    Looks good to me. The title is hilariously similar to a post that mentioned the desire for such a feature.

    Wow, the rent thing is really interesting. I'd definitely think about the whole "tech screen" on walls as a means of gameplay though. While they get the job done, they sometimes seem out of place being used so much and can really tend to clutter up your view. Either way, I'm happy you guys are really going in depth with colonization. It's something I think a lot of developers skip over.

    Yes! I can't wait to see all the apartments and hotels to come from this!

    Some other development happenings:
    • Rosiedeux tweeted a video today of schools of fish in Ocean biomes, that Tiyuri worked on.
    • Avian Air Booster was added. It is like the flame traps, except it gives you the low gravity status.
    • Jump Pad was added. It is a wireable object that is exactly what it sounds like. (And more actually, see here for details) (video here)
    • The "creepy crawly monster baby" from Friday's blog has been named "Ixoling" (after the boss "Ixodoom") and now spawns with that boss instead of the placeholder glitch spiders. (Ixodoom Album updated)

    Will colonies work on pre-generated structures? I imagine they will, since they might have the requirments, but still, not sure.

    So do we get to go to court, serve an eviction notice, and then evict non-paying tenants? Charge extra if they have pets?

    What would be really funny is if the tenants don't pay, and there is a penalty system for not paying rent.

    I'm curious how often rent is paid, and what influences the rates.

    Can we uhh... "persuade" shop owners to let go of their business and stick a renting sign inside it?

    Don't pay the rent? TRIAL BY COMBAT (oh wait, to the DEATH DOME!)

    Anyway, I wish those peeps could even say something to me after collecting their rent, then if that guy did well in my colony, let me reward him/her with my foods.

    Been looking forward to this feature, should hopefully give more reason to actually pick a "homeworld" to develop.

    And about that whole tenant satisfaction thing.

    I like how the wall panel displays the tenant's mood. Wallmojis!

    Mirror the buildings to get double your money! Maximize funds by placing the wall panels in apartment corners such that you go past four at a time!

    On a side note, does rent accumulate as it waits for you to collect it or is it a flat amount that shows up before you gather it? How "on time" in rent collection does a landlord have to be to maximize his earnings?
