Bot Overview

By clicking on any specific Bot you can learn their name and when they were printed.

You are able to change your Bot names.

For a little interaction, click on the eye-icon in the upper-right corner. If a Road Carrybot is not busy, they will give you a little wave!

Clicking on the eye-icon enables the "follow-me" mode for that Bot. A Carrybot might not be very interesting as it travels back and forth between road post, however, try the "follow-me" on a Lumberbot or Axebot.

Resource Overview

Resource Object Panel

Clicking on a resource will provide you with its Journey and display route on the map.

On the Info tab you have overview information about that resource and you can delete it if you desire.

See Managing Your Colony to learn how you can have a positive impact on the resource's journey.

Clicking on the eye-icon in the upper-right corner will snap the game view to that resource, however, it does not enable "follow-me" for resources.

Resources En Route, Stored, and Queued
Transport Rules Set Rules for each Road Post

Road Posts are the connection points for buildings and the primary means of moving resources throughout your Colony.

Be sure to understand how to use Rules.

The Resource tab on the a Road Post lets you know what is there. If there are 4 resources then no additional resources can be assigned and that road is considered blocked.

For example, the pictured Road Post overview panel shows that there are some resources that are Blacklisted. This means they can not pass through this Road Post. However, there are some resources that can pass through if they are going to storage.
