Special Buildings
Special Buildings are gained from artifacts, blue prints, or other rewards. So they are not gained by research but by other means. Be it a mission, artifact points, tier reward, or NPC. As such they give more than one type of bonus or a bonus that is hard to get.

The Buildings
As of the current time, every special building takes up a certain size on the planet, in exchange for the bonuses it bestows.
Artifact Buildings
These are buildings gained from Artifact points or Galaxy Points. So no missions grant them. But given their nature, they are the most commonly found buildings on a planet.

Blueprint Buildings
