Citizens and jobs
Citizens perform mining, gathering, hauling, research and manufacturing of weapons, armor, food and supplies.
Assigning the right citizens to the right jobs keeps production flowing to both the base and your expedition soldiers.
Resources and production chains
The macro chain runs mining to gathering to hauling to research to manufacturing, producing weapons, armor, food and supplies.
You can also trade with wandering merchants, which adds another route for resources beyond what you produce.
Research, policies and growth
Research is a citizen job that unlocks further capabilities; policies let you shape the colony's society.
Fear, propaganda, surveillance, punishment and mercy are the levers available for controlling the settlement.
How the colony feeds expeditions
The base supplies the soldiers, gear and logistics that make expeditions possible.
In return, expeditions bring resources, cores and captured enemies that drive colony growth — closing the loop.
