Missile Empire Buildings
Buildings are permanent plot structures that define your role in Missile Empire — passive earner, fortified turtle, or missile raider. Catalyst Games progression rewards stacking economy buildings before military ones, with offline income as a headline feature.
Economy buildings
Income Generator is the first building every player should place. Cash Factory scales mid-game output. Offline Vault captures earnings while logged off — critical for players who cannot babysit plots 24/7.
Upgrade paths multiply base rates. Community guides recommend alternating upgrades and new placements based on cash-per-second return timing.
Defense buildings
Shield Generator and Repair Station form the standard defensive duo. Shields block missiles; repairs restore deleted or damaged economy tiles without full repurchase in many cases.
Placement matters as much as purchase order — see Base Layout for clustering rules.
Military buildings
Missile Silo unlocks offensive launches. Buying silos before economy stabilizes is a common mistake — tier lists rank silos B-tier until income matures.
Late empire capstone buildings appear in endgame guides as completion goals once servers mature and bounty wars escalate.
Building synergies with codes
5KLIKES cash accelerates early building counts. COMBAT adds military value but should not skip generator placements — spend code rewards using the seventy-twenty-ten economy split from Active Codes guidance.
Buildings persist across sessions unless destroyed; protect them accordingly.
