Metallurgist Starting Guide

Establish iron mining operations and smelting facilities to produce metal ingots crucial for manufacturing and construction.

If you picked the metallurgist package, you're probably on a planet with Iron ore and Oxygen. You can check what resources your planet has in the 'Base' view, in the 'Base' tab.

It is highly recommended that you finish your tutorial first.

In case you skipped the tutorial, the first thing you should do is set up your buildings and production.

Recommended Buildings

• 2x Colony Barracks
• 1x Smelter
• 1x Mine
• 1x Gas Collector

You should have all the materials needed for construction in your base warehouse already as you've received them with your starting package.

Constructing Buildings

In the 'Base' tab, go to the 'Buildings' tab and click any empty building plot. This will show the 'New Building' window. Here, click the 'Build' button next to the building you wish to construct. Repeat this until you have all recommended buildings constructed.

Once you have your buildings constructed, your next step is to set up production.

Setting Up Production

Go to the 'Production' tab in your base. Here you can see all building types that you own. Click on one with a yellow warning (means that it's not producing), and click the button 'Add Order'. Here you can choose what production order to start.

We recommend setting it up like this:

• Gas Collector - Oxygen order with 1000+ amount (high order amount will ensure that your building will be working for a long time)
• Mine - Iron Ore
• Smelter - Iron

Once all your buildings are producing, you might want to check if you have any missions available.

Missions and Achievements

In the 'Missions' tab, claim any achievements and missions rewards that are available. If you have a new mission available, click on it and choose one of the choices. We recommend choosing those that give good Cash rewards. All of these are quite straightforward to complete. For additional info and how to complete each mission type, check Missions.

Purchasing on the Exchange

Your starting cash should be enough to buy materials for construction of an additional building. You can check your Base 'Buildings' and click on how much each building costs, and also decide what you want to build. We recommend building an additional Smelter, but you can build anything you want. Just make sure to check the building encyclopedia for what each building produces and if it's a good fit for you.

One Smelter costs:

• 2x Amenities
• 3x Construction Kit
• 6x Prefab Kit

See Exchange guide for information on how to purchase materials.
