Ape Apps

Hello guys!

Up to now, the way we unlock buildings is based on two ways, technology and atmosphere, respectively.

Indeed on such stranger planets, research and terraforming are vital for a colony to survive and develop.
But something we can question in My Colony - how people are maintained in harmony and order? And where do the services, institutes and policies comes from?

Here, let me introduce a new gameplay that would be added onto the current gameplay system - The Code of Law, i.e, legislation.
Similar to researches, but what it consumes would be mainly civics, what it unlocks would be mostly gameplay features and policies.

The Code of Law is available after you have researched colonial civics, and producing the first civics.
To unlock the policies you normally use in My Colony, some laws must be signed, costing civics.

For instance, the first law available would be ‘Governance Institutes’, unlocking Consulate and in-commonwealth interactions.
Another example would be ‘Financial Secretary’, unlocking the ability of auto-budget.
Further example would be ‘International Trade Regulation‘, unlocks GBT buildings.

Besides these stuff, there’ll be more extra (and some crazy) stuff like:
‘Child Labour’ law which expands labour force to lower age groups. Provides more workers, but your people will surely be unhappy.
‘Subdivided Housing’ law that increases all housing limit by 10%, rounded up.
‘Tourism Tax’ law which the colony will recieve extra income from each tourist’s arrival.

And more... which I’ll dump in the comments later!

Ideas? Feedbacks? (•ω•)
Comments please!

• ‘Technology Copyright’ - For each technology researched, you earns money of 15% of the research cost.
• ‘Housing Self-Maintenance’ - Reduce housing repair cost by 30%.
