EFFICIENCY LOSSES FOR LACK OF HOUSING

by Hazed

The efficiency losses that occur when you don't build the required housing estate builds have now been turned on.

Resource planets need to build at least three housing estates in order to house the low-paid workers that keep the economy running. These projects are very basic and have few amenities, but they do provide a roof over the head of those who would otherwise be living on the street - perhaps bedding down in dumpsters, like that very smelly tramp on Earth.

The homeless do not make good workers, so if you don't give your workforce somewhere to live then the efficiency of your economy is going to suffer. For every housing estate below the minimum required, the efficiency will drop by 5%.
