1. Your goal is to establish a forward base with your fellow infiltrators, and to build a portal generator to start the invasion.
2. By speaking normally your thoughts will carry to all other martians through the collective psionic link you all share. Humans will not understand you, and you cannot understand them.
3. All of your structures will at some point require biomatter to function.
This is obtained via the biomass pool. Compatible objects must be dipped into it to be converted into biomatter.
The list of compatible objects includes human bodies (alive or dead), monkeys (which are not as good as humans), and other things. If it's meat, it's a meal.
4. Use the seed grower to grow more seeds after you have sufficient biomass.
It will describe what is available, what function it performs, and how much it costs to produce. Produced seeds must be used in-hand (or in-tentacle) to be activated, and then placed on an empty floor tile to begin growing.
5. This is all heavily a work in progress, so no other documentation exists while things are in rapid fluctation.
Good luck, and remember that mentorhelp and adminhelp still exist!
