Description:
Introduction

This MOD adds two sets of simple planetary resolutions to Gaia planets, focusing on resource production and research/unity production respectively. These resolutions are also available for Hive Worlds, Machine Worlds, and Ringworld segments. Additionally, they slightly increase population growth rates for Gaia, Hive, and Machine Worlds.

Resource Development

The Resource Development Project can be implemented on Gaia, Hive, and Machine Worlds, granting a series of powerful resource output modifiers to the planet.
After executing this resolution:

  • Gaia’s district cap will no longer be restricted by planetary features;
  • Gaia will unlock 12 building slots;
  • The number of jobs provided by the industrial district will double;
  • Production jobs will yield more resources.

Further resolutions will yield additional effects:

  1. Development of Natural Resources: Increases base output for mining, technicians, and agriculture jobs.
  2. Strengthening Industrial Production: Increases base output for metallurgists and artisans jobs.
  3. Surveying Strategic Resources: Provides one job each for gathering three strategic resources, with an additional set of jobs provided every 20 population.

Elysian Land

(available for non-Hive Mind empires and Rogue Servitor nations)
Additionally, the Elysian Land Plan can be implemented on Gaia planets and Ringworld segments. After executing this resolution, it will unlock special Eden Districts but prevent the construction of industrial districts.

The Eden Districts provided by Elysian Land focus on producing research points and unity, including 3 Resources districts, Commercial, Entertainment,Research, and Cultural districts.

Elysian Land has effects equivalent to resort worlds. In addition to the exclusive Resort Attendant jobs provided by resort worlds, it also offers a series of special jobs:

  • Elysian Manager: Produces unity and increases the maximum district limit.
  • Elysian Caretaker: Exclusive to Rogue Servitors, replaces Park Manager; also produces research points.
  • Elysian Researcher: Produces unity and research points.
  • Elysian Trader: Produces unity and trade volume, and increase planetary trade volume by 2%.
  • Elysian Entertainer: Produces unity and a lot of comfort.
  • Energy Gatherer: Produces fewer energy credits but also produces physics research points and unity.
  • Resource Recycler: Produces fewer minerals but also produces engineering research points and unity.
  • Farming Artist: Produces fewer food but also produces society research points and unity.

For Rogue Servitor nations, bio-trophies can work as energy technicians, resource miners, and agrarian artists, producing more unity.

Further resolutions will unlock additional effects:

  1. Environmental Optimization: Increases research points and unity production for mining, technicians, and agriculture jobs.
  2. Climate Control: Increases base output for research jobs.
  3. Terrain Sculpting: Increases base output for unity jobs/adds output for bio-trophies (Rogue Servitors).
Other Changes

Planetary Trait Modifications:

  • Gaia: Population growth rate increased by 20%, population assembly speed increased by 20%
  • Hive: Population assembly speed increased by 50%
  • Machine: Population assembly speed increased by 50%

Aquatic and Idyllic Bloom:

  • Species with the aquatic trait will receive bonuses on Gaia and Ringworlds.
  • Related buildings and traits of Idyllic Bloom can now be used on Ringworlds.
