1. Find a mineral deposit
Look for a small cluster of coloured crystals on the ground, inside your unlocked building area. That is a mineral-deposit tile.
Iron, Copper, and Lithium Mines all use this terrain. You do not need three different kinds of deposit. Use a separate, unoccupied deposit for each mine; plain rock will not work.
2. Place your first three mines
- Open Blueprints and select Iron Mine.
- Move the placement preview onto a free mineral deposit inside the building boundary. The entire mine must fit on valid, unoccupied tiles.
- Confirm placement when the preview allows it. Wait for the mine to appear.
- Repeat for Copper Mine, then Lithium Mine, using two other free deposits. If a mine is locked, check its displayed Main Base requirement.
On mobile: drag to pan and pinch to zoom while placing. Keep the mineral deposit in view; use Cancel to leave placement mode.
Open Objectives after each build. Claim any completed reward before moving to the next mine.
3. Claim your objective rewards
Objectives → completed objective → Claim. Finishing a task does not collect its reward automatically.
Start with the mine-building objectives, then follow the mine-upgrade objectives. If a reward will not fit, add resource storage or unit housing as required.
4. Upgrade your mines and Main Base
- Mines: select a mine, check its next-level cost, and choose Upgrade. Follow the objectives for your Iron, Copper, and Lithium Mine upgrades.
- Main Base: select it and choose Upgrade when its level blocks the next building or mine upgrade. Claim the corresponding objective reward afterward.
An upgrade changes a building's level. It does not expand the buildable area.
5. Expand your building area
Select the Main Base and use Expand. Check its resource cost and requirements, then confirm. After it completes, the building boundary grows and you can use newly unlocked space and deposits.
Claim any completed expansion objective. If Expand is disabled, meet the requirement shown in the panel first.
6. Keep the colony growing
| If you need… | Build or upgrade… |
|---|---|
| More resource storage | Storage Unit |
| More electricity | Solar Panel |
| Housing for units or rewards | Garage, then Hangar when available |
| Construction materials | Iron Plate Factory, Alloy Factory, and PV Cell Factory |
| An army | Workshop or Drone Factory, then collect completed units |
Keep cycling through build → claim rewards → upgrade → expand. Follow the requirements shown in your current game.
Next: economy and buildings, or load your first fleet.
