Setting up a planetary colony: Difference between revisions

If you are building a manufacturing-only colony, then you need processors, and a way of getting things down to the planetary surface. You can put the colony in a small area, anywhere on your chosen colony.

If you are building a resource extraction colony, the need resource extractors, and a way to get things up from the planetary surface. Resource nodes need to be sited on deposits of the resource you want to extract, but if you want to extract more than one resource, you need to decide whether to compromise on your output of one to get a good extraction on another and keep them close to each other, saving on link costs, or to put each group on the best deposit of both, and spend the link costs which could cost your ~~you~~ ability to install one or two extractors or a processor.

Your command centre provides power and CPU to your entire colony. This is the limit to how many Planetary Interaction Nodes you can put in a colony. Everything takes a certain amount of CPU and PG (power grid), and the links between them take up some also.
