Description

What it is and why you need it

University — a building from the “Science” category in Xterium. Main effect — research speed bonus. Reduces research time. Works together with the Laboratory.

When to build

Available from day one.

What to watch out for

Energy. The building consumes energy. Without it the effect drops or stops entirely.

What improves production

Sources that boost this building. Open a source card to see the exact percentages and conditions.

Senators 1

The colony's permanent command staff. Each senator has a specialization and, once assigned, gives the colony a set of permanent bonuses that grow with their level.

Scientist Scientist — Senator for Science, Energy, and Expeditions.

Planet Anomalies 1

Planet features chosen and researched in the Planetarium (for dark matter or antimatter). Give a permanent percentage bonus to a specific effect for as long as the colony exists.

Ancients technologies Science Output in Technopolis: +100%
