Cosmic Ascent is an idle/incremental space colony sim about building an orbital station, managing resources, assigning crew, refining materials, researching technology, and expanding from Earth orbit toward new planets.

Start with a small orbital outpost and turn it into a growing space operation. Balance energy, food, housing, storage, crew roles, refinery chains, laboratory research, and ship expeditions as your station becomes capable of reaching farther destinations.

KEY FEATURES

- Build and upgrade orbital station modules.

- Manage population, crew roles, energy, food, storage, and production.

- Send your ship to collect space debris and planetary resources.

- Unlock new destinations through radar, laboratory research, and progression.

- Refine raw materials into fuel, alloys, ceramics, and advanced components.

- Research technologies and unlock skill tree upgrades.

- Prepare for timed space events that test your colony planning.

- Play at your own pace with idle/incremental progression.

Cosmic Ascent focuses on long-term progression, resource planning, and the feeling of slowly turning a fragile orbital station into humanity's next step into the Solar System.
