Colony Projects

[Bicio]

Hello everyone,
in the colonies screen I saw that there are 13 slots for the various projects. There are 13 projects so I thought they could all be built over time.

But I realized that some projects block others and the result is that after a while there is no longer any way to build anything, even if there are several free slots left.

Is it something that will be unlocked by proceeding with the various acts or will it never be possible to develop a colony with all 13 projects?

Thank you :)

Act 4 unlocks tier 4 and 5 projects. There are more non-exclusive projects for tiers 1 through 5 than there are slots for most planets. I do not know what happens when you fill all the slots though, I haven't got that far.

As you progress through the acts you get more projects for your colonies. Be warned this is of course bugged too and you can end up unable to build anymore.

Can you build more than one tier 2 colony project on each colony? Not all of them are marked as mutually exclusive.
I don't want to build a crappy project just because I have the resources for it right now if that will block me from being able to build a better project in a few more hours of game play.

Yes.

Tier 1 = restricted to 1 project.

Tier 2 = doesn't seem to have any restrictions.

I don't know if it's fully unlimited though.

Tier 3 = mutually exclusive projects.

Tier 4+5 = I don't know, haven't got that far yet.

Tiers 1, 3, and 5 or pick one out of three. Tiers 2 and 4 are pick any with some blocking only one other.

Note that at least some colonies don't have enough build slots to get all possible tier 2/4 projects, so you may want to hold back on less useful ones (for example Indulgences For Sale on Foulstone) until Act 4.

[Khryst]

also note that some projects require a project from another colony.

so there is some planning needed if you are wanting to get things.

Thanks for your help guys, since the game is so new the guides out there are far from complete.

a nice mess in short.. :/

but is there any way to understand how long it takes to build a project? I don't understand if it's real time or game time and if it's game time, how it's calculated.. :/

I am not sure, but if you jump around a few stars they are all magically finished when I check them again.

can you change a project? made a mistake and was curious if I could 'revert' my developments

I have the same Problem, did you find a way?

[Morgian]

You cannot. Given that some of them interrelate, changing them would be a chore.

Let alone the other implications. Do you expect to get your resources back? Hand back your rewards? Your faction points?
