Factions/Events

Certain Events can only occur on the world when play with the faction they correspond to.

## Daughters of Gaia

### Culling the Herd - choice

*We have captured a spy from the Sons of Hephaestus in our territory, trying to derail our terraforming efforts. While they refuse to accept responsibility for his actions, the Sons leadership are demanding we release him into their custody immediately. Our negotiator believes she can get them to offer compensation for his release, but wants to know what she should demand?*

- *Technology [Technology]*

*- Refuse all Offer*s

*- A Culture Point*

The Technology option unlocks the technology stated, which could be something that don't have the normal requirements for. It is possible for this to be a technology are already researching, and accepting it does not stop the research (also you can then safely cancel the research to recover some of the budget). If you choose refuse, nothing happens.

### New Growth

*A geneticist in [City] has discovered a radically effective new means of promoting growth among the local wildlife. Using this technique, the area surrounding [City] is seeing a dramatic increase in biomass!*

City produces biomass/minute.

Prerequisite: Play with biomass, not biospheres.

While playing with biospheres, a random organism will get a 20% permanent health boost.

### Survival of the Fittest - choice

*A protester from the Sons of Hephaestus has been making waves in [City], spreading a hateful anti-terraforming message. Even more troubling, they seem to be swaying some of the more impressionable people in the city.*

*We could send an assassin to silence them for [price], and prevent a potential shift in our culture away from our sacred mission. Shall we give the order?*

The price to send the assassin is so cheap that the event can be considered "just for fun". If you simply don't pay, the world's culture will shift towards Conservation, spending a culture point in the process; if you do not have a culture point, the population goal for the next culture point will increase, as if a culture point was spent.

### Viriditas

*A brand new Altar/Temple/Cathedral of Gaia has been constructed in [City], honoring the brave citizens of the Daughters of Gaia who have labored, fought, and given their lives to help spread life out into the universe.*

No effect.

## Sons of Hephaestus

### Itty Bitty Living Space

*A talented architect has reconfigured and overhauled several zones of [City], freeing up much needed room for extra living space. We estimate that as many as [number] new habitations can now fit within the existing infrastructure of the city.*

This event can allow the Habitation facilities in a city to fit more population. This is a habitation boost applied to a city, not to a specific Habitation facility.

### Local Hero

*A local hero among the Sons of Hephaestus has been honored with a new plaque in the center of [City], honoring their sacrifice in the pursuit of planet's rights and the preservation of the natural state of (the) [world].*

No effect.

### Plucking Flowers - choice

*We have captured a spy from the Daughters of Gaia in our territory, trying to derail our conservation efforts. While they refuse to accept responsibility for her actions, the Gaian leadership are demanding we release her into their custody immediately. Our negotiator believes he can get them to offer compensation for her release, but wants to know what he should demand?*

*Money: [Price]*

*Upgrade [city|facility] to level X*

A. Facility Upgrade to Level X

B. Refuse All Offers

C. Credits

If you choose accept money, it will give space creds. If you choose Facility Upgrade, it will become a Level X facility.

### Eco-Terrorist - choice

*Authorities in [city] have discovered an eco-terrorist from Daughters of Gaia. Evidence shows she is planning to release a massive amount of terraforming materials into the atmosphere, including biological materials and other contaminants, unless we pay her [price] immediately.*

A. Refuse

B. Pay the Ransom

-Accept to pay the ransom: [price] is removed, and nothing happens to the planet.

Refuse: Some terraforming stats (water, oxygen, heat, pressure) will move away from the goals. (similar to the effect of Falling Star event)

## United Nations Space Administration (UNSA)

### Population Boom

*A minor population boom has begun in [City]! After an international agreement to lower transit restrictions and encourage movement throughout the UNSA, more people are moving to (the) [world] in search of adventure and opportunity.*

A population boom of 5 - 25/min.

### Government Shutdown - choice

*Unable to reach a compromise, various factions in the UNSA legislature are heading toward a total government shutdown. If it occurs, we expect our economy to take a [-%] hit overnight, but we can spend a Culture Point to broker a compromise ourselves.*

*What should we do?*

*A.* *Shut it Down*

B. *Broker a Compromise*

If choose shut the government down, the instantly lose a percentage of credits. This event isn’t usually so bad in the early game, especially if credits are already low, but later in the game, this has the potential to really set back the player, players should choose the choices carefully depending on the percentage that can be lost or how much they have.

### Civic Duty - choice

*It's that time again! Elections are being held throughout the solar system to define the next era of UNSA leadership. The hot topic during this election: [Social Values/Eco-Policy/Economics/Government Structure].*

*One faction is pro-[-], while the other leans more heavily pro-[-]. Who will you vote for?*

A change in the world's Culture based on what voted for.

### International Recognition

*In recognition of its increasing economic, scientific, and cultural contributions to the ever-growing tapestry of human society, the UNSA has erected a new plaque in the center of [City] dedicated to the past, present and future citizens of (the) [world].*

No effect.

It doesn't matter if the city is actually big at all. It could be completely empty. As long as it has some population, this event can pop up.

## Horizon Corporation

### The Latest Craze - choice

*A local subsidiary of the Horizon Corporation in [City] has produced a new product that has gone viral! We're seeing significant growth in the local economy, and out revenue projections are increasing daily!*

Very substantial Revenue boost. Can go above 20.000c/min.

### Corporate Acquisition - choice

*The Horizon Acquisitions department has identified a promising startup in [City]. They're recommending either investing in the company, which will cost [price] and generate [revenue boost], or a complete purchase of the company entirely, which will cost [price] and generate [revenue boost].*

A. 10% investment

B. Pass Altogether

C. Purchase Company

Seemingly no effect.

It only lose the mine, not the entire outpost.

## Far-Future Institute

### Open Source - choice

*The Horizon Corporation is planning to patent a life-saving drug that it had previously planned to make freely available. We could buy the rights to it for [price], but if we don't, it could encourage other corporations to follow suit, shifting our culture toward Plutocracy.*

*-*Accept: No changes to the Culture

-Refuse: The Values will change to be more focused on +5% Wealth rather than a Plutocratic Government. This might be a bug, or just a typo in the pop up.

### A Place of Learning

*A brand new, state-of-the-art observatory/research lab has been built in [City]! Students and experts alike are already flocking to the site, and we expect it to be a significant part of the local culture of [City].*
