76561198107421680: /* Building Supplements */

Buildings must be placed within owned territory, which is projected around the Citadel and Beacons. Pieces can be built anywhere.

Each building has an Oxygen maintenance cost that depends on the game difficulty.

A building can only be placed where it has enough Support from below. If sections providing Support are destroyed or removed the supported building may collapse. When time is paused a building won't collapse without Support and will be highlighted red.

You can recycle placed buildings to recover their resources by pressing the recycle button below the build menu and then clicking on the buildings you want recycled.

== The Citadel ==
[[File:The Citadel.png|thumb|300px|The Citadel]]
Every settlement will begin with a Citadel, which produces 180 Oxygen, stores 720 Oxygen, 400 Wood, 400 Stone and 200 Minerals, and projects territory around it. It produces 10 Military Capacity and can be upgraded to produce more. It also comes with two towers where buildings may be placed, ideally Air Filters. All buildings need a path to the Citadel to function and will shut down if pieces facilitating this are destroyed or recycled. If the Citadel is destroyed the mission is lost.

The Citadel has a health of 400, which is increased to 650 with the Reinforced Stonework skill and to 1150 with the Reinforced Stonework II skill.

The Citadel produces 10 Citizens on Story difficulty, 8 Citizens on Easy/Normal/Hard difficulty and 6 Citizens on Extreme difficulty.

With the Headquarters Defense skill from the Book of Insight the Citadel gains an ability to damage all horrors around it. With the Mistleap skill from the Book of Insight the Citadel gains an ability to teleport all units in the selected area to the Citadel.

== Resource Gathering ==
Resource Gathering buildings are used to produce resources.
=== Raw Materials ===
Raw Materials buildings use workers who carry materials from the resource gathering building to the nearest Warehouse or Citadel. The shorter the distance, the faster resources will be gathered. The buildings come in two levels and can be upgraded for the cost difference once the required Prosperity is reached.

Each building has one worker and can have as many additional workers assigned as there are Citizens available. The optimal number of workers depends on the number of resources around and the distance to the nearest warehouse or the citadel.
* If the number of workers is colored white, additional workers will increase production.
* If the number of workers is colored green, the building has the optimal amount of workers assigned for maximum production.
* If the number of workers is colored red, the building has more workers assigned than necessary for maximum production.

Pieces are constructed instantly and nlike buildings pieces can be constructed anywhere. If you hold and drag with left mouse button pressed you can build multiple pieces in a straight line. A piece can only be placed where it has enough Support from below. If sections providing Support are destroyed or removed the supported pieces may collapse. When time is paused a piece won't collapse without Support and will be highlighted red. Pieces that are in danger of breaking will glow red as well.

You can recycle placed pieces by pressing the recycle button below the build menu and then clicking on the buildings you want recycled.

Pieces may be placed in two ways depending on the current mission.
* On Skirmish, Endless, Sandbox and Campaign city building missions pieces are constructed with resources like buildings.
* On campaign expedition and tower defense missions pieces must be obtained from caches on the map and may only be built in a limited number.

== Toughness ==

Pieces

2025-03-15T21:44:21Z

76561198107421680: /* Bridges */

Pieces are constructed instantly and nlike buildings pieces can be constructed anywhere. If you hold and drag with left mouse button pressed you can build multiple pieces in a straight line. A piece can only be placed where it has enough Support from below. If sections providing Support are destroyed or removed the supported pieces may collapse. When time is paused a piece won't collapse without Support and will be highlighted red. Pieces that are in danger of breaking will glow red as well.

You can recycle placed pieces by pressing the recycle button below the build menu and then clicking on the buildings you want recycled.

Pieces may be placed in two ways depending on the current mission.
* On Skirmish, Endless, Sandbox and Campaign city building missions pieces are constructed with resources like buildings.
* On campaign expedition and tower defense missions pieces must be obtained from caches on the map and may only be built in a limited number.

== Toughness ==
[[File:Stacking.png|thumb|300px|Stone Pieces changing appearance as their Toughness increases]]
Pieces made primarily of Stone have a Toughness rating. If there are enough pieces made primarily of stone underneath or above them the Toughness of the column will upgrade, giving it a massive increase in health and visibly changing its appearance. The health bonus can be increased further with certain improvements at the Masonry Guild.

The health multiplier provided by each Toughness rating depends on the game difficulty.

Wood Pieces require less Support but their health is minimal. Their purpose is in aiding travel, either across caps or to reach the top of Stone Pieces. Wood Pieces do not require any level of Prosperity to be constructed but some must be unlocked with skills from the Book of Insight.

Stone Pieces have more health and gain Toughness but require more Support. Stone Pieces do not require any level of Prosperity to be constructed but some must be unlocked with skills from the Book of Insight.

[[File:Unit controls.png|thumb|500px|The unit controls panel]]
All units fight from distance and hovering over a human will display its range. Each unit has its own preferred height compared to the enemy and will receive increased bonuses when attacking from their preferred height.

All units have an Oxygen maintenance cost that scales with the game difficulty. Units received as reinforcements during a mission do not have maintenance.

== Iris ==
During all missions except tower defense Iris will be playable as a special unit. Iris can gain various passive and active skills via the Book of Insight. If she is killed on Expedition mission the mission fails. If she is killed on City Building missions she can be resurrected at the Citadel at the cost of 100 Oxygen. Resurrecting Iris is instant on Story and Easy and takes 15 seconds on Normal, 45 on Hard and 120 on Extreme. Iris' appearance changes as the story continues.

== Trainable units ==
The number of units that can be trained is limited by the Military Capacity, which starts at 10 and is increased at the Citadel. A rally point can be set by selected by selecting a building that produces units and right-clicking where newly recruited units should move. The time it takes to train a unit scales with game difficulty.

Each time a unit hits attacks, it gains experience. After it gains enough experience it becomes a Veteran and gains +20% Attack Damage and -15% Attack Cooldown. Each unit also has one upgrade in the building they're recruited from and one skill in the Book of Insight.

The Partisan is only available in Skirmish, Endless and Sandbox.

Buildings

76561198107421680: /* Raw Materials */

Buildings must be placed within owned territory, which is projected around the Citadel and Beacons. Pieces can be built anywhere.

Each building has an Oxygen maintenance cost that depends on the game difficulty.

A building can only be placed where it has enough Support from below. If sections providing Support are destroyed or removed the supported building may collapse. When time is paused a building won't collapse without Support and will be highlighted red.

You can recycle placed buildings to recover their resources by pressing the recycle button below the build menu and then clicking on the buildings you want recycled.

== The Citadel ==
[[File:The Citadel.png|thumb|300px|The Citadel]]
Every settlement will begin with a Citadel, which produces 180 Oxygen, stores 720 Oxygen, 400 Wood, 400 Stone and 200 Minerals, and projects territory around it. It produces 10 Military Capacity and can be upgraded to produce more. It also comes with two towers where buildings may be placed, ideally Air Filters. All buildings need a path to the Citadel to function and will shut down if pieces facilitating this are destroyed or recycled. If the Citadel is destroyed the mission is lost.

The Citadel has a health of 400, which is increased to 650 with the Reinforced Stonework skill from the Book of Insight.

The Citadel produces 10 Citizens on Story difficulty, 8 Citizens on Easy/Normal/Hard difficulty and 6 Citizens on Extreme difficulty.

With the Headquarters Defense skill from the Book of Insight the Citadel gains an ability to damage all horrors around it. With the Mistleap skill from the Book of Insight the Citadel gains an ability to teleport all units in the selected area to the Citadel.

== Resource Gathering ==
Resource Gathering buildings are used to produce resources.
=== Raw Materials ===
Raw Materials buildings use workers who carry materials from the resource gathering building to the nearest Warehouse or Citadel. The shorter the distance, the faster resources will be gathered. The buildings come in two levels and can be upgraded for the cost difference once the required Prosperity is reached.

Each building has one worker and can have as many additional workers assigned as there are Citizens available. The optimal number of workers depends on the number of resources around and the distance to the nearest warehouse or the citadel.
* If the number of workers is colored white, additional workers will increase production.
* If the number of workers is colored green, the building has the optimal amount of workers assigned for maximum production.
* If the number of workers is colored red, the building has more workers assigned than necessary for maximum production.
