Crew Housing Guide

Housing is confirmed part of the welfare layer every outpost needs: the developer's own Kourou walkthrough names "terrestrial medical facilities, mess halls, housing, and other systems" as the structures that must be well-supplied before you leave a world. Your crew are not abstract workers — they are officers with morale whose survival is an explicit goal, and where they live is part of that equation.

Official copy ties crew outcomes to "morale and prowess" — dangerous encounters test both. Housing is the rest side of that loop: a crew that walks far to work, eats poorly and has no medical cover degrades exactly the way the game warns you about. Keep housing central, and treat new housing as a prerequisite for expanding any crew-heavy building.

Housing capacity per structure, morale mechanics thresholds, and whether different worlds impose habitat modifiers (cold protection on Kourou) are all unconfirmed. The launch build settles them — this page is on the launch-week backfill list.
