Beecarbonize Tips & Tricks

We might be adding more as we go – so share yours if you feel like something is missing. Spoiler-free for the most part, but if you like the added challenge of figuring some workings of the game by yourself, try going in blind first.

People eat money, so it’s generally a good idea to generate the red resources at least twice as fast as the yellow ones.

I cannot stress this enough but you get the red resources from Ecosystems (as well as Industry).

Ecosystems are great – try to play a game without investing anything into industry and go through ecosystems instead.

It’s generally a good idea to buy all the basic cards for each sector as early as possible (with the potential exception of the People sector).

The lower you keep the emissions, the easier the game is (especially important in Hardcore mode)!

Try investing into stuff like Agroforestry or Carbon Capture – even though they only reduce emissions one time they can help you significantly at the beginning.

Try getting rid of 20th century industry (only works in normal mode).

Some cards protect you from events! For instance, if you invest in nuclear energy, it’s a good idea to buy the Safer Nuclear card (even though it doesn’t have any visible stats) to safeguard against nuclear catastrophes. You can see what cards protect against what events in the encyclopedia.

If you decide to invest in the industry, it’s a good idea to also invest in people to offset the emissions, which you can afford to do if your Industry sector is really fast. Cards from the Carbon Tax branch will be especially useful in this situation.

Investing in science as soon as possible is generally a good idea.

The ecosystems incubator (Local Solutions) and the science incubator can be very useful as they generate random, potentially really good cards if you get lucky.

Don’t ignore the events – some can yield very useful cards when you solve them.

You can strategize with the order in which you solve events – some yield resources you can instantly use to solve others or to upgrade your cards further.

If you’re trying to win as fast as possible, it’s a good idea to experiment with different strategies (for example what are the first cards you’ll buy can have a huge impact on how fast you can win).

The people victory card is both the fastest and the easiest one to reach.
