## Workers and Soldiers  


Workers are used in the building of all objects in the game and act as planet defence against Invasion. Your planet will naturally grow population at steady rate until your housing is filled.

An Army Barracks is required to begin Training Soldiers.

Soldiers are used to Invade hostile planets during the game and also act as planet defence against Invasion.

See [Invasion page](https://manual.darkgalaxy.com/books/interface-gameplay/page/invasion "Invasion") for more details.

## Metal

Accumulated on your planets by building metal producing structures. Used to construct all buildings and units in the game.

## Mineral

Accumulated on your planets by building mineral producing structures. Used to construct all buildings and units in the game.

## Food

Accumulated on your planets by building food producing structures. Used to feed workers and train soldiers.

## Energy

Accumulated on your planets by building energy producing structures. Consumed by structures, scanning, holo-ships.

## Ground space

Each planet will have a finite amount of ground space available. Once all space has been used you will not be able to construct further land-requiring buildings until reclaiming more space with [Land Reclamation](https://manual.darkgalaxy.com/list-of-structures.md#land-reclamation).

## Orbital space

Each planet will have a finite amount of orbital space available. Once all space has been used you will not be able to construct further orbit-requiring buildings until reclaiming more space with [Orbital Clearing](https://manual.darkgalaxy.com/list-of-structures.md#orbital-clearing).

## Research points

Research points are spent on technological advances, and are accumulated one point per turn across your whole empire.

# Travel Times

Travel takes :

- 8 turns between planets into the same system,
- 12 turns between systems into the same sector,
- 16 turns between sectors into the same galaxy,
- 24 turns between your home planet and any planet.

Intergalactic travel between the rings is designed to allow fleet mouvements inwards to take less time than it takes to move outwards.

All these travel time can be reduced by [structures built into planets](https://manual.darkgalaxy.com/books/quick-reference/page/list-of-structures "List of Structures") :

- **Space Tether** provides -1 travel time to ANY player, including enemy. Required at **Origin** planet only.
- **Hyperspace Beacon** grants -2 turns travel time to the player who own the planet. Required at **Destination** planet only.
- **Jump Gate** grants -2 turns travel time to all players of the same alliance. Required at both **Origin** and **Destination** planet.
