IXION Mid to Late Game Sector Layouts - All Sectors Guide Tutorial Tips

After 185+ hours in IXION, these are the mid-to-late game sector layouts I broke the in game economy with.

I have all 6 sectors open in my Tiqqun. Sector 1 is my space sector - this sector has Space Specialization Tier 2 and functions as the main hull repair hub of the station. Sector 2 is my industry sector - this sector has Industry Specialization Tier 1 and functions as the industrial heart of the station. Sector 3 is my population sector - this sector has Population Specialization Tier 2 and functions as the living quarters of all the non-workers and colonists on board the Tiqqun, in addition to providing the Exo Fighting Dome for the station. Sector 4 is my food sector - this sector as Food Specialization Tier 1 and use a setup of 4 crop farms, which is more than sufficient to supply the entire population on board the station. Sector 5 is my utility sector which functions as a jack-of-all-trades sector. Sector 6 is my recycling sector - this sector has Recyling Specialization Tier 2 which is a rather hard specialization to unlock due to space constraints - but I even managed to fit a Nuclear Power Plant in this sector.

Note that there may be spoilers in the video.

Thank you to Kasedo Games and Bulwark Games for providing me with a press key for the game!

It is pleasing to the eyes as well...lol.
Also really love how you provide a grid layout of the areas. Very nice.

[vicmcquire]

You get my Like and Sub, excellent video, well explained and great voice. Came here from JD recommend who's also superb. Keep it going fella, i know it takes a lot of time and effort to put vids together.

[Jules_Diplopia]

Great guide, and the google sheets are so helpful. Of course I am designing mine differently, but it is always good to see what I might improve.

[GorgieGus]

Ooooh, I do love a spreadsheet layout. Nice work dude.

If you've got upgraded steel mills then storing iron is better than alloy. Same for carbon vs polymer.
I've also used less quarters in my living space sector to fit a health center there instead of in sector 1.
The spot in sector 1 is replaced with 3 domotic quarters and one hull temple. This leaves more room in the middle for other things such as storage and/or batteries.
Have as close to 50% of the population in each sector live in cell housing. They produce more waste per person. Means you can run the water treatment center more and not spend time gathering ice.

Beautiful layout. I just got the game a few days ago and I'm looking at this as a way to optimize. Thanks so much!

[IndyIndie]

Thank you for this guide and for providing the file. It is very much appreciated. I look forward to implementing them in my game.

[prousehouse]

I rewatched this because i couldnt get the fusion station to process water fast enough pulled out the drone pad and the other pad below it and put in a second fusion station. That worked until i got all the upgrades. Thanks for this video made tye game a lot more enjoyable.

Did you know you can Build wall mounted over top of the Sector Sign
In a Sector next to the one you want to build in pick the wall mounted building then move across to the Sector you want to build over the Sign and it will let you

[sgailgaming]

In sector two, I've always had a bug where the top left of the sector has one square used as an "occupied building space." So, I won't be able to place the first space dock in that spot. I'd love to know if there is a fix for this. I'd love to know it.

[calencor]

i have a different setup that maximizes and achieves all level 2 specializations in my sector utilizing only 4 sectors. Sector 1 - Population tier 2; Sector 2 - Food and Recycling T2, Sector 3 - Space Tier 2; Sector 4 - Industry Tier 2

[Daedwartin]

If you are wondering what the downside to restricted food is, if you have it running eventually people will demand it be set to gourmet for a period.

You may enjoy reading the Galaxy's edge series. Especially the savage wars. The savages escaped Earth they were basically the liberal rich class and they fled Earth in gigantic ships void ships. Thousands of years later when they reencountered humanity which had expanded into space because of faster than light travel they had all turned into insane unique powermad societies of savages. It's quite an interesting read

[Hirschi]

Excellent guide, thank you very much for that. One question though: I don't see any Alternative Live Centers in your layouts. Is there really no need for them?
Edit: Oh, I see one in the industrial sector. But with 3 Domotic Housing you don't even reach 400 population in that sector for the 1st +1 Stability not to mention 800 for the +2 bonus. Did I miss something important? :)

[Rock]

I've been trying to figure this out for a while, how does one hide the UI in the game? I've wanted to share screenshots with friends but I've had to print screen to avoid the hud elements

[Sungak_A]

Looking forward to seeing how this lasts through the rest of the game.

[maxterhex]

nice layout, but I personally like spread people between sectors to get that juicy +2 stability bonus from 800+ pops in sector. And why all on youtube so much love crop farms instead algae?

[Radcliff-]

Thanks for the spreadsheets!! Will you be doing walkthroughs for the events in the other chapters?

[cristyzaharia]

I haven't played Ixion in a year, I used to divide my sectors by specializations too, but they were never that organized due to resources or situations, I'll reinstall it and try to finish it again, I hope for good than the last time 😅

[alexringess]

I don't know where you find the time to do this amount of videos while playing the game lol !
Maybe you unfreezed a popsicle made of Caledorn during the playthrough ?
