Terran Advanced Buildings
Back to Basic Buildings		Back to Terran

Factory    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Armored Vehicle         Building Cost: 200100 Build Time: 80 Requires: Barracks Hit Points: 1250 Allows You to Make: Vulture Machine Shop Starport Armory Many Terran buildings have the ability to lift off and fly to a new location. While it is flying, it is extremely slow moving and very vulnurable to attack.

The Factory produces all your ground armored vehicles for the Terran. But without the Machine Shop addon there isn't much use for it other than making Vultures and Goliaths, since the main purpose for the Factory is the Siege Tank. Later in the game, most people have 2 or 3 of these if they aren't building air so that they can quickly pump out Tanks and Goliaths.

Machine Shop    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Utility Building Cost: 5050 Build Time: 40 Requires: Factory Hit Points: 500 Allows You to Make: Siege Tank Ion Thrusters greatly increases the movement speed of the Vulture, making them the fastest moving unit in the game. 100 100 This upgrades your Vultures to be able to place up to 3 spider mines. 100 100 Before you can convert your Tanks into Siege Mode, you must upgrade it at the Machine Shop. 150 150 Charon Boosters greatly increases the range of the Goliaths ground to air missles. 150 150

The Machine Shop is a good idea to have at all your Factories. It is an addon that upgrades all of your armored vehicles abilites. If you do not have one of these, you won't be able to make any

Starport    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Air Vehicle         Building Cost: 200100 Build Time: 80 Requires: Factory Hit Points: 1300 Allows You to Make: Wraith Control Tower Many Terran buildings have the ability to lift off and fly to a new location. While it is flying, it is extremely slow moving and very vulnurable to attack.

The Starport, along with the Factory, is among the most important buildings you can build. If you want to rely on air, you should build about 2 or 3 of these. Ideally, you will want about 2 Starports and 2 Factories.

Control Tower    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Utility Building Cost: 5050 Build Time: 40 Requires: Factory Hit Points: 500 Allows You to Make: Dropship Science Vessel Battlecruiser Valkyrie Cloaking is researched at the Control Tower for use by your Wraiths. 150 150 Apollo Reactor increases the maximum energy of your Wraith to 250. 200 200

The Control Tower is important if you plan on building anything other than Wraiths at your Starport. It is also required if you plan on cloaking your Wraiths. So pretty much, if you don't build a Control Tower, then you need therapy! Uncloakable Wratihs are useless! And Cloakable wraiths are ALMOST useless. So build one of these always.

Armory    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Vehicle Upgrade         Building Cost: 10050 Build Time: 80 Requires: Factory Hit Points: 750 Allows You to Make: Goliath Valkyrie This upgrades the attack power of the Vulture, Siege Tank, and Goliath. Level 1: 100 100 Level 2: 175 175 Level 3: 150 150 This upgrades the armor of the Vulture, Siege Tank, and the Goliath. Level 1: 100 100 Level 2: 175 175 Level 3: 250 250 This upgrades the attack power of the Wraith, Battlecruiser, and Valkyrie. Level 1: 100 100 Level 2: 150 150 Level 3: 200 200 This upgrades the armor of the Wraith, Dropship, Battlecruiser, Science Vessel, and Valkyrie. Level 1: 150 150 Level 2: 225 225 Level 3: 300 300

The Armory is where you upgrade all your air and ground vehicles. It is also required to build Goliaths and Valkyries. So it isn't that vital of a building until late game.

Science Facility    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Utility Building Cost: 150200 Build Time: 80 Requires: Factory Hit Points: 1500 Allows You to Make: Science Vessel Physics Lab Covert Ops EMP Shockwave is upgraded here for use by your Science Vessels. 200 200 Irradiate is upgraded here for use by your Science Vessels. 150 150 Titan Reactor increases the maximum energy of your Science Vessels to 250. 150 150 Many Terran buildings have the ability to lift off and fly to a new location. While it is flying, it is extremely slow moving and very vulnurable to attack.

The Science Facility is important for many things. It allows you to build the only mobile detector for the Terran, and is also requred to build Battlecruisers, Nukes, and Ghosts.

Physics Lab    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Utility Building Cost: 5050 Build Time: 40 Requires: Science Facility Hit Points: 600 Allows You to Make: Battle Cruiser Yamato Canon is researched here for use by your Battlecruisers. 200 200 Colossus Reactor increases the maximum energy of your Battlecruisers to 250. 150150

The Battlecruiser cannot be buiilt until you build one of these. Being at the very top of the Tech Tree, you won't be able to build the Battlecruiser until the very late game.

Covert Ops    Stats Upgrades/Special Abilites   Building Type: Utility Building Cost: 5050 Build Time: 40 Requires: Science Facility Hit Points: 750 Allows You to Make: Ghost Nuclear Silo Cloaking is researched here for use by your Ghosts. 100 100 Lockdown is researched here for use by your Ghosts. 200 200 Ocular Implants increases the sight and range of your ghosts. 100 100 Moebus Reactor increases the maximum energy of your Ghosts to 250. 150 150

Ghosts and Nukes are possible after you build the Covert Ops. You can only have either a Covert Ops or a Physics Lab at a Science Facility at once, not both.
