Build Points

Build Points (BP) serve as the primary resource for purchasing upgrades, equipping marines, and constructing structures in the game. Initially provided with a limited quantity of BP, players can accrue more through the following means:
Retrieving BP crates (identified by their purple color) and transporting them to controlled bases (yields 3 BP).
Seizing control of an alien hive (awards 6 BP).
BP finds application in obtaining additional marines via the button in the upper right corner, or by navigating the Training, Research, and Armoury menus in the lower left corner.
An distinctive aspect of Infested Planet in comparison to similar games is the inherent reversibility of actions, which allows players to reclaim the spent BP. Marines can be dismissed, structures can be demolished, and marines equipped with various weapons can be reverted to Riflemen through the Training menu. This flexibility is critical as it empowers players to adapt their strategies and approaches as needed throughout the course of the game.
