- Materials are transported between buildings using belts (straight, curved) and splitters.
- Buildings accept any material delivered by belts feeding into them; there are no labeled input ports. Each building has one fixed output port.
- A building's input buffer holds up to twice the amount needed for one production cycle of the selected recipe.

## Buildings
| Building | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **HQ** | 4×3 | Pre-placed. Accepts building blocks via belt and adds them to the global stock. |
| **Miner** | 2×2 | Player selects which ore type to extract. Ore never depletes. |
| **Smelter** | 2×2 | Converts ore or scrap into basic materials. No recipe selection needed. |
| **Assembler** | 3×3 | Player selects a recipe. Produces building blocks or intermediate/advanced products. |
| **Reprocessing Plant** | 3×3 | Converts scrap into higher-level products with fixed probabilities per product type. |
| **Shipyard** | 4×2 | Player selects a blueprint. Produces that ship type when required materials are available. |
| **Belt** | 1×1 | Transports materials. Comes in straight and curved variants. |
| **Splitter** | 1×1 | Splits a belt's flow into two outputs. |
