The Planetary Base is a Dark Fog structure build by a Relay Station after installing a Core Driller on a planets surface. Is consists of a variety of production and defense facilities, and will grow over time till it has reached its maximum size. It receives its matter from the Core Driller and its energy from the Relay Station connected to it.
Trivia
A planetary base will store up around 9500 matter, then it begins construction of the first buildings.
The Planetary Base will store a maximum of 15.000 matter, anything above that also gets sent to the Relay.
A Planetary Base will produce 180 matter / second, unless it has entered overdrive mode.
Overdrive Mode is triggered by close proximity of Icarus or a Signal Tower. It increases matter and unit production speed tenfold.
If the Relay is destroyed the Base will quickly run out of power reserves since it has no power generation of its own, rendering it dormant.
Composition
The Planetary Base consists of three distinct rings:
Central Ring. Buildings here progress at a speed of 1% every 6 seconds, meaning one building takes 10 minutes to build. Each building is located on the hard foundation section, which contains:
3 Raider Camps
3 Plasma Sentries
Second Ring. Buildings here progress at a speed of 0.1% every 6 seconds, meaning each building takes 1 hour 40 minutes to build, but build in nearly all at once. Buildings are located on the ground, and consist of:
6 Ranger Camps
3 Raider Camps
3 Unknown Structures
Third Ring. Buildings here progress at a speed of 0.3% every six seconds, meaning each building takes about 33 minutes to build, but build fewer at once Buildings are located on the ground, and consist of:
9 High Energy Laser Towers
6 Guardian Camps
3 Ranger Camps
3 Plasma Sentries
Buildings
Raider Camp
Dark Fog's production facility, which is used to produce
powerful close-quarter ground units like Raiders.
Raiders float above the ground and possess formidable
attack and defense capability. Raiders are named after
an extremely curious engineer. After landing, he went
to search the ground base but was raided by a newly
produced Raider.
Durability: 1000 HP+ 60 / Level
Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level
Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec
Power Consumption: 1.2 MW
Idle Power Consumption: 400 kW
Production Rate: (to be added)
Ranger Camp
Dark Fog's production facility, which is used
to produce long-range ground units like Rangers.
Before variation, Rangers had been the defensive
security system of the ground base. They patrolled
around the base to clear away any threats.
After variation, they became more aggressive.
Durability: 900 + 55 / Level
Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level
Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec
Power Consumption: 1.2 MW
Idle Power Consumption: 400 kW
Production Rate: (to be added)
Guardian Camp
Dark Fog's production facility, which is used to produce
powerful ground defense units like Guardians. Guardians
offer strong protection to nearby Dark Fog, which is how
they got their name.
Durability: 800 + 50 / Level
Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level
Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec
Power Consumption: 1.2 MW
Idle Power Consumption: 400 kW

Plasma Sentry
High-energy crystals are used as its plasma exciter.
They can quickly stimulate plasmas to be used as
weapons. They usually appear inside a Planetary Base to
provide powerful suppressive fire
Durability: 700 + 55 / Level
Armor: 0 + 0,20 / Level
Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec
Power Consumption:

High-energy Laser Tower
Three main pumping sources stimulate its lasers.
Meanwhile, three energy boosters are equipped to
improve the control of the lasers. This design
optimizes laser output with higher energy while
still maintaining high stability and accuracy. It
usually appears on the periphery of the Planetary Base.
Durability: 800 + 60 / Level
Armor: 0 + 0,2 / Level
Construction: 100 kW + 2 Matter / sec
Power Consumption:
Engaging: 6.0 MW
On Alert: 2.4 MW

Unknown Structure
Although this building is mentioned in all reports,
for now we still don't know its specific functions.
It is huge and eye-catching. Maybe it connects the
Planetary Base and the Hive. Or maybe it's still developing.
research on it is still on progress. Hopefully its mystery
will be revealed one day.

Planetary Base (core)
Dark Fog's brain above the planet, it follows two simple
rules: First, never build unnecessary structures; Second,
clear any threats near the base. A Planetary Base will
regularly assess its nearby environment. If a threat is
identified, it will give an order to its Camps to
accelerate production. A Planetary Base will dig wells
deep into the planet to exploit core matter. Such matter
will then be used to build structures and units. This
technology grants a high degree of freedom in evolution
to its units,and this may have induced the Dark Fog's
variation. Therefore, this technology has been prohibited
by the COSMO Technology Ethics Committee. You can still
see the core even after a Planetary Base is destroyed.
Frankly, only a few engineers were lucky enough to witness
