3096 description
In 3096, Earth’s surface is gone, stripped bare by Martians who haul air, water, plants, and animals to Mars. The last shelter left for humanity is the underground Preservation beneath a colossal hexagonal entrance to the HHI facility. Hector and his team have taken refuge underground, while the surface—renamed simply 3096—remains a sterile, dead rock above.
The conflict centers on EL:ONE, a network built by Elle, a polystellar metallian superform, who endeavored to save humanity. As war erupts, many who once protected humanity join the Martians and turn against Elle. Elle herself salvages debris from across the Sol system with salvage bots, ferrying the material back to 3096 for processing. Her scavenged parts become a valuable, dangerous prize in the struggle for survival.
To prevent the Martians from seizing Elle’s technology, Her barges continually dump scrap toward the underground entrance, threatening to bury the HHI building. In response, Hector develops tech to accelerate the disintegration of this debris. The key invention is Mycogrid—a hybrid, ionizing, semi-emergent fungellian that delivers a powerful charge capable of vaporizing scrap. When enough Mycogrid is started in an area, it becomes self-sustaining.
A contest is held to program the autotanks that assemble and drive the Mycogrid machine. Successful mission data is added to the evolving algorithm, and players use energy Creds to bid for a seat on a rocket to Mars. The competition blends strategy, resource management, and technical optimization as you shepherd the Mycogrid process from a concept to a self-sustaining force of destruction for scrap and a shield against encroaching Martian threats.
As a participant, you will marshal limited resources, balance risk, and push the Mycogrid program toward ever greater efficiency. You’ll navigate the fragile balance between salvaging precious components from Elle’s debris and protecting the underground sanctuary from being overwhelmed by mountains of discarded material. The fate of 3096 hinges on your ability to convert data into action, bid wisely with Creds, and outpace rivals who also seek escape to Mars.
Good luck emerges as the core theme: survival through ingenuity, teamwork, and ruthless optimization. The game weaves a tense narrative of rebellion, salvation, and the ultimate bid for a new home among the stars, where the line between ally and adversary shifts with every scrap turned to vapor and every data point added to the algorithm.
