Green traits are generally good, red traits are generally bad. Hovering over a trait will tell you about it, they should be pretty straightforward. LetвЂ™s take a closer look at a colonist and talk about what this information means, and what we should look for.ДЇirst, we have traits, the colored words with icons. Generally speaking, the fewer drawbacks and more positive traits a colonist has, the higher their DNA cost will be. You pay this when you first buy the colonist, and it doesnвЂ™t cost anything to grow them after that вЂ“ so if someone dies, you can get them back without spending DNA again. You can refresh as much as you want for your first 3 colonists, so donвЂ™t be afraid to refresh a LOT in search of units you really like.Д«ear in mind that every colonist has a DNA cost. HereвЂ™s a quick overview of the UI itself:

Now you should see a menu that looks like this (your colonists will be different):Д«efore you choose a colonist to start out with, there are a few things we should go over. Left click on it, and then in the info panel, youвЂ™ll see a button to вЂњUnlock More Colonists.вЂќ Click that too. This is where you can generate new colonists. There should be a green arrow pointing to the incubation pod. Our goal is to get a sustainable base running with food production and a water purifier before we run out of this starting supply.

Remember to check this storage occasionally and unlock new boxes as you use up your initial supplies. You should leave a couple of them unlocked so that colonists can open them and get the supplies inside. Go ahead and lock most of your boxes now. Just left click on one of the storage crates, and youвЂ™ll see a button near the bottom to lock/unlock access:ДЄ locked box will have a grey lock icon overhead and also show the вЂњUnlockвЂќ button instead of the вЂњLockвЂќ button: If we open all the boxes at once it will be a mess, so we should first mark some of them as not being touched. Once a box is opened it will disappear, and the items contained within will take up a lot more storage space than the box itself. These will be opened by colonists automatically and contain much-needed supplies like clean water and food rations. You might have noticed the boxes sitting in the storage zone. As your base gets bigger, youвЂ™ll need to make new storage zones to keep things organized and running smoothly. If you have a long walk to the main storage area, it will take colonists that much longer to walk there and then back to work. Managing colonist movement paths is one of the most important parts of this game. (In other words вЂ“ thereвЂ™s no ore or metal available in the list of items, because we havenвЂ™t done any mining yet.) Just keep in mind for the future, you will be able to create zones and add any combination of items to them as long as you have discovered the item. That means that if an item doesnвЂ™t have a better place, colonists will drop it here.ДЇor now, this is what we want, so you can leave this menu un-touched. The empty boxes near the top represent any items stored on the tile you clicked on (currently, we have no stuff, so the boxes are probably empty):Д«elow the tile inventory is the Storage Zone information (Items Allowed, Items Not Allowed, and Is Fallback Zone all have to do with the storage zone).ДЄs long as NO items are allowed, вЂњIs Fallback ZoneвЂќ will be set to YES. This is what the tileвЂ™s inventory tab looks like. To know about the storage zone, we want to go to the вЂњInventoryвЂќ tab, which is the 2nd one: YouвЂ™ll see a box on the left side of the screen pop up with information about the room. Left click on a tile in the storage zone.

First, letвЂ™s go over how to get information about this zone.
