Space Constructions

Beyond mines and planetary buildings, 5Dim lets you erect space constructions: stations, orbital defenses and colossal megastructures that expand your empire's power across the galaxy. They are medium and long-term goals that require a solid economy and, often, the collaboration of an entire alliance. This guide covers the main space structures, what they are for and when it makes sense to build them.

What are space constructions?

Unlike planetary buildings, space constructions are erected in space itself and project their effects beyond themselves. Some boost your economy, others reinforce your defense, and the most ambitious ones —the Motherships— grant unique advantages that can tip the balance of an entire game. Their cost is high, so they represent important milestones in your empire's development.

Space constructions belong to the advanced stages of the game. If you are just starting out, review the what to do roadmap first.

These are the main constructions you can build in space:

Wonder
WonderOnly available at the end of the round, it appears in sector 0,0. The player or alliance that keeps it built for one week earns a large Novas prize at the end of the round.
Dyson Sphere
Dyson SphereCaptures the energy of a star, allowing you to send fleets to its owner and allies at a much higher speed.
Citadel
CitadelAllows you to build a single module with a very important upgrade for the entire alliance.
Sector Defense
Sector DefenseJoins combat alongside an allied fleet anywhere in the sector.
Bank

Prospecting
ProspectingEnables defense of allied collections on that asteroid.
Mothership

Artificial Wormhole
Artificial WormholeLinks with natural wormholes and those of your allies to shorten fleet travel times.

Collective alliance constructions

The most expensive space constructions are usually built with the support of alliance members. Through the alliance bank, members deposit resources into a common fund for alliance research. The result benefits all members, making these constructions a top-level cooperative goal.

Coordinating the construction of space structures among alliance members brings the cooperative component to 5Dim.

Not sure which structure to start with? Always prioritize the ones that reinforce your weak point: economy, defense or mobility. Check the combat guide if your priority is to protect yourself from attacks.
