STRUCTURE CORE

Low. Deployable anywhere. Essential for fuel self-sufficiency in the field.

Minimal. Portable, low footprint. Your first step into self-sufficiency.

Moderate. A fixed installation, but small footprint. Required to outfit your ships without trading.

Moderate. Expands your material options — useful if you have access to Printer S minerals rather than Portable Printer minerals.

REQUIRES: Portable Printer (for mineral supply)

High. A significant infrastructure investment, but essential for any pilot building frigates or larger.

REQUIRES: Portable Refinery (for ore supply chains)

High. Represents a major production capability leap — enables frigate-class ship manufacturing when combined with a Shipyard M.

REQUIRES: Printer S (for Echo Chamber) + Refinery M (for Shilajit)

Moderate. First step toward ship production. Requires Portable Printer for Nomad Frames and T1 components.

REQUIRES: Portable Printer (Nomad Frames + T1 components)

Very high. Large footprint, high resource cost to build. Only justified for high-volume production operations.

REQUIRES: Refinery M (operational experience)

Very high. Only needed if you intend to build Cruisers or Combat Battlecruisers.

REQUIRES: Printer M + Refinery M (for all inputs)

Very high. Requires a complete mid-tier production stack: Portable Printer + Printer S + Refinery M + Printer M.

REQUIRES: Printer M (Batched components + Frames) + Refinery M (Shilajit for frames)

Maximum. Corporation-level infrastructure. The Chumaq alone requires 1347 Cell Weave, 256 Packaged RA, and an Equilibrium Program Frame.

REQUIRES: Full stack: Portable Printer → Printer S → Printer M → Printer L + Refinery M
