Income sim

Empire

Race modifier reference

Race Sets economic modifiers + valid planet types

Turns this cycle How many turns to batch

Research levels (empire-wide)

Housing +1 cap multiplier/level

Commercial +8% CG, +10% empire

Industry +10% per level

Agriculture +10% per level

Mining +10% ore, +40% min/lvl

Market conditions

CGs available on market Pop can buy CGs from market Off → pop only eats CGs you produced

Food market price 0 = ignore food market

CG market price 0 = ignore CG market

Mineral market price 0 = mining produces no income

Add a colony

Planet type Filtered to what your race can use

Planets in colony 1 / 5 / 25 / 125 for C0–C3 · Viral/Collective natives 1 / 4 / 16 / 64 / 256

Loyalty ×(1 + loyalty/5,000) on tax

Population override Per-colony only — blank = housing × (10+Hr), ×2 for Collective

Housing Leave 0 to auto-staff

Commercial CG (consumes 2 RM/turn each)

Industry CG (consumes 1 RM/turn each)

Agriculture Food + raw materials

Mining Ore + minerals

Income mix

Check income types and set a % target for each. Optimizer tunes empire-wide research + per-colony land to hit the split while maximizing total income. Empire-level target — individual colonies may specialize toward what their planet does best (e.g. agri on a Forest, commercial on a Marshy).

Formula reference

Planet type Display only — math uses land + planets

Planets in colony 200,000 cr per planet (before race mod)

Total land Sum of land across all planets in cluster

Population Blank = housing × (10 + Hr), ×2 for Collective. 2,500 cr per pop.

Infrastructure scales quadratically in the formula — a fully-built C3 plunders for vastly more than a sparse one.
