Population & Infrastructure

	The basic infrastructure required to support a given population, from rickety orbital hab-modules to megacities and everything between.
–In-game description

Population & Infrastructure is a structure. It is automatically built at all colonies.

Statistics

Effects

• Provides a monthly income of 10 000 credits a month, increasing by the same amount for each colony size past 3.
• Can provide +1 stability if the demand for Domestic Goods is met.
• Can provide +1 stability if the demand for Luxury Goods is met.
• Will incur a stability penalty if the demand for Food or Organics is not met, equal to the larger shortage amount.

Upkeep

Population & Infrastructure has a base upkeep of 1500 credits, increasing by the same amount for each colony size past 3.

Production

Population & Infrastructure produces the following commodities:

• Crew: equal to colony size, minus three
• Recreational Drugs: equal to colony size, minus four
• Harvested Organs: equal to colony size, minus five

Note: a negative production value will simply not produce any commodity, and does not cause a demand. Population & Infrastructure only begins production at colony size 4 or with an Alpha Core installed.

Demands

Population & Infrastructure demands the following commodities:

• Food: equal to colony size
• Domestic Goods: equal to colony size, minus one
• Luxury Goods: equal to colony size, minus three
• Recreational Drugs: equal to colony size, minus two
• Harvested Organs: equal to colony size, minus three
• Supplies: two
• Organics: equal to colony size, minus one (only on planets without the Habitable condition)

AI Cores

Population & Infrastructure receives the following perks from the assignment of an AI Core:

• Gamma: reduces demand by one unit
• Beta: reduces demand by one unit, reduces upkeep by 25%
• Alpha: reduces demand by one unit, reduces upkeep by 25%, increases production by one unit

Notes

• Population & Infrastructure is always present on a colony, and can only be removed via Bombardment on a planet of colony size 4 or lower, or the colony turning decivilized as a result of prolonged instability, destroying the colony.

Trivia

• Population & Infrastructure's icon changes based on the colony size, with three icons denoting a low population colony, a medium population colony, and a high population colony.
