Overview

On the lower left is a block called “Completed Structures”. This displays everything that is already built on this planet.

On the right you see an empty block called “Structure Queue”. This displays all the buildings that are being built at this moment such as queued buildings.

Under this block, you find a block with a complete list of buildings you are allowed to build. Some buildings require other structures to be buid first. You can find a complete list of all buildings in the game on the building list where also a techtree is available.

Building

Requirements

  1. Check you have enough resources to build the structure
  2. Check you have enough unoccupied workers that are needed to build the structur
  3. Check your energy incomming per turn can support the new structur
  4. Select the structur out of the list
  5. Click "Build structure"

The structur is now moved to the "building queue" block. Next to the structur name you can see the remaining turns for building the structur.

Note: If there are no remaining turns listed, the structure is not being build at all due to lack of at least one of the requirements listed above.

Queue Lengh

Form the beginning, you can queue up to 3 buildings in your structur queue. This allows in the beginning stage of the game to have a peaceful sleep while building doesn't need to stop. Later, you can increase you building queue by researching Queue Lengh x (=> research).

Cancel building

You can cancel structures that are in the building queue by setting their "queue order" to 0. Also buildings that are currently building will be cancelt and removed from the structur queue this way. The resources of a cancelt structure will be given back to your resource stock.

Reorder structure queue

If you notice that you'd prefer to build a structure before another one but you didn't queue it that way, you can change the build order. You just need to change the "queue order" numbers next to the buildings and click "Reorder". If you also change the queue order for the building currently build, the building will be cancel and set to its new place in the structure queue.

Demolish

Some structures in the game can be demolished to gain place for new structures, for example replace 2 Metal Mines with a metal income of 300 each by a Core Metal Mine which has an income of 900 metal per turn. In the building list you can find what buildings can be demolished and the turns demolishing will take.

How to demolish?

Structures on your planet that you can demolish can easily be recognized by the (X) sign next to their name.

You demolish structures by clicking the (X). The structure will now be shown on your structure queue and marked with (destroy).

Notes

  • You can only demolish Living Quarters and Habitats if there is still be enough housing for your population.
  • You can only demolish Farms and Hydroponics Labs if there will still be enough food produced per turn to feed your population.
  • You can only demolish Solar Generator or Solar Array if there'll still be enough energy produced each turn to entertain all structures built on the planet.
  • Demolition of structures yeilds in no return of resources This needs to be Verified by the game designers
