Origin: Living Planet
Colonisation is disabled, devour planets to increase your size.
! Influence is your primary resource !
You can consume any inhabitable planet in your borders ( planetary decision )
To consume a planet costs 1 influence per month, and adds 1 planetary size to your capital per 4 consumed planetary biomass (subject to change)
As you devour a planet, you consume aspects of its planetary features to grow on the Living Planet.
You can decide how to evolve your living planet:
Sacrifice influence and a district slot to add specialist jobs.
Evolutionary shifts v1
As the planet grows you will reach critical points where you get to decide the future of the living planet. Specialise in science, or production, and shape your living planet forever.
Evolutionary shift improvements and balance.
This mechanic is still early days, and I would appreciate feedback and suggestions.
