Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Buildings — Income buildings can be placed via corporation actions, providing income each phase, and can be flipped for points.
- Civilians — Lunar City introduces civilians that can be moved into a player's base, with their function often modified by cards.
- drilling — The Sunam corporation involves drilling into the moon, which can block resource spaces and yields reputation penalties the deeper you go.
- Overbuilding — The ability to build buildings on top of existing ones, making it easier to deploy buildings and gain points at the end of the game.
- player powers — The expansion adds one new player power, and three new corporations, each with unique abilities.
- Reputation — Reputation is lost each round based on drilling depth in the Sunam corporation, but can be gained through specific actions or cards.
- special buildings — The Seen It Works corporation allows building special buildings linked to cards, which can be overbuilt.
- tiles — Eight new tiles are included which can be placed over scoring points, granting instant bonuses or improved actions.
- Unique Player Powers — The expansion adds one new player power, and three new corporations, each with unique abilities.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's not like a negative thing, but it's it's kind of a small thing.
- This is the meat and potatoes of this expansion, absolutely.
- If you like Taken the Base, I think you're going to like this expansion because it's more.
- I feel like you can play Cyclades base 20 times without needing this expansion.
