Welcome to Astrogators . This guide is intended to introduce you to some key game concepts as well as some essential navigation techniques for leading your new colony.

A few tips before you get started :
Build food and water early. Algae farms may not provide delicious food, but they will keep your people alive.
You will need Fullerene and Titanium early in the game. You generally need more fullerene than titanium. Building a few fullerene processing plants can get you a great start, but don't neglect the titanium either.

Commerce drives the wheels of life.

There is much more that you can do within Astrogators which is not covered here. For instance, you can build fleets of spacecraft fill those spacecraft with state of the art armies and attack other planets for fun or profit.

Notably, you can band together with other players to form alliances . Alliances form a special function in Astrogators.

More importantly, at the end of each month the alliance with the highest aggregate score will win the honor of gifting their benefactor organization with a percentage of Astrogators' monthly revenue.
