Without a proper perimeter, your base is nothing but a loose collection of buildings, scattered on the landscape and ripe for the taking. The addition of reinforced walls turns it into a military stronghold, withstanding the fiercest attacks. Steel and carbon reinforced concrete provide protection to personnel and buildings alike, deflecting anything up to tank based ordnance. The modular construction with straight pieces of wall and interlocking corner pieces can not only be arranged in a multitude of different layouts, fully customizable for your needs, but also allow for the addition of various defense structures such as turrets, bunkers, anti-aircraft weaponry, point defense guns, gates and watchtowers.

The Sensor Station is a vital tool to expand the communications range of your Command Center. It provides all crucial information about your ground units and is a communications hub to get your orders to the troops beyond the base’s reach. It is a cost efficient solution to direct a certain number of ground units and will be the first measure to expand your reach across the battlefield. Operated by a small crew it will ensure secure radio contact with your forces until a radar can be built. Its small size also makes it less obvious to enemy detection, making it perfect for smaller outpost bases.

The Silo provides additional storage space for resource crystals. The big dome structure is the silo proper, while the annex at the backside provides room for the necessary machinery. The resource rich solution is pumped in from the Extractor through underground pipelines. These connect to powerful pumps in the raised portion on the left of the annex. The solution runs through the big heat exchangers, which fill up the rest of the concrete structure at the back of the silo dome and recrystallization takes place. While the purified resource crystals are stored in the dome, the acid used as solvent is run back to the Extractor via the big pipe looping around the back of the Silo.

The Extractor processes the resources gathered by the Collector. The Collector drives in to the Extractor building at the big front gate. Vacuum tubes transport the materials from the Collector’s tank to cone mills in the lower portion on the right side. The milled down crystals and rock are then separated by flotation. The raised middle section of the building houses big vats, where strong acids dissolve the rock and electrolysis provides a mixture of valuable elements. The crystals are mixed back in and the solution is heated until all solid matter is dissolved. The two funnels atop the building carry off fumes and heat. The mixture runs through two pipes, each with a heat exchanger located on top of the left and right side of the building. Recrystallization provides pure and highly valuable resource crystals, which are stored in the two big silos at the back of the Extractor. The used acid is purified in the annex at the left side of the building, ready to be reused.

The Barracks is the place were civilians turn into capable combat-ready infantrymen. All training will be provided here. The front structures are the home for new recruits, until they can be sent to the battlefield, while the bigger structure doubles up as company HQ, training facility and armory for the issued weaponry, from side arms to rocket launchers. While certainly not luxurious, its accommodations certainly beat a foxhole in the dirt. Recruits are provided with bunk beds, a small mess and showers. Built from prefabricated parts it can be erected very fast, so you can start to train infantry in an instant. Sandbag barricades provide cover, should the enemy attack, while new recruits are greeted by the faction’s flag waving proudly at the entrance to your Barracks.

Capable of supplying several buildings with all the energy they need the Power Plant is the backbone of every base. Without it, your base will be paralyzed, as buildings cannot function properly without electricity. Luckily, our finest engineers designed an extremely compact and safe nuclear reactor, which they surrounded with every necessary equipment, buried under thick layers of reinforced concrete. It features a control section in the back of the building, a cooling tower capable of keeping the reactor at safe conditions at all times and highly efficient generators, which provide the electricity to light up every base. Should a power shortage occur nonetheless, our engineers recommend switching off less vital parts of your base and immediately constructing additional Power Plants.
