[. . . ] Arrow Keys I've seen plenty of action in my time. I've led troops into countless skirmishes, situations where we knew we'd either make it back to fight another day or be reduced to puddles of plastic on the battlefield. But we've never had to deal with anything like this before. Not long ago, we had this region secure under the supervision of one of our own, Colonel Blintz. That changed when Blintz was injured in the line of duty. Medics did what they could, but he sustained a "massive, disfiguring head wound". Long story short, there's a chunk of plastic missing from the top of his head. That's when our reconnaissance got on the case and found. . . well, it ain't pretty. With the help of a bucket of paint, Blintz has gone Tan. Our mission is to find Blintz and. . . terminate him. This will be the toughest mission I've ever had to lead. Your trucks will collect resources faster if they only have to move a few feet to deliver the goods. Be sure to check your resources from time to time to see if they're being depleted. The amount of collected Plastic and Electricity appears in the upper-right of the game screen. If a resource runs dry, move the Dump Trucks to the next available resource and continue the hunt. It is also helpful while one Dump Truck works on collecting resources, to have another one looking to collect melted plastic Soldiers, vehicles, etc. Dump Trucks collect resources automatically, and do not need to be directed. However, you can override the automatic function by manually assigning them to a resource: · To manually send a Dump Truck to mine a resource, left-click the Dump Truck to select it and left-click the resource you want it to collect. MELTING STUFF If a structure becomes unnecessary, melt it down and you'll get half of your resources back. · To melt a structure down, simply left-click it to select it. · The "Melt" button will appear in the upper-right corner of the screen. Select it to melt the structure. Resources Resources are the vital components that allow you to create items and build up your army. In order to survive, you need to keep building, and in order to keep building, you need to keep collecting resources: Plastic and Electricity. While you may not have an immediate need for resources, it's always a good idea to keep collecting and storing so you have them when you need them.
