I started this game recently and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. Like...I can't tell if being overwhelmed is the point but Jesus it's a fucking lot right out the gate. I feel like they did a great job introducing the systems but then they just drop you on your ass? Like I have a robot limit. Okay, how do I increase that limit? 'You can play the game how you want! You don't have to be combat centric' Game then proceeds to IMMEDIATELY attack one of my buildings. 'Objective: capture a cargo drone' doesn't tell you what the fuck you can do with it. I'm venting for the most part and fully intend to keep at it but God damn I'm floundering.
This is unfortunately a common issue with relatively complex strategy games.
Most of the time you have to learn by doing either some bigger easier being addressed via web search.
