This page lists all buildings that can be constructed in Dune II.

Construction Yard

This building is built by deploying a Mobile Construction Vehicle.

• Building size: 2x2 tiles
• First available: Mission 1
• Upgrades:
  1. Large Concrete Slab
  2. Rocket Turret: 200 credits

The Construction Yard is the only building which is present to the player at the start of a new mission. The Construction Yard allows the player to construct new buildings. This building can be built by deploying an MCV to a clear spot, and does not have to be placed on pavement to avoid damage. The Construction Yard the player starts with is the only building that doesn't take damage over time.

Small Concrete Slab

This building serves as pavement for other buildings and can't be selected or repaired.

• Required building: Construction Yard
• Building size: 1 tile
• Cost: 5 credits
• First available: Mission 1

The Small Concrete Slab is not really a building but serves as pavement for other buildings. New buildings that are only partially placed, or not at all, on pavement start damaged.

Large Concrete Slab

This building serves as pavement for other buildings and can't be selected or repaired.

• Required building: Construction Yard (must be upgraded once)
• Building size: 2x2 tiles
