The opportunities for profit are only limited by your moral flexibility and economic ruthlessness. Specialize intelligently and the billions will flow in. | The opportunities for profit are only limited by your moral flexibility and economic ruthlessness.

===Resource Generation=== | |||
In addition to providing shelter and research capabilities, outposts also serve as production hubs for valuable resources: | |||
====Raw Material Harvesting==== | |||
* Surface Extractors can harvest common minerals, metals, and elements over time | |||
* Extractors are placed near detected mineral deposits identified by surveying | |||
* Mining rigs can be built to access buried resources like ore veins | |||
* Oil wells and natural gas extractors can tap into fossil fuel reservoirs | |||
* Resource quantities depend on the natural abundances present around the outpost | |||
====Agriculture==== | |||
* Hydroponic habs enable growing alien plants, fungi, and other lifeforms | |||
* Different crops can be cultivated based on discovered flora across planets | |||
* Biologists can research plant genetics to optimize crop yields and growth times | |||
* Resources are harvested from plants via techniques like milking, tapping, and sustainable gathering | |||
====Creature Husbandry==== | |||
* Alien creatures can potentially be kept at outposts as livestock | |||
* Livestock can be bred and raised specifically for harvesting resources | |||
* Examples include grazing creatures, insects, and other invertebrates | |||
* Requires zoologists to learn creature husbandry practices and optimal breeding | |||
* Pens, habitats, and food sources must be provided for livestock | |||
* Animals are processed for resources like hide, meat, secretions, eggs, etc. | |||
====Processing & Production==== | |||
* Collected raw resources can be processed and refined into usable materials | |||
* Metals can be smelted into ingots, alloys formed by alloying, gases condensed and collected | |||
* Organic resources can be processed into materials like textiles and consumables | |||
* Advanced fabrication capabilities can use refined resources to produce items | |||
* Technicians optimize processing operations and yields | |||
