Wow the moon is expensive!

[Tatsumasa]

Playing on hard and I unlocked the moon and I threw down a bunch of houses not paying attention to the fact that they cost $7500 each... I guess you have to have the other colonies farming money for you before you jump into the Moon.

[streulet]

It's why you never see a fat astronaught!

[Wildmanyeah]

dont even go to the moon till u have 30k people

[Mansen]

Yep, pretty much. I realized this as well very early on, and went back to expanding my temperate zone immensively.

Some of the later Lunar buildings cost upwards of a million a piece - You'll really want to upgrade before building new stuff.

Basically turning my temperate region into a giant tax slum to support the moon colony. I'm not sure whether it's funny, realistic, or both.

What the hell is a "tax slum"?

In reality or in this game?

In the game, I just built a bunch of temperate residences without any plan to upgrade, improve, or even supply them. They just move in and get taxed.

In reality, Mumbai.

I just call them Minions or ATM's just there to get money out from

I am just imagining a scenario like Midgar from FFVII here... hopefully a piece of the moon base breaks into orbit and smashes on your slum below

You really should upgrade them - They pay more taxes when you upgrade and supply them properly. Not hard to get 50-100k income by the time you're trading with the Lunar Colony.
