Buildings and Upgrades in Project Tomorrow
A system-level guide to deciding what to build and upgrade without pretending that unreleased costs or recipes are known.
The building system
Building is one of Project Tomorrow's confirmed pillars. Construction expands the foothold, supports survival and creates the infrastructure needed for terraforming and defense.
Choose by purpose
- Terraforming structures advance the restoration goal and need protection.
- Storage and utility structures reduce friction between gathering and construction.
- Defensive structures protect the base when alien waves arrive.
- Survival structures support food, water and continued exploration.
Upgrade priorities
Upgrade the systems that unlock your next safe action: resource flow, survival, terraforming or defense. Pair this with Resource Uplink and Defense rather than chasing a universal best order.
What remains unknown
Official sources do not provide a complete building catalogue, costs, upgrade levels or demolition rules. The site will expand those details only after they are verifiable in the game or an official update.
FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
What should I build first?
Prioritize the structures that let you gather, survive, terraform and defend; the exact order depends on the current demo state and available resources.
Are building costs listed here?
Not unless officially confirmed. Unpublished costs and upgrade values are intentionally omitted.
Should I make separate pages for every building?
Not yet. A category and upgrade guide is more useful until the full catalogue and independent search intent are verifiable.
