Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic clicker/management loops can be built with modern web tools, but a complete multi-world simulation game requires sophisticated state balancing, game engine loops, and narrative game design.
What it would actually take: Building a full narrative-driven multi-planet colony sim requires an engine like Godot, Phaser, or Unity, implementing an efficient tick-based simulation state machine for resource production and inter-world freight routing, coupled with intricate mathematical economic balance that AI assistants struggle to tune holistically.
