1. Construction Lab
Dispatches engineering crews to grade roads ($5K/12m dirt, $10K/12m asphalt) and construct facilities. L2 upgrade ($75K) cuts build times by 50%; L3 upgrade costs $650K.
INDUSTRIAL BASE SIMULATION
EARLY BASE INFRASTRUCTURE & BUILDINGS
Every rocket mission relies on a solid industrial foundation on Earth. Master construction labs, progress queues, power balances, and automated logistics networks.
CENTRAL LOGISTICS COMPLEX
The operational hub directing construction materials, solar power fields, and progress queues.
CORE FACILITIES & COSTS
THE EIGHT PRIMARY SECTOR BUILDINGS
2. Research Center
Houses aerospace engineers researching Energy Systems, Propulsion Nodes, and Satellite payloads. L2 upgrade costs $950K for advanced flight tech.
3. Photovoltaic Solar Fields
Provides initial MW clean solar generation ($100K per array) to power early research labs and test facilities. L2/L3 efficiency upgrades cost $50K–$100K.
4. Grid Battery Station
Stores surplus electrical energy (15% grid battery capacity ratio) to maintain uninterrupted research during weather events and solar night cycles.
5. Component Factory
Manufactures structural steel, cryogenic valves, and wiring required for high-tier propellant synthesis and test stands.
6. Propellant Plant
Synthesizes and chills liquid oxygen and RP-1 kerosene propellant for 60-second engine qualification hot-fire firings. L2 tanks cost $260K for +100.0 storage.
7. Satellite Factory
Assembles Earth-observation and communication satellite payloads for early revenue orbital launches.
8. Logistics Hub & Ocean Pier
Automates truck transport along paved roads ($1.85M hub). Features the $3.2M Rocket Assembly Building and $5.2M offshore Ocean Launch Pier.
FACTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE Q&A
BUILDINGS & POWER SYSTEM FAQ
What are the costs of dirt vs paved asphalt roads?
Dirt roads cost $5,000 per 12-meter unit. Paved asphalt roads cost $10,000 per 12-meter unit and significantly increase supply truck delivery speed across Sector 47.
How much does the Ocean Launch Pier cost in Chapter 9 & 10?
The offshore Ocean Launch Pier costs $5.2M (900s build duration), supported by a $3.2M Rocket Assembly Building, a $3.0M Ocean Launch Pad, and $2.2M Cryogenic Storage Tanks.
How do Construction Lab upgrades accelerate building times?
Upgrading the Construction Lab to Level 2 ($75K) speeds up construction by 50%. Level 3 upgrade ($650K) enables rapid deployment of heavy infrastructure.
