Capitol

The Capitol is your planet's main settlement. It is where all of your buildings are built. By upgrading your Capitol and by assigning workers (Builders and Build Droids) to the Capitol, you can increase the speed at which new buildings and upgrades to existing buildings are completed.

The time it takes to build any building is based on the following formula:

Time(hours) =

Ore Cost + Crystal Cost 2500*(1+Capitol Level)

Cost and Effect

Level	Ore Cost	Crystal Cost	Deuterium Cost	New Build Time %
1	400	120	200	50.00
2	800	240	400	33.33
3	1,600	480	800	25.00
4	3,200	960	1,600	20.00
5	6,400	1,920	3,200	16.67
6	12,800	3,840	6,400	14.29
7	25,600	7,680	12,800	12.50
8	51,200	15,360	25,600	11.11
9	102,400	30,720	51,200	10.00
10	204,800	61,440	102,400	9.09
11	409,600	122,880	204,800	8.33
12	819,200	245,760	409,600	7.69
13	1,638,400	491,520	819,200	7.14
14	3,276,800	983,040	1,638,400	6.67
15	6,553,600	1,966,080	3,276,800	6.25

So a building that cost a combined 5,000 ore and crystal would take 2 hours with level 0 Capitol, 1 hour with a Level 1 Capitol, and 40 minutes with a Level 2 Capitol, etc.
