Help them achieve this goal by raising resources through the planet for them to harvest.          \r\n\r\nThe faith of the surface dwellers is required in order to create new resources. You push the resources up to the people on the surface, and they will use them to create the structures they need to be able to get off the planet.            \r\n\r\nA few other notes:      \r\n------------------      \r\nDifferent types of blocks require different amounts of faith, so if a block is grayed out wait until you've built up enough faith to push it up.  You can push up dirt if you just want to get an existing block up to the top layer cheaply.        \r\n\r\nThe surface dwellers won't harvest a resource if they don't have space for it, if it looks like they don't know what to do, push more block types up.                \r\n\r\n** Winning requires refined resources:  fuel, circuits, and steel **        \r\n\r\nMeteors will crash occasionally which provides the meteor resource when harvested.      \r\nFactories can turn Gold into Circuits, Iron into Steel, and Meteors into Fuel.          \r\nA Temple will slowly turn grapes into Faith.         \r\n\r\n========================================================      \r\nTeam:      \r\n-----      \r\nDoug Graham, Brian Ploeckelman, Brian Rossman, Ian McNamara, Colin Kennedy, John Hoopes, Jason Ploeckelman     \r\n\r\n========================================================      \r\nAsset Sources:      \r\n--------------      \r\nArt:  \r\nSurface dweller sprites: http:\/\/opengameart.org\/content\/victims-and-villagers    \r\nResource icons: http:\/\/opengameart.org\/content\/100-glitch-icons    \r\nSome user interface: http:\/\/www.kenney.nl\/assets    \r\n(all other art done by team members)        \r\n\r\nMusic:  Jason Ploeckelman        \r\n\r\nSound effects from freesound.org: usernames      \r\nBenboncan, j1987, nfrae, reinsamba, moonfisher, uagadugu, sonsdebarcelona, Bekir_VirtualDJ, CosmicD, stevelalonde, dheming, jobro  ","title":"Crustacean Farm"}
