Resort Worlds are designated for leisure and tourism, offering maximum habitability for all populations due to climate-controlled resorts. These worlds cannot have districts or resource-producing structures but enhance amenities on other empire territories significantly.
To convert a planet into a Resort World, it must have no buildings or districts (except the capital) and be at least 15 in size. The quality of the resort, determined by the planet type, influences the facilities it provides to other worlds. Resort planets are a worthwhile investment, especially for border planets, as they provide habitability benefits and trade value.
Resort planets boast 100 percent habitability, allowing you to transform otherwise unusable planets like tomb worlds into luxury tourist attractions, benefiting your entire empire. Migration pacts become more advantageous as the +100 percent habitability accelerates species’ growth rates and immigration.
Creating a resort world adds the Resort World Designation, granting 100 percent habitability, 15 percent extra amenities for other colonies, 15 percent increased immigration pull, and 1 additional clerk job for every 2 pops. However, resort worlds cannot support districts or specific buildings. To create one, you need Resort Worlds technology, a planet size of 15 or more, and no existing buildings or districts.
Resort worlds play a crucial role in improving amenities across your planets, enhancing pop happiness and planetary stability, which affects resource output. Each resort world increases amenities on other planets by 25 percent, boosting overall happiness.
Strategically, you can focus on building all districts on a planet before converting it into a resort world, maximizing its utility. Additionally, droids can free up building spaces as they require no jobs, provide amenities, and occupy minimal space.
For bio ascension, constructing specific structures like fortresses, paradise domes, robot factories, and cloning labs can optimize resort worlds. Once population and housing are maximized, you can transfer excess pops and robots to other planets.
Utopian Abundance, available to egalitarian empires, allows you to create luxury houses or paradise domes across the entire resort world, catering to unemployed individuals. While this method requires rare materials, it significantly enhances the overall bliss of the inhabitants.
Resort worlds may not focus on resource generation, but their strategic placement and management can greatly enhance your empire’s happiness and overall productivity.
