Improvements


Improvements

Improvements are the engines that power and accelerate core world output. As the game progresses, so do the volume and efficiency of planetary improvements. Improvements functionally produce, or multiply by a percentage, the resources that eventually compose the planetary output of any given core world.

The efficiency of improvements increases with their "level," which can be increased in 2 ways:

  • Increased by planet-wide level upgrades by improvement categories, which require technological research.
  • Adjacency bonuses from other improvements that neighbor the target improvement.

Districts


Districts

Districts are the generic improvements in the game, and are extremely useful when built adjacent to unique improvements in order to provide bonuses to the level of the unique improvement.

Orbital Improvements


Orbital Improvements

Every planet that can be colonized has a certain number of orbital improvements slots that can be filled. The number of available slots is dependent on the planet class. Some orbital improvements can be built on core worlds only while others can be built on core worlds and colonies. The ones that can be built on colonies often boost the colony planetary inputs thus increasing the attached core world inputs. Some orbital improvements are civilization unique and can only be built on one core world. Some of these are upgradable into other kinds of unique orbital improvements as well.
