Structures

Overview
Structures are built by the player to create factories which produce and deliver delicious Soup. They are selected from the Construction Menu, accessed by pressing Tab (by default, for keyboard & mouse controls). There are four tabs in this menu. The Soups and Infrastructure tabs contain the majority of factory buildings, and the Structures within them cost Matter to place. The Shop tab contains a variety of Defense Towers and Robots for protection and automation of the factory. It also contains other miscellaneous items including Weapons, Vehicles and Warpgates. Shop items cost Gold to purchase.

When a Structure is selected, the camera will pan out and an outline of the Structure appears on the cursor. The outline can then be positioned and confirmed to place the Structure. Some Structures may be rotated (or otherwise modified) with A and D (keyboard controls), and multiples of the same Structure may be placed by holding Shift.

Shop
There are several categories of items available from the Shop tab. Only the Structures are listed here; for other items available from the tab see Robots, Weapons and Vehicles.

Defense Towers have a limited amount of ammo which is displayed as a counter on the structure. The player must manually refill them by standing on them and holding Control (keyboard) to open the Maintenance Menu. Doing so costs a small amount of Gold.
