Lets Play Ogame (New universe Jupiter) - Page 4

Showing off the useful of scripts.

Change messages to 50 immediately or you'll hate this game soon enough. This is under the options found at the top of the screen.

Under the alliance tab, click communication to send circulars, or messages to the whole alliance.

The resources tab is where you build mines and energy production. At first you want to start off building mines, and you want to keep metal ahead of crystal ahead of solar plants, then maybe 2 levels of deuterium right away and save up to research. I say to focus on mines first because you'll eventually be crashed most likely, so having mines means you can rebuild afterwards. Storages allow you to continue to produce resources after a certain limit, and you start off with 10k max capacity. Just upgrade these as needed.

The resource settings (which i highlighted in the previous picture) is extremely important early on. It shows how much energy you have and how much you need. If you are at negative energy, you'll produce only a percentage of what you would otherwise. If you need a specific resource, you want to low the percent of the other resources to continue at 100 percent production of your primary resource.

Facilities are where you upgrade the infrastructure of your planet to allow you build things faster, and to build more things. Robotics speed up construction of all buildings, shipyards allow you to build ships, research labs allow you to research. For now, don't touch missile silo or alliance depot. No picture here, self-explanatory.

The shipyard tab allows to build ships, but more importantly early on, it'll tell you how to build ships. Click on a ship then tech tree to see what you need. The first ship you want to build is small cargo, as it'll allow you to raid. I'll cover that a bit in the future. Defences work almost exactly the same way. Don't worry about the techinfo, its actually completely unimportant to calculate the results of combat yourself.

This is the galaxy tab, shows you a lot of things. However, viewing galaxies beyond your own costs 10 deuterium per, so don't do this yet, its too expensive. The green * or numbers next to a persons name shows how long since they have had activity. The * shows within the last 15 minutes, and the numbers show how long from 16-60 minutes. After that it disappears and the person hasn't checked the planet within the last hour. Also by this picture you can see I'm starting to get off-topic.

And now I'm completely off topic, so I'll stop here. (My fornax account a few months ago).
