A city placed in a harsh environment, such as on an airless moon or underwater, will require environmental enclosures for all buildings.
The first harsh environment colony is most often on a moon in order to mine eludium and possibly lumenite, which is used to manufacture starships.
Penalties and Restrictions
Harsh environment brings with it a number of penalties and special restrictions.
City Effects
All cities located in a harsh environment have the following permanent effects or requirements:
- City will have a permanent "-1 Harsh Environment Penalty" morale penalty.
- There will be no automatic citizens immigration without a trade connection, such as an airport terminal.
- Citizens only immigrate at half the normal rate.
- Birth rate is not affected.
- Citizens will require air as a commodity in the city store to breathe.
- Air shortage will result in a proportional morale penalty and/or deaths.
- City will require electricity at all times.
- Electricity shortage will result in "Powerless in harsh environment" morale penalty and possible decay.
- Citizens will start labor jobs regardless of day/night cycle, or presence of electricity in the city.
Underwater cities have a few extra effects along with the normal ones listed above:
- WIP, see patch notes below
Life Support Requirements
To build a building in a harsh environment, the building blueprint will require to be specifically designed for that environment.
The construction materials required are entirely dependent on the building blueprint.
Biodomes
A biodome protects against the harsh environment, all buildings constructed inside a biodome won't require any life support. So normal habitable world building blueprints can be used inside a biodome.
