Shackleton Base – Below. Within. Above Expansion
An expansion for Shackleton Base
Below. Within. Above opens up new horizons on the Moon. Explore its depths, welcome civilians, and raise your ambitions toward space. Three all-new corporations and a visionary space agency—India—expand your options and expand your possibilities tenfold. Get ready for titanic challenges and to write a new chapter in human history!
Three Corporations, Three Ways to Redefine the Moon
These three Corporations introduce new mechanics that enhance the game’s customization and replayability by offering entirely different strategic focuses: underground exploration, civilian population management, and vertical expansion.
- With Undermoon, dig beneath the surface and open tunnels that expand living space. Rapid expansion… but be careful: the base’s stability is at risk, and your reputation is on the line.
- Lunar City brings civilians to the moon: assign them to key projects and turn this new population into a real operational asset for your base and the crater facilities.
- With Zenith Works, switch to vertical construction: build shared infrastructure and stack your buildings across multiple levels by spending blueprints to boost their performance.
Choose your trio, combine their mechanics, and give each game of Shackleton Base a unique identity.
The Indian Space Agency: the power of innovation
With the Indian Space Agency, every reputation point becomes a strategic resource. Spend your hard-earned reputation to command your teams with unmatched efficiency, or to fund projects without worrying about energy constraints. Thanks to these unique abilities, India invites you to push the boundaries of traditional management and explore bold strategies, where your agency’s reputation becomes the driving force behind your expansion.
- Side A: After each Command action, spend reputation to follow up with an additional Corporation action.
- Side B: When funding a project, pay reputation to ignore energy requirements—and, once upgraded, even the credit costs!
India turns reputation into a lever for innovation. Can you harness this power to write a new chapter in lunar history?
An enhanced single-player mode with Astrobot
Shackleton Base’s single-player experience gains new depth: the Astrobot can now also utilize the mechanics of the three new Corporations: Undermoon, Lunar City, and Zenith Works. Face off against an automa capable of using all the new features of the expansion, for fresh challenges and great replayability, even in single-player mode.
