This is a really random idea that came out of nowhere (seriously~) but still, it might be interesting.
Compound structure can only be created via blue prints, blue prints are unlocked via mission, NPC, badges, achievement and whatever other method aviliable.
Compound structure is created from existing planet structures on a planet, instead of artifact/CR/mineral. One a blue print is unlocked, you can use this similiar to an ability onto any planet that have the listed structures, and those structure will disappear yielding to a compound structure. In many ways, you can consider this as a structure upgrade like hypergates etc, but instead of upgrading one structure to one better structure, it upgrades multiple structures into one.
Compound structure cannot be extracted, but may be broken up. When broken up, it will turn back to some of its orginal components, thou some components will be lost forever.
Most compound structures, unlike regular structure, will have a durability count. And each sab/CCM/event will only reduce the durability by 1 if the dice rolls on it. It will be destroyed if durability reaches 0. They can be repaired at any time, usually with CR, thou some might require specific mineral or artifact to repair.
Optional: efficency might reduce when damaged.
The components of coupound structure are always unlimited structures, but they can be anything ranging from NPC drops to reserached/blue print structures to badge structures etc.
A few examples:
Topopolis Rings*2+space elevator*2+Astrobiology Ward=Astroring Habitat (size 13 Population +3000 +50% +3 artifact durability 3)
OB*8+Prejoran Slave Barrier+Nexus Barrier*2=Entity Shield(size 30 defense+20k, defense +50% No production, durability 10)
Spy uplink*2+Shadin Hypergrid Network+Hypersensor Satellite+Resonance Inhibitor+Counter-Intelligence Nexus+Inverse-Flux Satellites*2=Shadow grid spy network(size 20 +10 research +3 artifact +1000 Defense +2500 cloak durabiliy 2, not targettable by sab/CCM)
Isolation Bureau+Galactic Concord Station+Adumbrate Station+Interrogation Stronghold+Hypergate+Heist Dispatch Center=Central Command(size 6 All resource +7, Defense, attack, cloak +10% +1000 atk, +1000 def, +1000 cloak, durability 2, not targettable by sab/CCM)
Hypernode Brain+Star Lifter+Hyperforge Fabricator+Quasi-Chaos Minefield*2+Obviation Barrier*2+Inverse-Flux Satellites+Topopolis Ring=Prismatic Base (size 55 All production +14 +3000 Atk +3000 Def +1200 population +1000 cloak durability 7)
