# Mechanics
There are many different types of structures and buildings that can be built in Cosmic Universe. The more a player advances in the game by harvesting, mining, gathering, and leveling-up, the more options they have when it comes to what structures they can built on their land plots.
Every structure will have a base set of requirements that need to be fulfilled for it to be functional. The bigger and more advanced a structure is, the more resources and time it will require to build.
To build any kind of structure, a certain amount of resources will be necessary. For example, to build a simple shelter, 100 Wood will be necessary.
Depending on how large a structure is, it will take up anywhere from 1 block to over 100 blocks (the size of one plot), and all the way up to up to 1,000 blocks (10 plots), for a single structure.
Players can speed up build times by either using a Time Crystal Badge, using MAGICK to receive time crystals, or earning time crystals in-game

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://info.cosmicuniverse.io/game-assets-nfts/structures/mechanics.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
