Description
Self-Sustaining Buildings Technology introduces designs that allow structures to generate their own energy, recycle waste, and manage resources independently.
Benefits
Housing capacity Empire-wide+8.57%
Construction output Empire-wide+3.43%
Strategy notes
Self-Sustaining Buildings 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 +50% Housing; +20% Production. The principal counterpressure is that its fixed yards, long supply chains, and visible projects are vulnerable to blockade and sabotage.
Player hints
This is a specialization milestone. Reaching it reveals stronger combinations, but broad tier-three investment will slow every capstone. 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.
