About The Simulation
Driftya Mothership
Driftya Mothership is a generation-ship simulation game where the ship is a living system of dependencies. Oxygen, power, thermal control, food, population, and manufacturing interact continuously. Small design choices compound over hours, days, and mission years.
Players design systems with tradeoffs and reliability profiles, then vote on drafts before they are applied. Every approved change enters the causal graph and begins pushing ship state in real time.
Core Loop
- Inspect pressure in core properties.
- Design or edit a system draft.
- Validate tradeoffs and conditions.
- Vote, apply, and observe runtime impact.
Design Philosophy
- Second-level simulation state for precision.
- Human-readable forecasts by hour, day, week, month, and year.
- Believable constraints over perfect optimization.
- Emergent outcomes from interacting systems.
