Planetary Base

Fully grown Planetary Base

Summary

The Planetary Base is a Dark Fog structure constructed by a Relay Station, after it installed a Core Driller on a planet's surface. It consists of a variety of production and defense facilities and grows over time, until it reaches its maximum size. The Planetary Base's energy is supplied by the Relay Station above it, and its matter is supplied by its Core Driller.

Mechanics

A planetary base will idle until it stored up 9500 matter, then it begins construction of the first buildings.
The Planetary Base will store a maximum of 15.000 matter, anything above that also gets sent to the Relay.
A Planetary Base will produce 180 matter / second, unless it has entered overdrive mode.
Overdrive Mode is triggered by close proximity of Icarus or a Signal Tower. It increases matter and unit production speed tenfold.
If the Relay is destroyed the Base will quickly run out of power reserves, rendering the Base dormant. (Left over units will remain active)

Composition


The Planetary Base consists of three distinct rings: Central Ring. Buildings here progress at a speed of 1% every 6 seconds, meaning one building takes 10 minutes to build. Each building is located on the hard foundation section, which contains: 3 Raider Camps 3 Plasma Sentries Second Ring. Buildings here progress at a speed of 0.1% every 6 seconds, meaning each building takes 1 hour 40 minutes to build, but build in nearly all at once. Buildings are located on the ground, and consist of: 6 Ranger Camps 3 Raider Camps 3 Unknown Structures Third Ring. Buildings here progress at a speed of 0.3% every six seconds, meaning each building takes about 33 minutes to build, but build fewer at once Buildings are located on the ground, and consist of: 9 High Energy Laser Towers 6 Guardian Camps 3 Ranger Camps 3 Plasma Sentries

Relay Station
Planetary Base (core)		Durability: 2000 + 120 / Level Armor: 0 + 0,2 / Level Production Rate: 180 Matter / sec Power Consumption: Idle Consumption: 5,4 MW	Dark Fog's brain above the planet, it follows two simple rules: First, never build unnecessary structures; Second, clear any threats near the base. A Planetary Base will regularly assess its nearby environment. If a threat is identified, it will give an order to its Camps to accelerate production. A Planetary Base will dig wells deep into the planet to exploit core matter. Such matter will then be used to build structures and units. This technology grants a high degree of freedom in evolution to its units,and this may have induced the Dark Fog's variation. Therefore, this technology has been prohibited by the COSMO Technology Ethics Committee. You can still see the core even after a Planetary Base is destroyed. Frankly, only a few engineers were lucky enough to witness this.
Raider Camp		Durability: 1000 HP+ 60 / Level Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec Power Consumption: 1.2 MW Idle Power Consumption: 400 kW Production Rate: (to be added)	Dark Fog's production facility, which is used to produce powerful close-quarter ground units like Raiders. Raiders float above the ground and possess formidable attack and defense capability. Raiders are named after an extremely curious engineer. After landing, he went to search the ground base but was raided by a newly produced Raider.
Ranger Camp		Durability: 900 + 55 / Level Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec Power Consumption: 1.2 MW Idle Power Consumption: 400 kW Production Rate: (to be added)	Dark Fog's production facility, which is used to produce long-range ground units like Rangers. Before variation, Rangers had been the defensive security system of the ground base. They patrolled around the base to clear away any threats. After variation, they became more aggressive.
Guardian Camp		Durability: 800 + 50 / Level Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec Power Consumption: 1.2 MW Idle Power Consumption: 400 kW Production Rate: (to be added)	Dark Fog's production facility, which is used to produce powerful ground defense units like Guardians. Guardians offer strong protection to nearby Dark Fog, which is how they got their name.
Plasma Sentry		Durability: 700 + 55 / Level Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec Power Consumption: Engaging: 4.8 MW On Alert: 2.4 MW Damage: 84 HP + 11 / Level Fire Rate: Range:	High-energy crystals are used as its plasma exciter. They can quickly stimulate plasmas to be used as weapons. They usually appear inside a Planetary Base to provide powerful suppressive fire.
High-energy Laser Tower		Durability: 800 + 60 / Level Armor: 0 + 0,2 / Level Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec Power Consumption: Engaging: 6.0 MW On Alert: 2.4 MW Damage: 360 HP + 40 / Level Fire Rate: Range:	Three main pumping sources stimulate its lasers. Meanwhile, three energy boosters are equipped to improve the control of the lasers. This design optimizes laser output with higher energy while still maintaining high stability and accuracy. It usually appears on the periphery of the Planetary Base.
Unknown Structure		Durability: 800 + 50 / Level Armor: 0 + 0,2 / Level Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec Power Consumption: 6 MW Idle Power Consumption: Unknown	Although this building is mentioned in all reports, for now we still don't know its specific functions. It is huge and eye-catching. Maybe it connects the Planetary Base and the Hive. Or maybe it's still developing. research on it is still on progress. Hopefully its mystery will be revealed one day.
