Strategy notes
Dimensional Habitats develops the Terraforming discipline within Expansion and Terraforming. Open marginal systems early, then turn fragile settlements into durable and populous worlds. Its immediate value is +50% Population; +25% Housing. The principal counterpressure is that planetary programs mature slowly and expose expensive frontier infrastructure before it can defend itself.
Player hints
This is late-path research. Treat it as a strategic objective measured in weeks or months, and expect rivals to react to the capability. Favor this technology when its Terraforming 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.
