Three Resources
Metal, crystal, deuterium—each with storage caps. You always know what you’re short on and why it matters.
BROWSER STRATEGY
Build. Research. Dominate.
Z-Maxion is a focused empire economy: three resources, an energy grid that punishes sloppy expansion, and upgrades that respect a single build queue. Run your colony against live timers, right in your browser.

The Loop That Carries The Game
The loop is simple to read and deep to tune—you see the whole economy at a glance, then refine it session after session.
Energy Tension
Mines pull power; solar adds it. Misbalance efficiency and the whole grid groans—fixing that is the puzzle.
Timed Upgrades
Single build queue, readable countdowns. Every upgrade is a deliberate commitment—no parallel spam, only sequencing skill.
Race Presentation
Swap Terran, Voidborne, or Synthari skins—planet art, dock silhouettes, and UI accents retune instantly.
Three Beats To Mastery
No lore dump—just three habits that separate stable colonies from stalled ones.
-
01
Read The Surface
Glance resources, caps, and the energy ratio. The HUD tells you whether you’re rich, starving, or lying to yourself.
-
02
Commit The Queue
Every upgrade is a bet: more extraction, more storage, or more solar stability. Only one builds at a time—choose deliberately.
-
03
React To Efficiency
When mines outrun solar, production scales down. Chase the bounce until the numbers exhale—that’s the skill ceiling.
Pick Your Silhouette
Three factions share the same mechanics—your choice is presentation: planet art, UI chrome, and dock silhouettes tuned to each culture.
Terran Accord
Oceanic · disciplined fleets
Crisp teal chrome and balanced silhouettes—closest to the classic command fantasy.
Voidborne
Signal-fractured · spectral
Purple depths and shards—perfect if your empire feels like listening into noise.
Synthari Compact
Forgeworld · amber industry
Rings and molten trims sell factories in orbit—fantasy for builders who stack megastructures.
Run The Homeworld Yourself
Run mines, storages, solar plants, and timed upgrades from one panel—your empire state persists in this browser until you reset it.
Why Z-Maxion Exists
We care about the slow burn of a sharp economy screen—capacity climbing, timers resolving, energy graphs telling you exactly when to flip the next upgrade.
Z-Maxion keeps the spotlight on that loop so mastery shows up fast: learn the grid once, then chase efficiency gains every session you play.
FAQ
Gameplay, economy, and factions—answered in plain language.
What am I trying to achieve on my homeworld?
Balance extraction and power: metal, crystal, and deuterium flow from leveled mines; storages cap how much you can hold; solar plants supply energy. When demand outpaces supply, mine output scales down—your job is to grow deliberately so efficiency stays high.
Why does mine efficiency drop below 100%?
Mines consume energy based on their levels; solar plants produce it. If total consumption exceeds production, the game applies an efficiency factor so hourly yields shrink. Add solar—or pause mine upgrades—until used energy stays at or below what your plants generate.
What changes when I pick a faction?
Factions retune visuals: homeworld artwork, HUD accents, and dock ship art. Mechanics and costs stay shared—pick the kit that fits your taste without worrying about hidden stat traps.
Where is my colony is saved?
