HUMANS - BUILDINGS

As already mentioned, the first alien that can be activated belongs to the HUMANS race as a primitive race. Their characteristics are specified in the Alien Characteristics section

Once the race has been activated, you have access to the first LIFEFORM section, through the button on the menu, throug the section relating to the specific structures of this race.

The LifeForms structures DO NOT occupy planet spaces, some require energy, others require a minimum amount of resident aliens to be activated or a certain amount of energy produced on the planet

The importance of developing an abundant population of this species derives from the fact that, the more inhabitants reside on the planet, the more their structures and research can be unlocked and consequently the greater the bonuses that can be obtained

The bonuses obtained by developing these buildings only affect the planet on which they are being built

The speed of construction is influenced by the level of development achieved by the Nanite Factory on that planet

Given the above, it is therefore not possible to put LifeForms buildings under construction while the development of the Nanite Factory is underway and, of course, vice versa

For the HUMANS race the constructions are as follows:

HUMANS - RICERCHE

Unlocking Humans' researches allows you to have access to their EIGHTEEN researches that grant bonuses and improvements in almost all the fundamental sectors of the game.

To have access to Humans research you need to develop the Research Center in the LifeForm section

The research page can be accessed by clicking on the icon next to the LF section

To be developed, each research requires the achievement of a specific number of resident aliens belonging to the same training level of the block.

Therefore BLOCK 1 needs a certain amount of HUMANS T1, Humans T2 give access to the researches of BLOCK 2, each of these finally, BLOCK 3 needs a certain number of HUMANS with T3 training

Technologies for which the minimum population requirement has not been met appear hidden by a padlock on a black background

Once the required population level has been reached, it is possible to activate the search. It may belong to the race that is developing on the planet or even to another race. Further information regarding randomisations can be found in the appropriate section of the guide

Researches can only be unlocked in sequence, i.e. you cannot unlock, for example, first, a T2 research, even if you meet the requirements. You must first unlock all of BLOCK 1

Unblocking a research does not mean having developed it, in fact it appears at level ZERO.

For example, the first unlockable HUMANS quest is INTERGALACTC ENVOYS. Once unlocked, it will not be possible to proceed with explorations in search of aliens if, first, it has not been developed at least to level 1

The Roman numerals that appear in the upper part of the image of the search, inform the player that he will find it in another or other blocks

Indicates that the first available research of this type has been unlocked and that it will be found in another block, identical but more advanced

Indicates that the first available research of this type has been unlocked and that in each of the other two blocks it is present, identical, but more advanced

The absence of numbering indicates that the only research of this type available has been unlocked

Research cannot be developed if the Research Center is being upgraded on the planet and vice versa

Research developed on a planet is disseminated throughout the Empire, so all planets will enjoy the researched effects, as long as, of course, the race remains active on that planet

This means that if he develops a research that grants, for example, 0.3% bonus on metal, he will grant it not only on the planet he develops on, but on the production of all planets.

ROCK'TAL - BUILDINGS

Rock'Tal can only be activated after exploring the galaxies and encountering this species, that is, after developing the first research of the Humans. Their characteristics are specified in the Alien Characteristics section

Only after activating this race, you have access to their LIFEFORM section, through the button on the menu, or the section relating to the specific structures of this race.

LifeForms structures DO NOT occupy planet spaces, only some require energy, others require a minimum amount of resident aliens to be activated or a certain amount of energy produced on the planet

The importance of developing an abundant population of this species derives from the fact that the more inhabitants reside on the planet, the more their structures and research can be unlocked and consequently the greater the bonuses that can be obtained.

The bonuses obtained by developing these buildings only affect the planet on which they are being built

The speed of construction is influenced by the level of development achieved by the Nanite Factory on that planet

Given the above, it is therefore not possible to put LifeForms buildings under construction while the development of the Nanite Factory is underway and, of course, vice versa

For the ROCK'TAL race the constructions are as follows:

Meditation Enclave

It offers housing for aliens. Each level increases the maximum population of the planet.

This establishment is closely dependent on Crystal Farm , which produces food.

The aliens, attracted by the availability of homes, will populate them in a short time until their capacity is exhausted

In the event of an attack, a part of the aliens will be able to survive thanks to the bunker and therefore will have the possibility of reproducing until they return to the levels prior to the attack.

If there isn't enough food to satisfy everyone, the aliens will leave the planet

If the inhabitants decrease (for example due to a Race Change, food shortage, enemy attack, etc.) the structures and researches that require a minimum amount of inhabitants will no longer be available until the required requirements are restored

To understand and monitor the state of mind of the residents, the tooltip located on their icon in the upper menu is available

Crystal Farm

At each level, the Crystal Farm expansion increases the amount of food produced per second and the capacity of your storage

If the Aliens housed in the Meditation Enclave are not enough to consume all the food produced, it will be accumulated in the building's deposit, whose capacity increases as the developed levels increase.

This structure requires, for the development of new levels, as well as resources, even a minimum amount of energy, understood as the amount of energy produced and not as unused and available energy .

This means that even if on the planet we have a negative energy balance of -1,000 (difference between energy produced = 2,100 and energy used = 3,100 )

it is however possible to develop the research that requires 1,500 of energy, precisely because the energy produced exceeds this requirement (being 2,100)

Food can be farmed during attacks.

To understand the status of food production, the tooltip located on their icon, located in the upper menu, is available

Rune Technologium

The maximum bonus limit obtainable is -25% for costs and -99% for research time

Rune Forge

In the Forge Of Runes, the Rock'tal aliens of the T1 type are converted into T2, i.e. aliens with greater knowledge and skills

Each level increases the number of Rock'tal trained, allowing them to unlock their research more quickly

This structure needs, for the development of new levels, as well as resources, even a minimum amount of inhabitants on the planet

With the Food Silo and Skyscraper structures it will be possible to increase the speed with which the T2s are trained

Oriktorium

At the Oriktorium, T2 Rock'tal are trained to become T3 level, i.e. able to make the most of their abilities

Each level developed increases the percentage of trained aliens

This structure needs, for the development of new levels, as well as resources, even a minimum amount of inhabitants on the planet

With the Food Silo and Skyscraper structures it will be possible to increase the speed with which the T3s are trained

Magma Forge

This construction significantly increases the production of metal on the planet at each level

Disruption Chamber

The Splitting Chamber allows you to produce and distribute energy more efficiently.

Each level developed, in addition to increasing the production of energy on the planet, reduces its consumption

Monolith

This structure, at each level, reduces the costs and development times for the construction of the buildings belonging specifically to the Rock'tal.

The maximum bonus obtainable is equal to -50% for both bonuses it grants

Crystal Refinery

This state-of-the-art construction significantly increases crystal production on the development planet at each level

Deuterium Synthesiser

This laboratory increases the planet's deuterium production with each level developed

Mineral Research Center

The development of this technology reduces, at each level, the construction costs of all buildings for the production of resources.

The maximum bonus obtainable is -50%

Advanced Recycling Plant

The latest Rock'Tal construction is an amazing technology that allows you to obtain resources from the debris field created as a result of an attack on a planet

Each level developed increases the amount of resources recovered from the debris field

By developing at least one level of it, when you suffer an attack that creates a debris field, this building will take a percentage of it (determined by its development level) and move the resources to the planet.

Resources collected by the building are removed from the debris field.

The effect of the Advanced Recycling Facility only takes effect on attacks directed at the planet, therefore it will not affect fights that take place on Moons

If there are Reapers in the attacking fleet, they will recycle before the building

The maximum limit of the bonus offered by this construction is equal to 30%

ROCK'TAL - RESEARCH

Unlocking the Rock'Tal researches allows you to have access to their EIGHTEEN researches that grant infinitely useful bonuses and improvements to the miner category, strengthening and increasing everything that revolves around the "Collector" class, including a bonus on the class itself

To have access to Rock'Tal researches it is necessary to develop the Rune Technologium present in the LifeForm section

The research page is accessed by clicking on the icon next to the LifeForm section

To be developed, each research requires the achievement of a specific number of resident aliens, belonging to the same training level of the block.

Thus BLOCK 1 needs a certain amount of Rock'Tal at level T1, a certain number of Rock'Tal at level T2 gives access to BLOCK 2 research, and finally, BLOCK 3 needs a certain number of Rock'Tal with T3 training

Technologies that have not met the minimum population requirement appear hidden by a padlock on a black background

Once the required population level has been reached, it is possible to activate the research. It may belong to the race that is developing on the planet or even to another race. Further information regarding randomisations can be found in the appropriate section of the guide

Researches can only be unlocked in sequence, i.e. you cannot unlock, for example, a research of BLOCK 2 first, even if you meet the requirements.

You must first unlock all of BLOCK 1

Unlocking a research does not mean having developed it, in fact it initially appears at level ZERO.

The Roman numerals that appear in the upper part of the research image inform the player that he will find, in another or other blocks, the same research even more developed and generally more profitable, or in any case that, being able to develop it several times, he will be able to at least double it the benefits

The absence of numbering indicates that the only research of this type available has been unlocked

Indicates that the first available research of this type has been unlocked and that by continuing, you will find another identical, but more advanced one

Indicates that the second and last research of this type has been unlocked

Research cannot be developed if the Rune Technologium is being upgraded on the planet and vice versa

The researches developed on a planet are disseminated throughout the Empire, so all planets will enjoy the researched effects, as long as, of course, the race remains active on that planet

This means that if he develops a research that grants, for example, 0.3% bonus on metal, he will grant it not only on the planet he develops on, but on the production of all planets.

This is the complete picture of ROCK'TAL research

ROCK'TAL RESEARCH - BLOCK 1 - Population T1 Minimum Required: 200,000 Inhabitants

KAELESH - BUILDINGS

The Kaelesh can only be activated after exploring the galaxies and encountering this species. Their characteristics are specified in the Alien Characteristics section but, in general, their characteristic is to provide support to the Explorer class by providing bonuses aimed at alleviating its critical needs and increasing its profits.

Only after activating this race, you have access to their LIFEFORM section, through the button on the menu, or the section relating to the specific structures of this race.

LifeForms structures DO NOT occupy planet spaces, only some require energy, others require a minimum amount of resident aliens to be activated or a certain amount of energy produced on the planet

The importance of developing an abundant population of this species derives from the fact that the more inhabitants reside on the planet, the more their structures and research can be unlocked and consequently the greater the bonuses that can be obtained.

The bonuses obtained by developing these buildings only affect the planet on which they are being built

The speed of construction is influenced by the level of development achieved by the Nanite Factory on that planet

Given the above, it is therefore not possible to put LifeForms buildings under construction while the development of the Nanite Factory is underway

For the KAELESH breed the constructions are as follows:

Sanctuary

Provides housing for the alien Kaelesh. Each level increases the maximum population of the planet and its growth rate

This structure is closely dependent on the following, Antimatter Capacitor

The Kaelesh, attracted by the capacity of the houses, will populate them in a short time until they run out of capacity. If the food produced in the Antimatter Capacitor is not produced in adequate quantities, the houses could remain empty

In the event of an attack, a part of the aliens will be able to survive thanks to the bunker and therefore will have the possibility of reproducing until they return to the levels prior to the attack.

If there isn't enough food to satisfy everyone, the starving aliens will leave the planet

If the inhabitants decrease (for example following a Race Change, food shortage, enemy attack, etc.) the structures and researches that require a minimum amount of inhabitants will no longer be available until the required requirements are restored and therefore will be suspended until that time to hand out their bonuses

The speed of the growth rate can be improved by developing the Cloning Lab and the Chrysalis Accelerator

The maximum capacity of this structure can be increased, as well as with a further level, also with the development of the Chrysalis Accelerator

To fully understand and monitor the state of mind of the residents, the tooltip located on their icon in the upper menu is available

Antimatter Condenser

At each level, the expansion of the Antimatter Capacitor increases the amount of food produced per second and the capacity of your storage

If the Aliens housed in the Sanctuary are not enough to consume all the food produced, it will be accumulated in the building's deposit, whose capacity increases as the developed levels increase.

This structure requires, for the development of new levels, as well as resources, also a minimum amount of energy, understood as the amount of energy produced and not as unused and available energy .

This means that even if on the planet we have a negative energy balance of -1,000 (difference between energy produced = 2,100 and energy used = 3,100 )

it is however possible to develop the research that requires 1,500 of energy, precisely because the energy produced exceeds this requirement (being 2,100)

By developing the Antimatter Convector it is possible to reduce food consumption

Food can be farmed during attacks.

To understand the status of food production, the tooltip located on their icon, located in the upper menu, is available

Vortex Chamber

This building allows the research of the Kaelesh race to be developed

Each level reduces the cost and development time of research on the planet

The maximum bonus obtainable for this research is equal to 25% for the costs and 99% for the time

Halls of Knowledge (Halls of Realisation)

For the development of this construction, in addition to resources, a certain amount of population is required, which varies according to the level.

Within the Halls of Realization, Kaelesh at T1 level are trained up to T2 level.

Each level increases the number of trained Kaelesh T2s, which will allow access to BLOCK 2 of research

By developing the Cloning Laboratory and the Chrysalis Accelerator it is possible to increase the training speed of the Kaelesh at level T2

Forum of Transcendence

For the development of this construction, in addition to resources, a certain amount of population is required, which varies according to the level.

In the Forum of Transcendence, Kaelesh trained at the T2 level are trained until they reach the highest level, i.e. T3.

Each level increases the number of trained Kaelesh T3s, which will grant access to BLOCK 3 of research

Antimatter Convector

This construction decreases the consumption of food on the planet

Developed in combination with the Cloning Laboratory and the Chrysalis Accelerator, it allows to obtain the optimal ratio between growth and food production.

The maximum bonus obtainable is -50%

Cloning Laboratory

The Cloning Lab increases the rate at which the number of Kaelesh T1, T2 and T3 increases

Its development is essential to restore the population, for example after a race change or having suffered an enemy attack

Developed in combination with the Chrysalis Accelerator and the Antimatter Convector it allows to obtain the optimal ratio between growth and food production.

Chrysalis Accelerator

At each level, the Chrysalis Accelerator increases the maximum number of Kaelesh on the planet and the rate at which the number of Kaelesh T1, T2 and T3 increases

This construction therefore has two extremely useful factors: it helps quickly to expand the space available for the resident aliens and at the same time speeds up their reproduction.

Developed in combination with the Cloning Laboratory and the Antimatter Convector it allows to obtain the optimal ratio between growth and food production

Bio Modifier

The Bio Modifier grants an extremely interesting bonus: it increases the number of spaces on the planet in which it is developed, at each level.

Psionic Modulator

Each level of Psionic Modulator reduces the population requirement for all tech slots on the planet.

The maximum bonus reduction limit is 25%

Ship Manufacturing Hall

This interesting construction reduces the construction time of ships with each level developed. It only affects the planet where it is developed.

The maximum time reduction limit is -70%

Supra Refractor

At each level, the Overrefractor increases the chance that a moon will be created around a planet and that moon will be larger in size.

The maximum obtainable size of a moon is equal to 9,400 km

The maximum percentage increase of the percentage of the creation of the moon is equal to 30%

KAELESH - RESEARCH

Unlocking Kaelesh's research allows you to access their EIGHTEEN research which grant infinitely useful bonuses and improvements to the Explorer Class, strengthening and increasing everything that revolves around their game class, including a bonus on the class itself

To have access to Kaelesh research, you need to develop the Vortex Chamber in the LifeForm Construction section

The research page is accessed by clicking on the icon next to the LifeForm section of the menu

To be developed, each research requires the achievement of a specific number of resident aliens, belonging to the same training level of the block.

Therefore BLOCK 1 needs a certain amount of T1-level Kaelesh, a certain number of T2-level Kaelesh are required to access BLOCK 2 researches, and finally, BLOCK 3 needs a certain number of T3-trained Kaelesh

Technologies that have not met the minimum population requirement appear hidden by a padlock on a black background

Once the required population level has been reached, it is possible to activate the research. It may belong to the race that is developing on the planet or even to another race. Further information regarding randomisations can be found in the appropriate section of the guide .

Researches can only be unlocked in sequence, i.e. you cannot unlock, for example, a research of BLOCK 2 first, even if you meet the requirements.

You must first unlock all of BLOCK 1

Unlocking a research does not mean having developed it, in fact it initially appears at level ZERO.

The Roman numerals that appear in the upper part of the research image inform the player that he will find, in another or other blocks, the same research even more developed and generally more profitable, or in any case that, being able to develop it several times, he will be able to at least double it the benefits

The absence of numbering indicates that the only research of this type available has been unlocked

Indicates that the first available research of this type has been unlocked and that by continuing, you will find another identical, but more advanced one

Indicates that the second and last research of this type has been unlocked

Research cannot be developed if the planet is upgrading the Vortex Chamber and vice versa

The researches developed on a planet are disseminated throughout the Empire, so all planets will enjoy the researched effects, as long as, of course, the race remains active on that planet

This means that if he develops a research that grants, for example, 0.3% bonus on metal, he will grant it not only on the planet he develops on, but on the production of all planets.

The research page is accessed by clicking on the icon next to the LifeForm section of the menu

To be developed, each research requires the achievement of a specific number of resident aliens, belonging to the same training level of the block.

Therefore BLOCK 1 needs a certain amount of T1 level Mechas, a certain number of T2 level Mechas are required to access BLOCK 2 researches, and finally, BLOCK 3 needs a certain number of T3 trained Mechas

BACK TO INDEX

REPLACEMENT OF THE ALIEN RACE

First of all, it is good to know that, on each planet, it is possible to develop several alien races, one at a time, and that for this reason it is possible to switch between one and the other.

The first available race is, as has been said, the primitive race, or the HUMANS but proceeding with the alien explorations, it will soon be possible to get in touch and have the other races available.

It will therefore be possible to decide to replace the race currently present on the planet to optimize one's game strategy, activating an alien with characteristics that enhance one's strategies.

Or you can also change race to have at least one planet that allows, with its research (which will be shared with all the other planets), to obtain exclusive advantages

Or it can also be replaced for strategic reasons of great impact on the game

Observing the peculiarities of a race change, it will be possible to understand how it can be effective to use this option as a real additional bonus of Version 9 , using it to obtain strategic advantages during certain actions.

There is a cooldown of 48 hours between one race change and another.

This means that if an alien has been present on a planet for OVER 48h, it will be possible to replace it with another one instantly.

After the race change, for 48 hours, it will not be possible to deactivate the resident alien

Any building queues of the LF section will be stopped and the resources returned

Expeditions sent from the planet on which the race change is made will interrupt their flights.

If no life-form searches are available after deactivation, all explorations for aliens, originating from any planet, will cease their flights.

When an already developed race is deactivated, no building will be lost and consequently, the points obtained by developing the buildings and technologies will remain and when the race is restored (on the same planet) they will be restored

This means that it will be possible to return to the previous race being in exactly the same situation as before the change, except for the number of Aliens present on the planet.

By deactivating a race, the aliens who used to populate the planet will, of course, abandon it.

This means that, to return to the initial efficiency, it is necessary to wait for the restocking to be complete.

Even the food produced and eventually set aside will be brought back to zero

The time required for repopulation depends primarily on the characteristics of the aliens (for example the Rock'Tal reproduce more slowly while the Mecha are very fast), on the Economy speed and finally on how much the buildings that increase their growth rate have been developed.

Buildings that require a minimum amount of residents will immediately return to full functionality , although they cannot be leveled up until the number of residents is sufficient to do so.

Researches that require a minimum threshold of aliens will NOT start producing their bonuses until the required requirements have been met

The screen in front of which you might find yourself is visible in the following screenshot. In this example, the searches are seen exactly at the level at which they were developed but the image is in black & white, to indicate precisely that they are not operational at that moment.

The technologies covered by a padlock are instead those for which a number of residents has never been reached such as to be able to unlock them, not even before deactivation.

The technologies will gradually become active again, based on the necessary requirements, until returning to the initial situation.

In the following screenshot, the bonuses granted by the first two technologies as the resident aliens rise are back on the planet.

RESET & RESTORE OF SEARCHES

As already widely explained, Version 9 allows for a very varied customization of searches

During the development of research it may happen that a technology developed, for example, at the beginning, is now no longer useful, or the game strategy that made certain choices to be made has changed, or again, proceeding with randomization, the desired research has not been selected by the system

To remedy all these eventualities, the Reset and Restore functions are available

At the bottom of the three research blocks appear three large green buttons

By using them, it is possible to decide to reset a research block to ZERO and to be able to reselect the technologies that make it up

By pressing the RESET, a confirmation pop-up appears which, in turn, contains the request for a further choice

The FREE RESET , as easily understood, is completely free. However, it has a cooldown time to repeat it again

The RESET with MO does not include the cooldown

In case an active queue and/or a technology under development exists at the time of the RESET, the queue will be deleted, research in development interrupted and the resources returned.

Any blocks of research after the reset one will cease to produce their bonuses until the previous block is full of all research again.

If the THIRD BLOCK is subject to RESET, the previous two will continue to perform their functions normally

After selecting the preferred option a new confirmation pop up appears

Confirming further, the block resets and appears as originally found

At this point we can proceed to the new selection of technologies. In the case of RANDOMIZATION, refer to the dedicated section

Proposed technologies, if previously developed on that planet, will reappear at their development level (so a developed research will not lose its level, but will be reset to the same way it was before the RESET. Researches NEVER developed on that planet , even if developed elsewhere, will appear at level ZERO)

Note that the RESTORE button and a countdown appear under the reset block

If the new selection does not satisfy the player and he considers the newly created block less profitable than the previous one, he will be able to return to the previous situation within the indicated time

MANAGEMENT & CONTROL OF RESEARCH BONUS

To allow users complete and precise control of the various bonuses developed on the various planets, so that it is possible, effectively and quickly, to identify the places where to intervene or simply view the bonus levels achieved, a new summary page has been created.

A new subpage has therefore been added within Resource Setup

By selecting the link you can view, in detail, the increases of the bonuses developed on the individual planets, and where it is possible, the total achieved in the Empire is shown

The first number shown corresponds to the level reached, the second to a possible cap. max

In the example shown it is immediately understandable that, through the different bonuses on metal production, deriving from the various V9 technologies (constructions therefore excluded) a TOTAL increase of 13.06% on production was achieved

The items are grouped by type and can in turn be expanded by clicking on the green arrow to the left of each item

Now the contribution deriving from each planet is shown in detail, so that it is possible to carry out all the necessary calculations and therefore be able to intervene where the need arises

In some cases, such as ships for example, the menu provides for further expansion

By turning on this last level, an overall view of all developed bonuses is shown, divided by planet and ship type.

For now there is not yet an entry that shows all the bonuses merged on a single ship

The screen below shows how the increase in the Heavy Cargo hold is reported for development in the single planet and not the global total increase in the hold on the ship

Espionage Reports V9

Upgrading to Version 9 changes the espionage reports, which will show all the searches (and their level) currently active for that player, as well as obviously the bonuses relating to the construction section.

The espionage report takes on even greater importance in this version, as it can rapidly change its results, reinforcing the strategic content of this game.

What an espionage report shows, in the LF Research section, is the set of all the technologies currently ACTIVE and developed on every single planet that influence basic research, such as Armor, Shield and Weapon Technology, as well as the speed of individual ships as well as resource production, all of which are crucial when examining ratios of this type.

It is therefore to bear in mind that the bonuses could change at any time , as a reset of a research block, a restore, the switch of a race, an up and other customizations, which NOT necessarily take place in the spied planet , can significantly affect what was detected with the spy

It should also be taken into consideration that, despite the spy you have, some actions performed by the spied player may not have been performed with the configuration viewable from the report.

In the following screen you can see a Version 9 espionage report

Currently, given the novelty of the upgrade, we are unable to recommend a tool that allows automatic calculations on the effect of bonuses on fleet production and speed

As soon as one updated to this version is proposed, we will, as usual, report it.
