Buildings

Constructing and upgrading buildings are a requirement to improving your gameplay and developing your overall planet. Each building has its own unique purpose and some even have their own special options.

## Academy

The academy is where you can recruit, manage, and train your heroes.

Manage Heroes: This tab is where you can see every hero you currently have recruited. Through this page you can access said heroes, manually give them exp, upgrade their hero skills, and enhance them.

Hero Recruit: This is where you can recruit Normal, Veteran, Legendary, Magellan and special event heroes. This is also where you can see your current hero mileage which is a reward system based of recruiting heroes that will grant you a free random S grade hero once you reach a score of 200,000 (the score granted per hero recruited is directly correlated to the level of the admin hero you have assigned to this building). You also get free Normal and Veteran hero pulls periodically throughout the day at set time intervals between free recruitments. (Can also be affected by hero set as admin).

Manage Hero List: This is where you can view every S grade hero currently in the game.

## Command Center

The command center is your main base of operations. Here you can direct the overall policies by with you rule and develop you councils to help your planet grow. Upgrading this building rewards you with the ability to upgrade all other buildings and additional policy points.

Policy: This is where you can access the 8 different policies available in the game (only 4 can be active at a time)

Council: This is where you send all your unwanted heroes to increase any of your 5 councils

## Dark Matter Plant

The dark matter plant is where you can refine a portion of your dark matter into even more dark matter at the cost of some gold and time.

## Embassy

The embassy is your direct connection to your federation. On top of regulating the maximum amount of support troops you can hold and help you can both give and receive from you federation, this building directly correlates to the amount of resources you can be sent in a day.

## E.M.U. Emporium

The E.M.U. emporium is your one-stop shop for anything you might want to stock up on. Using crystals you can purchase just about anything you will need for daily tasks or on-going projects.

## Exchange Center

The exchange center is your best option for obtaining much needed resources, speed up and much more if you are on a budget. If you're lucky, you can get essential items on discounts as high as 75%! ('Heiress' Anna required)

Exchange: Selecting this option brings you inside the exchange center where you can see a randomly assorted collection of items ranging from speed ups, resources, and many more. You are limited to the amount of free refreshes you have as well as the amount of items presented on each listing. Finding the right hero can give you more refreshes as well as item listings.

Free Item: Clicking this option grants you a free item(s). You can receive more free items incrementally throughout the day but the time to wait to receive a free gift gradually increases throughout the day and so does the quality of the reward given.

## Flagship Factory

The flagship factory is one of your most important buildings. Here you can see all flagships current in the game and construct/promote those currently available to you. This is also where you will be craft, enhancing and promoting your flagship equipment as well as assigning crews to your flagships (T6 flagship required).

Manage Flagship: This option is where you can slide through and see every flagship in the game and manage the ones you own or can currently build. You can also select the manage or craft equipment options from here. When you select a flagship you can adjust the flagship equipment modules, upgrade the flagship, promote the flagship and it skills or even scrap the flagship entirely.

Manage Equipment: This option sends you straight to you equipment inventories where you can view all 5 of the unique equipment slot types (weapon, armor, engine, support and interceptor) and promote, enhance or disassemble any equipment you like. You can also access the "Craft Equipment" option from this screen.

Flagship Special Skill: This option takes you to where you can adjust your flagships crew. Managing your flagships crew is important because it can grant your flagship and fleet extra buffs in battle. Keep in mind that this does make the heroes you assign as crew unusable in planet attacks or defenses because they have been assigned in the same way you would assign an admin to be a minister in a building. (This tab is mainly only useful if you have any Tier 6 flagships. Anything lower will not qualify.)

## Fleet Factory

The fleet factory is where you can construct all 4 ship types and all ship tiers that you have unlocked. It is also where you can see what level building you will require to unlock the next tier(s) of ship and what color they will be.

Build: This option is where you can see and build all 4 ship types. The resources required to construct 1 batch is displayed once you click into one of the 4 ship types and you can also see which building level is required for which tiers. You can also see how much of your ship capacity is currently in use.

## Metal Mine

The metal mine is one of your automated facilities that continuously generated metal for you as long as it hasn't reached it's maximum capacity. Once it reaches it's maximum capacity it will no longer produce metal until it has been collected.

Collect: This option collects all the metal currently stored in the facility. (Maximum metal production as well as capacity for this facility can be increased by certain hero skills.)

## Radar

The radar is your best chance of finding specific level pirates, pirate bases, and resource tiles. Your search radius and amount of times you can search is directly related to the level of your radar but can also be affected by other factors such as the admin you assign or your VIP level.

Control Tower: This option takes you to your radar screen where you can see things such as players in your federation hosting rallies, players in your federation who are attack or being attacked/scouted by other planets and harvest fleets that are being being scouted/attacked.

## Repair Facility

The repair facility is where you go to repair any damaged ships you may have.

Repair: Selecting this option takes you into the repair bay so that you can see and select how much of your damaged ships you want to repair.

## Research Facility

The research facility is arguably your most important building since it greatly influences all aspects of your gameplay.

Research: This is where you can access all 6 sections of unique research. (Planetary Development, Fleet Management, Ship Research, Formation, Crux Technology, and Flagship Research)

## Resource Facility

The resource facility is also extremally important since it directly affects how many resources your planet can hold and how much of it can be kept safe under a certain threshold. It can even make one of your resources untouchable from attacker for a short period of time. (Amount of total capacity and protected resources can be affected by certain hero skills.)

Concealment: Concealment is a unique building skill that makes a resource type of your choice 100% protected from attacks for a specific amount of time. (The time of concealment can be affected by certain hero skills.)

## Residence

The residence one of your automated facilities to continuously produces gold until it's maximum capacity is reached. Once it reaches it's maximum capacity it will no longer produce gold until it has been collected.

Collect: This option collects all the gold being held at the facility, allowing for more gold to be produces. (Maximum gold production and capacity for this facility can be affected by certain hero skills.)

## Ship Enhancement Facility

The ship enhancement facility is where you go to level up the armor, engine, or weapon levels of any of your four ship types.

Ship Enhance: Clicking this option puts you inside the facility where you can individually upgrade either the armor, engine, or weapon slots of your frigates, destroyers, cruisers, or battleships. You can also select which of your enhancement setups your like to use on default (max of 5 different enhancement setups).

## Space Dock

The space dock is where you can go to increase your fleet capacity, preset fleet setups, and assign a defense for when your planet is attacked.

Organize Fleet: This is where you can access all 5 of your fleet preset options and adjust them however and whenever you like.

Defense Settings: This is where you go to assign a hero a flagship to lead your troops in combat if your planet is attacked. It is also where you can see how many ships you have at your disposal as well as choose which of your enhancement resets to apply to them all.

## Thonium Plant

The thonium plant is where you can take some of the thonium you have om planet and refine it into more thonium. This cost time and gold but can more than double the amount your refine depending on the level of your building and minister.

Refine: This option allows you to refine a set amount of thonium into more thonium. (Thonium output and refinement speed can be affected by appointed minister and research.)

## Trade Center

The trade center is where you can view all the faction progress you have made for all 6 trade planets. It is also where you can access the trade shop and upgrade your trade vessels.

Trade Progress: This is where you can see the faction progress of every trade planet. From this screen you can also access the trade shop where you can trade Trade Tokens for unique items only sold at each trade planet. From this screen you can also access the trade vessel screen which will allow you to increase your trade vessels level which can decrease their travel time, and increase faction and trade token gain per box. (These options can be further improved with certain minister skills.)

## Warp Gate

The warp gate is one of the most diverse facilities you have on your planet. From this building you can search and sweep wanted posters, you can access the Dimensional Rift, and you can enter the Arena. You will also use this building to access event specific dimensional rifts and wanted posters.

Simply clicking on this building will navigate you to all the option at your current disposal within that building.
