Construction

Construction is a big part of Interplanetary, and allows you to make offensive, defensive, and production oriented buildings.

Solar Plant
Produces Power without using Material. The Solar Plant is the main method of power generation in the universe of Interplanetary. Using a large array of solar panels and mirrors which concentrate the energy to a single point, the Solar Plant is a tower of power modeled after real-life solar tower applications.
