Offshore oil rigs
Rigs sit in the sea beside your island, one slot each at HQ 2, 4, 6, 8, and upgrade in place. They don't count toward the 60-building limit.

About buildings
HQ level N unlocks the tier N buildings. A new or rebuilt building fills up over its fill time before it earns its full rate, and missiles knock it down until it rebuilds. Work out your own total with multipliers in the income calculator.
Questions
What is the best building in World of Nukes?
It depends on whether your 60 slots are full. Every building costs 2 times the one before it but takes longer to pay back (1.3 times a step, 1.12 from the Casino Tower on), so while you have free slots the cheap ones return your cash fastest. Once the slots are full, income per slot is all that counts: sell the lowest earner and put the newest building you can afford in its place.
How many buildings can I place?
60 income buildings per island, on top of your HQ, defenses, oil rigs and military.
How long does a destroyed building take to rebuild?
40s for tier 1 up to 4m 34s for tier 10. The Quick Rebuild pass (R$200) cuts every rebuild to 60 seconds or less.
How much do oil rigs make?
A level 1 rig costs $5,000 and makes $900/min; level 10 makes $179K/min. Rig slots open at HQ 2, 4, 6, 8, and taking one rig to level 10 costs $11.1M in total.
How fast does a building pay for itself?
The Shack in 30s, the Galactic Exchange in 3h 15m, the Orbital Cannon in 4h 34m, before cash multipliers. Rebirths, VIP and the cash boosts all shorten that.
