Industries are various wealth-producing and security assets on a market or colony. They were introduced alongside colonies in version 0.9.
The player can build industries on their colonies for credits. Each colony can build one industry for every population level after 3 with maximum of 4 at population level 6. Upkeep cost is multiplied by the market's hazard rating. Various military operations or other events can temporarily disrupt the function of industries.
Industrial output generally increases with the market's size. AI Cores can be installed to vary an industry's performance.
- Gamma: -1 Demands
- Beta: -1 Demands & -25% Upkeep
- Alpha: -1 Demands, -25% Upkeep, and unique Improvements
Improvements can also be done either by spending story points which is permanent which also include the bonus from gamma core. Both bonus from story point and alpha core stacks.
