InfraSpace – Building Requirements Guide

Do you find it annoying how InfraSpace uses different times to build their resources so you have to whip out a calculator every single time you don’t know or remember how many resources the building needs and produces in a set time frame? Me too! But due to my inability to create mods, I will instead create a list of every building that produces something, what they require and how much they produce per minute. This also includes buildings that take more than 60 seconds to finish their cycle so you can plan ahead properly.

This guide was made with InfraSpace version 1.4.366.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

These values are valid only AFTER you finish repairing the colony ship. These values also run with no modifiers at 100% efficiency with maximum workforce so you can reliably design your cities and/or find out how many buildings you need to satisfy your requirements. Unfortunately bonuses between buildings are not listed in this guide either.

If buildings receives a boost from a repaired ship part, it will be listed in the section of each building.

Less important note:
Some of the information here might be redundant as buildings like VR-Edutainment Factory and Superconductor Factory already cycle once every 60 seconds. But then I thought it would be more convenient to just list everything in this guide anyway to avoid confusion about production amounts.

HABITAT BUILDINGS

Basic Habitat => Luxury Residential Highrise (52 inhabitants)

Habitats produce no goods but are unfortunately required to make your city function.

People, am I right? The following list contains each of the required resources to turn your Basic Habitats to Luxury Highrises and then keep them there. The amount of required resources will also change depending on how many people are living in the habitat. But for the sake of efficiency, I’m going to list what the largest fully packed level 6 habitat requires.

  • Oxygen: 1.4
  • Water: 1.4
  • Survival Food: 0.3
  • Good Meal: 1.1
  • Home Appliance: 0,8
  • Computer: 0,6
  • Park: On/Off
  • Home Robot: 0,6
  • Entertainment: On/Off
  • VR-Edutainment: 0,3
  • School: On/Off

One VR-Edutainment Factory can supply a total of 26 Highrises at most. One factory creates 8 VR-sets per minute while one habitat requires 0,3 per minute, so 8 / 0,3 ~ 26,67 habitats for one VR factory. But keep in mind that traffic is also a thing, which can slow down your deliveries.

And if you build many Basic Habitats to be upgraded at once, it’ll take a little while for everything to upgrade if you build according to the minimum requirements. This happens because habitats of different levels require different amount of Survival Food, the basic food item you need to supply your people.

People in Highrises (level 6 habitat) get used to Good Meals and require only 0,3 Survival Food when compared to those in Residential Buildings (level 4 habitat), requiring 0,8. Just be patient and let the Survival Foods roll down building by building. Or build a few extra Simple Farms to speed up the process until everything is upgraded.

COLOSSAL ADAMANTINE DRILL
