Until now I’ve avoided almost everything to do with combat so I guess this is my introduction.

    I’ve definitely been watching a few of those playalongs just to get ideas. And, you know, because hyperfocus.

      Another thing to help you out is to learn to use macros.

      Escape

      Settings

      Game

      Keyboard cursor enabled Yes

      Now you can select mining (be mindful of your priority and warm/wet stone settings) and you will see a box that is your keyboard cursor.

      Press ctrl + r and design a room using the arrow keys and enter. Try to start the room at the door so you can better know where to place the cursor to print.

      When you are done press ctrl + r again.

      Now you can press ctrl + p to print that same room multiple times

      Ctrl + s saves the blueprint currently active, ctrl + L brings up a list of your blueprints.

      Using macros will help you build from scratch faster. The game is about losing, and macros let you get back up and running way faster after your inevitable downfall. and they are a big help keeping my base looking good to!

      I personally have a “grand hall” blueprint i use for temples and bars, housing blueprints, and commerce blueprints.

      Then you just connect the blueprints with hallways and BAM insta fortress! Again be mindful of your priorities when setting up blueprints.
