Content of the DLC[]
The main addition of The High Life DLC are the skyscrapers which allow players to increase the population density of engineers and investors - more people can live in the same area. They are very useful if you want to drastically increase the amount of population you have. Inhabitants of the skyscrapers have additional needs satisfied by shopping arcades and goods produced in multifactories. Shopping arcades can use different patents, requiring different goods and providing reduction of consumption of various goods for the residences nearby. You can use them to significantly reduce the amount of goods your population consumes.
After getting enough investor skyscrapers of the highest level, you can construct the Skyline Tower which can house a few thousands investors. All skyscrapers and the monument have high maintenance costs, so you need to be careful about managing your income and expenses, too many skyscrapers can potentially ruin your economy.
