About IXION
IXION places you in command of the drifting Tiqqun, a prototype space station that has become humanity’s last ark after Earth’s ecosystems collapse. As Administrator you must balance survival, resource extraction, and the crew’s trust while navigating a hostile cosmos.
The game blends city‑building with space‑exploration, requiring you to expand the station, manage emergencies, and seek out other survivor pockets. Your choices echo through the narrative, shaping whether the Tiqqun reaches a new home or succumbs to extinction.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Premise
Earth faces ecosystemic collapse, prompting DOLOS A.E.C. to search for a new human home. The Tiqqun, a prototype station, drifts as a disintegrating ark, carrying the remnants of humanity.
You act as the Administrator, tasked with guiding the crew, uncovering space’s secrets, and confronting threats both external and internal, all while striving toward a final destination.
- Consider the narrative stakes when allocating resources to crew welfare.
- Weigh the impact of each decision on long‑term story outcomes.
02 / THE GUIDE
City‑Building and Population Management
The Tiqqun contains six unlockable sectors, each expanding capacity for population, jobs, and monitoring via the Data Listening System. Managing crew trust and responding to their pleas is essential to avoid mutiny.
Population growth, survivor rescues, and cryopod recovery all feed into the station’s development, requiring careful assessment and reassessment of infrastructure needs.
- Balance sector expansion with available power and hull integrity.
- Use the Data Listening System to gauge crew sentiment regularly.
03 / THE GUIDE
Resource Gathering and Research
You must locate, extract, and refine resources to sustain the station. Research fills technological gaps left by DOLOS’s isolation, enabling new buildings and capabilities.
Probes, mining ships, and cargo vessels are constructed to explore stellar maps, uncover hidden assets, and support scientific expeditions that reveal both opportunities and threats.
- Prioritize research that unlocks essential life‑support structures.
- Deploy probes early to map resource‑rich locations.
04 / THE GUIDE
Hazards and Emergency Management
Space presents dangers such as hull breaches, overloaded power supplies, and electrical fires. You must create backup power, manage emergencies, and enable Extra‑Vehicular Activity to address these risks.
Effective risk management prevents mutiny and station failure, reinforcing crew trust and ensuring continued operation toward the final destination.
- Maintain redundant power sources to mitigate overloads.
- Regularly inspect hull integrity to pre‑empt breaches.
05 / THE GUIDE
Exploration and Survivor Encounters
Beyond the Tiqqun lie whole new stellar maps. By sending probes and constructing ships, you can discover other survivor pockets, salvage wrecks, and bring new groups into your mission.
These encounters expand the narrative, offering fresh challenges and resources while testing your ability to integrate outsiders without compromising station stability.
- Assess the needs of incoming survivors before allocating housing.
- Use exploration data to anticipate upcoming threats.
