President Pearson Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 A moon colony stores 6% of your current citizen count. What does that do exactly? Does it add 6% more people to your nation? Do you collect more taxes etc? Or does it just move 6% of your citizens and it just reduces the amount of people per mile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 It adds people to your count and lets you collect more taxes and build more improvements as a result. They are also incapable of being destroyed, making them handy if you get ZI'ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another colony question: When it gives you the option to move the colony for like $400,000 or something, it reset my citizen count to 6% of my population when i put it on the hotspot. What is the point of paying $4,000,000 for it to automatically adjust it to your current 6%, when you could pick it up and plop it in the same spot again for only $400,000? What am i missing here?

thedestro Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 no you can move it and the whatever amount of citizens stored will remain the same. The # of citizens changed will only change if you pick the other option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What you're missing is citizen count is affected by how close your base is located to the hotspot. So when you move it, it's not actually resetting your citizen count, it's only adjusting your count based on it's efficiency percentage. So let's say you buy the colony and 6% is equal to 10,000 citizens, you only get the full 10,000 when your colony's efficiency is 100%. Otherwise it reflects whatever the percentage is. So after a hotspot reset it might be at 50% and would only show 5000 citizens. Moving the colony can get it back to 10,000 if it's at 100%. It may look like a reset since the number of citizens changes but it's still working off the same count established when it was bought or last reset.

President Pearson Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Ohhh i understand now. When i first bought it i moved it on May 1st it only recalculated from 50% to 100%. It's not actually adding 6% to what i currently have. So I could buy 500 infra and i wouldnt gain any more citizens from the moon colony unless i upgraded it to the current population.
