Buildings

Buildings may be built on an base, where they provide resources, new hulls and armors, weapons, and build ships. Different buildings serve different purposes, and become more efficient and effective at higher levels.

Outpost

Outpost

Each base has only one outpost, which serves the function of regulating base advancement. In order to upgrade some buildings, they may require a higher level outpost. In order to upgrade an outpost, more resources or upgrades may be required. If your Outpost is destroyed in a base attack, you lose 20% of your resources on hand to the assaulting player.

Storage has been calculated by subtracting the capacity of the warehouses from the total. 

Resource Gatherers

These buildings gather resources over time, and can be upgraded to increase productivity. The Oil Rig, Metal Foundry, Wind Turbine, and Zynthium Refinery produce Oil, Metal, Energy and Zynthium respectively.

Oil Rig

Oil Rig

The oil rig is the base structure used for the production of Oil. Oil is the most common resources, and therefore the least valuable. Oil is used most prominently in the research and construction of hulls and the upgrading of buildings , but is also used otherwise. Oil is quickly produced by Oil Rigs at your base and by oil wells which can be commonly found at any level on the Map. Capturing an oil well gives your Oil Rigs an extra production bonus and can give you captured oil.

Metal Foundry

Metal Foundry

Metal is the second rarest resource to Zynthium, and has a wide variety of applications. It is prominently used in upgrading buildings and researching weapons and armor , but has many more applications.

Wind Turbine

Wind Turbine

The Wind Turbine is the base structure used for the production of Energy. Energy is the second most common resource to Oil. Energy is often used in great amounts, and sees a wide array of applications. Wind Turbines generate Energy, and are tied with Oil Rigs for the highest resource production rate.

Zynthium Refinery

Zynthium Refinery

The Zynthium Refinery is the base structure used for the production of Zynthium. Zynthium is the rarest of all resources in Battle Pirates, meriting the small requirements building, upgrading, or researching has for it. On the Map, Zynthium deposits are fairly rare and generally appear at high levels only around Draconian Bases. Smaller Zynthium deposits occur at around the same frequency as Oil Wells, Wind Turbines, and Metal Deposits.

Warehouse

Warehouse

The warehouse helps determine the maximum amount of each kind of resource the player may store at one time. As the number of warehouses and their levels increase, the maximum amount of resources that can be held are increased as well. The storage in the table below is per resource type. The maximum number of warehouses depends on the level of your Outpost. As the appearance of the amount of resources you have depends on the percentage of resources currently held in the warehouses, the higher-leveled your warehouses are, the greater the amount of resources required to create the same look. When your base is attacked, for each Warehouse destroyed you lose 10% of your resources on hand to the assaulting player.

Naval Buildings

Naval buildings along with your outpost are the most important buildings, to increase your wealth and amount of ships. With all your naval buildings upgraded you can hold more weight per fleet, and better armor.

War Academy

War Academy

The War Academy formerly known as the Pirate Academy allows the building of multiple fleets loosely composed of various ships. Upon each upgrade of the Pirate Academy, the space for one more fleet will be added to the Dock, and will allow more ships to be put on the map at any one time.

Dock

Dock

The Dock acts as the command center for all of a player's fleets. From the Dock, a player may make new fleets, change old fleets, and launch finished fleets. Players may also name their fleets, giving them an easy way to identify them while on the map. The Dock also acts as a center for repairing fleets that have been damaged in battle, and repair time varies with damage. One minute of repair time fixes approximately 60 armor (health) points. Each upgrade to your dock will result in the increase in max weight (tons) allowed per fleet.

Shipyard

Shipyard

The Shipyard allows a player to build ships with a variety of hulls, armors, and weapons. Once finalized, it can take the shipyard anywhere from a few minutes to an entire week to assemble a new ship. There is an offline Ship Builder utility available in which different hull configurations can be tested.

Level 2 Upgrade: More efficient ship construction miniaturizes components and gives you a 15% weight saving on weapons and armor.

Trading Post

Trading Post

The Trading Post serves as a station in which the player may exchange their Coins for various forms of assistance, ranging from resource filling and speeding up upgrades to ship building and speeding up research. Whether or not free coins will be added in a manner like Backyard Monsters is under dispute.

Building Fortification

Increases protection from enemy weapons. All buildings can now be fortified, excluding Defense Platforms and walls.
The most important buildings to fortify are your Outpost and Ware Houses to protect your resources. Fortifying your Dock is also a good idea, because players destroy them to avoid retaliation attacks. Also if you have Oil Rig's in your channel they can be fortified. The extra time needed to destroy them slows enemy fleets down, on the other hand, this makes your base less "bubble friendly".
