Domes and Workers v0.0.9

Game manual

HOW TO WIN

• To win this scenario, you have to get to 20 human population, and keep them happy with a 80%+ happiness level.

BASICS

• Build Bot Domes near the resources so your Bots can gather them
• With the proper technology, you can also build Human Domes. HUMANS DONT WORK, but they bring Money.
• Move around with WASD, or the middle wheel mouse. Zoom with mouse scroll.
• You can Accelerate, Deaccelerate and Stop time from the menu on top.
• Click on a placed dome so you can move the bots around!
  • You can also build buildings inside the dome. Choose carefully, you have only a few slots on each!

BOT WORKERS

• Workers consume 1 ENERGY each. If you have extra energy you will eventually build new bots!
• Each ENERGY produce needs 1 PLASTIC  and money.
  • You can get PLASTICS from the PLASTICS FACTORY(Building inside the dome. Costs 10 MINERAL)
  • It also costs money. See HUMANS on how to get money.
• Don’t worry if you can produce everything you need from the get go! The resources will be bought from the market automatically.

BUILDINGS

• Each independent dome comes with a BOT NEXUS preinstalled, and will have a resource mine on top of each resource vein that was in its range.
• Mines don’t take space, but internal buildings do. These also costs resources to be built.
  • Each dome has 5 spaces!
  • Don’t forget that Dome connections also take 1 space!
• You can build new buildings from the Dome menu - keep in mind some buildings are behind new techs.
• You can upgrade buildings once you have discovered its corresponding technology.

RESEARCH

• Research is like another resource. You need the LAB internal building to be able to generate Science (each science consumes metal!)
• You can unlock new technologies from the tech tree paying its corresponding cost.

HUMANS

Human are millonaries that are coming to your planet to retire. They bring good money to sustain the colony.

To bring humans, you first need to research the HUMAN COMFORT tech, and then build a Human Dome (Only 1 dome per territory).

• Humans will come periodically to the dome only if you cover the COMFORT REQUIRMENTS (1 FOOD and WATER per Dome level).
• You can also level up (upgrade) human domes so they can house more humans, but for doing that you need to make them happy.
• Happiness is affected by the comfort resources (or lack thereof), but also from they individual NEEDS. 
• If you can provide those resoruces, they'll get happier.

EXPANSION

• You probably wont have all the natural resources nor the living space to be efficient with a single dome, so you need to expand.
• Its cheaper at first to build CONNECTED DOMES. These cost just 20 MATERIAL, but they are dependent on the first dome. They also take 1 building slot (on both new and main dome).
  • You also need 2 free workers to move to the new Dome. Don’t worry! New workers will take their place after some time.
  • These new domes don’t produce energy by default! But the workers there can consume energy from the main dome.
  • The longer the connections are, the less energy they get.
• Once you have several domes and a more consistent workforce, you can just create a new Independent dome. These costs 100 MATERIAL, 100 METAL, and need 5 Free workers among your whole colony. These domes do produce energy!

EXPLORATION

• There are more resources on the unexplored areas!
• To explored them, you need to build the EXPLORATION CAMP internal building.
• Then, gather a group of workers and send them in an explore expedition to explore the nearest territory.
• Until they come back, you cant remove them! The more you send, the least time they will be exploring.
