Star Systems Improvements (Disharmony)

For Empire Improvements, see Empire Improvement.

Improvements can be made on any System to accentuate its naturally occurring values of FIDS , at the cost of Industry and/or Dust .

This page contains information on Star System Improvements in Endless Space: Disharmony. For information classic go to Star System Improvement.

Food Improvements

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Requires	Upkeep
Sustainable Farms	+1 per on Desert, Arctic, Arid, Tundra	80	-	-2
Epigenetic Crop Seeding	+2 per on Ocean, Jungle, Terran +1 per on Desert, Artic, Arid, Tundra	220	-	-3
Intensive Cultivation Logistics	+3 per on planet with Explored Moon	340	-	-5
Compact Refrigeration	+30% on Star System	800	Hyperium	-7
Wasteless Supply Chain	+2 per on Barren, Lava +1 per on Planets, Helium, Methane, Hydrogen, Asteroids	1440	Hyperium	-9

Specific Cravers Improvement

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep	Replaces
Intensive Cultivation Logistics	+3 on Explored Moon -50% Locust Points on Planet quality Default	340	-5	Intensive Cultivation Logistics

Specific Sowers Improvement

Specific Horatio Improvement

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep
Greenhouse Shields	+20 on Star System	500	-3

Note: 500 in return for a constant +20 is almost never worthwhile. Only useful in a start-up colony and in that case it takes 10+ turns to build and Farm Exploitation would give you a much better return. Or depending on the Planet types in the System, Sustainable Farms or Epigenetic Crop Seeding are both much cheaper with returns based on not a flat amount.

Specific Harmony Improvement

Improvement	Effect(s)	Production Cost	Upkeep	Replaces

Note: One of the best faction-specific Improvements, this gives you a flat +30 for a reasonable 500 . You get it fairly early, too, about the same research cost as Graviton Manipulation (1800 ).
