Welcome to the biggest Idle Terra update so far!
Version 1.2.0 — The Colony introduces an expanded life-simulation system, a deeper economy, brand-new colony districts, and a redesigned approach to developing your base. Your settlement is no longer just an industrial outpost — it’s now a living colony.

A full set of new colony parameters has been added:

Core Stats:

• Population

• Health

• Entertainment

• Justice

• Ecology

• Science

• Commerce

Derived Stats:

• Morale

• Corruption

• Taxes

Every building now affects these stats in one way or another, creating deeper and more meaningful strategic decisions.

Population Growth
Population growth now depends on Morale and overall living conditions.

• Up to ~500 colonists, growth is relatively stable.

• Beyond that, you’ll need to significantly improve comfort, infrastructure, and ecological conditions to attract new residents.

Your colony is now a living ecosystem that reacts to your management.

The Plateau area can now be switched between:

• Plateau (Industrial)

• Plateau (Colony)

In Colony Mode, you can construct nine new district buildings:

• Residential Blocks

• Living Districts

• Green Quarters

• Commerce Quarters

• Leisure Districts

• Medical Quarters

• Research Districts

• Security Sectors

• Park Sectors

These buildings do not produce resources, but they provide significant boosts to Health, Entertainment, Justice, Ecology, Science, and Commerce.

They require substantial investment, but offer strong long-term rewards through higher taxes, improved population growth, and a stronger economy.

(Balance will continue to evolve — but the core system is now established.)

Tooltips have been added to important interface elements to give new players basic explanations and help them understand the core mechanics more easily.

If more tooltips are needed — feedback is welcome.

The resource panel now displays arrows showing whether each resource is increasing or decreasing.
A simple but very useful addition for managing your economy.

Several interface panels have been repositioned and adjusted for better clarity and usability.

• Improved map seed generation algorithm.

• Various optimizations.

• Several minor bugs fixed.

The “Quality Update” improves comfort and usability, allowing players to control everything with the mouse alone.
It introduces several interface refinements, visual adjustments, and small world details that make the game feel livelier and smoother.

✨ What’s New

• 🖱 Clicking a building now automatically opens the construction and design window with it selected.

• 🖱 Right-click now closes most open windows, making navigation smoother.

• 🔄 Buildings can now be rotated via GUI or the middle mouse button.

• 📈 Building levels are now displayed in the upgrade window.

• 🧱 The construction grid is now clearer and easier to read thanks to interface adjustments.

• 🏜 Unexplored lands now feature rocks and bushes, adding more life and contrast to the wasteland.

• ⛰ Mountains now surround the map, forming natural borders of the playable area.

The next update will focus on new mechanics and further planetary detail improvements.
Thanks to everyone sharing feedback and ideas — you help make Idle Terra better every day!
