Lunar Base

"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 4 additional fields, but occupies one, resulting in an overall gain of +3 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.
