Shipyard

Le risorse diventano potenza.

What it does

Costruisce navi e difese planetarie più in fretta a ogni livello.

Il cantiere trasforma l'economia in trasporti, sonde, difese e potenza offensiva. Senza di esso la crescita resta locale.

What it enables

Sblocca navi più potenti, la produzione di difese e la progressione verso il Cantiere Orbitale.

Building time depends on the planet’s Robotics Factory and Nanite Factory levels and on the universe speed, so it is not a fixed number.

Cost per level

Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×2, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.

How each race builds it

The four races share the same building rules but not the same hardware — each one names and renders it differently, and applies its own combat multipliers from its race profile.
