Comparative Planetary Ecology

Shared Foundations

Show on map

Description

Models atmosphere, water, soil, and native life as one system before any colony attempts deliberate environmental change.

Benefits

  • Colony Ship Unlocks

Strategy notes

Comparative Planetary Ecology develops the Terraforming discipline within Shared Foundations. Shared foundations reveal multiple strategic paths and let a young empire learn what its economy can sustain. Its immediate value is access to later technologies and strategic combinations. The principal counterpressure is that foundations provide flexibility but little immediate military power.

Player hints

This is a shared foundation. Use its first breakthrough to reveal several directions before committing deeply. 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.
