Every Space Center building, its levels, what each level gives, and what it costs to reach.
Turns discovery into parts. Each extension opens the next tier of the tech tree.
| Level | What it gives | Cost | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TECH TIERS OPEN 1 | free | None |
| 2 | TECH TIERS OPEN 1 – 2 | 200 discovery + 2,500 credits | None |
| 3 | TECH TIERS OPEN 1 – 3 | 600 discovery + 8,000 credits | None |
Pairs with the tech tree: a node's tier is buyable only once this building reaches that tier.
Where rockets start. A bigger pad takes a taller, heavier ship.
| Level | What it gives | Cost | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MAX MASS 12.0 t · MAX HEIGHT 20 m | free | None |
| 2 | MAX MASS 50.0 t · MAX HEIGHT 40 m | 4,000 credits | Staging |
| 3 | MAX MASS 250 t · MAX HEIGHT 80 m | 15,000 credits | Payload Bay |
| 4 | MAX MASS no limit · MAX HEIGHT no limit | 40,000 credits | None |
A pad is founded on every world your tech opens; the Comm Station is not, and stays on Earth. A probe launched from the Moon is talking to Earth, or to a relay of yours, from the moment it is out of sight.
Where companies come to buy flight tests. Each extension takes on more contracts at once, and harder ones.
| Level | What it gives | Cost | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CONTRACTS AT ONCE 3 · CONTRACT TIERS 1 | free | None |
| 2 | CONTRACTS AT ONCE 5 · CONTRACT TIERS 1 – 2 | 35 discovery + 3,000 credits | None |
| 3 | CONTRACTS AT ONCE 7 · CONTRACT TIERS 1 – 3 | 110 discovery + 12,000 credits | None |
Pairs with the contracts board it opens: more levels here mean more offers on the board at once, and harder ones among them.
Where the Meek sign on. Each extension holds more of them at once, and opens more trades to the board.
| Level | What it gives | Cost | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MEEK AT ONCE 3 · RECRUITS UP TO 6 / 10 | free | None |
| 2 | MEEK AT ONCE 6 · RECRUITS UP TO 8 / 10 | 35 discovery + 3,000 credits | None |
| 3 | MEEK AT ONCE 10 · RECRUITS UP TO 10 / 10 | 110 discovery + 12,000 credits | None |
Pairs with every pod: no command pod flies without a Meek from here aboard.
The home station: the one dish on the ground, standing on Earth. Every link ends here, so a probe out of Earth's sight is flyable only through relay satellites of your own — and levelling it up lifts every antenna already in orbit.
| Level | What it gives | Cost | Needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ANTENNA 50 Mm | free | None |
| 2 | ANTENNA 10.0 Gm | 3,500 credits | Deep Space Comms |
| 3 | ANTENNA 500.0 Gm | 12,000 credits | Interplanetary Comms |
Pairs with every antenna a ship carries: a stronger dish here lifts what is already in orbit, with no flight needed. There is no station on any other world — opening the Moon or Mars founds a Launch Pad there and no dish, which is what makes a relay network worth launching. See Communications.
