Getting started
Your first hours of play, step by step: economy, first engineers, first ship and first colony.
Your first hours, step by step
Start your four mines
Upgrade your four mines at the same time: Titanium, Graphene, Silicon, Hydrogen. They produce continuously, even while you are away. You can queue several upgrades. Learn more →
Build the Barracks and train engineers
The Barracks trains your populations. Aim for engineers first: they speed up all your constructions. It is the most profitable investment in the long run. Learn more →
Start your first research
Technologies are researched in the Laboratory. Start with the ones that improve your mines' yield: the gain is immediate and permanent. Learn more →
Design your first ship
Pick a size, then install at least a generator (energy), an engine and a weapon. The space left over becomes a cargo hold for transporting resources. Learn more →
Explore the map
Spot free planets, AI planets and asteroids. AI planets are a good target to progress early on. Learn more →
Colonize a second planet
Send a fleet on a Colonization mission to a free planet, with the required resources and populations. Each planet has its own production bonuses: owning several multiplies your economy. Learn more →
Follow your objectives
In-game objectives tell you what to do next and reward every milestone you reach.
Three habits to pick up from the start
🛡️ Docked ships are safe ships
By default, a ship parked on a planet does not defend it: it is therefore safe from attacks. Learn more →
🕵️ Spy before you attack
Knowing your target's defenses and protections lets you pick the right weapons. Learn more →
🌴 Away for several days?
Vacation mode pauses your account: nobody can attack you. Learn more →
