Planets

Planets are the biggest part of your empire, it is what your empire is based on, usually the more planets you have the stronger is your empire. In the planet menu you can see a list of your planets, as well as the maximum number of buildings they can support and the number of buildings on them. You can build more buildings than the planet can support buy every next building you build after you reach the maximum will cost more and more money, the price will follow equation y=x²,where x is the number of buildings over the maximum and y is the price. So for example if you have twice the maximum amount of buildings, then the price would go up by a factor of 4. If you have more buildings on the planet than the maximum number it can support, then the increased cost will be shows next to the total amount of buildings. Also the current and the maximum population per planet is shown. The maximum population of the planet in directly proportional to the number of buildings the planet can support. The factor is 1:200, so for each building the planet can support there we be 200 people, so if a planet can support 100 buildings the maximum population will be 20000. Also you will see whether or not there is a Portal on the planet, if there is no portal you will be offered to build one. Protection shows how protected your planet is, 100% is only achieved if you have a portal in the planet's system, the farther you get away from the nearest portal the less protected your planet will be.. Here is a sample planet list:

Planet Size Buildings Population  Build Protection   1,3:0 450 900 +281.44% 90000 / 90000 Build Portal-100% +50% 1,8:0 267 267 53400 / 53400 Build 10% +45% 2,1:0 162 162 32400 / 32400 Build  Portal-100% +90% 3,3:0 278 278 55600 / 55600 Build  45% +30% 3,7:0 185 185 37000 / 37000 Build  15% +20% 5 Planets 1142 1392 +56.2% 228400 / 228400 2 Portals

Notice that each of those planets has a special bonus next to each, each one of those bonuses contributes to the production of specific resource on the planet and going from top to bottom the pictures represent: Energy Bonus, Mineral Bonus, Crystal Bonus, Ectrolium Bonus and Energy Bonus again, the planets with bonuses are rather rare and don't expect that many of your will have bonuses on them and also don't expect the numbers to be round like mine.

Notice the check boxes after each planet, this is done to save you the time of build separately on each planet, so say if you want to build a 100 buildings on 5 planets of your choosing, you just mark the boxes next to them and click on "Build on Selected Planets".
