Our take on Periodic Deliveries
The defining structure is an automated delivery network constrained by non-crossing routes and a limited fleet, turning planet upgrades into an ongoing logistics puzzle.
What is Periodic Deliveries?
Run an interplanetary freight business by sending planetary output to worlds seeking those goods.
Create connections, configure buying and selling rules, allocate vessels, and allow automated shipments to earn money without upkeep. Reach additional star systems, purchase vessels, and develop research that opens vessel variants, business skills, and more advanced planetary stages. Improving a world raises its output while adding new requirements; all of those needs must be satisfied before the next upgrade.
Trade paths may not intersect, and the fleet has a fixed vessel capacity, turning multi-stop distribution into a routing puzzle. Research levels are crafted using other commodities, then spent to earn progress in the technology tree. The game contains 45 commodities, 5 research levels, 7 vessel categories, and an unbounded progression.
