== Removal of Low Gravity Infrastructure ==
{{VersionChanged|2.6.0}}
 
Low gravity infrastructure has been removed from the game. 
Populations living on bodies with gravity below their species minimum now require '''twice as much infrastructure''' as an equivalent colony cost world with tolerable gravity. 
Low‑gravity bodies still have a '''minimum colony cost of 1'''.
 
This reduces micromanagement for players, NPRs, and civilians while preserving the intended difficulty of low‑gravity environments.
 
== Forced Labour Camps ==
{{VersionIntro|1.0.0}}
 
Forced Labour ground units have been removed and replaced with two new installations:
 
* '''Forced Labour Construction Camp''' 
* '''Forced Labour Mining Camp'''
 
Each costs '''40 BP''', provides the same output as a Construction Factory or Mine, and requires '''100,000 cargo points''' (4× a Construction Factory).
 
=== Mechanics ===
* Can be built at any population. 
* Consumes '''100,000 population''' on creation. 
* Causes '''5 unrest''' immediately. 
* Requires '''5,000 population''' to operate (overseers). 
* Workers + survival infrastructure are included in the installation. 
* Affected by all production modifiers (radiation, unrest, political status, etc.). 
* Can be transported and deployed on hostile worlds with minimal infrastructure.
 
=== Strategic Notes ===
* Useful for making conquered populations productive quickly. 
* Three camps can offset occupation penalties for the cost of one factory/mine. 
* Can boost production on your own colonies at the cost of unrest. 
* Can be built in occupied worlds and shipped elsewhere. 
* Large transport size and population loss are major drawbacks.
 
== Ground Forces Construction Complex ==
{{VersionIntro|1.0.0}}
 
The Ground Force Training Facility has been replaced by the '''Ground Force Construction Complex'''.
 
=== Mechanics ===
* Same size as a Research Facility. 
* Requires '''1,000,000 population''' to operate. 
* Base build rate: '''250 BP/year'''. 
* Research upgrades: 
'''500 BP/year''' → 8,000 RP 
'''1000 BP/year''' → 60,000 RP 
 
Reflects the increased effort required to construct, train, and support new ground forces.
 
== Genetic Modification Centre ==
{{VersionIntro|1.0.0}}
 
* Produces '''1,000,000 conversions per year''' (up from 250k in VB6).

Planetary Installations

[edit]

Removal of Low Gravity Infrastructure

[edit]

Changed in v2.6.0.

Low gravity infrastructure has been removed from the game. Populations living on bodies with gravity below their species minimum now require twice as much infrastructure as an equivalent colony cost world with tolerable gravity. Low‑gravity bodies still have a minimum colony cost of 1.

This reduces micromanagement for players, NPRs, and civilians while preserving the intended difficulty of low‑gravity environments.

Forced Labour Camps

[edit]

Introduced in v1.0.0.

Forced Labour ground units have been removed and replaced with two new installations:

  • Forced Labour Construction Camp
  • Forced Labour Mining Camp

Each costs 40 BP, provides the same output as a Construction Factory or Mine, and requires 100,000 cargo points (4× a Construction Factory).

Mechanics

[edit]
  • Can be built at any population.
  • Consumes 100,000 population on creation.
  • Causes 5 unrest immediately.
  • Requires 5,000 population to operate (overseers).
  • Workers + survival infrastructure are included in the installation.
  • Affected by all production modifiers (radiation, unrest, political status, etc.).
  • Can be transported and deployed on hostile worlds with minimal infrastructure.

Strategic Notes

[edit]
  • Useful for making conquered populations productive quickly.
  • Three camps can offset occupation penalties for the cost of one factory/mine.
  • Can boost production on your own colonies at the cost of unrest.
  • Can be built in occupied worlds and shipped elsewhere.
  • Large transport size and population loss are major drawbacks.

Ground Forces Construction Complex

[edit]

Introduced in v1.0.0.

The Ground Force Training Facility has been replaced by the Ground Force Construction Complex.

Mechanics

[edit]
  • Same size as a Research Facility.
  • Requires 1,000,000 population to operate.
  • Base build rate: 250 BP/year.
  • Research upgrades:

500 BP/year → 8,000 RP 1000 BP/year → 60,000 RP

Reflects the increased effort required to construct, train, and support new ground forces.

Genetic Modification Centre

[edit]

Introduced in v1.0.0.

  • Produces 1,000,000 conversions per year (up from 250k in VB6).
  • Requires 250,000 workers (VB6 required none).

Conventional Industry

[edit]

Introduced in v1.0.0.

VB6 output:

  • 0.1 Construction Factories
  • 0.05 Refineries
  • 0.1 Mines

C# Aurora output:

  • 0.1 Construction Factories
  • 0.05 Ordnance Factories
  • 0.025 Fighter Factories
  • 0.05 Refineries
  • 0.1 Financial Centres
  • 0.15 Mines

Unused Construction Capacity

[edit]

Changed in v1.10.0.

When industrial allocation is below 100%, unused capacity is displayed separately for:

  • Construction
  • Ordnance
  • Fighters

Assign New Labs

[edit]

Changed in v1.12.0.

A new Assign New toggle has been added to the Research tab.

Mechanics

[edit]
  • Projects marked with (N) automatically receive new labs.
  • Labs are assigned in descending order of existing facilities.
  • When labs are removed, projects without (N) lose labs first.
  • You may toggle (N) on maxed projects to protect them from losing labs.

Worker Requirements

Workers are required only where workforce size meaningfully impacts infrastructure needs.

Spacemaster Changes

[edit]

Introduced in v1.0.0.

Spacemaster Mode adds new controls in the Civilian Economy tab:

  • Dropdown to modify installation counts
  • Buttons to add/remove installation types

Replaces part of the VB6 SM Modification window.
