Terra Engine

A biological machine was here before you. You are a Terraformer who crash-landed on the wrong planet. The alien before you cracked the chemistry — dump berries in the lake, it ferments, the gas plant produces breathable air. They just couldn't keep up with the harvest. Their body is still there. Their last message tells you everything. Keep the lake fed. Keep breathing. Rescue is coming. We don't know when. The planet is a living machine — it grows your food, makes your air, and tries to kill you with boulders. Every ship you see in the distance came here with technology. The planet didn't fight them. It just kept being a planet. Feed it. Or become the food.
