Welcome to Populous
Witness the evolution of your populous. Gone are the days of mindless laboring drones. A new order has been passed so that a planet’s population is distributed among each base according to their production needs. Planetary infrastructure projects are now available which improve the livelihood of workers. Governors can exercise their power to control the upkeep of these projects as populations grow and decline.

Placating the Populous
Your new workforce has arrived at your base. It is up to you whether they prosper in their new positions or sink into a crippling depression. Make sure to keep your workforce happy and motivated to increase production output and watch your base flourish. Keep your eyes peeled for the Population Report that is generated every 7 days for updates.
Build for Thrills
How do you keep your workers happy and satisfied? Glad you asked. The answer is with Population Infrastructure Projects. Each project fulfills a particular need for your bustling laborers and will keep them in top condition for your ever-expanding exploration into the universe. Donate collectively as planetary colonists to upgrade each project as the economy expands.
Political Power
While upgrading your infrastructure project is extremely valuable for growing populations, problems can arise when the populous starts to shrink. That’s when the governor can step in and adjust the infrastructure levels as needed. As a result, the remaining population can keep up with the demands of each project.
