DESCRIPTION
lightyears is a strategy game with steampunk elements. You are the ruler of a new city on an alien planet and you have to provide it with energy to let it advance. To achieve this you have to construct "Steam Makers" and connect them through pipes and nodes.Ensuring a stable and plentiful steam supply will let you upgrade your city. This will result in additional "work units" which will allow you to do a higher amount of simultaneous construction work. Other than constructing "Steam Makers", nodes and pipes, you can also upgrade those to increase their efficiency.
To make your task more difficult there are atural phenomenons that may harm
part of your network, in which case you will have to repair it in hurry before
the city loses too much energy. You'll also have to face enemy alien ships,
of increasing power as the game advances, which will attempt to destroy
your infraestructures.
