Populous

Witness the evolution of your populous. Gone are the days of mindless laboring drones.

Planetary infrastructure projects are now available which improve the livelihood of workers. Governors can exercise their power to control the upkeep of these projects as populations grow and decline.

Build for thrills

How do you keep your workers happy and satisfied? Glad you asked. The answer is with Population Infrastructure Projects. Each project fulfills a particular need for your bustling laborers and will keep them in top condition for your ever-expanding exploration into the universe. Donate collectively as planetary colonists to upgrade each project as the economy expands.

Political Power

While upgrading your infrastructure project is extremely valuable for growing populations, problems can arise when the populous starts to shrink. That’s when the governor can step in and adjust the infrastructure levels as needed. As a result, the remaining population can keep up with the demands of each project.
