FIDS | Planetary System Endless Space Guide

FIDS is a factor which defines the planet, system and the whole empire condition.

It's a shortcut from the basic goods, which are generated by the every heavenly body in the Endless Space.

Those goods are Food, Industry, Dust, and Science.

	FOOD - One of the most important resource for every planet economic growth. High level of food determines adaptation level of the planet. It also affect greatly increasing of population.
	INDUSTRY - Determines development of whole systems. It's inversely proportional to the number of turns required to build a planetary installation (initiation of the researched technologies) and ships.
	DUST - Mainly comes from taxes. It's needed to build new modules, pay hero's salary or initiate technologies.
	SCIENCE - Science Points are required to research new technologies. Every of them requires particular number of those. The biggest pool you have, the shorter researching will be.

Other factor very important for the planets adaptation is an APPROVAL. It determines happiness of planet, system and empire citizens.

APPROVAL (happiness) - It's level depends on planet's natural conditions. Also food level and number of population (overpopulation) affects it.

Approval and population level of OTHERO 1 is marked in here

Depending on the type of the heavenly body, the FIDS factors have different values. According to this planets are grouped.

Number of population, planet's size and type, resources, installations, exploatation options and anomalies affect increasing of food, industry, incomes and researches. Anomalies may have negative or positive effect on adapting options. Those factors affect also planet's statistics before colonization.
