Planetary Buildings in Galactic Civilizations II

This section describes all planetary buildings in Galactic Civilizations II. All this info is from the PlanetImprovements.xml file in the GalCiv2 data folder. Buildings are grouped by what they affect in the game. If a planet contains special bonus tiles, make sure you build the proper building on it to receive the listed bonus.

Colony Buildings

These are auto-buildings the game places.

Initial Colony

• Cost: 0 (placed automatically when you colonize a planet)
• Morale Bonus: 5
• Maintenance: 12 bc
• Industry: 12
• Food: 5
• Research: 10
• Limit: 1 per planet
• Indestructible
• Notes: This is what your colony ship becomes after making planet fall. It gives your new planet some basic stats. Of note is the 12 bc per week maintenance cost, which can cause financial trouble during the colonization phase if you expand too fast.

Civilization Capital

• Cost: 0 (placed automatically on your home world)
• Morale Bonus: 0
• Influence Bonus: 25
• Maintenance: 0
• Industry: 24
• Food: 10
• Research: 24
• Limit: 1 per planet
• Indestructible
• Notes: Your home world starts off with a good bit of industry and research, allowing a good head start on developing your empire.

Production Buildings

If you want to build things, you've got to have production buildings. Anything that produces Industry impacts your military and social production. Depending on your spending levels, these values can be the same or very different. However, you build the same buildings to increase both.
