The Building 1x1 (1S) is a player-buildable structure. The first building that the player can place, not counting the deployable Central Command, is the Building 1x1 (1S). True to its name, the building occupies a 1x1 footprint and features one Small socket, three Internal sockets and four Inventory slots. Its successor is the Building 1x1 (2S) which has a second Small socket. While the 2S Building obsoletes the 1S in most ways, the 1S does feature additional inventory space and requires only ingredients which can be found or obtained with entry-level technologies.

The Building 1x1 (2S) is a player-buildable structure. Featuring two Small sockets, two Internal sockets and two Inventory slots on a 1x1 platform, this building is an upgrade to the 1x1 (1S) configuration. The second slot Small socket allows for stacking of multiple Components in a small area, such as two Fabricators to accelerate processing of Iron Ore or two Small Turrets to better defend against Bug incursions. Aside from its higher construction cost, the 1x1 2S's main downside compared to the 1S is the reduced inventory space.
Tips:
・
The Building 1x1 (1M) is a structure which can be built and used by the player. The smallest building to sport a Medium socket, its lackluster inventory capacity makes it unsuitable for an Assembler unless complimented with other technology such as an Internal Storage Component. It is also an effective platform for Components such as a Turret, Power Field or Repair Component which don't require or interact with inventory.

The Building 2x1 (1M1S) is a player-buildable structure. This building features one Medium socket, one Small socket and four Inventory slots on a 2x1 footprint. Its ability to support Assemblers and other production components make it more flexible than the 1x1 platforms available near its place in the tech tree. This can also reduce the player's reliance on the Command Center for Medium components.
Tips:
A versatile Medium Building with suitable space for utilizing Assemblers or Robotics Assemblers.
A versatile Medium Building with ample storage and suitable slots for utilizing multiple Fabricators in conjunction with an Assembler or Robotics Assembler.
