How to create / what counts as a building?

[Ember]

I'm currently on one of the assimilation quests which requires me to create buildings within a fixed number of terms. After checking the unoffical wiki, and google I still can't figure out what is actually classified as a 'building'. Is it System Upgrades or something entirely different?

Any help on this would be great! Thanks!

System improvements are probably what that quest is referring to. Probably.

Can you share the exact wording?

"Build 15 or more buildings in your empire" - what is a building?

Basically almost everything that has a completion state in the main list of stuff you can use Industry/production for in your systems.

Not ships
Not unlimited build things like options to turn production into gold/research, for example
Not limited build conversions, like Chain Gang converting population into manpower
Not explorations of curiosities

Probably not colonizations of other planets in the system
Probably not planetary upgrades that you have to select from the icon under the planet itself

It's pretty straightforward. Just build stuff, and if you're wondering if something counted, then check your quest status at the end of the turn, then check it when the new turn starts.
