Moon Tycoon

         Tips and strategies from the official site

When a new structure is built, resources are redistributed. This
can cause a "Colony Blackout" when utilities lose their needed
resources. To prevent this, keep a few basic utilities near your
more advanced utility and personnel structures, to ensure that
they are always working.

To fix a "Colony Blackout" that has occurred; build a few basic
utilities and connect them to your existing utility and personnel
structures.

Press the ROTATE key to change the alignment of Connection Tubes
or to select a 4-way cross-junction Tube (check Help / Options).

To adjust how fast the camera moves, use the CAMERA FASTER /
SLOWER Keyboard Shortcut buttons (check Help / Options).

Be careful when demolishing buildings or Connection Tubes.  You
don't want to cut off the resource flow to large parts of the
colony!

You can customize your visual / audio settings in the Options Menu
so Moon Tycoon plays the way you want it to.

Use the Help Menu if you don't know how to build a certain
building.

Each Maintenance Center will add extra years to the Life of
buildings. When buildings have less than 2 years of Life left,
they become red.

Plan ahead and build your colony in small portions! Otherwise, you
may have many buildings running out of Service Life at the same
time.

Mining and Factory Production - both can quickly provide large
amounts of money for the colony, but will greatly lower Morale and
Attraction. Warehouses are required to store produced goods, and a
Radio Tower is needed to receive current market prices.

Research - different buildings will provide Research Points for
the colony. You can distribute these points towards advancements
in either Electronic or Medical Factory production, increasing
their potential selling price.

Tourism - the key to building a successful Tourism colony is
knowing the effect that each building has on the colony's
Attraction and Tourist count. Some Tourism structures will also
increase colony Morale, which benefits Space Agency support!

Monthly Expenses - you can view and adjust the amount of funds
given to colony programs in the Expenses Menu. Increasing certain
expenses will benefit Research, Morale, or Attraction.

Morale and Attraction - the Status Menu shows the current Morale
and Attraction level, and which buildings are causing the effects.

Morale is the happiness of your colonists. The better the Morale,
the higher the Agency Support you will receive. The positive or
negative outcome of Special Requests is directly affected by
colony Morale.

Attraction shows how desirable your colony is to visit. The higher
the Attraction, the more money each Tourist will spend at your
colony.
