BioEden Ecosystem and Pollution Guide
Balance BioEden ecosystem restoration against pollution created by buildings and energy networks.
Answer first
Quick Answer
Treat every expansion as a tradeoff: add only the structure that unlocks the next restoration step, then check planet well-being before building again.

Quick Answer
Every expansion has a cost. The official FAQ says buildings and energy networks help exploration and purification but also push pollution upward. Add the smallest structure that enables the next restoration outcome, then check planet well-being.
Use a simple ledger: what the building enables, what network demand it adds, what pollution change appears, and whether recycling it would preserve the objective. This keeps expansion tied to ecosystem value instead of map coverage.

Quick Start
Build for one restoration outcome, inspect the planet response, then decide whether another structure is justified.
Area Walkthrough
Positive and negative impact
The official FAQ says each action can affect planet well-being positively or negatively.
Infrastructure tradeoff
Buildings and energy networks enable purification but nudge pollution upward.
Recovery
Recycling makes placement reversible, supporting deliberate experimentation.
Next Area
Recycle low-value structures and direct capacity to the next habitat.
