As players explore Terra in Skyforge, there is more to be done than anyone can realistically do. The forces of Aelion also have only a limited quantity of resources to spare, which means that even the deific player characters on the ground have to focus and think about what will be developed. Thus come the programs, initiatives into exploring different aspects of the world players are adventuring through which will allow players to help shape the course of the overall play environment.
Every hour, resources are allocated to each of the programs running on the surface of Terra. Depending on how much effort has been expended in support of a given program, more resources will be distributed accordingly; as the resources reach certain thresholds, the programs will make breakthroughs and provide new assets for players on the surface. So you might wind up with all of the programs advancing roughly in step, or one might rocket ahead; you’ll have to work with other players to focus development, or just watch things unfold organically.Source: Official Site
