Question about buildings

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm kind of confused about something.

When I'm building I notice that there are often at least 2 of the same type of buildings available to choose from. For instance Market Center, Adv Market Center and Banking center to choose from for income boosts. Research Academy, Research center and Research Coordination for research boosts. And so on...

I'm just kind of confused.... how much of each type of building I should try to build? All the same? A mix? I'm just confused on this.

Thx for any help.

You have the 'all' column of your building menu selected (at the top of the column), so you are seeing every generation of technology.

Though there are sometimes strategic reasons for building earlier, less productive buildings, I recommend that until you get used to the tech tree you change the selection to 'newest'.

Re the Research Coordination Center: the 'main sequence' lab buildings produce a fixed number of tp's per building, increaseing as you get the technology for better buildings, and you are allowed to build as many of those buildings as you have space and money for. The Research Coordination Center is a 'unique' building that you are allowed to build once on any given planet (once you have the tech), which provides a 25% bonus to the points produced by all of that planet's labs.

The power plants (3 types, in a sequence of technology) provide a similar percentage boost to mp's on a planet.
