Understand minerals, catalyst, supply and the infrastructure behind your army. See what each structure does and what it unlocks.
The living headquarters: produces Cultivators and receives harvested minerals.
Keep worker production moving and protect at least one completed Mother Core.
Losing your last completed headquarters ends the match. A growing replacement does not count yet.
Full dossier
The main ground-combat hatchery for Ridgebacks, Acid Spitters and Spinecasters.
Build a frontline, answer enemy armor and add early anti-air without advanced research.
Needs active connected living substrate and a clear exit. Each hatchery has its own paid production queue.
Full dossier
Starts an independent living organism: its active radius grows from 96 to 640 over 20 seconds.
Grow active ground under your first hatchery. At 75% growth the first developed site adds ten supply places.
Separated developed sites support supply and production. Severing a root immediately stops dependent branches; there is no energy budget.
Full dossier
A rooted defense organism dependent on active living substrate that attacks ground enemies near your base.
Attacks: Ground only
Protect an entrance or mineral line while the mobile army is away.
Cannot target aircraft and stops firing outside active living territory. Siege can attack from outside its range.
Full dossier
A light support branch for Prowlers, Menders and Symbionts.
Add reconnaissance and recovery early; unlock Symbionts after completing a War Hatchery.
Needs active connected living substrate and a clear exit. Support organisms need a fighting force around them.
Full dossier
An advanced production branch for Sporecasters, Mistweavers and Spewer backline firepower.
Combine delayed siege impacts, movement control and protected acid salvos when advancing on ground forces.
Requires Specialized Production and a completed Gene Chamber. Its specialists need vision and protection.
Full dossier
The research organ for Specialized Production, Logistics and Field Engineering.
Develop the technologies needed for advanced hatcheries, aerial forces and field specialists.
Needs active connected living territory and HQ Development for advanced unlocks. Srost research requires a Growth Node; losing the chamber does not erase completed research.
Full dossier
Gradually extends connected living territory and out-of-combat recovery, and adds supply at separated developed sites.
Let the parent region reach the new node, then expand toward more territory. Separated, developed sites improve hatchery production.
Sites need 75% growth and 384 world units of separation to add ten supply places each. Cutting a connection immediately removes the branch’s operation, supply and recovery benefits. Overlapping nodes do not multiply recovery.
Full dossier
A logistics branch that produces Brood Carriers and Burrowers.
Evacuate survivors in a Brood Carrier or prepare a short burrow transfer within living territory.
Requires Logistics, a Small Hatchery and Mother Core. Needs active living substrate and clear production exits.
Full dossier
The field-specialist branch for Grapplers and Parasites.
Hold enemies inside your spore fields or infect and weaken a dangerous combat unit.
Requires Field Engineering, a War Hatchery and a Gene Chamber. These specialists depend on careful positioning.
Full dossier
A dedicated aerial hatchery for Stinger fighters and Blightwing ground attackers.
Open an air route after Specialized Production and combine the two creatures according to the enemy’s targets.
Needs active living territory and advanced research. Flying units still need protection from fighters and anti-air.
Full dossier
A living-territory-dependent anti-air defense organism available without advanced research.
Attacks: Air only
Guard important hatcheries and harvesting lines against aircraft.
Targets aircraft only. Ground attackers and severed roots need a different defensive answer.
Full dossier
Researches three levels of biological weapons, shells and recovery for the brood.
Protect it inside your living network and improve the army that holds your expanding territory.
Needs active connected living territory for research. Upgrades compete with new hatcheries and expansion.
Full dossier
A worker-operated catalyst organ grown directly on a catalyst deposit.
Staff it with up to three Cultivators in a camp with a completed Mother Core before advanced research.
Shares the camp worker limit with minerals. Living territory does not create free resources; this is not a mineral receiver.
Full dossierColonist buildings operate independently. Khars need direct resonance coverage; Srost needs connected living ground. Supply is separate, and paid queues reserve it immediately.
