Power Grid: Outpost carries the auction-and-market tension of Power Grid into a new-planet economy. Companies bid for power plants, construct shelters, develop technologies, and employ both permanent and seasonal workers as demand for electricity surges. Timing purchases matters: every improvement strengthens your production engine, but spending too aggressively can leave your expanding network short of cash.
