A Guide to Every Structure in A Planet of Mine

A Planet of Mine is a space-faring civilization-building strategy game by Tuesday Quest. In this game, players start out on a single world which they’ll mine for resources in order to build structures, expand their society, and eventually branch out to other planets.

While there are a large number of buildings to make and upgrade, you cannot see all of a structure’s details until you actually construct it (or, at least, have the option to do so). Because of this, it’s sometimes difficult to plan ahead for what you will want to create in the near future, or the resources you’ll need to save up to do so.

Gamezebo’s Structures Guide will provide details on all the build-able objects in the game including their resource cost to construct, level at which they unlock, Civilization score, resources or bonuses they provide, etc. “Room” indicates how many inhabitants can work there at once (if a manned facility) while speed shows how quickly items are produced at that structure (if not built on the species’ preferred biome). If we have not yet physically built an object ourselves, we excluded its demolition cost—although you can assume that tier one buildings will cost one explosive, tier two will cost two, etc.

Habitats

Habitats expand your max population size and allow you to create new inhabitants. The Flag is included in this grouping although it does not affect population.

Energy Sources

Energy sources produce energy units, which are then used to power structures which require them. Unlike other resources, energy is a fixed, definite amount: once you have a power plant producing +5 energy, unless you demolish that plant, you will always have +5 energy. Energy produced is, however, also all-or-nothing, so if you have a single power plant producing +5 energy but structures requiring 6 energy total, none of the structures requiring energy will function.

Production

The Production structures are essential for transforming one resource into another. These allow you to take standard resources you’ll find on and within the planet, like wood and coal, and turn them into higher value resources, like paper and glass, that are used in constructing upgraded buildings. Note: the set of assembly line structures are the only way to make probes, the ammunition used in the planetary laser.

Ascension

This category contains structures that increase your Ascension earned at the end of each planetary cycle or transform other resources into Ascension directly. Building the percent increase structures—like the school or university—early will maximize your total return on investment while the other structures can help boost your total once you have resources to spare.
