Mission walkthrough

Your duties during the course of the mission:

You will have to ensure that your base has expanded and that new buildings were built. After that, you will have to deal with three groups of enemy units. The final part of the mission will require you to take out two enemy Walkers before they'll get close enough to your base of operations.

Detailed mission walkthrough:

First objective: Build a Flow Conduit in the highlighted area

The first part of this mission is going to be EXTREMELY simple. You won't have to worry about being attacked by Hierarchy units. Enemy troops won't appear on the map unless you've done everything you've been asked for. Don't forget to read additional hints by clicking on ? icons. You should also listen to Mirabel, because she'll tell you what to do next. Your first assignment will be to construct a flow conduit tower. This will allow for the main section of your base to receive much needed power. Select your Constructor units by clicking on them. Try selecting all of them in order to speed up the building process. Choose a Flow Conduit tower from the lower menu and place it under the yellow arrow (screen). You should also take your time to familiarize yourself with other important features of the game. You may choose one of the available patches from the lower menu. You may only have one active patch at a time. The second slot is going to be unlocked once you've placed more advanced buildings. You will be allowed to choose between Radiation Shielding (better protection against radiation) and Coolant Boost (better protection against fire).

Second objective: Build Recycling Centers in the highlighted areas

This is going to be a similar challenge to the previous one, mostly because you will have to construct a specified building. Start off by selecting your Constructor units. As you've probably noticed, a new icon has appeared on your task bar - Recycling Center. You will have to place two of these objects in marked locations, inside the white circle. As you've probably noticed, allied drones have left the centers. They will automatically begin collecting resources. Wait for the game to display a new mission objective.

Third objective: Build Robotic Assemblies within the power radius

This time you will finally be given a freedom of choice, because you'll be allowed to place the Robotic Assembly buildings anywhere you want. The only thing you have to make sure of is that they will be connected to the main power grid. As a result, you will have to place them somewhere close to the Flow Conduit towers. Thankfully, you'll know whether you can attach them or not before buying them. Be on a look out for green areas. I would recommend placing the factories somewhere in the central area of your base. They should automatically begin manufacturing robots. You can build only the weakest units at the moment - Ohm Robots. Make sure both factories are manufacturing them. Order your robots to wait for your orders somewhere inside the base. Position them close to each other, so it'll be easier to select them later on during the course of this mission.
