Zones

A zone is a 2D tile map (usually 2048×2048) where robots gather resources. Every zone has two resource systems that the server maintains automatically:

• Ore deposits — scattered nodes in the ground with a finite amount of material per tile. Mined out below a threshold, a node is removed and a new one is generated elsewhere.
• Plants — a living population that grows, fruits, and spreads tile by tile, kept near a per-zone fertility target.

This section explains the mechanics and shows real zones as worked examples.

Player-facing gathering mechanics (how to actually mine and harvest) are in Resource gathering in the features section; the stat tables for what each ore and plant yields are in Content.

Pages

• Alpha — Every alpha zone — the protected main islands and their PvE companions, each with its own page.
• Beta — Every beta zone — the open-PvP islands, each with its own page.
• Gamma — Every frontier-belt zone: the tc transit zones and the T1–T4 tier islands, each with its page.
• Generation — The rules for how zones generate ore nodes and plant populations.
• World — Every zone drawn with its real terrain at its grid position, outlined by galaxy, with the teleport and gate connections from the database.
• Protection levels — Alpha, beta and gamma — the three protection levels every zone has, what each one allows, and how to tell them apart in the client.
• Zone index — Every zone with a teleport connection to another zone, grouped by family.
