* The [[Space Hive|Hive]] is a megastructure, floating in space, spread across different systems. Each system that the Dark Fog inhabits has one or more Hives that acts as their centers of operations. A Hive can construct various defenses for itself, as well as energy collectors in the form of Photon Collectors. The Hive also can build and dispatch Relays, which attach to planets to create or reinforce a Planetary Base. | * The [[Space Hive|Hive]] is a megastructure, floating in space, spread across different systems.

It provides the ground structures with energy from the Hive, and sends the Matter collected by the Planetary Base core to the Hive. A Relay will retreat and return to the Hive if the Core Driller is filled in with [[Foundation|Foundations]] or covered by a [[Geothermal Power Station]], or if the base is repeatedly destroyed and it runs out of matter to rebuild it. It is possible to attack the Relay directly by enabling Upper Air targeting for [[Missile Turret|Missile Turrets]], but this will dramatically increase the Hive's threat level and is not recommended for the early game. | ||
** A [[Core Driller]], located just below the Relay, around which ground structures are constructed. It is the first structure built when a Relay settles on a planet and produces matter using the planet's magma. Matter is used by the Planetary Base to build new structures, create new units, or when it has stockpiled enough, send shuttles via the Relay to provide matter for the Hive. | ** A [[Core Driller]], located just below the Relay, around which ground structures are constructed.

** Multiple Camps, specific to a unit type. The camps use matter and energy to create new units to defend the Planetary Base or launch attacks on the player and his facilities. Each camp has an "overdrive" mode, which will enhance the camp's ability to create units and extract matter by the factor of 10. This is triggered by proximity of [[Icarus]] or [[Signal Tower|Signal Towers]]. | ** Multiple Camps, specific to a unit type.
