Structure
Structures are the physical facilities for your planet. You can build more then one of each and they can be destroyed in attacks with structure killers and by covert operations. Each structure has it's own function and this is reflected in their cost and construction time. Some races are better at building structures than others and thus picking a strategy in advance is very important.
Building Structures
There are a number of different structures and the function of which ranges from allowing you to scan hostile planets to building ships and from raising your alert to raising your income. Each structure has a certain cost and building time associated with it.
The number of constructions you can have is limited by your level of infrastructure research. The maximum number of constructions is 250.
Building Types
There are 11 types of structures in Planetarion.
Light Factory
This enables Production of Fighter and Corvette Ship Class Spacecraft. Having more factories allows you to produce ships faster. You need to research Fighter Class Hulls for this construction to be operational.
Medium Factory
This enables Production of Frigate and Destroyer Ship Class Spacecraft. Having more factories allows you to produce ships faster. You need to research Frigate Class Hulls for this construction to be operational.
Heavy Factory
This enables Production of Cruiser and Battleship Ship Class Spacecraft. Having more factories allows you to produce ships faster. You need to research Siege Weapons for this construction to be operational.
Wave Amplifier
This increases the strength of your waves making them more likely to succeed and allows you to scan targets with more Wave Distorters.
Wave Distorter
This decreases the strength of incoming waves making them less likely to succeed. If you have 5 Distorters, you cannot be scanned by people with 4 or fewer Amplifiers.
Metal Refinery
Each Metal Refinery will extract 1000 units of metal per tick.
Crystal Refinery
Each Crystal Refinery will extract 1000 units of crystal per tick.
Eonium Refinery
Each Eonium Refinery will extract 1000 units of eonium per tick.
Research Laboratory
These increase the efficiency of your research by a percentage decided by your ratio of Research Labs / Total Constructions. Maximum bonus is reached at 20 %, which you can obtain by having 1 Research Laboratory for every 5 structures.
Finance Centre
Finance Centers will optimize the resource-flow, adding 0.5% to your income per Finance Centre. You cannot build more than 60 of them.
Security Center
Security Centres help against hostile Covert Operations, raising your normal alert level. Maximum alert increase is reached at 30%, which you can obtain by having 3 Security Center for every 10 structures.
