Introduction

Seedling of Kambr

During the last aeon on Kambr, our home planet, the resources of the essential five crystals for our civilization has begun to vanish. During our search through the universe for more we sent and planted seeds of us in the other civilizations we found.

On one of them, the one you call Earth, has since then started to produce crystals and now, finally, the humans have developed good enough technology so we may contact you. You are an ancestor of the once planted seed among the humans.

The limited human body don't recognize the crystal sources, fountains, so we have provided this piece of software, in your device, for you to find them. They are displayed on the map.

[Description]

A true Kambrian is attuned to one crystal type at birth but you have gained a special ability. You may choose type.

You may even change this selection later, but then you will loose what you done so far

Missions

We have prepared some missions for you to get you started. The first ones will be displayed automatically to you once but if you are unsure what to do, you can alway press the question mark button:

and click to expand mission groups and missions.

Collect

Spawn workers

A true Kambrian have the ability to split the body into several parts and do work at multiple locations at once. Some of this ability has been inherited to you: You may spawn workers.

You will need workers to collect crystal.

You spawn workers by pressing the

[ICON-Worker menu button]

and then press the "Spawn Worker"-button once or several times.

The first worker is free but the next ones cost crystals, until the spawner has recharged, and the first one is free again. You should spawn more workers whenever you can. The recharge time of the spawner will increase with the number of worker you have.

Keep up producing more workers.

Bonus for spawning first worker: 4 crystals

Place workers

You will use your workers to harvest crystals from fountains.

Show the map in order to see the fountains:

(Map tab image)

and click on a fountain near you of the same color. In the dialog select a worker to place it.

(Fountain image)

The worker will automatically come back to you with it's crystal harvest when it is full or when the fountain run out. (Fountains are continuously refilled but will run out of crystal for some time when drained.)

Keep up placing your workers whenever possible. They will give you your main income.

If you place a worker within your action range it is free. If you want to place it outside it costs crystals. Beware that you may loose crystals if you place it to far from you.

(Action range image)

If you are not pleased with the color of your choice you may change it, but you will loose everything you have, i.e. don\'t wait too long if you want to do it. It may be done under Menu and User Settings

Upgrade worker spawner

To get better workers you can upgrade your worker spawner.

--- TODO keep working here ---

Go to the facilities tab and upgrade the spawner by clicking and selecting Upgrade Select an upgrade of your choice. The upgrade cost so you might have to wait for workers to come home, or even place them several times. When you spawn workers with an upgraded worker spawner there is a chance they get a higher level immediately, up to the level of the spawner. You may also merge two workers at the same level to a higher level (The level of the worker spawner sets the highest possible worker level) When you spawn or upgrade workers they will get the property you selected. You may later reorder the properties if you want another one to be the first upgrade. Bonus: A level 2 worker You should also have a look at the other facilities and too find out what you may build

Build portal

In order to make it easier for you to place workers we have provided you with a portal. You may build it somewhere near suitable fountains. Later when you are somewhere else you may still place workers for free within the range of the portal or near at a cost. Build a portal by going to the map tab and press the portal icon (lower right corner on your device) scroll to the suitable location, near fountains, and place it.

The rest...

For now, keep the same.

About treasures

Those are things you bring up from the root of the fountains using your "treasure finder", that maybe should be called something else. Facility: "Extractor"?

---

---

TODO Some loose texts...

You have to spawn your workers and travel to different places to make them harvest the crystals. Using your resources you may extend your workers capabilities and also extend your own capability to place the workers.

The resources appear in fountains on the earth surface.

In order to be sent home they need to be packaged

TODO EXPLAIN worker to transmitter part transformer (some kind of black hole... thing)

Transmit the gather crystals back to your home planet to help saving it. All transmitted crystals gives you influence and makes you famous (score) but fame does not last forever, more precisely, 30 days on you home planet.

Extra

Treasures

You may also go treasure hunting, when you have built a treasure finder. Using NN(treasure finder) you may make extract NN (treasures) from earth that may contain useful parts.

Team

Join a team or start your own (when you may) and gather friends to get advantages and be the best team with most influense on your home planet.
