Starting in 0.58.0, select structures (like the research labs) will require a certain IQ for employment. There will also be new structures added that give IQ, like schools.

This will apply to new employees. Existing employees will not be fired for being too stupid.

To prepare, you can build some Internet Relay Booths which will improve IQ. And once the update hits, be sure to build a few schools to smarten up your population!

aa I am home schooling mine lol

Thanks for the heads up! Nice additional layer to consider and plan for I think - like trash was.

how to get them in school
I have one built, and staff, but no one is joining them to learn
how to do that

Well it's still being worked out, but generally the schooling is not something you force them into. They will only attend school if they can't get a job, and when they are students, they are out of the labor force. So if a colonist is a student, they will not work.

Ahh so thatz why my schools where fuller when my employment was lower

Plus every school has a minimum iq requirement

It says that Arcology provides an IQ of 100. So why does my colony has an average IQ of 75?
1. Does the Arcology knows that it should be schooling the residence?
2. So as I understood the only schooling what is necessary is the community college. Is that right?
3. To have a better housing structure – should the college be near the Arcology and the workplace or is the schooling a one time thing an it should be enough to have one center college schooling area?

Nobody a clue to my 3 Questions?

I'll do my best, it's just on my experience, Bast is still working on the kinks of this rollout.

1. Not sure, my IQ bounces around a lot as well. If I have a few thousand (a few percent) unemployed, I've seen it go up to 129, if everyone is at work, it falls back into the high 70s... -shrug-
2. I think you need them all but am not sure. If your average is 75, presumably that doesn't mean everyone is. Having them all means they can progress up even if really dumb.
3. To me, it does not appear to be a one time thing. My IQ fluctuates too much for it to be a one time thing...though I think it should. I'm not sure if distance matters.

Hope that helps some, I'd like more clarification on how education works too.

Cheers!
