Overview
Game play in BoundlessPlanet revolves around natural resources. The size of your army, the redundancy of your defence, and the technological advancement of your empire is entirely dependent on how much Iron and Oil you are able to mine, store, and distribute.
In order to ease local use and distribution of these resources, any activity within a certain distance of a Command centre can automatically access the Command centre's ample storage of 10,000 units of Iron and/or Fuel (once Oil is mined using an Oil Refinery, the resulting liquid is Fuel).
This wide area of control is called the Command centre Control Area, and is represented by a wide green circle only visible when the Command centre is selected.
Within this area, the myriad necessary transfers of resources to and from Iron Mines, Oil Refineries, vehicles, resource storage, Power Plants, construction projects, etc., are all handled automatically. This functionality makes Command centres critical to a functioning, independent base. The majority of the information on this page revolves around this simple concept, so we encourage you to start playing, and refer back to the following details if necessary.
You will start with two Builders, two Scouts, and a Command centre storing a limited amount of Iron and Fuel.
Builders, Command centres, and Power Plants are the vertebrae of any base on BoundlessPlanet, so we will address them here and in the 'Vehicles' and 'Buildings and Structures' sections of the Help text.
