Earth Repopulator

The Earth Repopulator is a large endgame building that sends pilots off the map on long-range gliders to "repopulate the world." It functions as a one-time or repeatable launch platform: when activated it removes selected beavers or bots from the local population and dispatches them outward in gliders. The building displays a popup and a short launch animation showing pilots boarding gliders and taking off toward the horizon.

The Earth Repopulator occupies a 7×7×6 footprint and requires a path connection but no power. The structure reserves extra free air space for launches, equivalent to four blocks of clearance above the visual height of the building. Construction progresses through multiple visual stages, changing at each 25% completion mark. Because of its size it takes a long time to finish, but it allows up to 40 builders to work on it simultaneously.

Activation and operation require specific resources and personnel. Preparing for a launch requires up to eight pilots, 500 Berries and 500 Treated Planks. The building is activated by selecting Launch. Once activated, pilots are launched on individual long-range gliders; the gliders launch in turn on the cardinal and inter-cardinal points as the structure rotates. Each launched pilot is removed from the local population and the game displays a message of the form “[Name] was launched.” The Earth Repopulator can be reactivated after it is restocked with the required resources and pilots.

• Practical notes: the building takes large amounts of time and materials to construct and to restock for multiple launches; plan storage and logistics accordingly.
• Up to eight pilots may be assigned for a single launch. Resource costs break down to 62.5 berries per pilot when launching the full complement.
• The building requires a path connection but does not consume electrical power.
• Construction shows visual progress every 25% and supports up to 40 simultaneous builders.
• Pilots launched can be either beavers or bots; launching bots yields the same rewards as launching beavers.
• Cosmetic behavior: if the camera follows a glider it remains visible far beyond local map boundaries and slowly fades in the extreme distance.

The Earth Repopulator is primarily a late-stage strategic tool for ending or advancing a campaign by permanently removing population members in exchange for whatever progression or achievement a player pursues. Because it permanently removes individuals from the settlement, players typically prepare carefully before committing pilots to a launch.
