Buildings

Every settlement will begin with a Citadel, which produces 180 Oxygen, 8 Citizens and10 Military Capacity, stores resources, and has a Toughness of 400. 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.

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

A buildings 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. Buildings left without Support will be highlighted red.

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

Buildings can be stacked on top of other buildings if there is room.
