Editing PlanetWars structures

== Structure construction and maintenance ==
Planets can support one of each type of structure. They cost [[PlanetWars economy#Metal|metal]] to build. Anyone can build a structure on any faction-held planet. The output of that structure, if any, is added to your resource [[PlanetWars faction roles#Quota|quota]]. Once built it requires a few turns to become active. Larger, more expensive structures take longer to power up. 

All structures, except energy producers and the basic wormhole, require [[PlanetWars economy#Energy|energy]] to function. They will shut down and become non-functional if there is insufficient energy. [[PlanetWars faction roles#Quota|Economic leaders]] can set energy priorities for each structure to control which structures are kept running during a brownout.

Structures are disabled when destroyed ingame or if a successful invasion occurs on their planet. A structure disabled by an attack or power loss requires a few turns to reactivate. This time is twice as long as their initial activation time.

Structures can be destroyed by bomber attacks or scrapped for half their metal cost.

== Structure types ==
Here is a complete list of structures. This list, alongside extra information, is available in the Structures tab on any planet.

=== Energy ===
Energy structures are required to power most other structures
* ''Power Generation Unit'': The cheapest and most efficient source of power.
* ''Orbital Solar Array'': Least efficient power source which compensates by being impossible to disable from the ground.
* ''Planetary Geothermal Tap'': Very expensive and powerful; provides high output density at the expense of being a single point of failure.

=== Defense ===
Defenses hinder the effectiveness of attacks by reducing Influence gains, destroying bombers or preventing them from warping to the planet in the first place.
* ''Field Garrison'': Reduces Influence gain by 10.
* ''Interception Network'': Destroys 10 bombers from each bombing run.
* ''Planetary Defense Grid'': Reduces Influence gain by 20 and destroys 16 bombers from each bombing run.
*  ''Warp Jammer'': Prevents Warp Cores being used to access the planet. 

=== Wormholes ===
Wormholes project influence to nearby planets. This ability can be upgraded, blocked or sent over vast distances. The expensive String Connector is capable of permanently linking two planets.
* ''Wormhole Generator'': Every planet starts with a wormhole generator. It is impossible to destroy but when disabled it isolates a planet from it's neighbors.
* ''Improved Wormhole Stabilizer'': This improved generator projects Influence at a much higher rate.
* ''Wormhole Inhibitor'': Prevents enemy Influence being spread to a planet.
* ''Guerilla Jumpgate'': Projects Influence to a targeted enemy planet.
* ''String Connector'': Creates a wormhole to another planet.

=== Production ===
These structures produce the tools of war.
* ''Dropship Factory'': Produces 0.5 dropships per turn.
* ''Bomber Factory'': Produces 0.5 bombers per turn.
* ''Warp Core Fabricator'': Produces 10 warp cores after it powers up, then disappears.

=== Superweapons ===
Some structures would only be found in the lair of an evil genius.
* ''Terraform Nanite Bomb'': Destroys and replaces the terrain of a planet.
* ''Planet Buster'': Single use planet destroyer. Aim it at an enemy homeworld to win.
* ''Galaxy Compressor'': Structure which allows for the destruction of star systems at will for situations where just winning the game is not enough. 

=== Special ===
These  structures cannot be built, and keeping them under strict control is extremely important if you want to achieve galactic domination.
* "Headquarters" is an unique, irreplaceable structure existing on a faction's homeworld. It grants massive defensive bonuses, prevents warp or influence projection. Destroying an enemy Headquarters is victory; losing yours is defeat. Watch out for planetbusters!
* "Ancient Artifacts" are special structures that exist on some planets. Each artifact can be activated with a rather massive power expenditure. When activated, it will produce one Victory Point per galactic turn. The first faction to reach 100 Victory Points wins.

== Confiscation ==
Planet governors may confiscate structures built by other players on the planet. They must pay the metal cost of the structure to the previous owner.

[[PlanetWars faction roles#Quota|Faction leaders with metal quotas]] may confiscate structures belonging to faction members anywhere, without compensation.
