Residential Zone

The Residential Zone increases available housing and supports population growth. New residents give you more potential workers, but they also increase food consumption.

Check the population and housing capacity. Growth stops when a colony reaches its limit. If there is room but growth is slow, check happiness and the state of the economy.

Expand housing alongside food and power production. After the population grows, decide where new workers are most useful instead of spreading them without a priority.
