The unique "Darwin evolution simulator" from Maxis turned out to be a truly amazing game - starting from a simple bacterium, the player grew his own civilization, and even established contact with other planets. The ultimate goal of the game is to travel to the center of the galaxy, which requires serious preparation and a lot of time.
Instructions
Step 1
Purchase all possible upgrades for your ship. The most important is the purchase of a level 5 space engine: without it, you physically cannot fly to the center, because when approaching it, the length of the jump decreases. Also, try not to leave your empire undefended - the journey runs the risk of being extremely long, and therefore you must withstand several attacks. As a last resort, simply increase the scale of your empire so much that the enemy simply won't have time to capture it.
Step 2
Stock up on as many first aid kits and batteries as possible. There are only a few paths to the center of the galaxy (and perhaps only one), you will have to select it by the method of sequential enumeration of all possible options: you will "jump" from planet to planet and at the same time gradually approach the center.
Step 3
On the way, you will encounter a hostile race of Groxes. The developers admit that the civilization has 2,800 planets, and therefore destroying them is not the best solution (although technically it is possible, there is even a special achievement). In any case, you will have to break through the planets: the easiest way to do this is by terraforming. Groxes live only in a "disgusting" climate, and therefore any improvement in conditions leads to their death on the planet. It makes no sense to capture and populate planets, because they remain defenseless after you leave.
Step 4
Technically, you can befriend the Groxes, which will make your path to the center of the galaxy the easiest possible. To do this, fly to a hostile planet without reacting to attacks. Take a mission from civilization and complete it: this will increase your rating in the eyes of the enemy. In addition, you can activate the shield, if available, hover over the city and "shower" it with rays of happiness - this also greatly improves your relationship with the aliens. Having reached the "Neutral" status, feel free to go to the center of the galaxy - you can buy consumables right on the road.
