Aim of the game[edit]
Whilst each mission will have different objectives, the general goal of the game is to guide your team of robots from a simple stone age settlement through to a bustling industrial colony.
👉 New Players[edit]
The first mission of the campaign will guide you through all the basics of how to set up a colony. It will show you how to place Roads and Paths, construct buildings and expand your Territory & Map. It is highly recommended for new players and takes around 15 minutes.
🆘 Advisor[edit]
From the start of the second mission you have access to the Advisor panel in the top left of the screen. Here you can find any important problems you currently have with your colony or suggestions for tasks to accomplish next.
TOP TIP: You are always able to build Level 1 versions of buildings even after you unlock Level 2. So even if you run out of access to stone you are always able to expand using a Level 1 Watchtower and mine using a Level 1 Surface Mine to continue your colony.
