Unlike the tool store, the teleport pad will allow you to teleport small vehicles to the planet. Explosives experts may also be trained here.Īlthough it isn't functional when you first build it, the building itself is a requirement in order to build a power station. The tool store also acts as a teleport pad until you construct a working one later on. Should you order a Rock Raider to obtain items, they will retrieve them here as well. Typically, all extraneous supplies you collect will be stored here, meaning that ore and unused energy crystals will be stored here. Not only is this the only structure that does not require power to operate, it also acts essentially as the foothold of the entire base until a power station is built. The tool store is the default structure that every base starts with. The buildings can be upgraded so that their features are improved or added. StructuresĪlthough the main goal is to collect energy crystals, some structures are needed in order to make said goal either faster or possible. If they are teleported back to the ship, you lose that Rock Raider forever, meaning that all past accomplishments and training are gone. When they get damaged enough, they are teleported back to the ship. They do not technically since the game provides each rock raider with an energy shield which depletes as they take damage. When Rock Raiders "die" they are teleported to safety.
Explosives allow rock raiders without mining vehicles to destroy hard rock seams. Driving, piloting, and sailing allow rock raiders to operate respective vehicles that require those skills.
Geology will allow the radar to pick up seams of energy crystals and ores much easier. Rock Raiders can be trained in many different areas such as geology, driving, piloting, sailing, and explosives. To operate vehicles, however rock raiders must be trained to use them. They can aid in extraction, to clear debris, or quickly scout the area. In addition to Rock Raiders, mining vehicles may also be teleported down provided that you have enough energy crystals. The ore may also be found which are generally used to build structures for your base. From there, they may drill walls extract energy crystals which can add to your mission objective completion, or to power your base. Typically, the player starts by teleporting rock raiders to the planet to start the mining process. Each of them has a weakness and it's up to the player to exploit them. One special monster involves the Slimy Slug in which it saps your base of energy should it manage to sneak into your base. Other enemies often involve Rock Monsters, Ice Monsters, and Lava Monsters which attempt to destroy your base. For example, some missions involve acquiring a set number of energy crystals before lava engulfs your entire base. The enemies of the game are not opposing factions, but rather the environment. Most of these objectives normally involve finding lost rock raiders or collecting a set number of energy crystals. Like most RTS games, you are given a set of objectives to complete.
Their only chance to make it home is to collect enough energy crystals to power the ship so they are able to fly back home. With the ship running on emergency power, they find a nearby planet that is rich in energy crystals. When they come to, they realize that the ship is in an alternate galaxy far away from their own. The ship becomes badly damaged and to make matters worse, they are sucked into a wormhole, taking the crew off course. The rock raiders crew are about to embark on a journey home to earth when their ship, the LMS Explorer, flies into an asteroid field.
