Primodium Game Guide

The game's victory conditions and colony ships are overhauled in v0.11. We also added to our contract plugin system guide for players to build different coordination mechanisms.

Accounts

Connecting an external wallet

In v0.11, you can link your wallet with a saved session. Connecting to your wallet lets you play across devices by saving progress to your wallet. We currently support all of the wallets in the screenshot below.

Intro screen for Primodium v0.11

When connected to a wallet, you'll be able to delegate actions to an in-browser wallet, allowing you to play the game without signing repeatedly to confirm every new action. This option should be automatically applied when you're connected to your external wallet. If it isn't, you can reconnect it in the Settings widget within the Account section:

Playing without an external wallet

Alternatively, you can play as a guest if you don't want to use an external wallet. We don't recommend doing this because you might lose your game progress if your session is accidentally cleared.

Command Center

In v0.11, you will be commanding fleets of units. A fleet is a collection of units and can also carry cargo. With fleets, you can directly command a preset group of units to attack other fleets in orbit, attack ground-based asteroids, and ship resources to other asteroids.

To access your fleets on an asteroid, go to the Command Center (located on the top of your screen).

Creating and configuring your fleet

Before sending units out, you must create a fleet. As soon as you do, your units in your fleet will start orbiting your asteroid. To create a fleet:

1. Click on your asteroid (the space rock with the home icon on it)

1. Left click on a unit from the asteroid side and place it in the fleet side by left clicking.

💡 Left clicking selects all units/resources. Right clicking selects just one unit/resource. While your mouse is holding a unit/resource, you can increase/decrease it by +/- 100 by typing W/A. To increase/decrease it by +/- 10, type D/A.

Resources held by your fleet cannot exceed the cargo stat shown. To increase cargo limit, add more units.

The maximum number of fleets that you can have per asteroid is based on the number of moves it has available. This is increased by building a starmapper station and upgrading it.

When you're ready, click on Create, and your fleet will be created! After that, you will see that your fleet will immediately be orbiting around your asteroid. You can now send them out on missions.

Commanding fleets

With fleets, you can:

• Move them to other asteroids
• Attack other fleets in orbit
• Attack other asteroids
• Transfer resources
• Defend or blockade an asteroid

Moving your fleet

In order to move your fleet, first go to the Starbelt and identify the location of an asteroid that you would like to travel to.

For this example, we will travel to a common asteroid shown at the top of the following image.

Click on the asteroid.

Click Travel.

Identify the fleet that you want to move to this asteroid and click Travel. Your fleet is now en route and will take some time to arrive.

Attack asteroid

Select the asteroid that you want to interact with, and select command.

Select the asteroid or fleet that you would like to attack, and click "Attack".

Other fleet options

For more options of how fleets can interact with other entities, you can select your own fleet and choose any of the listed options.

Colonizing another asteroid

After your home asteroid has expanded significantly, you may want to conquer and colonize to another asteroid to establish another base. Colonizing another asteroid requires a significant amount of resources, so you should prepare early.

Once you've colonized an asteroid, you can start building on it in a similar way to how you've been developing your original base.

Encryption

Every asteroid has an encryption statistic. The encryption level of an asteroid represents how secure it is from being conquered. Encryption is lowered by a player successfully attacking an asteroid with a fleet that contains a colony ship. Be aware that encryption is regenerated over time.

Shipyard

The Shipyard is a building where you can increase colony slots and train colony ships. You cannot train a colony ship without a free colony slot. Colony slots are occupied by an asteroid or by a colony ship. Once you pay for a colony slot, it will persist regardless of whether it is occupied.

Lowering opponents' encryption

To lower your target's encryption, you need to attack your opponent with a colony ship in your fleet. Each successful attack will lower your opponent's encryption amount by 300. Once their encryption drops below 0, you will take over the asteroid.

💡 While you are attacking an asteroid to lower their encryption, other players are also able to snipe asteroids with low encryption levels, so you should pay attention to the asteroids you're attacking.

Once you've successfully taken over an asteroid, your colony ship will be destroyed. You will have to build another colony ship to colonize another asteroid.

Getting rare resources

Raiding

Raiding player asteroids. Player asteroids often have stashed resources that are slowly being replenished. Beware, as there may be units and fleets guarding these treasures. They may also have some unraidable resources in a Vault.

Mining

To get a permanent supply of rare resources, you can colonize one. This would take significantly more effort, but will secure your supply.

Trading

You can also build a Market and trade for rare resources. However, the market has some built-in fees and may fluctuate in price.

Manage Widgets

You can manage widgets by clicking and dragging the top bar. Are the widgets too big or covering too much of your screen? Don't worry we got you covered with the UI scale option in the settings. Want to reset the widget? Just double-click the widget's top bar.
