1. Vision

Robogalaxia is a decentralized, persistent, strategic empire management game where players create Corporations, build autonomous robot fleets, and expand across a living galaxy. Players do not micromanage individual missions — instead, they manage empire resources, infrastructure, and fleet composition while their autonomous robot fleets scavenge, conquer, infiltrate, and research. Growth depends purely on active fleet operations, not passive infrastructure production.

2. Core Gameplay Pillars

Fleet-Centric Growth: Robots are the only source of new Resources.
Autonomous Actions: Fleets act independently based on Corporation strategy.
Strategic Resource Allocation: Manage Composite, Current, Compute carefully.
Active Survival: No passive income. Only successful missions fuel empire growth.
Persistent Galaxy: Player Corporations expand or collapse based on real performance.

3. World and Setting

Far-future galaxy, post-human civilization.
Exotic cybernetic Corporations vie for control of derelict worlds and lost technologies.
Players command fully autonomous Robot fleets to rebuild and dominate.

4. Game Structure

Incorporation Flow

Pay ETH fee to incorporate a Corporation.
Choose:
- Corporation name
- Corporate strategy (core directive)
Select starting Sector on Galactic Map (free, unowned Sector).
Automatically build starting Factory in chosen Sector.
Receive:
- Starter Resource Package:
  - Composite (enough to build 3 Robots)
  - Current (enough to launch 3 missions)
  - Small starter Compute reserve.
Construct initial 3 Robots:
- Choose types (Android, Bionic, Vessel, Automaton).
- Customize Unit Names.
Enter Galaxy Overview.

Core Management Interface

Top Bar: Corporation | Fleet | Resources | Sectors | Infrastructure.
Bottom Bar: Build | Construct | Manage.

5. Resources

Resource	How Gained	Main Use
Composite	Missions (Scavenge, Override), Recycling Robots	Build Robots, Build Infrastructure
Current	Missions (Scavenge), Recycling Vessels	Fuel mission deployments
Compute	Missions (Research), Recycling Androids/Spectras	Unlock Advanced Robots and Research Bonuses
Credits	Secondary (optional future expansions)	Flavor economy, acquisitions

No resource is passively generated. Resources are gained only through successful fleet missions or recycling robots.

6. Robots

Attributes

Cognition: Intelligence for complex missions.
Force: Strength for conquering.
Agility: Speed for foraging and infiltration.
Endurance: Durability during operations.

Types

Type	Profile	Recycling Output
Android	Balanced unit	Composite + Compute
Bionic	Agile scout	Composite only
Vessel	Heavy hauler	Composite + Current
Automaton	Combat tank	Composite only
Spectra	Elite infiltrator	Composite + Compute
Megatech	Capital-class robot	Massive Composite only

Robot Type	Cognition	Force	Agility	Endurance
Android	7	5	6	5
Bionic	5	3	8	4
Vessel	3	6	4	8
Automaton	4	9	2	7
Spectra	8	4	7	5
Megatech	6	10	2	10

Robot Lifecycle

Robots deployed autonomously into galaxy.
Robots can return:
- Successful (gains Resources).
- Damaged (repairable if Resources available).
- Destroyed (can be recycled).
Recycling yields partial Resource recovery.

Construction

Built at Factory.
Costs Composite.
Advanced Robots (Androids, Spectras, Megatechs) require:
- Factory + Lab + Compute.

7. Infrastructure

Infrastructure	Purpose
Factory	Allows Construction of Robots using Composite.
Lab	Allows Unlocking Advanced Robots and Research Upgrades using Compute.
Port	Allows deploying fleets using Current.

Each Sector can host up to three Infrastructure.
Infrastructure does not passively generate Resources.
Infrastructure is required to process Resources into actions.

8. Missions

Robots autonomously undertake missions after launch. Players do not manually assign specific missions.

Mission Type weighting depends on Fleet composition:

Mission	Description	Attributes Weighted
Scavenge	Gather Resources from derelicts.	Agility + Endurance
Override	Capture and claim Sectors.	Force + Endurance
Infiltrate	Sabotage rivals.	Cognition + Agility

Mission Outcomes

Missions produce Resources (Composite, Current, Compute).
Successful Overrides yield Sector ownership.
Infiltration can delay or damage rival Corporations (future expansion).

9. Strategic Directives

Players set a Directive in Manage Panel that biases robot mission preference:

Directive	Behavior Bias
Expansionist	Focus Override missions.
Industrialist	Focus Scavenge missions.
Researcher	Focus Research missions.
Saboteur	Focus Infiltrate missions.
Balanced	Equal priority among all missions.

Directives steer fleet autonomy but cannot micromanage individual decisions.

10. Sectors

Each controlled Sector passively holds strategic value.
Each Sector allows construction of one Infrastructure.
Controlling more Sectors = potential for larger fleet throughput.

11. Cycles and Progression

Cycle Duration: 6 months real-world time.
Leaderboards: Track Cred Points (Sector Control, Fleet Strength, Research Success).
Persistence: Corporations and assets persist beyond Cycles.

12. Economy

Initial ETH Incorporation Fee to start Corporation.
No speculative token initially.
All major assets (Corporations, Robots, Sectors) minted as NFTs.
Credits: Future optional secondary economy.

13. Visual Style Guide

Retro pixel art aesthetic.
Dark backgrounds with green luminous highlights.
Card-style UI for robot construction, recycling, mission results.
Clean HUD: Top Bar (Info), Bottom Bar (Actions).
Galactic Map: Stylized sector selection and fleet tracking.

14. Technical Scope

Autonomous fleet mission engine.
Real-time asynchronous galaxy simulation.
Web3 wallet connection for incorporation.
Minimal on-chain interactions except asset minting and tracking.

15. Final Gameplay Loop

1. Incorporate Corporation.
2. Build starter Robots with Composite + Factory.
3. Launch fleets via Port (consume Current).
4. Robots autonomously complete missions (Scavenge, Override, Infiltrate, Research).
5. Gain Resources (Composite, Current, Compute).
6. Expand fleet, construct Labs, unlock Advanced Robots.
7. Recycle damaged Robots for partial Resource recovery.
8. Scale empire strategically across the galaxy.

Final Statement

Robogalaxia is a pure empire simulation where strategic resource management, autonomous fleet actions, and smart infrastructure planning decide the fate of Corporations across a living, breathing galaxy. Success is earned only through intelligent decisions and active engagement with the galactic frontier.
