Hi guys,


Aren't Cerebral reality and Drone networks, improvements that i should build at every planet?


The upkeep doesn't seem correct to me. It's sapping my income, in my opinion.

I don't see how that'd be possible. The Drone Networks give you +5 Food and +5 Industry, while the Cerebral Reality gives you +10 Dust and +10 Science. Both of these cost 2 Dust each to maintain. These two improvements together give you:


+5 Food

+5 Industry
+6 Dust

+10 Science


Seems like a good deal! I'd put them down in every system in times of peace, especially considering these two improvements do not get any better based on specific planet types.


One thing you might want to consider is that every colony has a "Base" structure built into it that gives the Colony a healthy dose of Food and Industry and some Influence, but at a 20 Dust maintenance cost. This is why your early colonies are a bit of a drain on Dust to maintain, but with the aforementioned improvements and a couple of Dust-heavy planets, you can balance it all out quite easily!

Yes, it's kind of the Colonial Rights or Planetary Institute improvements in ES1 : no-brainers.
