Unless you're seriously trying to restrain the size of
your bases, at some point you will definately want to build the Hab Complex, the
only question is when. The answer is, "Soon, but not too soon". Don't rush to
build a Hab Complex right away when you establish a base. It will take some time
for the base to grow to maximum size anyway, and when it is ready to grow it will
be in your interests to already have some basic stabilizing facilities in place
- Children's Creche , Network
Node , Recycling Tanks and Recreation
Commons are excellent candidates. Also, the Hab Complex is a bit expensive
to maintain for a core facility, and building it too early can put an inconvenient
crimp in your cash flow.
The Hab Complex increases the maximum size of your base
by seven. For a base to grow to its full capacity, you'll need the Habitation
Dome as well (you have to have a Hab Complex in place before you can build the
Habitation Dome). Hab Complexes are particularly important
to the Morganites , because of thier severe
limits to base population.
