Provides a public service for your residents.
University is a Public Service building, which fulfills the basic need for residences of three population tiers in Old World (and Cape Trelawney):
Artisans,
Engineers and
Scholars.
Need fulfilment[]
Like every public building the university can affect only those buildings which are connected to it by roads and are placed within its range. The strength of its effects is based on the street distance between the affected building and the university. Its full range (dark green) is 43 tiles for
dirt roads and 64 for
paved streets. Its max range (light green) is 108 tiles for dirt roads and 131 for paved streets.
When
Artisan Residences are in the full range of the university, each of them gains 2 inhabitants. When
Engineer Residences are in the full range of the university, each of them gains 6 inhabitants. When
Scholar Residences are in the full range of the university, each of them gains 12 inhabitants and generates 1.2 research points per minute. When residences are outside of the full range but inside the max range they gain less inhabitants (and generate less research points) based on the street distance from the university. Fulfilling the university need does not increase the income generated by the residences.
