=Getting Started=

==Aim of the game==

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 ===

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 ===

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.

[[Buildings]] are where your colonists create and produce [[Resource|resources]]. Each building has at least one stackbot who drops offs and collects [[Resource|resources]] to and from [[road posts]].

= Placing Buildings =

== Hotkeys ==

Hit '''B''' to enter building mode.

Or use '''1''' through to '''=''' to jump between building categories and cycle between individual buildings.

Hit '''R''' when placing a building to rotate its orientation.

Hit '''F''' when placing a building to flip its orientation.

= Understanding Energy =

Energy is the most important resource in the game. Workerbots need it to chop trees, mine [[Resource|resources]] and carry out [[research]]. Energy is generated at [[Residence L1|residences]] by housebots.

There are three levels of Energy resource. When you upgrade a [[Lumberjack Hut L1|Lumberjack Hut]],
[[Surface Mine L1|Surface Mine]],
[[Shaft Mine L1|Shaft Mine]], or
[[Workshop L1|Workshop]], they will require a higher level of Energy. For example a [[Workshop L2|Level 2 Workshop]] will require [[Energy L2|Level 2 Energy]] which can only be made by a [[Residence L2|Level 2 Residence]].

Your [[Colony Ship]] provides a slow supply of [[Energy L1|Level 1 Energy]] to ensure you never run out.

Your territory is the area of land that you have control over and you can only construct buildings and mine resources or chop trees that are within your territory.

= Expanding Your Territory=

Your [[Colony Ship]] gives you a small area of territory to begin with. To expand your territory you need to construct [[Watchtower L1]]. Once a guardbot occupies a constructed watchtower you will gain new territory.

It's usually best to build watchtowers right on the border to gain the most territory. Also higher level watchtowers ([[Watchtower L2]], [[Watchtower L3]] have a larger radius and will grant you more territory.

== Map ==

The map can be accessed by the button in the top left of the screen or by the hotkey **[M]**.

It shows you a top-down view of the land that is visible to you along with the amounts of locations of natural resources available to you. You can zoom in and out using the mouse wheel or the slider on the left.

[[Resource Categories|Natural resources]] outside your fog of war are marked as unknown and may be any natural resource type, but their location can give you a hint about which direction to expand in.
