Planet Maintenances happen every hour at **:15. All buildings, colonist reproduction and other planet wide features are handled here.

If your planet is setup correctly you will be able to produce shields and fighters as well as other resources to replenish your planet.

3 Report Options are available:

• 1: Send a report only on negative (loss of Colonists) activity.
• 2: Send a report always (every hour)
• 3: Send a report never

Your Report Option can be changed in your Player Options Page. (A link on the left side of the screen) and altering the planet_report value.

When you first dock on your planet (or any planet) you are presented with the Drydock section.

This page shows all other ships docked on planet as well as resources, cash and tech that are available to take / place on the planet.

If you are the owner of the planet or if the owner has allowed Clan Members to build on the planet you can view this page.

This page lists all Production Buildings and Defensive Turrets available to build.

All Production Buildings require 1000 Colonists each to function properly. Defensive Turrets do not require any colonists. If a building has less than 1000 Colonists it will show less than 100% efficiency below the building name. The efficiency of a building greatly impacts production so it is wise to keep these values at 100%.

If you want your planet to grow your colonists need a few things to help them reproduce or immigrate.

1. Colonist Housing:

• Your colonists require housing to live, you can build Colonist Housing on your Defence & Buildings page.
• Each Colonist Housing building can house up to 1,000,000 Colonists
• Colonists will reproduce over this limit and become homeless.
• A large percentage of homeless colonists will die off on each Planet Maintenance.
• Colonist Housing Buildings require credits and resources to build. You can find out how much exactly by viewing the Defence & Buildings section on your planet.

2. Colonist Reproduction & Tax Rate

• The amount your colonists reproduce is directly affected by your planets Tax Rate.
• You can change your Tax Rate on the Owner Options page.
• The amount of Tax you generate per hour is (Total # of Cols) * (Tax Rate Percentage).
• Taxes collected are stored on the planet for you to retrieve.
• At 12% Tax your colonists will not reproduce. Above that you will lose colonists per hour, below that you will gain colonists.

If you wish your planet to produce Tech Points you should build a research facility.

• Your colonists have to eat. They can produce organics for themselves using Organics Farms.
• Each Organics Farm will produce up to 1000 organics per hour and requires no additional resources to produce organics once built.
• Each 1000 colonists require only 1 organic per hour to survive.
• If your colonists do not have sufficient Organics on a Planet Maintenance a large percentage of the starving colonists will die.
• The amount of organics generated per hour can be found on the Defence & Buildings section.
• To easily see how many organics your colonists require on each Hourly Maintenance divide your total number of colonists by 1000. (Example 5,000,000 Colonists / 1000 = 5000 Organics Needed).
• To easily see how many Organics Farms you should have divide the number of Organics Needed by 1000. (Example: 5000 organics needed / 1000 = 5 Farms Needed)

• Your colonists can mine metal each hour for sale or planet use.
• The amount of Metal Generated per hour can be found on the Defence & Buildings section.

• Your colonists can harvest / refine Fuel each hour for sale or planet use.
• The amount of Fuel Refined per hour can be found on the Defence & Buildings section.

• Your colonists can create Electronics each hour for sale or planet use.
• Creating Electronics also requires Fuel and Metal.
• The amount of Metal Generated per hour and other resources required can be found on the Defence & Buildings section.

• Along with the Shield Generator this is your primary defence against an attack.
• Fighter Hangars not only provide storage but they will produce Fighters each hour up to capacity.
• Fighter Hangars require Electronics, Fuel and Metal to produce Fighters each hour.
• The maximum amount of Fighters Generated each hour and other resources required can be found on the Defence & Buildings section.

• The Shield Generator can store up to 1000 Shields per Generator built.
• While Colonists are required to help this function properly, no hourly resources are taken to maintain this.
• Your Shield Capacity and Current Battery Charges can be found on the Defence & Buildings section.

• Shield Batteries will increase your Shield Charges each hour.
• They will charge up to the maximum Shield Capacity (Shield Generator Capacity).
• Shield Batteries require no resources hourly to fill your shields, making them the most inexpensive of all buildings to use.
• The maximum amount of Shields Generated each hour can be found on the Defence & Buildings Section.

• Planetary Weapons are your Secondary defence against any attackers.
• You can build as many of these as you can afford (However cost does raise after each is built).
• The firing order on these can be changed as well. The order they are shown is the order they will fire.
• During a raid the attacker attempts to destroy all shields or fighters. Planetary weapons help to eliminate their ships before they are able to.
• Planetary Weapons will not fire if your planet has no shields or fighters. A planet with no shields or fighters is considered defenceless and may be claimed by another player.
