# Structures

In OxySpace we can find many types of structures. They help us to grow the colony, obtain more resources and conquer new planets.&#x20;

There are 2 types of structures:

* **Urban Structure:** These structures are located inside the colony. They help us to grow and prosper in the colony.&#x20;
* **Conquest and Gathering Structures:** You build these structures in the training camps. You can also investigate them to upgrade them in the Laboratory. These structures are designed to be used outside the colony. Depending on the type of expedition you will use one or the other. The purpose of these is to help us overcome the expeditions outside the colony successfully.&#x20;
