Here it is!\r\n\r\nIt takes place in space and you, the player, have to gather\r\nressources off the asteroids\r\n\r\n=============\r\nHow to play!\r\n=============\r\n\r\nAll buildings need energy to function, and all buildings need\r\nressources to be build.\r\n\r\nThe coloured polygons are ressource fields.\r\n\r\nYou can hover over almost anything and get some information there.\r\n\r\nThe GUI on the top:\r\nThere are 7 Icons:\r\n\r\nMouse: Normal selection mode, used for selectin Units and the Factory\r\nBlue line: is a transport line, which transports ressources between mines, the HQ\r\n           and the Factory\r\nRed line: is a powerline, it connects the energy collector with all the other buildings\r\n          (select the energy collecgtor first)\r\n\r\nthe 4 buildings:\r\nEnergy collector: collects 20 energy units per tick\r\nMine: Build in a ressource polygon, extracts ressources\r\nFactory: Click on it to build a spaceship! (There is some kind of GUI for that)\r\nspaceport: Ships can unload to a HQ, but can only load from a spaceport.\r\n           Build one to trade ressources from\/to your ship\r\n\r\n\r\nSHIPS!\r\n\r\nYou can select multiple ships at once, however, only if you click on one ship you can trade and \r\ndo special actions\r\n\r\nThere are three kind of ships:\r\n\r\nScout: Can scout a planet for its ressource areas\r\nColonization ship: Can colonize a scouted ship (ship gets los in the process)\r\n\t\t   (Tip: load some ressources on the ship to kickstart a colonys economy)\r\nCargo: No special action, slow, transports a LOT of cargo.\r\n\r\nThe red mouse is the button for the special action (scout, colonize)<\/p>","title":"Space Island"}
