Enterprising players can build tree taps and extract natural rubber from trees to build rubber blocks, pogo sticks and more.

Engineers can construct machining mills to make molds from metal ingots such as titanium, magnesium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, antimony, tungsten, platinum, bismuth and aluminum and from alloys such as brass and bronze.

Materials scientists can create injection molders and extruders to melt process a whole range of polymers into running shoes, scuba gear, plastic bricks, a host of gripped tools and more.

Aspiring chemical engineers, can advance into the age of oil through distillation columns, steam crackers, merox treatment units and chemical processors.

Though expansive, Polycraft World is actively played by players of all ages.

We use our game to teach elementary kids all the way through college-aged students about science, chemistry, materials science, and engineering.

Using new items and inventories designed especially for this challenge, teams will be required to craft personal protective equipment ( PPE ) like facemasks and body shields, create COVID testing kits, build health clinics, develop treatments, and mass-produce vaccines to cure all NPCs on the servers.

If your initial Team Space lacks the necessary resources to rapidly expand, head to a Base Camp as a miningharvesting outpost to grab the needed blocks and items.

The competition will be divided into two stages initially, teams will be asked to build PPE, create a Clinic, craft testing kits, and develop and deploy treatment kits to test, quarantine, and treat symptoms of sick villagers.

In the second stage (i.e., championship round), teams will return to their private property and will have to create a Research Lab to aid them in their development of a COVID vaccine that will forever eradicate this illness.

The highest scores will be awarded to teams that can mass-produce vaccines in enough quantities such that everyone in Polycraft World will be safe.

Part of the game play will require teams to enter puzzle rooms in-game that will test their knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics through questions and clues.

Teamwork is rewarded in these challenges, with some puzzles being difficult to do without friends.

Details on milestones and crafting instructions for the COVID items will be made available through the Polycraft World wiki at the beginning of each stage.

Interested in programming building new in-game items working to make the wiki general helping Trust us, theres plenty of fun stuff to do.
