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)
New Game
- Before deploying your base, check the immediate area for bumps by almost building Storage (8)'s everywhere. 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.
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.
- Fix your storage slots before adding a 'Shared Storage' component.
Exploration
- "Exploration is king!" - beatwho the developer. 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.
