Residential Dome

The Residential Dome is a passive survival module in Beyond Humanity Colonies. It is the primary method of increasing residential capacity in a Colony.

Statistics Data and Influences

Like most domes, Residential Domes feature a dominantly curved and rounded geometry. These specifically feature one of the largest surfaces of exposed glass in the game directly functioning as their roof. They have three corridor connections.

Usage Cases and Tactics

Residential Domes do not truly have any form of special use case. They are necessary if the Managers wish to avoid overcrowding, and since overcrowding will cause H/S/T stats to fall drastically if left unchecked, this will lead to riots which can cause the Colony to experience civil war, in which case everyone loses. Like most of the infrastructure modules, it's a matter of when, not if.

Notes

There are three residential domes in the box.

The ARC provides 3000 residential capacity. This means three domes + an ARC is 12000 souls, a full dome below the value required for a population victory. The remaining capacity can only be gotten through the use of Temporary Residential Cubes. There are no other factors which impact Residential Capacity known publicly at this time.

Interestingly, much of the concept art and even the art on the tiles seems to imply the Residential Dome was intended to have a much more flat roof.
