Biology and Genetics
Biology and Genetics covers all biological sciences in Aurora 4X, including terraforming, environmental tolerance, genetic modification, colony cost reduction, and biological enhancements. These technologies improve long‑term habitability, population growth, and the ability to engineer new species.
Colonization Cost Reduction
Reduces the colony cost of planets or moons by a percentage, improving habitability and reducing infrastructure requirements.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Effect Multiplier | 0.95 | 0.90 | 0.85 | 0.80 | 0.75 | 0.70 | 0.65 | 0.60 | 0.50 |
| RP Cost | 5,000 | 10,000 | 20,000 | 40,000 | 80,000 | 150,000 | 300,000 | 600,000 | 1,200,000 |
Genetic Conversion Rate
Determines how quickly population can be genetically modified into a new species (in millions per year).
| Rate (millions/year) | 0.5 | 0.64 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 1.25 | 2.0 | 2.5 | 3.2 | 4.0 | 5.0 |
