Gravimetric Tower
The Gravimetric Tower uses gravitational engineering to compress debris into a proto-moon and to accelerate fleets launching from the planet and its moons.
Mechanics
- Planet-only — unlocks moon creation project (large one-time resource cost and timer)
- Each level adds ~1.5% fleet launch speed from this planet and its connected moon(s)
- Extremely long base build — plan Engineering Lab bonuses before starting
Special capabilities
Moon creation
- Initiate moon construction from the tower UI once requirements are met
- Moons host Radar Station, Sensor Array, Warp Gate, and Lunar Terraformer
- Strategic moons enable moon launches invisible to enemy radar scans of the planet
Strategy
- Build on your main fleet world before investing in moon infra
- First moon often holds radar + warp pairs for empire mobility
- Speed bonus rewards leveling on active launch worlds
Lore
These towers manipulate gravitational fields powerful enough to reshape celestial bodies.
By capturing nearby asteroid material and compressing it into orbit, they can create entirely new moons around a planet.
