The cultivation of a stable aquatic biosphere is a massive undertaking that will require thousands of experts in hundreds of fields, from genetics to ecology xenobiology and more. Under the direction of a widely-renowned scientist Prokhor Zakharov, the Reef Institute brings the many disparate threads of this effort under one roof, where scientists can mingle and share their efforts in both focused and interdisciplinary studies.
Introduction[]
Reef Institutes allows the addition of aquatic species when playing with the biosphere feature.
Level Charts[]
Beginner Mode differs in time needed compared to Normal Mode. The Culture modifiers can alter the total Biomass, Population, Credits, Research Time and/or Construction Time gained/lost for the buildings/research.
