Buildings and Upgrades

Select a team member, press BUILD and pick a spot. The nearest selected person walks over, pays the supplies when they arrive and builds from inside. Right-click cancels placing a building. Some missions only allow some buildings.

	Building	Cost	Build	HP	Use
	Base Camp -	20	13 s	200	Where supplies and eggs are delivered. Double-click it to recruit team members. Build it first, close to supplies and away from hunting trails.
	Base Camp Level 2 Base Camp + Tool Shed upgrade	20	instant	400	Bought at the Tool Shed: the camp is upgraded on the spot, no building work. Doubles its HP and unlocks the Electronics Shed, Hardened Shelter, High Hide and Science Lab.
	Tent Base Camp	3	4 s	30	Room for one team member, who is safe from attack inside and heals 1 HP every 26 s (every 2 min outside). Double-click the tent to bring them out.
	Shelter Base Camp, Tool Shed	7	5 s	60	A sturdier tent for one: heals 1 HP every 13 s.
	Hardened Shelter Base Camp Level 2, Tool Shed	15	8 s	120	The strongest shelter, for one: heals 1 HP every 8 s.
	Artificial Nest Base Camp	12	6 s	25	Hatches eggs from your inventory. Double-click it to choose a species.
	Incubator Base Camp, Tool Shed	25	10 s	75	Hatches eggs twice as fast as the nest.
	Tool Shed Base Camp	25	10 s	150	First upgrade shop: vision, armour, speed and carrying, plus the Base Camp Level 2 upgrade.
	Electronics Shed Base Camp Level 2	35	13 s	250	Second shop: better vision, speed and carrying, and the first damage upgrade.
	Science Lab Base Camp Level 2, Electronics Shed	50	13 s	200	Top shop: the best armour and damage upgrades. Top damage also adds 2 tiles of range.
	High Hide Base Camp Level 2, Tool Shed	10	5 s	75	A lookout for one. The person inside is safe from attack and the hide sees twice as far as they do (no faster healing); it keeps that view after they leave. Double-click it to bring them out.
	Fire Barrier Base Camp	15	9 s	35	Wild and hunter-owned dinosaurs keep away from it (hunters will still attack it). Build them around your camp.

Cost is in supplies. Build time is at normal game speed with one builder. Second line = what must be built first. To repair, select a team member, press REPAIR and click the building.

Upgrades

Double-click a shop to buy an upgrade for one named team member who is on the map. Upgrades belong to the person, not the unit, so they carry over to every later mission. Each one adds its level to the raw stat: a +2 upgrade replaces a +1, it does not stack on it, and you can buy the +2 without ever buying the +1. Research Assistants cannot be upgraded. Every upgrade a person owns makes them dearer to recruit, by that upgrade's shop price.

Some missions also hide equipment: a supply crate (or a supply-plane drop) that the mission file names after an upgrade, for example speed2. It is placed by the mission, not random. Whoever picks it up gets the supplies, and you choose which team member gets the equipment: it sets that stat to the equipment's level (+1 or +2, never added on top), so only someone with a lower level can take it. Damage +2 equipment also adds 2 tiles of range. The Mission Archive lists where each piece is.

	Upgrade	Shop	Cost	Effect
	Vision +1	Tool Shed	2	sees 1 tile further
	Armour +1	Tool Shed	5	1 less damage from every hit
	Speed +1	Tool Shed	5	speed +1 (moves 1 pixel further each tick)
	Carry +1	Tool Shed	3	1 more supply per trip
	Damage +1	Electronics Shed	7	+1 to both damage numbers, so +1 to every hit
	Vision +2	Electronics Shed	4	sees 2 tiles further
	Speed +2	Electronics Shed	10	speed +2
	Carry +2	Electronics Shed	6	2 more supplies per trip
	Armour +2	Science Lab	10	2 less damage from every hit
	Damage +2	Science Lab	14	+2 to every hit and 2 tiles of range

Hatching

Carry an egg to the Base Camp, then double-click the Artificial Nest or Incubator and choose the species. Eggs you don't hatch stay in your inventory for later missions and add to your score (not on EXTINCTION).
