Tips and Tricks

Keyboard Shortcuts Use CTRL + numbers to group units or buildings. 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 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 Metal Bars than Metal Plates) 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 before adding a Shared Storage component. Exploration "Exploration is king!" - (beatwho @ 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 Power Cell for exploration after you have built some dedicated power.
