HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Shipyard by 3:13

  1. Open 3 mex and wind into Bot Lab.
  2. Put up Shipyard with naval turret and BP for defense.
  3. Send out "submarine" then "destroyer" to contest the sea.
  4. Bring geothermal online to fund the fleet.
  5. Add Advanced Metal Extractor as the economy transitions.
