Each of your bases produces +1 additional nutrient per turn for each satellite built. This bonus is halved for bases without [[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Facilities#Aerospace Complex|Aerospace Complexes]] and cannot exceed the size of the base in any case. You can build any number of satellites, for a cumulative bonus at ''every'' base. This makes them much more useful for larger factions than for smaller ones, as the cost is the same no matter how many bases you have to benefit from them. | Each of your bases produces +1 additional nutrient per turn for each satellite built.

These are the first of the satellite types to become available, in the middle phase of the game. If you want to use the satellite strategy, get the [[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Secret Projects#Cloudbase Academy|Cloudbase Academy]] if at all possible because it will almost double the effect of your entire satellite constellation. If you can't do this, then you will need to build aerospace complexes at as many bases as you reasonably can. | These are the first of the satellite types to become available, in the middle phase of the game.

If you can't do this, then you will need to build aerospace complexes at as many bases as you reasonably can. Of course, the more satellites you have up, the bigger the payoff for each aerospace complex you build. Don't bother building one or two satellites and then stopping. Instead, if you're going to put up satellites at all then plan to keep going until you have 4-6 of each type. A large faction with a large constellation of satellites is well positioned for world dominance. | ||
The primary effect of the sky hydroponics labs will be to increase the growth rate of your bases by increasing their nutrient production. They will also cushion your bases against adverse events such as planet blight. Finally, whenever you capture an enemy base it will immediately start getting this nutrient bonus, allowing it to more quickly recover from the population loss inherent in warfare (especially if you use aerial bombing campaigns against enemy farms as part of your war strategy). | The primary effect of the sky hydroponics labs will be to increase the growth rate of your bases by increasing their nutrient production.
