[[Category: Obsolete (Long War)]]
The XCOM Headquarters is made up of numerous facilities that are responsible for managing and supplementing the base's important strategic and research functions. The base building in Long War is mostly the same as vanilla, with pretty much every building doing what you'd expect it to from vanilla. Base facilities can optionally be built quickly by selecting the option when building the facility, which will make it cost considerably more cash and some Meld.
 
 
 
==Static facilities==
 
Several crucial facilities are automatically available to player and their base locations remain static throughout the game.
 
 
 
===[[Mission Control (Long War)|Mission Control]]===
 
The focus of XCOM engagement. Features a rotating hologram of Earth (referred to by Bradford as a 'hologlobe'). In this room you can scan for incoming alien contacts through XCOM's satellite network (allowing for the passage of time), and missions can be launched from here.
 
 
 
===[[Situation Room (Long War)|Situation Room]]===
 
The Situation Room has two primary uses. The first is monitoring the panic levels the individual nations of The Council and launching satellites to help mitigate that panic and provide additional coverage against alien UFOs. The second is managing XCOM's finances and resources; in the Situation Room you can see your monthly expenditures and incomes, visit the Gray Market, and review any Pending Requests from The Council.
 
 
 
===[[Engineering (Long War)|Engineering]]===
 
This facility, managed by Dr. Shen, allows players to build a wide variety of items that have been researched by the scientists in the labs or designed by the engineers in the Foundry.
 
 
 
===[[Research (Long War)|Research Labs]]===
 
The research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen, can be found in this location. The laboratory allows players to research upgrades and can be improved to increase research speed. In this room players can also peruse the research archives, detailing previously completed projects.
 
 
 
===[[Barracks (Long War)|Barracks]]===
 
In the Barracks, players can manage their soldiers, including equipping and customizing the troops, managing their skills and hiring new soldiers. There is also a Memorial Wall dedicated to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Players can also access the Officer Training School and the Psionic Labs through the Barracks.
 
 
 
===[[Hangar (Long War)|Hangar]]===
 
The Hangar allows players to manage their aircraft, including purchasing new Interceptors, transferring craft between continents, and changing their weapon load-outs.
 
 
 
==Additional facilities==
 
Dozens of additional facilities can be purchased and built into player bases, bestowing certain benefits. These locations are housed in the base underneath the existing static locations. Most cave locations will require excavation before new facilities can be built in them.
 
 
 
Most of these facilities grant an adjacency bonus, giving nearby rooms of the same type particular benefits, such as rebates on building materials or increased power from power generators. Rooms in the same category give these bonuses, so placing a Satellite Nexus next to a Satellite Uplink will grant a bonus. It's also worth noting that these bonuses go both left and right and up and down, so the most efficient placement for four facilities that can grant bonuses with each other would be putting them into a square shape.
 
 
 
Each of these additional facilities require maintenance, which costs a fixed amount each month. The maintenance cost can be reduced by employing additional engineers. With limited resources, players will be unable to build all available facilities simultaneously.
 
 
 
===[[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]===
 
Access Lifts are required to reach the lower levels of your base.
 
 
 
The base cost and time to construct is §60 and 5 days. It requires 2 power and costs §10 to maintain each month.
 
 
 
===[[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]]===
 
Houses aliens for interrogation. Requires Xenobiology to construct. 
 
 
 
The base cost and time to construct is §120, 10x alloys, and 6 days. It costs 10 power and §30 to maintain each month.
 
 
 
===[[Cybernetics Lab (Long War)|Cybernetics Lab]]===
 
Allows the conversion of soldiers to [[MEC Trooper (Long War)|MEC Troopers]].
 
 
 
===[[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generator]]===
 
The Fission Generator provides +6 power to your facility. Fission Generators also provide an adjacency bonus of +3 power per adjacent Fission/Elerium/Thermo generator.
 
 
 
The base cost and time to construct is §72 and 6 days. It costs §25 to maintain each month.
 
 
 
===[[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generator]]===
 
 
 
===[[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generator]]===
 
The Thermo Generator provides +25 power to your base but must be built on a steam vent. Thermo Generators also provide an adjacency bonus of +3 power per adjacent Fission/Elerium/Thermo generator.
 
 
 
The base cost and time to construct is §350 and 21 days. It requires §35 to maintain each month.
 
 
 
===[[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]]===
 
Allows research of foundry projects.
 
 
 
===[[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]]===
 
Allows [[Gene Mods (Long War)|genetic modification]] of soldiers.
 
 
 
===[[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]]===
 
Allows detection of [[UFOs (Long War)#Overseer|special UFOs]], and shows extended information about UFOs when they are detected.
 
 
 
===[[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratory]]===
 
Speeds up research.  §200, 21 days build, §300 x10Meld 11 day fast build, §30/mo upkeep.
 
 
 
===[[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]]===
 
Allows you to upgrade different aspects of your squad. This building becomes available to build after a squad member reaches the rank of Corporal.
 
 
 
The base cost and time to construct is §120 and 5 days. It requires 1 power and §25 to maintain each month.
 
 
 
===[[Psionics Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]]===
 
Allow soldiers to train [[Psionic (Long War)|psionic]] abilities.
 
 
 
===[[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexus]]===
 
A Satellite Nexus is a direct upgrade to the Satellite Uplink, providing communication to 2 satellites with similar adjacency bonus of one additional satellite per adjacency. Sharing the engineers requirement of the Satellite Uplink, the base cost is §300, 8x Elerium, 25x Alien Alloys and 2 UFO Flight Computers. It requires 8 power.
 
 
 
===[[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]]===
 
A Satellite Uplink provides communication to 1 satellite. The Satellite Uplink also provides an adjacency bonus of one additional satellite per adjacency when connecting to another Satellite Uplink or Satellite Nexus.
 
 
 
To build a Satellite Uplink, one must have 5/10/20/30/40/?? engineers on staff. The base cost and time to construct is §120 and 13(21?) days. It requires 5 power and costs §20 to maintain each month.
 
 
 
===[[Workshop (Long War)|Workshop]]===
 
 
 
A Workshop gives the player a direct 10% cash discount on items from the Engineering department, as well as a 10% refund of materials used.
 
 
 
The Workshop costs §200 and 4 power, as well as requiring 10/? engineers.
