Buildings

Buildings are an important aspect of Colonies. They have various functions that help keep your Colony going, ranging from housing your Colonists to holding onto Funds.

Colonists can be assigned to work on the current construction project. These workforce settings are adjusted in the Biodome Management Screen, in the lower left corner.

Construction projects lead to new colonial improvements. The current improvement building is shown in the lower right hand area of the Biodome Management Screen and can be changed there as well.

The more Colonists set to construction, the faster the project will be completed.

Some projects also require a certain amount of Resources to complete. Those resources are stored in the colony's Refinery, which is a colonial improvement itself and a prerequisite for many of the other types of buildings. This list shows the common buildings and their build times with 100 Colonists working on them (i.e. a colony of population 100 set to 100% Constructing, or a colony of population 1,000 set to 10% Constructing). Build times can be rushed for an expensive price tag, about $150,000 per day in the day units listed below. Rushing takes care of the time requirement only; resources may still be required.

Note: When you Place the Biodome Kit down to Found a Colony, it starts with a Biodome (Lvl 1) Building within it automatically.
