Fully grown Planetary Base

Summary

The Planetary Base is a Dark Fog structure build by a Relay Station after installing a Core Driller on a planets surface. Is consists of a variety of production and defense facilities, and will grow over time till it has reached its maximum size. It receives its matter from the Core Driller and its energy from the Relay Station connected to it.

Trivia

  • A planetary base will store up around 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 since it has no power generation of its own, rendering it dormant.

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

Buildings

Raider Camp

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.

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)

Ranger Camp

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

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

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

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

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.

Planetary Base (core)

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.
