Nutrients are used to expand the population of bases.

Each population unit requires 2 units of nutrients to be maintained. Any extra enables population growth.

There are various ways to obtain nutrients.

The Monsoon Jungle and the Freshwater Sea squares provide an extra +1 Nutrient.

Xenofungus produce no Nutrients at the start of a game, except for the Gaia's Stepdaughters faction that gets a +1 bonus.

Condensers increase rainfall on arid and moist squares. A river may increase rainfall.

Base Facilities[]

Certain structures can also increase nutrient production:
