Colony Income = Total Population × Development Level
Thus to maximize revenue you must maximize both the population and development of each colony.
Fast population growth and high colony development level are both achieved via the same methods:
· Keep taxes at a reasonable level
· Ensure a good supply of luxury resources
Luxury resources are consumed by colonies. Having access to many luxury resources raises a colony’s development level, producing more income.
Each luxury resource at a colony raises the development level by approximately 10%, thus when a colony has consistent access to 10 luxury resources its development level will slowly rise to 100%.
也就是说,在探索星球的时候看见奢侈品,就一定要抢下来,这对于提高星球发展等级有莫大的帮助,看见珍惜奢侈品更是不能放过。
明白了这点后,就不能太过于放心建造船的自动控制了。手动控制最好,中后期再放开。
You should plan your needs carefully when purchasing new ships.
The purchase and maintenance costs for ships and bases are both largely determined by the current price for the resources required to build the ship or base.
Ship Costs = Resources Required × Current Resource Prices
下面再说明一下经济的其它方面
在Colony Taxes中指出随着人口的增加,会产生大量的贪污费用
Once your colony reaches a size of one billion citizens an unavoidable level of corruption will also begin, further reducing how much tax you collect from the colony. Some types of government can reduce this corruption and tax evasion.
而且人口增加对于奢侈品的需求也会增加,这样会抬高奢侈品价格。别以为奢侈品价格不进入维护费就认为这没有什么关系,奢侈品数量少了,难以满足广大人民群众的需求,税收也跟着提不上去了……
