Buildings

There are five kinds of buildings, as described below. The development of a building will improve its level, which in turn increases the benefit it provides.

• Hydroponic Farm - increases your population growth. Each level adds +1 to the population's rate of growth/hour (that rate is the + figure next to the word "Population" at the top of the Planets Screen);
• Robotic Factory - increases production growth. Each level adds +1 to a planet's production/hour, which increases the rate at which a player gains points to spend;
• Galactic Cybernet - increases culture growth. Each level adds +1 to the rate/hour by which culture grows in the Science Screen. Culture level is the maximum number of planets a player can own at any one time;
• Research Lab - increases science growth. Each level adds +1 to the rate of science research/hour at the top of the Science Screen;
• Starbase - increases the planet's static defence. Each level raises the defence value of the starbase, making it more difficult to destroy.
