Production buildings provide jobs. Citizens working in them produce or refine raw resources. Residents tend to work near their dwelling. All production rates are calculated with full happiness.
Production Buildings[]
Woodcutting Center [4 Jobs][]
Woodcutters retrieve their materials here, then go to the nearest forest to cut wood. [4 Jobs]

- 4 Wood
Indoor Farm [2 Jobs][]
Crops can be grown here to produce food.
Materials required to make:
- 6 Wood
- 3 Stone
Exploration Center [3 jobs][]
Explore alien ruins to gain knowledge, resources and special bonuses. When all ruins have been explored, workers will investigate their findings to gain more knowledge. Produces about 5-10 knowledge every day with all workers under normal speed.
Materials required to make:
- 8 Wood
- 4 Stone
Machine Parts Factory [2 Jobs][]
Produces machine parts from stone. Three stone is needed to make one machine part. Produces 1 Machine Part every 4 seconds with both workers under normal speed.
Material required to make:
- 10 Wood
- 35 Stone
- 25 Knowledge*
Lab [2 Jobs][]
Scientists gather knowledge here. Also has upgrades boosting adjacent farms and tree plantations. One knowledge is produced every 4 seconds with both workers under normal speed.
Materials required to make:
- 10 Wood
- 10 Stone
- 10 Machine Parts
Tree Plantation [2 Jobs][]
These trees are kept in an optimal environment and regrow faster than trees on the world surface. Woodcutters from a Woodcutting Center can help cut them down. Plantations contain 100 wood. Trees grow 1/3 every day with both workers under normal speed. This is increased to 40% every day when next to a lab with tree growth gas, and with the automatic water management upgrade, this increases to over 100% per day.
Materials required to make:
- 10 Stone
- some Knowledge*
Rock Teleporter [1 Job][]
Teleports meteoroids to your city. Miners from Stone Mines can then gather stone from them. Meteoroids can contain up to 150 stone with the precise universe mapping upgrade form the supercomputer; otherwise they will contain 50 stone.
Materials required to make:
- 30 Wood
- 30 Machine Parts
- some Knowledge*
Refined Metals Factory [2 Jobs][]
Produces refined metals from stone. Five stone is needed to make one unit of refined metal. Produces 1 refined metal every 8 seconds with both workers under normal speed. This is reduced to every 6 seconds with the firmware modding upgrade, and down to every 5 seconds when the optimized temperature curve upgrade is discovered from a space mission.
Materials required to make:
- 30 Wood
- 90 Metal
- 40 Machine Parts
- 150 Knowledge *
Computer Chip Factory [3 Jobs][]
Produces computer chips from refined metals. Seven units of refined metals are needed to make one computer chip. You can get this via this step of progress: first build 5 labs. then build the computing research center. the computer chip factory will then appear in production! Produces one chip every 25 seconds, and up to half that if all upgrades (Die Shrink, Chip Binning, and Optimized Layouts) are researched, if all workers are present and the game is at normal speed.
Materials required to make:
- 200 Stone
- 100 Machine Parts
- 20 Refined Metal
- 300 Knowledge*
Eco Farm [3 Jobs][]
Produces food sustainably. Also generates a small amount of nature entertainment happiness. 1 Food is harvested every 2 seconds from the left plot, every 1 second from the top plot, every 1 seconds from the bottom plot.
Materials required to make:
- 10 Wood
- 2 Stone
- some Knowledge*
Farm By Product Processor [2 Jobs][]
Produces wood for each adjacent farm. Each farm only produces enough by-products for one By-Product Processor. Produces 1 wood every 4 seconds for each farm it processes.
Materials required to make:
- 200 Wood
- 100 Machine Parts
- 5 Computer Chips
- some Knowledge*
Experimentation Lab [2 Jobs][]
Scientists experiment with machine parts here. You earn five knowledge for every machine part used. This knowledge production is faster than with normal labs. Refined Metal Factories above and below this building work faster and use 10% less stone per unit of refined metal. Produces 1 knowledge every 3 seconds with all workers under normal speed.
Materials required to make:
- 100 Machine Parts
- 50 Refined Metals
- 5 Computer Chips
- 5000 Knowledge*
Graphene Lab [4 Jobs][]
This lab researches the production and applications of graphene. Workers gather knowledge. They also slowly produce graphene for two stone per sheet. This does not exist on the Flash version. Ridiculously slow (<1 graphene per day).
Materials Required to Make:
- 1000 stone
- 1000 machine parts
- 500 refined metal
- 100 computer chips
- 25000 knowledge*
*only for first time building
Graphene Factory [4 Jobs][]
This factory makes graphene. To make one sheet of graphene, 10 knowledge and 1 stone is used. If the factory is placed directly to the right of a rock teleporter, no stone is used. This is unlocked when you have 10 Graphene Labs running simultaneously, although it does not have an unlock icon on the building menu after creating your first graphene lab. Produces 1 Sheet of graphene every day with all workers under normal speed. Doesn't exist in the Flash Version
Materials Required to Make:
- 2500 Machine Parts
- 100 Refined Metals
- 200 Computer Chips
- 10 Graphene
Dome Tree Plantation [2 Jobs][]
Because of optimal light conditions, these trees regrow even faster than those in a tree plantation. Grows 2-4% every second with both workers (2 days to fully grow). Doesn't exist in the Flash Version.
Materials Required to Make:
- 10 Stone
Rocket Fuel Factory [2 Jobs][]
Makes Rocket Fuel from either food or wood. One unit of resource is used to create one unit of rocket fuel. Produces 1 Fuel every 8 seconds with both workers under normal speed. This is reduced to 6 seconds when the decomposing bacteria is found during a space mission, and down to 4 seconds when metabolic engineering is researched after a space mission. Doesn't exist in the Flash version
Materials Required to Make:
- 100 Machine Parts
- 50 Refined Metal
- 10 Computer Chips
