Fertilization Plant		Increases prosperity speed	200	See Buildings effect on Power Levels
Internet		Increases research speed	250	See Buildings effect on Power Levels
Cloning Plant		Doesn't change prosperity speed, but gives you two free population instead of one when it grows.	250	See Buildings effect on Power Levels
Observation Installation		Lets you scan the contents of alien space ships.	40	-
Tractor Beam		You can pull ships closer to your planet to use short range weapons or bring a damaged and lame ship back home before it is destroyed.	50	-
Surface Shield		Destroy invaders on a one to one ratio.	100	Destroyed when invaded
Surface Mega Shield		Same as Surface Shield but 2 x stronger	180	Destroyed when invaded
