› Code: Terraform

what is Code: Terraform?

Code: Terraform is a simulation game where you automate tasks and terraform a planet using a Python-like programming system.

In Code: Terraform, players manage resources and automate processes through a custom coding interface resembling Python. The game offers scalable complexity with features like outposts, drones, and fabrication, allowing deep interaction with the terraforming process and colony management.

It sits in the Idle / Numbers / Management / Automation / Strategy corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
