"The Lunar Base provides a base of operations for activities on the moon and provides the fields required to construct buildings." - In-game building description.

The Lunar Base is a building built on the moon to make it habitable. Since moons have no atmosphere of their own, all building fields must come from the Lunar Base.

Moons begin with 1 field only, which must always be used for a Lunar Base level 1. Each level of Lunar Base creates 3 additional fields, but occupies one, resulting in an overall gain of +2 available fields. The costs per level are as follows:


Level Ore Cost Crystal Cost Hydrogen Cost Fields (Total Fields)
1 20,000 40,000 20,000 +3 (4)
2 40,000 80,000 40,000 +6 (7)
3 80,000 160,000 80,000 +9 (10)
4 160,000 320,000 160,000 +12 (13)
5 320,000 640,000 320,000 +15 (16)
6 640,000 1,280,000 640,000 +18 (19)
7 1,280,000 2,560,000 1,280,000 +21 (22)

It is important to remember that building the lunar base requires an open building field, so if you have a level 1 Lunar Base, and a level two Capitol (for a total of 3 out of 4 available fields) your next building should be Lunar Base level 2. If you forget this and overbuild, you can use the teardown option on another structure and to free up a field.

The first level of Lunar Base has a build time of 24:00:00. Since it will always be the first building on a new moon, this cannot be modified.
