Structures
Structures are objects that are built on Planets. They range in size from 0 space to 18 space. Structures can improve the planetary defensive stats like Attack, Defense, Cloak, and Population. Some structures will even prevent enemies from attacking the planet.
Structures can also produce resources. The production of Mining Points, Artifact Points, or Research Points 
RP from structures are affected by the level of the Planet Resources. Finally, there are Resource Storage structures that allow you to store higher amounts of Mining Points, Artifact Points, or Research Points.

Planetary Buildings Info
This Page may contain Information that is on other links to this site. But for the benefit of not having to search around forever I am posting Information that is wanted for Planetary Buildings.
In order to get more advanced Defenses, Research Points RP must be spent in the shields branch. In order to get more advanced Minefields, Research Points RP must be spent in the weapons branch. In order to get more advanced satellites, Research Points RP must be spent in the cloaking branch.
Starting Planetary Buildings
Buildings Given Upon Start
The following buildings are available to all players right from the start of the game. They have no research requirements and are very cheap to build. More advanced buildings are much more productive than these starter buildings, but they need to be unlocked by conducting research. They also have significantly higher build costs.
| Name | Size | Cost | Planetary Effect | Space Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orbital Minefield | 2 | 500 CR | Attack +25 | 12.5 Attack Per Space |
| Surface Bunkers | 2 | 500 CR | Defense +25 | 12.5 Defense Per Space |
| Surface Scanner | 4 | 500 CR | Artifact +1 | 0.25 Artifact Per Space |
| Surface Mine | 4 | 500 CR | Mineral +1 | 0.25 Mineral Per Space |
| Research Station | 4 | 500 CR | Research +1 | 0.25 Research Per Space |
Research Tree
This is the list of all the additional structures that can be built on a planet once their research requirements have been met. Press Ctrl + F to search this page for a specific building if you already know its' name.
Population and Resource Structures
Research Tree branch: Planetary Construction
Construction buildings increase the resource production or max population that a planet can hold. Larger production means the planet will produce more per hour, whilst population acts as the "hit points" of a planet; the more population it has, the longer it will survive an attack.

Planet Offense Structures
Research Tree branch: Advanced Weapons
Weapons help to defend your planets, causing damage to enemy ships each time they attack your planet. They also help to reduce the chances of successful enemy invasions (Which can only be attempted if a planet has 10 population or less).

Planet Defense Structures
Research Tree branch: Shield Systems
Shield systems defend your planets, reducing the amount of population killed during attacks. They also help to reduce the chances of successful enemy invasions. Note that the maximum amount of population that will be killed per enemy attack is 20, regardless of how much (or little) shielding a planet has.

Planet Cloaking Structures
Research Tree branch: Stealth Systems
Stealth systems hide your planets from enemy scanners, reducing the chances that they will be found; if an enemy doesn't know about your planet, they can't attack it! Note that planet cloaks are extremely space-inefficient however, and it may actually be better to defend your planet well than to try and prevent enemies from scanning them.
