To build and operate defense systems and to construct accommodation, schools and hospitals, you can build profitable public production and collect taxes. They will send you building requests and you then decide, which private businesses are allowed. If you like, you can allow your colonists to become private business owners.

If you have skilled workforce in a factory, for example, it will produce more than a factory with less skilled workforce. The practical skills and knowledge of the workers and managers affects to how efficiently the work is done. If there are no jobs available and they have no cash, they will move away unless you provide them with appropriate benefit. As the colonists get older they then start working and establishing businesses and earning what they need for living. Young colonists can go to school (if you have one available) and then to college. The society model covers the whole life cycle of a colonist.

The fertile planet has attracted other settlers too and they don’t like that you are there exploiting the natural resources and occupying the ground. Things that need to be controlled are production and trade, society and tax model, employment of the colonists, harvesting of the natural resources and relations to the other colonies. As the ruler of the colony you decide which way the things go. Planet Colonization is a fascinating strategy game with focus on the functioning of the society, financial management and defending your colony against the other colonies. The game begins on this new world with initial settlement under your control. The planet has solid ground, water and natural resources.

In the distant space there is a habitable exoplanet.
