List of colony bonuses and other important information

from Offworld Forums

I absolutely love this game and I am taking getting better at it seriously. I think my biggest issue is that I don't know the intricacies of the game. Is there a list somewhere as to what colonies have what bonuses, how much power and fuel buildings use, etc. It's really hard to come up with a solid strategy without knowing these items.

Keep in mind that when you play a single-player skirmish, the game starts paused (or you can just pause it yourself at any time) so take some time to read all the popup help which includes this info.

Colony bonuses are on a blog post by Soren somewhere.

I remember hearing that scavengers have some kind of power bonus in a video but I'm not sure what it is. I know some colonies get things cheaper... this is all so important to know to form a good strategy and then obviously you have to tactically work around the dynamic markets. When you hover your mouse over a colony does this info pop up? If not maybe it should.

Scavengers don't have any power bonus. Don't confuse strategy with fundamentals.

There's a "colony adjacency bonus" in campaign which I think hardly anyone knows about. It does very little though.

Strategy would be an overall idea of how to handle your business. Tactics would be the day to day operations within. Knowing this info is important for forming a strategy.

I did find the rules on Mohawk games' website. Soren have you considered a black market option to counter pirates considering that there are none and they take a certain number of resources' and there is no defending against them. They seem like a very overpowered bm especially if your opponent puts something valuable away from his ha.

Indczn posted a pretty extensive spreadsheet some time ago.

I'm not sure if he keeps it up to date, but in any case it's better than nothing. 

I haven't updated it in several months. I'll add it to my to do list, but I can't say when I'll get a chance to.

 

The scavenger power bonus refers to scavengers using much less power by not requiring steel mills.
