A colony is a basic therm for a group of [[buildings]] that are neither part of a [[city]] nor [[base]].

For example a tiny mining colony does not have to be a full city in order to do mining for other cities in a [[Solar_System|solar system]].

==Explanation==
[[Buildings]] can be built anywhere and are not required to be part of a [[city]] in order to function or attract population.

When buildings are part of a city or a [[base]], a lot of extra requirements and overhead is added to keep the population happy and alive. For example a city with a population of more than 45 will start to require [[Morale_Building|morale building]]s, which will take time and resources to construct.

==Advantages==
A colony...
* ... does not require [[Morale_Building|morale building]]s.
** Especially useful for tiny [[world]]s with tight volume limits.
* ... does not need [[food]] or [[air]] to keep population alive (needs confirmation).
* ... does not clutter the ''Cities and bases'' list.
* ... reduces the visible number of cities lists on the [[Star_Map|star map]].

==Disadvantages==
A colony...
* ... cannot have a [[capitol]] for easy management.
* ... cannot generate a [[City_Report|city report]].
* ... does not appear on the ''Cities and bases'' list, making it easy to forget.
* ... cannot have a [[bank]] to mint [[money]].
* ... cannot send [[shipment]]s.
* ... will not be able to show nearby reveal nearby cities on the [[Star_Map|star map]].

==Common Colony==
A colony normally need the following:

* A trade connection
** A [[road]] to a city
** A [[wharf]]
** An [[Airport_Terminal|airport terminal]]
* Operation buildings
** [[Mine]]s
** [[well]]s
** [[Refineries]]
* [[Power_Generation_Building|Power plant]]
* Enough [[home]]s to cover all jobs

The trade connection is critical to allow the colony to get population when in harsh environments and to allow other colonies and [[cities]] in the [[Solar_System|solar system]] to fetch [[commodities]] from the colony.

A [[Power_Generation_Building|power plant]] might not be required for the colony to work, but it allows the colony to be more efficient and work at night if it is a [[habitable]] environment. If a road connection can be established to a power plant elsewhere on the world, the colony will not need a dedicated power plant.
