Star Trek: Alien Domain: Colonies: Buildings

Colonies
Colonies are where you generate resources, research new technologies, defend your colonized planet and repair your ship. They are an essential element of gameplay. Each player begins with one colony in their home Realm. Federation players begin in 1-Nordri and Klingon players begin in 2-Sudri. Attacking other players colonies can generate loot for your usage.

Buildings
The base (pictured left) is an example of a Klingon base. There are several types of buildings on colony base and each serves a separate purpose. While the design of Klingon and Federation building differs, their purposes are the same.

 * Energy-station.JPG

Energy Station
These buildings generate electricity, providing power to other buildings. A lack of energy will stop buildings from upgrading or weaken their normal functions. (Max level: 50)

Communication Matrix
Thanks to the high-powered transmitter of the Communication Matrix, reliable communication in fluidic space has been realized. Build a Communication Matrix to enable chat and squadron functions. (Max level: 3)
 * Deuterium-synthesizer.JPG

Deuterium Synthesizer
The Deuterium Synthesizer creates deuterium using the fluid in fluidic space. Increasing the Deuterium Synthesizer's level can improve deuterium production. (Max level: 1)

Collect the deuterium by clicking on the deuterium symbol (green bubbles) that pop-up over this building. Deuterium helps you explore fluidic space.

Shipyard
Starships can be built and repaired in the Shipyard, but they must leave the fleet first. Increasing the Shipyard's level can improve ship building and repair speeds as well as the max number of ships that can be docked. The shipyard is also where you unload resources from your fleet that you have gained from attacking other player's fleets and from looting other planets. (Max level: 50)

New ships can be researched at the shipyard as you progress in level or win blueprints through various loot drops in the game.

Leveling up shipyards in colonies other than main base is for improving ship build speed.

Research Lab
The Research Lab houses researchers and precision equipment to study various technologies. Increasing the Research Lab's level will unlock more technology and increase research speed. (Max level: 50)

Collect Synergen A by clicking on the Synergen A symbol (shiny silver square) that pops-up over this building. Synergen A is an important material for researching starships.
 * Crystal-factory.JPG
 * Crystal-factory.JPG

Crystal Factory
The Crystal Factory collects and processes energy crystals to manufacture energy sources. Increasing the Crystal Factory's level can improve the crystal production. (Max level: 50)

Crystals are a new energy found by scientists in fluidic space. They can greatly increase energy output and help you research new technologies in the Research Lab.

 * Crystal-storage.JPG

Crystal Storage
Crystal Storage is used to store energy crystals. Increasing the Crystal Storage's level can improve its storage capacity. (Max level: 50)
 * Metal-factory.JPG
 * Metal-factory.JPG

Metal Factory
The Metal Factory collects metallic ores from below the surface and processes them into usable materials. Increasing the Metal Storage Factory's level can improve metal production. (Max level: 50)

Metal is used to build and upgrade buildings, as well as build and repair ships.

Metal Storage
Metallic ore is placed in Metal Storage after being refined. Increasing Metal Storage's level can improve its storage capacity. (Max level: 50)
 * Isolinear-lab.JPG
 * Isolinear-lab.JPG

Isolinear Lab
Scientists are hard at work in the Isolinear Chip Laboratory to create new isolinear chips Increase the level of the lab to increase chip level limits. (Max level: 50)

Isolinear chips are Inlayed in your ships equipment to improve certain aspects of your fleet ships and their equipment capabilities.
 * Defense-control-center.JPG
 * Defense-control-center.JPG

Defense Control Center
The Defense Control Center allocates and controls all defensive unmanned satellites to defend against possible attacks. (Max level: 50)

Players can research and build satellites, deploy those satellites to defend their colony, change the form (battle layout) of deployed satellites, and add squadron players to help defend your colonies. The number or types of satellites available to players depend on their level, research completed, and the level of the building itself. Please comment below regarding your building-related questions. Thank you!
