Tech Institute

From PlanetsWiki

[edit] Overview

The University Alliance is a collection of intellectuals. Those intellectuals enjoy getting together in a location that will help them to focus, collaborate, and develop. Technological Institutes are universities, colleges, libraries, and the like that these people congregate to. The inhabitants enjoy books of all sorts and will employ the use of stimulants to keep them awake for hours to continue their research. Intellectual natives (Ghipsoldals and Humanoids) enjoy the atmosphere of these places as well.

• This ground base building of the University Alliance can generate some contraband (and thus money).
• The building also sends 300 gc to your galactic bank each turn per institute if there are at least 100,000 colonists per institute present.

[edit] Contraband Generation

• New Illegal Books are brought in based on the number of colonists at the ground base and their happiness level. 1 new book is brought in for every 100,000 colonists. (You don't need to have more of 150 of happiness to get books from colonist. I did a script with less than 150 of happiness and I got 25 books - Gandalf). Up to 100 new books can be brought in by colonist in this manner. This can be expressed as:

new books = colonists / 100,000 * happiness / 300.  

In addition, any existing books will accentuate the number of new books brought in by 10% of their number. The maximun production is 1000 new Books each turn. You can get this with 9,150 Books and 50,000,000 colonist, and you can sell the new 1,000 books each turn. This can be expressed as:

new books = existing books / 10.  

The amount of books that can be stored at a ground base is 1 million.

• New Stim-Bright Pills are generated at a rate of 1 kt of pills per 100,000 colonists until a maximun of 100 pills in this manner. The number of Illegal Books present increase the number of pills by 1 pill per 100 books. The new pills will be calculated with the new amount of books of this turn. With 9,150 Books and 50,000,000 colonist you get 202 pills and with 100,000 Books and 50,000,000 colonist you get only 1110 pills. I recommend store only 10,000 Books in each full colonist base and sell all new books (or use them in another base with less than 10,000 books) and sell all new pills. The amount of pills that can be stored at a ground base is 1 million.

[edit] Increase of Happiness

• Happiness of Colonists increases by the number of institutes present at the ground base.
• Happiness of Ghipsoldals increases by 8 plus double the number of institutes present.
• Happiness of Humanoids increases by 5 plus the number of institutes present.

[edit] Notes

• The contraband generated is independent from the number of Tech Institutes (i.e. the same contra is produced both 1 Tech Institute and 5 Tech Institutes).
• The Tech Institute send 300 GC to the Galactic Bank the same turn it is build.
• The Income from the Tech Institutes is not shown at Tech or Exotic Tech screens of the (Central Command) HQ.
