Facilities

Facilities are the colony's industry. The Robotics Bay and Nanite Assembler cut construction times over on Resources and here; the Shipyard fabricates every ship and every emplacement; the Laboratory is where research runs, and its level is what the deeper technologies wait on. The Terraformer grows new buildable fields when the planet runs out of room.

The last three entries stand on a moon, not a planet: the Lunar Base founds a moon's works, and the Sensor Array and Jump Gate build on top of it.

	Name	Base cost	Growth per level	What it does
	Robotics Bay	400 Iron, 120 Carbon, 200 Hydrogen	×2	Construction robots that cut every build time on the colony.
	Nanite Assembler	1,000,000 Iron, 500,000 Carbon, 100,000 Hydrogen	×2	Nanomachine swarms that halve build times per level.
	Shipyard	400 Iron, 200 Carbon, 100 Hydrogen	×2	Assembles hulls and emplacements; every unit passes through it.
	Laboratory	200 Iron, 400 Carbon, 200 Hydrogen	×2	Where the colony studies; higher levels open deeper technologies.
	Terraformer	50,000 Carbon, 100,000 Hydrogen	×2	Grows new buildable fields out of dead ground.
	Coalition Depot	20,000 Iron, 40,000 Carbon	×2	Supplies allied fleets holding in orbit.
	Launch Silo	20,000 Iron, 20,000 Carbon, 1,000 Hydrogen	×2	Stores and launches interplanetary and interceptor missiles.
	Orbital Dock	200 Iron, 50 Hydrogen	×5	Salvages wrecked hulls back into service.
	Lunar Base	20,000 Iron, 40,000 Carbon, 20,000 Hydrogen	×2	Founds a moon's own colony works — every later moon building stands on it.
	Sensor Array	20,000 Iron, 40,000 Carbon, 20,000 Hydrogen	×2	Scans nearby systems for fleet movement from a moon's own vantage.
	Teleporter	2,000,000 Iron, 4,000,000 Carbon, 2,000,000 Hydrogen	×2	A fleet steps between two of your colonies that both hold one, and never pays the distance.
