This page discusses the game mechanics for habs. For a list of all hab modules in Terra Invicta, as well as their stats, see Hab Module List instead. For planning out your habs, see Hab Planner

Habitats, or habs, are space-based facilities operated by Factions. They are composed of modules. All modules have a core module; the size of the core determines the size of the hab. The size of the hab determines both how many modules you can have (4, 12 or 20, plus the core), and the maximum size of each module.

Habs may be founded in three ways. One is to launch the core module from Earth, using Boost. This can take a lot of time if the location is far from the homeworld. A second is to develop and build kits that ships can deploy when they arrive in an orbit or land on a space body. A third is to found habs from other habs in the same planetary system that have a construction module.

Habs may be assaulted and captured by Marines from ships, although building barracks modules helps defend it. A councilor with a high Command attribute leading an assault mission gives it a much greater chance of success.

Habs, like Fleets, belong directly to a faction. Your hab may be nominally operating under NASA or the United Nations, but what matters is that its people are really working for The Academy, The Resistance, Project Exodus, etc.

Habs have a support cost drawn from space resources. If those are insufficient, then Boost is used. And if you are out of both, or have insufficient Mission Control, your hab is much more likely to suffer accidents, and be much more willing to switch allegiance to another faction.

Life Support

Each human at a hab requires 0.35 Water, 0.35 Volatiles, and 0.1 Money per year. This is approximately 0.029 Water, 0.029 Volatiles, and 0.008 Money per month. Agricultural modules cover and upkeeps for a certain number of crew in the hab.

Radiation Shielding

Some locations have dangerous levels of natural radiation, and modules built in the location needs extra Base Metals to protect crew and equipment from radiation. For example, every location on Mercury has 2x radiation modifier, which means the total mass of a module becomes double the amount of normal value and the difference is paid with Base Metals. For example, a 200 Tons module becomes 400 Tons module on Mercury, and that 200 Tons of difference means an additional 20 Base Metals cost.

Construction Modifiers

Each hab module has a base construction time, measured in days. But the actual construction time can be modified in multiple ways:

If the hab module is an upgrade of a previously built hab module in the same hab module slot, then the construction time (and resource costs) are multiplied by 2/3.
If the hab contains one or more active modules that modify the construction time, then their bonuses are applied as follows:
1. Sort the list of such modules in ascending order by their construction time modifier.
2. For the i-th module in the list, multiply the construction time by (1 - (1 - construction time modifier) / i²).
If the hab module requires materials to be boosted from Earth, then add the time needed for the materials to travel from Earth to the hab.

Stations

Stations are built in an orbit. You can build various modules on them to get benefits, and some modules have additional benefits if the station is in one of the Earth's interface orbits.

When the game starts there are two existing tier 1 stations, each with a unique orbit around Earth: The International Space Station (controlled by the Academy), with two Solar Collectors and one Space Science Lab, and Tiangong Station (controlled by Project Exodus), with no modules beyond the core. Those two factions start with innate boost income to support the upkeep of those staion.

A hostile fleet may board or destroy the station. But if the station has defense module(s), the hostile fleet should fight a battle first and destroy the defense module(s). When destroying undefended station, it takes 15 minutes per each tier of the module to destroy a module.

Stations use the following core modules. They require the council engineering project with the same name to be constructed.

Module	Tier	Build Cost	Monthly Upkeep^[1]
Platform Core	1	0.75 0.75 30 Days	2 2 3 Crew
Orbital Core	2	5 5 60 Days	10 3 15 Crew
Ring Core	3	40 40 90 Days	20 4 75 Crew
Automated Platform Core	1	0.5 1.4 0.1 30 Days	1

Particle Colliders

Particle Colliders are used to produce Antimatter. They also produce Energy Research but once the bonus goes above 50% it suffers diminishing returns.

Colliders can only be built in orbit.

Antimatter Capture

Antimatter capture modules can only be constructed in orbits that have Antimatter. Only one antimatter capture module can operate in each antimatter orbit, regardless of faction.

The amount of natural antimatter production is so small that it is in practice useless. For example, medium earth orbit has 33a monthly output, which is 0.000000000000000033 units of antimatter per month with the 100% efficient Antimatter Farm doing the harvesting. The largest antimatter value in the solar system is medium Saturn orbit at 2p, which is 0.000000000002.

Solar panels may produce a maximum of 8x their baseline maximum power value.
Automated Solar Mirror	1	0.5 3.5 1 30 Days	1 0.1 0.03 1	Add 2 Power to all solar power modules, multiplied by solar module tier, for faction bases on the space body it orbits. Bonus also applies on a moon if the module is the L-1, L-4, or L-5 points between the moon and its parent planet. If placed in the L-1 point between a planet and the sun, the bonus applies to all bases in the planetary system. Mass increases based on distance from the Sun. Solar panels may produce a maximum of 8x their baseline maximum power value.

Build cost scales with distance to the sun to model the fact that the mirrors need to be larger to collect the same amount of light. (Multiply all material costs by the distance in AU squared, so at Mars the multiplier is 2.3 and at Jupiter it's 27.)

Campaign Modules

Campaign Modules are tier 3 modules that can only be constructed by certain factions once certain campaign objectives have been completed. Constructing it will allow the faction to complete its final objective.

Module	Build Cost	Monthly Upkeep	Special Rule	Faction
Sentinel Complex	20 380 400 200 120 Days	20 150 1 100 Crew	Enables the Dominate Nation mission. Add 6 Marine Strengthmarine strength as T2 Marines. Cannot depower. Need Earth interface orbit. Has upkeep even when unpowered.	The Protectorate
Interstellar Launch Facility	2350 5000 11000 6250 400 720 Days	20 5000 20 80 Crew	Victory module for Project Exodus. Has upkeep even when unpowered.	Project Exodus

The Deep Space Telesope is a campaign tier 2 module only available to the Project Exodus faction for its objectives. Its stats are comparable to the Space Science Research Center module.

Module	Build Cost	Monthly Upkeep	Monthly Income	Special Rule	Faction
Deep Space Telescope	6 12 2 90 Days	3 20 15 Crew	5	Cannot depower. Adds 25% Space Science	Project Exodus

Bases

Bases are built at a hab site. A hab site should be surveyed first to build a base. Surveying can be done with a prospector probe or a ship with science module.

Bases use the following core modules. They require the council engineering project with the same name to be constructed.

Module	Tier	Build Cost	Monthly Upkeep^[1]
Outpost Core	1	1 1 30 Days	2 3 5 Crew
Settlement Core	2	5 5 60 Days	3 10 25 Crew
Colony Core	3	40 40 90 Days	4 20 125 Crew
Automated Outpost Core	1	0.8 1 0.2 30 Days	1

Mining Complexes

Each base will have a Mining Deposit Access Point above the Core Module. Only Mining Complex modules can be constructed on it, which will produce the resources of the hab site. Its construction cost and power consumption are modified by mining modifier. It may incur additional Mission Control cost depending on the Mine Limit.

Module	Tier	Build Cost	Monthly Upkeep	Monthly Income
Outpost Mining Complex	1	2.5 2.5 19.75 0.25 60 Days	6 2 0.5 10 12 Crew	1 × Hab Site Resources
Settlement Mining Complex	2	12.5 12.5 98.75 1.25 120 Days	30 5 2 40 60 Crew	1.5 × Hab Site Resources
Colony Mining Complex	3	100 100 790 10 240 Days	60 15 6 200 200 Crew	2 × Hab Site Resources
Automated Mining Complex	1	2.5 3.75 18 0.75 30 Days	2 0.5 12	1.25 × Hab Site Resources

Mining modifier

This modifier is applied to the mining module's space resource build cost and Power Consumption on respective celestial body. For example, the modifier for Mars is roughly 0.9342. So an Outpost Mining Complex that normally costs 2.5 2.5 19.75 0.25 and 10 instead costs roughly 2.34 2.34 18.45 0.23 and 9 .

This modifier is applied before the radiation penalty multiplier to the hab module's total mass, and so they are in a sense, multiplicative. For example, the modifier for Mercury is roughly 1.9641, and the Radiation penalty is 2×. A Colony Mining Complex normally costs 100 100 790 10 and 200 . Applying the mining modifier changes this to roughly 196.41 196.41 1551.64 19.64 and 393 . This means the mass of the Colony Mining Complex changes from the original 10000 Tons to 19641 Tons after the mining modifier. Applying the 2× Radiation penalty to this mass of 19641 Tons results in a total mass of 39282 Tons, with all this additional mass being paid for by an additional 1964.1 Base Metals. So the total costs of the Colony Mining Complex on Mercury is roughly 196.41 196.41 3515.74 19.64 and 393 .

Mining modifier is increased by several factors, which are: escape velocity of the celestial body, atmosphere of the celestial body, escape velocity from the planet it's orbiting at the body's orbit (if the celestial body is a moon), escape velocity from the sun at its orbit (does not count if luna), and the distance from the Sun to the celestial body.

The table below shows mining modifiers on notable celestial bodies.

Celestial Body	Mining Modifier
Luna	0.5077
Mars	0.9342
Ceres	0.7699
Mercury	1.9641
Callisto	0.9123
Io	1.4960
Titan	0.8865
Pluto	1.5029

Mine Limit

Every human faction has a mine limit, beyond which any additional mines will incur additional Mission Control costs. This mine limit is initially 0, but can be increased by the following:

Source	Mine Limit Increase
Mission to the Moon	3
Mission to Mercury	3
Mission to Mars	6
Mission to the Asteroids	6
Mission to Jupiter	6
Mission to Saturn	6
Mission to the Outer Planets	6
Future Tech: Space Science	1
Gold Rush (Project Exodus only.)	6

So before Future Tech is reached, human Factions have a mine limit of up to 36, except for Project Exodus which gets 42.

When a faction has more mines than their limit, the total Mission Control cost penalty they have to pay is calculated as follows:

Max(1, Floor(Excess mines ^ 2 / 2))

Excess Mines	penalty
Excess Mines	Of new mine	Total
1	1	1
2	1	2
3	2	4
4	4	8
5	4	12
6	6	18
7	6	24
8	8	32
9	8	40
10	10	50

Modules

Most hab modules consume power. You must build sufficient power-generating modules to accommodate your other modules. Modules may be turned off to reduce power consumption, although certain modules must remain on if there is power to support them in the hab.

Hab modules are added to habs either by shipping them from Earth using boost or building them out of space materials. Some modules have upgrade paths to larger versions; upgrading a module in this way is done at a discount.

Power Modules produce Power to the hab. Solar power modules have different output depending on the solar power module multiplier of the location, which represents how much solar power it receives from the Sun on average. For details, see Power#Solar_Power_Mechanics.

Defense Modules

Defense modules house weapons to defend habs and prevent enemy Assault Hab fleet operations. Higher tier defense modules house larger weapons and have better defenses.

Despite sharing names and graphics, ground-based and space-based defense modules function very differently.

When built on surface bases they house special massive surface-to-orbit laser cannons and will fire at fleets that begin bombardment. They upgrade automatically when one of those global techs are researched: Arc lasers, Phased-Array Lasers, Visible Combat Lasers, Ultraviolet Combat Lasers. See Laser Weapon List#Non-Ship Lasers for details on these laser cannons. They also upgrade to use the best armor researched that does not cost Exotics, which greatly increases their armor. See Ship Armor List for details.

Surface defense modules will defend against orbital bombardment.

When built on stations they house the following weapons, depending on their tier:

A 1/2/4-hull slot laser weapon
A 1/2/4-hull slot kinetic weapon
A 1-hull slot point defense weapon
A 4-hull slot plasma weapon (Battlestations only)

These automatically upgrade when new faction projects that develop hull weapons are researched, selecting whatever option gives the highest combat rating. If no compatible weapon is found, then the weapon slot usually defaults to some kind of naval gun. Station defense modules have unchippable but low armor, only 5 * tier, and this value cannot be increased. Their HP is determined from your best armor researched that does not cost Exotics, and also automatically upgrades when you complete a relevant project. See Ship Armor List for details.

Stations with defense modules will take part in space battles.

-Habitats, or habs, are space-based facilities operated by factions. They are composed of modules. All modules have a core module; the size of the core determines the size of the hab. The size of the hab determines both how many modules you can have (4, 12 or 20, plus the core), and the maximum size of each module.

The size of the hab determines both how many modules you can have (4, 12 or 20, plus the core), and the maximum size of each module.
-Habs may be founded in three ways. One is to launch the core module from Earth, using boost. This can take a lot of time if the location is far from the homeworld. A second is to develop and build kits that ships can deploy when they arrive in an orbit or land on a space body. A third is to found habs from other habs in the same planetary system that have a construction module.

-Habs may be assaulted and captured by Marines from ships, although building barracks modules helps defend it. A councilor with a high command attribute leading an assault mission gives it a much greater chance of success.

-Habs, like fleets, belong directly to a faction. Your hab may be nominally operating under NASA or the United Nations, but what matters is that its people are really working for {{icon|cooperate}}[[The Academy]], {{icon|resist}}[[The Resistance]], {{icon|escape}}[[Project Exodus]], etc.

 == Life Support ==
-Each human at a hab requires {{icon|water|bgcolor=transparent}}0.35 water, {{icon|volatiles|bgcolor=transparent}}0.35 volatiles, and {{icon|money|bgcolor=transparent}}0.1 money ''per year''. This is approximately 0.029 water, 0.029 volatiles, and 0.008 money ''per month''. Agricultural module covers {{icon|water}} and {{icon|volatiles}} upkeep of certain number of crews in the hab.

Agricultural modules cover {{icon|water}} and {{icon|volatiles}} upkeeps for a certain number of crew in the hab.
 == Radiation Shielding ==
-Some locations have {{icon|radiation|bgcolor=DarkSlateGray}}dangerous levels of natural radiation, and modules built in the location needs extra {{icon|metal}}base metals to protect crew and equipment from radiation. For example, every location on Mercury has {{icon|radiation|bgcolor=DarkSlateGray}}2x radiation modifier, which means the total mass of a module becomes double the amount of normal value and the difference is paid with base metals. e. g. 200t module becomes 400t module on Mercury, and 200t difference means additional {{icon|metal}}20 base metal cost.

+== Construction Modifiers ==
+Each hab module has a base construction time, measured in days. But the actual construction time can be modified in multiple ways:
+* If the hab module is an upgrade of a previously built hab module in the same hab module slot, then the construction time (and resource costs) are multiplied by 2/3.
+* If the hab contains one or more active modules that modify the construction time, then their bonuses are applied as follows:
+*# Sort the list of such modules in ascending order by their construction time modifier.
+*# For the i-th module in the list, multiply the construction time by (1 - (1 - construction time modifier) / i²).
+* If the hab module requires materials to be {{icon|boost}}boosted from [[Earth]], then add the time needed for the materials to travel from [[Earth]] to the hab.

 ==== Mining modifier ====
-This modifier is applied to the mining module's mass and {{icon|power consumption}}power maintenance on respective celestial body. For example, the mass of Outpost Mining Complex on Mars calculated by 250 * 0.9342 = 233.55, rounded up to 234 (tons). This is multiplicative with radiation penalty, so mass of Colony Mining Complex on Mercury would be 10000 * 1.9641 * 2 = 39282 (tons). Radiation does not affect power cost of the module, so the power consumption of Colony Mining Complex on Mercury is 200 * 1.9641 = 392.82, rounded up to 393.
+This modifier is applied to the mining module's [[Resources#Space_Resources|space resource]] build cost and {{TV|power consumption}} on respective celestial body. For example, the modifier for [[Mars]] is roughly 0.9342. So an Outpost Mining Complex that normally costs {{TVS|water|2.5}} {{TVS|volatiles|2.5}} {{TVS|metals|19.75}} {{TVS|nobles|0.25}} and {{TVS|power consumption|10}} instead costs roughly {{TVS|water|2.34}} {{TVS|volatiles|2.34}} {{TVS|metals|18.45}} {{TVS|nobles|0.23}} and {{TVS|power consumption|9}}.
+This modifier is applied before the [[Habs#Radiation_Shielding|radiation]] penalty multiplier to the hab module's total mass, and so they are in a sense, multiplicative. For example, the modifier for [[Mercury]] is roughly 1.9641, and the Radiation penalty is {{icon|radiation|bgcolor=DarkSlateGray}}2×. A Colony Mining Complex normally costs {{TVS|water|100}} {{TVS|volatiles|100}} {{TVS|metals|790}} {{TVS|nobles|10}} and {{TVS|power consumption|200}}. Applying the mining modifier changes this to roughly {{TVS|water|196.41}} {{TVS|volatiles|196.41}} {{TVS|metals|1551.64}} {{TVS|nobles|19.64}} and {{TVS|power consumption|393}}. This means the mass of the Colony Mining Complex changes from the original {{TVS|tons|10000}} to {{TVS|tons|19641}} after the mining modifier. Applying the {{icon|radiation|bgcolor=DarkSlateGray}}2× Radiation penalty to this mass of {{TVS|tons|19641}} results in a total mass of {{TVS|tons|39282}}, with all this additional mass being paid for by an additional {{TV|metals|1964.1}}. So the total costs of the Colony Mining Complex on [[Mercury]] is roughly {{TVS|water|196.41}} {{TVS|volatiles|196.41}} {{TVS|metals|3515.74}} {{TVS|nobles|19.64}} and {{TVS|power consumption|393}}.
 Mining modifier is increased by several factors, which are: escape velocity of the celestial body, atmosphere of the celestial body, escape velocity from the planet it's orbiting at the body's orbit (if the celestial body is a moon), escape velocity from the sun at its orbit (does not count if luna), and the distance from the Sun to the celestial body.

+==== Mine Limit ====
+Every human [[Factions|faction]] has a mine limit, beyond which any additional mines will incur additional {{TV|mc}} costs. This mine limit is initially 0, but can be increased by the following:
+{| class="wikitable sortable"
+! Source !! Mine Limit Increase

+|-
+| {{icon|materials}}{{icon|projects}}[[Project_GoldRush|Gold Rush]]<br>({{icon|escape}}[[Project Exodus]] only.) || 6
+|-
+|}
+So before [[Technology#Future_Tech|Future Tech]] is reached, human [[Factions]] have a mine limit of up to 36, except for {{icon|escape}}[[Project Exodus]] which gets 42.
+When a faction has more mines than their limit, the total {{TV|mc}} cost penalty they have to pay is calculated as follows:

+When built on '''stations''' they house the following weapons, depending on their tier:
-Defense modules house weapons to defend habs and prevent enemy Assault Hab fleet operations.
+* A 1/2/4-hull slot laser weapon
+* A 1/2/4-hull slot kinetic weapon
+* A 1-hull slot point defense weapon
+* A 4-hull slot plasma weapon (Battlestations only)
+These automatically upgrade when new faction projects that develop hull weapons are researched, selecting whatever option gives the highest combat rating. If no compatible weapon is found, then the weapon slot usually defaults to some kind of naval gun. Station defense modules have unchippable but low armor, only 5 * tier, and this value cannot be increased. Their HP is determined from your best armor researched that does not cost {{TV|exotics}}, and also automatically upgrades when you complete a relevant project. See [[Ship Armor List]] for details.
-When built on surface bases they house 2 surface-to-orbit laser cannons and will fire at fleets that begin bombardment. They upgrade automatically when one of those global techs are researched: {{icon|energy}}Arc lasers, {{icon|energy}}Phased-Array Lasers, {{icon|military}}Visible Combat Lasers, {{icon|military}}Ultraviolet Combat Lasers.
+Stations with defense modules will take part in space battles.
-When built on stations they house 2 anti-ship weapons: 1 laser battery (laser / arc laser / phaser) and 1 projectile battery (gun / rail / coil / plasma). In addition, they also house 1 point defense turret (40mm autocannon / laser / arc laser / phaser). Stations with defense modules will take part in space battles. They upgrade automatically when new faction projects that unlock hull weapons are researched.
