Command RTS

There is only one unit, a bot. It can harvest, attack, build or upgrade. There are two resources ore and fuel.

Bots can go down different upgrade paths.

• Shop: Better at building and upgrading and building, but can no longer harvest. Substantial increase in weight.
  • Factory: Best at building
  • Lab: Best at upgrading
    • Military Lab: improvements for upgrading weapons and defense
    • Industrial Lab: improvements for speed and harvesting
• Motors: 4 stages (2-4 require factory, lab, industrial lab respectively) increases max speed and improves fuel efficiency (but new max speed is less distance efficient). Movement speed is based on weight.
• Weapons: various strategic improvements
• Shielding: increases armor
  • Plating: further increases armor
  • Deflector: reduces damage at the cost of fuel. Also consumes fuel when running. 1 second boot time
• Sensors
  • Upgrade camera: can see further directly in front of bot
  • Panoramic camera: can see a little ways all around bot
  • Radar: can find ore and enemies at a long distance
• Mining: improves mining speed
  • Drill: improves ore mining
  • Pump: increases fuel mining
  • Trunk: increases carrying capacity

Bots can be controlled directly. They can also be assigned scripts to follow. Scripts also allow bots to issue orders to each other. Orders come with a priority, so if one bot issue a command to another bot, the command will only be followed if it has a higher priority.
