Star System Improvement

For Empire Improvements, see Empire Improvement.

Improvements can be made on any System to accentuate its naturally occurring values of FIDS , at the cost of Industry and/or Dust .

Food Improvements[]

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep
Sustainable Farms	+1 per on Desert, Arctic, Arid, Tundra	75	-2
Epigenetic Crop Seeding	+2 per on Ocean, Jungle, Terran +1 per on Desert, Artic, Arid, Tundra	200	-3
Intensive Cultivation Logistics	+3 per on planet with Explored Moon	300	-5
Compact Refrigeration	+30% on Star System	450	-7
Wasteless Supply Chain	+2 per on Barren, Lava +1 per on Planets, Helium, Methane, Hydrogen, Asteroids	1000	-9
Permanent Perennials	+100% Surplus Bonus in Star System	2800	-11

Specific Cravers Improvement[]

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep	Replaces
Intensive Cultivation Logistics	+3 on Explored Moon -50% Locust Points on Planet quality Default	300	-5	Intensive Cultivation Logistics

Specific Sowers Improvement[]

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep	Replaces
Inorganic Cultivation	+3 on Explored Moon +3 on Planets with Moon Temple	300	-5	Intensive Cultivation Logistics

Specific Horatio Improvement[]

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep
Greenhouse Shields	+20 on Star System	450	-3

Note: 450 in return for a constant +20 is almost never worthwhile. Only useful in a start-up colony and in that case it takes 10+ turns to build and Farm Exploitation would give you a much better return. Or depending on the Planet types in the System, Sustainable Farms or Epigenetic Crop Seeding are both much cheaper with returns based on not a flat amount.

Industry Improvements[]

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep
Heavy Isotope Refineries	+10 on Star System +2 per on Lava +1 per on Arctic, Methane, Arid, Tundra, Desert	75	-2
Interplanetary Transport Network	+3 per on Lava +2 per on Methane, Asteroids +1 per on Barren +20% on Star System	200	-3
Predictive Logistics	+2 per on Planets (Automatons get a different bonus instead)	700	-5
AI Labor	-20% Cost of Improvements on Star System	1250	-7
Self-Organizing Cities	-20% Ship Cost on Star System	2400	-9
Adaptive Industrial Systems	100% Surplus converted to	3600	-11

Industry Improvements - Sowers Faction-Specific[]

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep
Extreme Infrastructure	+3 per on Arctic +2 per on Barren +2 per on Hydrogen +2 per on Helium +2 per on Tundra +1 per on Terran +1 per on Ocean +1 per on Arid	450	-3

Specific Pilgrims Improvement[]

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep
Factories of the Faithful	Ability to hide from Enemy Inspection on Star System +20 on Star System	450	-3

Note: One of the best faction-specific Improvements, this gives you a flat +30 for a reasonable 450 . You get it fairly early, too, about the same research cost as Graviton Manipulation (1800 ).

Specific Automatons Improvement[]
