How to play

Guide

Nine things to know. Two minutes, tops.

01

Start

Sign in with Apple. You get a rig and your first bot.

Tap Assign, pick work, and the bot gets to it. Bots keep working while the app is closed.

02

Bots

Every bot can do every job. One job at a time, until it finishes or you cancel.

Ready

Free for work.

Working

On a job. Tap it for the task log.

  • Swipe a working bot to cancel. Progress and unearned rewards are lost.
  • Name your bots, or keep the names they come with.
  • Buy more from the Bots tab when your rig can run them.
03

Work

Rewards land automatically when work finishes. Tap Run again to repeat a job.

  • Contracts

    Jobs from the five factions. Some stop at a checkpoint: finish now, or dig deeper for more.

  • Defend

    Guards your rig for as long as it runs.

  • Scan

    Looks for intel. Findings can lead to follow-up jobs.

  • Attack

    Raids another operator. Only inside the siege.

04

Compute and Power

Every running bot uses Compute. Power caps how much Compute your rig can hold.

05

Rig

Upgrade Compute and Power in turn, up to level 10 each.

Compute goes first, then Power catches up. Upgrades take time and use a bot while they install.

06

Training

Bots get better at the work they do.

  • A trained bot finishes that kind of work faster.
  • Or hits harder in a siege.
  • Training stays with the bot, even if you rename it.
07

While away

Bots work while you're gone, up to a limit.

When you're back, While away shows what finished, what you earned and anything that hit your rig.

08

Sieges

Optional. Enter when you're ready; until then nobody can raid you.

  • Inside the siege, operators near your size can raid you, and you can raid them.
  • A raid costs a fee up front. Win and you take some exposed credits and knock out part of their rig.
  • Your vault keeps most of your credits safe. Shields and daily limits stop pile-ons.
  • Knocked-out Compute or Power can be repaired with a bot.
09
