You can place structures by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile.
+
You can place components by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile. The price of the placed component will increase by 1.5x (mul.) for each component of the same type on the grid, this is reverted if the component is sold.
  
−
To delete a structure, right-click the filled tile while not having any structure selected from the list. Doing so will refund you 25% of the resource you spent buying the component. This can be increased to 50% if you have Component Recycling Skill.
+
To sell a component, right-click the filled tile while not having any component selected from the list. Doing so will fully refund the resources you spent buying the component.
  
−
Structures can connect with each other without the use of pipes, but pipes can be used to use resources more efficiently at times.  
+
Components must connect either orthogonally to a component they supply something to or via pipes if the component provides a fluid can be transported by one. Generators do not need to be connected to a battery, all battery storage and power production is simply added together for their final values.

The Power Plant is a building used to generate electricity to give speed boosts to other buildings.

Power plant example

Power Grid

The power grid is where you place components in order to generate and store energy.

You can place components by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile. The price of the placed component will increase by 1.5x (mul.) for each component of the same type on the grid, this is reverted if the component is sold.

To sell a component, right-click the filled tile while not having any component selected from the list. Doing so will fully refund the resources you spent buying the component.

Components must connect either orthogonally to a component they supply something to or via pipes if the component provides a fluid can be transported by one. Generators do not need to be connected to a battery, all battery storage and power production is simply added together for their final values.

Network

This is where you spend your energy to speed up other buildings:

  • Construction Firm: Reduces construction time for buildings.
  • Factory: Speeds up shard refining, store reload, machine speed, and fabricator speed.
  • Mine: Speeds up the drill, asteroid mining time, and asteroid scanning time.
  • Headquarters: Speeds up download of software and how fast contracts run out.
  • Shipyard: Speeds up shipments.
  • Museum: speeds up artifact research time and offshore market refresh time.
  • Arcade: On its own, it only speeds up the cooldown timer of "Refresh Wheel." To effectively boost the arcade you need to have something else (located in the spoiler below), which reduces the time between delays (such as time between stopping jumble rows) and increases the speed of the lucky wheel.
  • Trading Post: reduces the time between perk refreshes and the timer to reset trades

The more energy you use, the longer and stronger the boost is.

You can boost multiple buildings at the same time, but if they are boosted at exactly the same time then they have to split the energy for the boost, and so the boosts will be weaker. If you are using workers to restart boosts this isn't a problem in practice, because the periods of each building are different, and so each building will end up boosted at a unique time.

Mechanics

Boosting applies a percentage of the total available energy (10%, 25%, 50% or 100% depending on your selection) towards boosting. If there are multiple buildings being boosted simultaneously, the energy is split between them. (This splitting will not be shown in the preview numbers before you boost, but it will be apparent afterwards.) Call this energy being allocated to boosting a building BoostEnergy.

Then BoostEnergy is divided between time and effectiveness based on the position of the slider. For effectiveness, the slider runs from 1% to 100% of BoostEnergy, and for time the slider runs from 100% to 1%. This does mean that the overall energy sums to 101%! Call the amount after the the slider PostSlider.

For both time and effectiveness, PostSlider is used as follows: Result = log(PostSlider) * Perks * BaseValue. When displayed, Result is rounded for effectiveness, but truncated for time. The base for the log is 10 normally, or 7 with the Super Boost skill. Perks include Town Perks, as well as the 1.25 multiplier from Max Power if at full power (only applies to effectiveness). The table of BaseValues is:

Building Time Effectiveness
Construction Firm 4:00 20%
Factory 3:00 15%
Mine 3:20 18%
Headquarters 2:00 22%
Shipyard 5:00 10%
Museum 3:00 15%
Workshop 3:40 21%
Arcade 5:00 0.5%
Trading Post 3:00 15%

Technology

These are your components for use in the power grid.

You can unlock more by upgrading the Power Plant in the Construction Firm and purchasing the technology level it unlocks.

All components except the water pump and dyson node can be upgraded in the technology tab. All costs are rounded to the nearest resource. The power plant runs at 10 ticks/sec.

  • Quantum Grid - Allows components on the power grid to connect to components on the opposite edge of the grid.
  • Super Boost - Using more power for boosts has a higher impact on duration/effectivity. (Log10 -> Log7)
  • Max. Power - Increases the effectiveness of all active boosts by 25% (multiplicative) if the current amount of power exceeds the maximum amount.
  • Efficient Recycling - Lowers the base conversion rate from town resources to power plant resources to 600.
  • Shutdown - Allows you to cancel boosts anytime. Does not refund any power!
  • Yellowprints - Unlocks the ability to store up to 3 different layouts of the power plant as well as the functionality to import, export and apply them at any time. Additionally adds the an option to sell the entire grid.
