Press the number to highlight, press again to jump to that group. CTRL + Home to change your home location. * Look at the minimap to see useful overlays (G - show a small grid around the mouse / P - to show the power grid / N - to follow a unit / M - see selected unit paths) * Holding CTRL, SHIFT, or ALT can reveal extended tool tips while hovering the mouse over an item or component. This information can make it easier to plan production chains as it shows production ratios. ===== New Game ===== * Before deploying your base, check the immediate area for bumps with the grid overlay underneath the cursor (see above). Orange and Red squares means buildings cannot be placed there. ===== Building and Planning ===== * You can easily remove buildings or bots with the {{IL|Deconstructor}}. * Make sure you space your buildings so your bots have enough room to carry out orders. At least 2-3 squares between different production buildings. * Try not to block your buildings on all sides. Your bots won't be able to reach them. ===== Production ===== * Keep an eye on the top bar to see resource and material flow. (e.g. You need more {{IL|Metal Bar}}s than {{IL|Metal Plate}}s) * Double click an item to quickly select it for production. * To quickly select an infinite number for production, mouse wheel down when hovering over the number slider. ===== Storage ===== * Right click the building icon to fix all storage slots to an item, or none. * Lock your storage slots in order to utilize a {{IL|Shared Storage}} component. ===== Exploration ===== * "Exploration is king!" - (beatwho @ [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1894210922?t=01h10m53s Dev Stream #12]). Make sure you explore! *While exploring, solving the 'lights out' style puzzle requires you to think and click symmetrically. *To make the pipes puzzle easier, work from the outside, in. *Don't forget to make use of your {{IL|Power Cell}} for exploration after you have built some dedicated power. ===== What to Watch ===== * Your Faction (`F`) panel won't be up all that often but that's because you'll be keeping its general import in your head. It shows power budgets, clickable inventory and most importantly the order queue; there's buttons across the bottom, for either the whole faction or for the selected unit's logistics net, everything covered by the power mesh it's drawing from. * The logistics order queue is targeted at the small stuff, one order is for at most one stack and unless you've set the device up for it usually just topping up, a production cycle or two. Larger transfers get done by toggling "store" or by management with the behavior chips you can't build right away, but pretty early. You don't want to clog the queue: the smaller the delivery the shorter the trip needs to be. |} If you have a guide or tutorial, please add it to the list, or find us on {{Discord}} [[Category:Guides]]
