Planetary Management

Planetary Management

The economy in Galactic Civilization 4 is based around the 5 primary planetary inputs minerals, technology, wealth, farming and culture. These inputs are produced by and fed into core worlds. They are then turned into manufacturing, research, gross income, food, and influence outputs. A major part of the game is developing your economy to get the most out of these resources.

Planetary Input/Output:

Planetary Inputs are the raw resources for your economy. They will determine how effective a colony will be at producing its associated output. Colonies will send their planetary inputs to their sponsored core world, but some will be lost due to supply attrition. The table below details each of the inputs, where it’s typically found and the output it is paired with.
