| {{:outpost_1:agricultural_dome.png?nolink |}}The Agricultural Dome is your food source. New research discoveries can enhance food production, but your main concern will be to keep your domes functioning to provide enough food for the current size of your population. The presence of a dome also increases morale, since the colonists can see that they aren`t going to starve. | {{:outpost_1:agricultural_dome.png?nolink |}}The Agricultural Dome is your food source.

| ==== Command Center ==== | ==== Command Center ==== |
| {{:outpost_1:command_center.png?nolink |}}The Command Center is a self-contained structure which serves as the core of any colony. While the first one is built by the Seed Factory to provide a safe workshed and temporary living structure while the first colony is being built, new ones can be placed by you to create independent new colonies. Since Command areas can`t overlap, you will be warned if you attempt to place a Command structure too close to an existing Command tile (as a general rule, a new one can`t be within a 30 tile radius of an existing Command structure). Although the Command tile has its own battery power supply, it`s a good idea to start mining operations in the area first, then bulldoze the location for your Command tile. After the new Command structure is built, a CHAP Facility will soon be needed to provide life support for the Command structure and your other new buildings that will follow. The Command tile also houses the Engineering team, which can repair structures that are broken or due to break. | {{:outpost_1:command_center.png?nolink |}}The Command Center is a self-contained structure which serves as the core of any colony.

| {{:outpost_1:mass_driver.png?nolink |}}The Mass Driver is an electromagnetic rail gun designed to launch payloads into orbit where they`re caught by a big net. Resources are the most common payload, making it easier to build large spacecraft in orbit without having to run freighters back and forth with smaller loads. | {{:outpost_1:mass_driver.png?nolink |}}The Mass Driver is an electromagnetic rail gun designed to launch payloads into orbit where they're caught by a big net.

| {{:outpost_1:mine.png?nolink |}}Once a robominer has dug at least one level of a mine, the top of the mine shaft appears on the surface to mark the mine`s location. It`s important to be aware of mine and colony locations, both on the surface and underground, since it is possible for a robominer to dig its way down into an active subterranean level of your colony, which has unfortunate side effects. Mined ore is stored at the surface until a monorail or trucks arrive to pick up the load for transport to the Smelter. | {{:outpost_1:mine.png?nolink |}}Once a robominer has dug at least one level of a mine, the top of the mine shaft appears on the surface to mark the mine's location.

| {{:outpost_1:police.png?nolink |}}When a Police station is placed on the map, you can choose the attitude which you`d like your human or robot police to use on the local population. "Benevolent" police reduce the Crime level by half in a radius of 5 tiles surrounding the Police station, while improving Morale by one point per turn. "Hostile" police reduce the Crime level to zero in a radius of 5 tiles, but Morale is also reduced by one point per turn. | {{:outpost_1:police.png?nolink |}}When a Police station is placed on the map, you can choose the attitude which you'd like your human or robot police to use on the local population.

If a robot`s fuel cell fails in the field, Robot Command will receive an alert so that a repairbot can be dispatched to make repairs. All robot control functions are handled from this location, working closely with the Communication Tower signal relays. | {{:outpost_1:robot_command.png?nolink |}}Robot Command is your centralized robot control facility which issues orders and maintains contact with your explorers, miners, repairbots, and other wandering robots.

| {{:outpost_1:spew_facility.png?nolink |}}The Sewage Processing and Environmental Waste Facility (SPEW) is the recycling center for your colony. Sewage and recyclables are shipped to the SPEW on a regular basis for processing into a very useful resource known as Multi-Purpose Goo (MPG). Bulldozed structures are also shipped to the SPEW so that their valuable materials can be reclaimed. It`s a good idea to build one of these early in your colony`s development to make up for the lack of any local resources that might be limiting your building program. The colonists are aware of the importance of recycling, so their Morale also improves when you build a SPEW. | {{:outpost_1:spew_facility.png?nolink |}}The Sewage Processing and Environmental Waste Facility (SPEW) is the recycling center for your colony.

| {{:outpost_1:red_light_district.png?nolink |}}The Red Light District (RLD) has its advantages and disadvantages. It`s an unusual structure, because you can place it on the map yourself, but it can also be spontaneously generated due to a high Crime level. Although the RLD improves Morale and the Birth Rate, it also draws two units of Luxury items per turn, drawn directly from storage whether or not a Commerical structure exists, for maintaining operation. If the Crime level remains high, more and more of your Residential units will turn into RLDs. The only way to control the spread of RLDs is to lower your Luxury production or lower your Crime level by adding Police stations to your colony near the RLDs. | {{:outpost_1:red_light_district.png?nolink |}}The Red Light District (RLD) has its advantages and disadvantages.

During the arrival phase, your colonists live in the crowded conditions of the Command tile that was built by your Seed Factory, but this is only an interim measure until the Residential units are built underground. Since it`s also dangerous living on the surface, Morale will start dropping soon after you land. It`s best if you have less than 25 people living in each Residential unit, since this will improve their Morale. The legal occupancy limit is 25, so if you cram more than 25 people into a Residential unit, the Crime level will start rising and Morale will start dropping. | {{:outpost_1:residential.png?nolink |}}Residential units are necessary to house your population in comfort as soon as possible.
