EnglishIncreasing the Maximum Upgrade Level of Structures
In Space Empires: Battle for Supremacy, players build structures on planets which provide for everything they need to expand their empire, such as harvesting resources, building warships and defending their planets.
The functions of each structure improve when players increase the structure level by upgrading them. Structure upgrades have resource and technology requirements which increase per structure level. The higher the level of the structure, the more functions they can provide but players can only upgrade structures until a specified maximum.
However, players can still increase its level past the maximum by using a special item called the Integrated Enhancement Module. This item increases the upgrade level past the maximum by 1 (one) level, and players can use up to 5 of this item per structure. There are five Integrated Enhancement Modules, and for each level past the current maximum, a player needs the corresponding item.
Here is the process for creating and using the Integrated Enhancement Module item:
- Players can find the Integrated Enhancement Module item recipes under the Inventory > Special > Structure Requirements. All five Module items are in this section. Clicking them brings up the list of the item parts required to build the chosen Module.
- Once players have acquired the necessary item parts for creating the Module item of a specified level, they can input the number of Module items that they want to build (a player can build multiple Modules provided they have enough item parts to build them), and then click the “Build” button to create the item/s. The number of Modules items you build will reflect on the “Quantity” counter next to the item description of the corresponding Module.
- Players can increase the maximum upgrade level of any structure on their planets provided they have the corresponding Module item needed for the maximum level increase. For example, a player has already used an Integrated Enhancement Module I to get a structure to level 26. He needs an Integrated Enhancement Module II to upgrade the structure to level 27.
