Your Camp

Camp is your base of operations? : a grid of buildings? around a central Command Center? . Everything you build, craft, breed and research runs from here.

THE COMMAND CENTER GATES EVERYTHING

  • The Command Center is the HQ. Its level is the hard cap on every other building's level, so upgrading it is the first step to everything else.
  • It also sets how many buildings the camp can hold: 5 base, +1 per level.
  • Most buildings need a minimum Command Center level before they can be built at all.

BUILDING & UPGRADING

  • Each building goes up to level 30, granting benefits that scale per level (some hitting a cap).
  • Upgrade costs climb by a cost factor (~×1.26) per level.
  • Build timers scale with the cost of the step, and a higher Command Center level speeds every timer up.
  • Every building also has dedicated tier-2 and tier-3 upgrade costs using refined materials (cut stone, reinforced timber, refined metal, and eventually Atmos components).
Grow the Command Center early — it sets your building count, unlocks other buildings, and speeds up every build timer.
