Strategy notes
Urban Planning develops the Construction discipline within Industrial Megastructure Empire. Concentrate minerals, automation, and orbital capacity into unmatched construction throughput and system-scale works. Its immediate value is +10% Population; -8% Credit Cost, -5% Common Minerals Cost; +7% Trade. The principal counterpressure is that its fixed yards, long supply chains, and visible projects are vulnerable to blockade and sabotage. This milestone deliberately joins completed material, industrial, or colony infrastructure research.
Player hints
This is an inexpensive path entry. Research it early when you want to test this direction without sacrificing strategic flexibility. Favor this technology when its Construction benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects. Every Construction prerequisite must be completed before research can begin.
