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.
