Part1. First Steps
Welcome to R-Planet closed alpha. If you are reading this, you probably bought at least one lottery ticket to participate in the passcode drawing. Every ticket increases your chance. As you remember, only 1000 players can enter the closed server and fight for one of 100 Hero NFTs. So today, we are going to discuss the gameplay and what might be your first steps in the game.
The closed alpha is a full-fledged R-Planet MMORTS game with all the key features implemented and functional. It is a server-type game. Each server has a start date and the end when the winners will be chosen. The first type of server is a battle arena. The goal is to survive. It will last until 100 survivors are left.
Function of alliances, heroes, artifacts, Аhnangs, and Masics are yet to be implemented and will be added in the future.
Your goal is simple, SURVIVE. Stay among 100 players who will manage to keep their base in their hands. To do it, you should develop your base and army, defend your base, and capture and destroy your enemies’ bases.
Today we will talk about the first few things you have to do at the start and about minerals/resources which allow you to build and sustain everything on your base.
Let’s start!
There are three things you should do at the very start:
- Use the secret passcode you win as a result of the lottery to enter the game;
- Choose the faction (they differ by characteristics of units);
- Choose the region (the map is divided into four areas. If you are playing with friends, choosing the same region at the start is a good idea.
Base
You’ll find yourself at your base; the only construction there will be Nexus, the building which allows you to build and upgrade other facilities.
Each base has 18 foundations where you can construct buildings. Also, there are nine foundations for mines located around the base. Choose a foundation and then the building you would like to make. Not all the facilities will be available from the start. Most of them depend on the existence and upgrades of other ones. We will talk more about the buildings, discover industries, and where they are involved.
All buildings are divided into three groups, namely:
- resources — everything that helps to extract resources;
- infrastructure — facilities that are necessary for development in the game and interaction with other players;
- military industry — everything related to the creation of the army and its improvement.
