Stellaris how to build your habitat

In this guide, we will explain how you can create your own habitat in Stellaris and what you need to do to do it?

How to build a Stellaris habitat?

Basic moments

The game features three different types of habitat

Basic actions:

• In order to build a new habitat, you first need to research it in your research tree.
• To begin with, it is desirable to improve the research of your engineering base in order to speed up the search for a new habitat structure.
• Once you have completed the required research, you will be able to create a habitat that will look at any planet in any given sector of the galaxy.
• When building a new habitat, you need to remember that it will reflect the planet below it. (To illustrate this with an example, if you create a planet-facing habitat with energy credits, you will be able to build a generator on that habitat.)
• Likewise, you won't be able to have a mineral generator unless your habitat comes out on a mineral-based planet.

How much does it cost to build a habitat?

• To build an Orbital Habitat, you need to spend 150 Influence and 1500 Alloy. This habitat will take 1800 days to create and will have a population of 4.
• To build the Habitat Expansion, you will need 1000 Alloys. It will take 720 days to build and will have a population of 6.
• For advanced space housing, you will have to spend 1000 alloys. This habitat will take 1440 days to create and will have a population of 8.

Why build a habitat?

As you progress in Stellaris, you will find that the expansion will be quite difficult. You will find that it is much easier to build a new habitat than to go and conquer another empire. Building a new habitat will also make it easier for you to help your citizens find housing. Another great benefit of creating a habitat in Stellaris is that you can avoid unnecessary conflicts with other empires and also constantly expand your territory.
