Usage
develop | develop specialize | develop [confirm] | develop rally [confirm] Develop is how an empire builds up a district it owns. Only the clan leader or
a general can order development, and you must be standing in the district. A
warden faction's leaders and generals may also build and upgrade facilities in
the empire's districts, paid from the faction bank and their own carried
materials, but only the empire itself may set or change a specialization.
Type develop to see the district's status: its specialization, each of its
three facilities with their level and current buff, the cost and materials for
the next upgrade, and a progress bar for anything under construction.
Commands:
develop Show the district's specialization and facilities.
develop specialize Choose the district's specialization (empire
only). Changing it is free while nothing is
built, but once any facility exists it costs the
re-specialization fee and razes every facility to
level 0, so it asks you to confirm first.
develop Show one facility's next upgrade, cost, and
materials.
develop confirm Pay the zenni, consume the materials you are
carrying, and start the build timer.
develop rally Preview a Mobilization Broadcast from a Bastion
district's War Command, its cost and scope.
develop rally confirm Pay the zenni and broadcast the district's buffs
to the whole empire, everywhere, for one hour.
Types: Exchange, Forge, Garrison, Bastion, Sanctum, Farm (see help districts
for the three facilities and buffs each one provides).
Only one facility builds at a time per district. Facilities cost zenni plus
materials and take time to finish, and each level demands a higher minimum
material quality, anything below it is not accepted:
L1: 400, L2: 800, L3: 1200, L4: 1600, L5: 2400
Beyond their buffs, every
facility level also deepens the district's structure pool, making it tougher
to raze, so building up is itself a defense (see help districts).
Mobilization Broadcast:
A Bastion district's War Command can rally the empire, projecting its buffs
to every member everywhere for an hour, paid from the clan bank. Type develop
rally to preview the cost and scope, then develop rally confirm. Full details,
including which buffs travel, are in help rally.
Reconstruction:
If you lose a district, your empire remembers what it had built there. When you
develop a district of the same specialization on that same planet, rebuilding
each facility up to the level you lost costs half the zenni, materials, and
time. The confirm screen marks these builds as reconstruction. The discount
lasts until you are back to your old level, then normal costs resume.
Defend what you build. A district left to fall into rebellion loses some of its
facility levels, though reconstruction helps you recover afterward.
