'''Zones''' and '''areas''' are groups of map tiles, marked by the player. They aren't structures, rather just marked sections of the map for organization and control. | '''Zones''' and '''areas''' are groups of map tiles, marked by the player.

These plants range from food crops, to flowers to improve the environment, to trees to provide wood. Soil fertility and amount of available light strongly influences plant growth, and so are major factors to consider when placing growing zones. Some soil is superfertile (exceeding 100%), and will yield crops at a better than normal rate. |
Growing zones are less efficient than [[hydroponics basin|hydroponics]], therefore it is advisable to move food production to hydroponics when it becomes available. | Growing zones are less efficient than [[hydroponics basin|hydroponics]], therefore it is advisable to move food production to hydroponics when it becomes available. | ||

Items and locations outside of a colonist's allowed area are considered forbidden to them. When pathing, colonists take the shortest path within their allowed area. If there's no path within their allowed area, they may leave the allowed area to take the shortest path. A hunter will not hunt animals that are outside of his or her allowed area. Firefighters will not extinguish fire that is not both in the home area and inside their allowed area. |

Inverting an area allows a player to effectively paint the entire map except for the area as drawn by the player. If no other path is available, colonists may still travel through disallowed areas, but they will not interact with any objects or perform any tasks there. |

The [[Home area]] tool is very important - colonists won't fight fires or repair objects outside the home area. Home areas can be set to auto-generate around player built objects and structures, and can be toggled via the house icon in the lower right of the screen; this setting is on by default. | The [[Home area]] tool is very important - colonists won't fight fires or repair objects outside the home area.

You may want to manually compel a constructor pawn to do the job in a timely manner, or cancel other higher priority construction jobs. When removing a wall supporting roofs, make sure that the roof has been removed before the wall. This sequence is not an automatic priority. |
