From publisher blurb:
COLONY BUILDER is a supplement for the Cepheus Engine roleplaying game and the HOSTILE setting.
Build a colony within the HOSTILE setting. Build a colony from your favourite SF movie or TV show. Make it pay. Keep your costs low. And then test in the market. How will it fare with a key group of characters at the helm? Make decisions for them as they try to fix the colony's inevitable problems, chart the fate of your creation into glory or ignominy. And then watch the corporation come in to take your profits!
Colony Builder provides easy-to-use tools that players need to create their own living and breathing extrasolar colonies. Take a budget and spend it wisely, and keep in mind your environment – every world is potentially hostile! Once built, your players can take up the roles of key personnel and get to manage the fledgling colony, leading the colonists in the struggle against hunger, air-loss, earthquakes, alien parasites and more…
The book covers the origins of colonial projects and which organizations are responsible for its creation, planning and inception. It includes a dozen useful vehicles and robots (including tree logging machines, hunter-killer seadrones and 4-legged excavators). It also features detailed information on the requirements of humans which can be used to extrapolate all kinds of other situations and provide the referee with the tools we used to create the colony building rules.
