Planetary management

Districts represent large areas of development on the planet dedicated towards a particular purpose, whether that be housing or resource gathering. The total number of districts that can be built on a planet is equal to the planet size. The number of mining, generator and agriculture districts is further constrained by the deposits on the planet.

Each district contributes to the Empire Sprawl (with one district being equivalent to one system), which can increase costs such as, but not limited to Research and Unity if above the Administrative Capacity, but since districts provide more raw resources than average systems, it should not be a strong limitation.

Unlike buildings, districts will be retained in case of planetary depopulation.

Planetary districtsEdit

Each normal planet can support four different types of districts: a housing district and three different resource districts.

HousingEdit

A housing district mainly provides housing for Pops living on the planetary surface. The maximum number of housing districts that can be built per planet is equivalent to its planetary size.

Nexus District	Maintenance Drone: +1 Tech-Drone: +1	5	Machine Intelligence	Centralized districts where drones are serviced and repaired before they are deployed to their work assignments.

ResourceEdit

A resource district provides some additional housing, and creates jobs that generate energy, minerals, or food resources. The number of resource districts that can be built varies on the planetary tiles that generate the specific resource type, except on Hive Worlds, Machine Worlds and Ringworlds. Resource districts do not generate resources per se, but rather the jobs that the district provides are the source of the resources.

Mining District	Miner: +2	Mining Drone: +3	Mining Drone: +2	Ring World	These mining towns and resource extraction centers drill deep into the mantle to access mineral deposits.
Agriculture District	Farmer: +2	Agri-Drone: +3	Agri-Drone: +2	Machine World	Land set aside for cultivation, either through the growing of crops or animal husbandry.

Arcology districtsEdit

Ecumenopolis worlds have their own set of districts called Arcologies. They provide a far larger amount of housing and jobs than planet districts but cannot produce basic resources. They can be obtained either by conquering the homeworld of the Keepers of Knowledge fallen empire, finishing The First League precursor event chain and colonizing their homeworld. Gestalt Consciousness and Agrarian Idyll empires cannot create Ecumenopolis worlds themselves but can use conquered ones.
