A session with BioEden, a dome-building restoration game, opens the latest indie column entry. The player lands on a lifeless planet, collects DNA samples through exploration to unlock extinct species, and arranges plants and equipment on hex tiles to satisfy each animal's biome, habitat, and breeding conditions. The writer finds the real puzzle is spatial: one humidifier can push a neighbor's humidity over its cap, while overlapping influence ranges can serve two species at once. Recycling returns 100 percent of resources, so nothing is lost by rebuilding.
