Strategies

To start out, you will want a good strategy. There are many strategies to choose from. These may be circumstantial, though.

1) Rocket Start) For this strategy, you will want to make a few wells right off the bat near trees or bushes. Don't place the wells near the sea, because then you may get water instead of oil. There is one exception, however, if you need a few more oil, then just put a well in, and then you need to go into the rocket, choose a planet, and blast off! You will want to find a planet that is livable, because you won't want a planet where you have to put colony pods on. Unless it is your only choice. Explore and exploit the planet, and get going!

2) Feed Us) This strategy is very simple. just start out, and either find some bushes, or make a few plantations. Using this strategy will make it much less likely that your animals will die from running out of redballs. Upgrade your plantations to farms ASAP. You should NEVER Upgrade your farms to vertical farms, because it is a big waste of resources. Disagree if you like, but this is a good way to start off. Please note that this strategy is only really good for surviving for long periods of time, and won't help you expand to other planets. More soon! ;)

3) Warmonger) For this strategy, it is recommended that you choose Rhinos, Tedibears, Stellions, or Pachydus. First, claim as many planets as possible and rush on wells and coal. Make sure you have lots of explosives being manufactured or already available. Divert all attention to your warfare structures and make sure you get ahead in the military race. Then, blow up anyone in your path. This plan is not recommended for players with little military expierance in game.
