Colony systems

Citizens mine, gather, haul, research and manufacture weapons, armor, food and supplies. Salaries, healthcare, housing and working conditions connect production efficiency to the wider citizen-management system.

Logistics priorities

  1. Stabilize housing, food and essential work assignments before adding specialist production.
  2. Keep storage close to busy work areas and watch for hauling congestion.
  3. Expand research and manufacturing without pulling too many workers from basic supply jobs.
  4. Produce equipment around the next expedition instead of maintaining every production line at once.

Patch note: the 12 August update added quantity selection when depositing items into buildings. The 14 August update fixed resources disappearing during transport.

Building records

For efficient planning, track each building’s unlock, construction cost, inputs, outputs and worker capacity. The Resource Transfer Station is especially important for collecting loose resources and consolidating storage.

Next operational step

Once food, hauling and storage are stable, prepare research and manufacturing around the next expedition. The Resources & Production guide covers the broader supply loop; the combat briefing covers squad preparation.
