== 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The Ground Force Training Facility has been replaced by the **Ground Force Construction Complex**.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). 
* Requires **250,000 workers** (VB6 required none).
 
== Conventional Industry ==
{{VersionIntro|1.0.0}}
 
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 ==
{{VersionChanged|1.10.0}}
 
When industrial allocation is below 100%, unused capacity is displayed separately for:
* Construction 
* Ordnance 
* Fighters
 
== Assign New Labs ==
{{VersionChanged|1.12.0}}
 
A new '''Assign New''' toggle has been added to the Research tab.
 
=== Mechanics ===
* 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 ==
{{VersionIntro|1.0.0}}
 
Workers are required only where workforce size meaningfully impacts infrastructure needs.

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

[edit]

Introduced in v1.0.0.

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