I was running out of space again. This time, it was quite a serious issue. I didn't have enough influence to increase my perimeter size, but I needed food for my rapidly expanding colony, but I had nowhere to put new farms. I took a seat next to a berry farm and started to think.
Each farm required a large portion of land in my perimeter. This was an issue if I had no more land. Waiting for a border expansion wasn't an option either, this was desperate. As I have mentioned before, building outside the walls was out of the question.
Then I realised we lived in the third dimension.
My border extended upwards and downwards. So instead of taking up room horizontally, I could take up room vertically. I was already doing this with my colonists, having them live underground which increased the space I had for other stuff massively. With this new revelation, I started to build up towers for farms.
They couldn't be too high, lest I suffer deaths from heights, so I decided to make them 3 stories. The fall wouldn't be lethal and I still had enough food to support my colony. I began to do this with nearly all of my farms. Barley, wheat, berry and lettuce. This cleared up a lot more space for more important stuff, like more towers!
This accelerated the colony's production massively and I began to wonder, is there anything outside the walls?
