Development decisions

Development decisions are a special group of decisions linked to the states a nation currently occupies. Their outcome consists of two parts, one where the outcome is known (and shown), and the other one is an event, whose outcome depends on the level of the associated technology the owner currently has. The list separates decisions based on outcome types and starting territories.

Special Development decisions

This section contains development like decisions. This means that they have the flag Not: Development Underway as one of their prerequisites and can not be completed simultaneously with other developments. These decisions are characterized by being tied to owning a certain territory and usually appear in the Operations tab when it's possible to complete them. The decisions require some amount of civilian factories and take a long time.

The Garita Caldera

This decision is located in the Circle Junction territory at the start of the game. It takes 180 days of 2 civilian factories usage, 200 manpower and 50 PP.

Requirements:

• Owns and controls: La Garita, Circle Junction
• More manpower than 200
• 50 PP
• Has researched Steam Powered Extraction (tier 3)

Rewards:

• + 200.00k Bottle Caps
• Circle Junction (state) +1850 manpower

Trivia

Sky Reavers territory:

Has access to decision that has a 33% chance to spawn another Reactivate military base (supposedly it never happened for me)
