Settlement Expansion Unit
Designed by Morray & Sons this is every Settlement Captain's dream. From the moment a settlement is placed, the one thing it needs is space. By the time you have your power, housing and the all important research added, you have to start to make hard choices when selecting to add new items.
The Settlement Expansion Unit is designed to resolve this issue, allowing the lucky owner of such a unit to expand their settlement by another 5 Slots. Of course, as with most things 'settlement based' it does have a catch. Whilst the system is fully automated and even deployed and set up automatically, opening up the slots for 'buildings' requires research for each slot starting at 75K for the initial slot.
Nonetheless, the extra space and room to once again 'choose freely' your next settlement add-on is well worth the cost and SRP investment. To fit the unit, you must have it in your ships stores when visiting your settlement overview. At that stage, you will be asked if you wish to assemble the unit. You may choose to defer to a later time if you so choose. Remember, you can only fit one Expansion to a settlement in its lifetime.
Requirements : Settlement Level 5 or above - no existing Expansion.
Note: Further research required to unlock new slots.
