-====== How Settlements and Projects Work ======
-Hubs and Cities are Settlements: they are commissioned with an initial delivery, consume Food once active, gain levels and turn non-Food cargo into long-term choices through their Reserve.
-===== How do levels and slots work? =====
-A Settlement starts at level 1 after commissioning. Higher levels cost non-Food cargo, increase Food demand and unlock slots. The level itself takes no slot, and upgrading an existing project keeps its slot.
-^ Level ^ Hub slots ^ City Project slots ^ Institution seats ^
-| 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
-| 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
-| 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
-Hubs choose up to three of six project types. Cities choose two City Projects plus, at level 3, one separate server-wide Institution. This scarcity is intentional: a region specialises instead of checking every box.
-===== What can a Hub build? =====
-^ Project ^ Scope ^ Main effect ^
-| Survey Station | Region, one per region | Unlocks Tier 2 / Tier 3 rumor access. |
-| Checkpoint | Region, one per region | Raises Security and its floor. |
-| Maintenance Works | Region, one per region | Sources produce faster. |
-| Dispatch Office | Region, one per region | Enables and expands regional AI supply. |
-| Forward Airfield | Local, any Hub | Rearm/refuel, then player start location. |
-Maintenance Works requires three commissioned regional Sources. Dispatch Office needs Settlement level 2, 75% regional Security and 60% Trust; it keeps operating if Security subsequently falls. Forward Airfield needs level 2. A Dispatch Office crosses region borders only after the Air Logistics Command exists.
-===== What can a City build? =====
-^ Project ^ Effect ^
-| Civic Administration | Trust recovery in the region is 25% / 50% faster. |
-| Civil Defense Office | Inbound unrest spread is halved / quartered. |
-| Regional Depot | Every regional Source holds 2 / 4 more crates. |
-Regional Depot pauses during unrest; the other two keep working. It increases capacity, not restart base stock.
-===== What are Institutions? =====
-One level-3 City seat can host one of eight world-wide Institutions. They are long-term shared builds paid mainly in Building Materials and Industrial Parts: Cartography Institute, Air Logistics Command, Standards Bureau, Reconstruction Fund, Airspace Command, Public Works Office, Flight Academy and Sameba Cathedral. [[reference:projects-and-institutions|Projects and Institutions]] lists their prerequisites and effects.
-The Cathedral is unique: it can only stand in Tbilisi after five other Institutions and is the campaign finish line. [[guides:build-a-settlement-project|Build a Settlement Project]] explains the F10 workflow and demolition.
