Description
Terraforming Structures Technology develops buildings and infrastructure specifically designed to withstand and operate in terraforming environments.
Benefits
Housing capacity Empire-wide+5.33%
Population growth Empire-wide+2.67%
Strategy notes
Terraforming Structures 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 +40% Housing; +20% Population. 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 tier begins to define an empire. Compare its resource demand with the other technologies competing for your laboratories. 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.
