Colony nodes

Storage, energy, build times, research, scanners, raid colonies and asteroids: colony nodes strengthen your empire behind the scenes.

The colony category is the largest and most varied in the network. Most of its nodes sit in the economy branch and improve everything that keeps your planets running.

The building blocks

  • Storage: more space for single resources or for all of them – important if your storage would otherwise fill up overnight.
  • Energy: more output from Fusion plant, Thermosolar plant and Solar cells, plus lower Spice consumption for thermo plants.
  • Temperature: with the Thermo-Synth nodes you make your planets warmer or colder in the economy view. Colder means more Spice, warmer means more energy from your Solar cells.
  • Building & research: shorter building times, a daily cut to your running research and improvements for the Supercomputer (Super Computer).
  • Scanners: more range for your Galaxy scanner and an ultimate node with an extra scanner slot (Galaxy scan).
  • Raid colonies: more flight slots, shorter build times and a weekly warp (Specialization).
  • Asteroids: a higher asteroid chance, a resource warp to your asteroid without a Teleporter and a Research lab on asteroids.

Who benefits?

Builders and miners get storage, energy and build time here. Researchers benefit from the research and Supercomputer nodes. Raiders and asteroid collectors find powerful ultimate nodes at the end of the economy branch: the raid colony warp, the scanner slot, the asteroid lab and a cooling node that starts straight at orange. The asteroid resource warp, however, sits in the fleet branch.

Increase planet temperature by X3× in the network

Lets you make your planets warmer in the economy view (Thermo-Synth). Warmer planets get more energy from your Solar cells – good for power-hungry empires.
