Welcome to the biggest Idle Terra update so far!\nVersion 1.2.0 The Colony introduces an expanded life-simulation system, a deeper economy, brand-new colony districts, and a redesigned approach to developing your base. Your settlement is no longer just an industrial outpost its now a living colony.

New Colony Stat System

A full set of new colony parameters has been added:

Core Stats:

• Population

  [/*]

• Health

  [/*]

• Entertainment

  [/*]

• Justice

  [/*]

• Ecology

  [/*]

• Science

  [/*]

• Commerce

  [/*]

Derived Stats:

• Morale

  [/*]

• Corruption

  [/*]

• Taxes

  [/*]

Every building now affects these stats in one way or another, creating deeper and more meaningful strategic decisions.

Population Growth\nPopulation growth now depends on Morale and overall living conditions.

• Up to ~500 colonists, growth is relatively stable.

  [/*]

• Beyond that, youll need to significantly improve comfort, infrastructure, and ecological conditions to attract new residents.

  [/*]

Your colony is now a living ecosystem that reacts to your management.

Colony Mode and 9 New District Buildings

The Plateau area can now be switched between:

• Plateau (Industrial)

  [/*]

• Plateau (Colony)

  [/*]

In Colony Mode, you can construct nine new district buildings:

• Residential Blocks

  [/*]

• Living Districts

  [/*]

• Green Quarters

  [/*]

• Commerce Quarters

  [/*]

• Leisure Districts

  [/*]

• Medical Quarters

  [/*]

• Research Districts

  [/*]

• Security Sectors

  [/*]

• Park Sectors

  [/*]

These buildings do not produce resources, but they provide significant boosts to Health, Entertainment, Justice, Ecology, Science, and Commerce.

They require substantial investment, but offer strong long-term rewards through higher taxes, improved population growth, and a stronger economy.

(Balance will continue to evolve but the core system is now established.)
