all operate and how they all might work (or not work) together. Outside of the initial tutorials, the game leaves players to their own devices, which works for its Zen aesthetic, but can be rough early on while still learning how different buildings, biomes, etc.

Each comes with its own unique challenges, as well as its own ecosystems to learn about and reclaim. There are also four different regions that can be unlocked, ranging from a dried up riverbed with toxic soil to the irradiated ruins of a flooded city.

Each area is procedurally generated, meaning that no two playthroughs are ever the same. Terra Nil give players a pretty versatile sandbox in which to play. Best of all, at least in the gaming environment, you get to see the results of your efforts on a much grander scale. Most importantly, the game teaches how people, with some forethought and planning, combined with hard work and effort, can reshape our world and maybe even restore some of its natural balance. The game shows players how certain elements all come together to keep the cycle of life moving along and how each little change can have a lasting effect. While the tech and the story are set firmly in the realm of science fiction, the theme of the game and the lessons it can teach are rooted more in science fact. But Terra Nil gives players a chance to turn things around, using technology to give Mother Nature a new lease on life in an otherwise inhospitable world. It's no secret that the world has taken a beating from humankind as deforestation, pollution, global warming, and more have taken their toll.
