Buildings form the foundation of every colony in '''Stellar Realms'''.
They determine your economic strength, military capability, expansion speed, and technological progression.

Each Realm introduces new structures aligned with empire growth:

* '''Realm 1''' — Core Infrastructure & Foundational Economy
* '''Realm 2''' — Advanced Extraction & Market Expansion
* '''Realm 3''' — High-Technology & Terraforming Era
* '''Realm 4''' — Ascension & Transcendence Structures

All buildings scale exponentially in cost and build time.

----

== 🌍 Realm 1 Buildings (Foundation Era) ==

Realm 1 focuses on establishing a stable economy, energy production, fleet construction, and defensive capability.

=== ⚡ Energy & Production ===

'''Solar Plant'''
Generates energy from stellar radiation.
Primary early-game energy source. Energy output scales per level.

'''Steel Mine'''

Production increases ~18% per level.

'''Warehouse'''
Unified storage facility for all resources.
Base protected share: 30%. Capacity increases significantly per level.

=== 🏗 Core Infrastructure ===

'''Shipyard'''
Constructs ships and orbital platforms.
Higher levels unlock larger hull classes.

'''Research Lab'''
Enables research and improves research speed.
Later links across colonies via Research Network.

'''Fleet Hangar'''

At high levels significantly accelerates development.

----

== 🛰 Realm 2 Buildings (Expansion Era) ==

Realm 2 introduces rare resource production, market systems, and advanced power structures.

=== 🔋 Advanced Energy ===

'''Fusion Reactor'''
High-output energy plant consuming Gas as fuel.
Designed for mid-to-late expansion phases.

=== 🪨 Rare Resource Extraction ===

'''Iridium Refinery'''
Produces Iridium used for advanced fleets and defenses.

'''Silicium Extractor'''
Extracts Silicium for high-tech systems and structures.

=== 🏛 Economic Infrastructure ===

'''Trading Center'''

Realm 3 marks the beginning of late-game infrastructure and advanced resource systems.

=== ⚛ Elerium Systems ===

'''Elerium Synthesizer'''
Produces synthetic Elerium required for advanced reactors and high-tier fleets.

'''Elerium Reactor'''
Massive energy production structure powered by Elerium.

=== 🌍 Planetary Engineering ===

'''Terraformer'''
Expands available building slots and slightly improves planetary resource richness.

=== 🌕 Lunar Expansion ===

'''Lunar Terraformer''' (Moon Only)
Increases available building slots on moons.

'''Warp Gate''' (Moon Only)
Enables instant fleet travel between linked Warp Gates.
Cooldown-based strategic infrastructure.

----

== 👑 Realm 4 Buildings (Ascension Era) ==

Realm 4 introduces transcendence and realm-transition structures.

'''Ascension Gate'''
Monumental structure enabling transition into other galaxies of realm 4.
Unlocks advanced fleets, research tiers, and prestige systems.

----

== 📊 Building Scaling & Mechanics ==

* Costs scale exponentially by level.
* Build time increases progressively per upgrade.
* Some buildings require specific research levels.
* Moon-only structures can only be constructed on moons.
* Advanced structures require Realm progression milestones.

----

== 🧠 Strategic Notes ==

* Energy balance is critical; overextension limits production.
* Infrastructure scaling determines long-term dominance.
* Moon structures are essential for advanced PvP intelligence.
* Terraforming becomes mandatory in high-realm expansion.
