About Equilinox
Equilinox is a relaxing nature simulation where you build ecosystems by placing plants and animals. Diverse flora makes the terrain more fertile, encouraging wildlife to appear and begin earning points.
The game offers a task system that rewards diversity points and new content, plus a sandbox mode that removes limits on placement and genetic editing, allowing unrestricted creative experiments.
01 / THE GUIDE
Creating Ecosystems
You begin by placing plants and animals into the world. A mixture of vegetation raises terrain fertility, which the description says helps wildlife to flourish.
Each addition influences the balance of the ecosystem, so the initial layout determines how species interact and how quickly the world develops.
- Start with several plant types to raise fertility early.
- Observe how newly placed animals affect each other before adding more.
02 / THE GUIDE
Nurturing Life‑Cycles
Every species follows its own life‑cycle, behaviors, and resource needs. Keeping those needs met lets animals live longer and breed more often, which the description links to earning additional points.
Balanced ecosystems produce healthier creatures, and healthy creatures contribute more points, reinforcing the need for ongoing care of resources and environment.
- Check resource levels regularly to avoid shortages.
- Prioritise species that generate points if you want faster growth.
03 / THE GUIDE
Evolving Species
Points earned from thriving wildlife can be spent to genetically modify species, changing traits and behaviours for various benefits, including visual variety.
Genetic changes also unlock more exotic plants, trees, and creatures, expanding the pool of options for future ecosystem designs.
- Test small genetic tweaks before applying larger changes.
- Use evolution to adapt species to the resources you have available.
04 / THE GUIDE
Progress Through Tasks
The game provides multiple in‑game tasks that grant rewards such as extra diversity points or new content when completed. Some tasks can be repeated, letting you farm plants or animals for a steady point flow.
Task rewards give a structured way to unlock additional content while still allowing you to meet objectives in the style you prefer.
- Repeatable tasks are useful for maintaining a regular point income.
- Align task goals with your current ecosystem layout for efficiency.
05 / THE GUIDE
Sandbox Mode Creativity
Sandbox mode removes limits, allowing you to place unlimited plants and animals and freely modify their genetics. This open environment supports projects like super‑fast pink wolves or rainbow sheep.
Without task constraints, you can experiment with any visual idea, turning the world into a personal canvas for endless experimentation.
- Use sandbox to trial genetic changes before applying them in task mode.
- Create themed scenes to see how different species interact visually.
