Planet X2

Planet X2 gives you control of up to 10 driveable units and 54 structures. You search for resources, operate your units and buildings, and process minerals at a factory.

Control your units

A display at the bottom of the screen shows which driveable units exist; existing units are highlighted in white, and a blue pointer marks the one you control. You can select a visible unit or building by pressing Return and browsing to it, then pressing Return again. Number keys 0 through 9 select driveable units, while Plus and Minus cycle through your buildings.

You move units with the cursor keys or WASD. Function keys are generally used to operate them, while Space fires the tank.

Gather resources

You need Minerals, Gas and Energy. Minerals form in large outcroppings and come in different forms. Use a builder to pick them up, moving or destroying anything in the way if necessary, then drop them at the X spot beside your factory. Select the factory and use F5 to process the minerals. Building another factory near a mineral supply can speed up processing.

You begin with an initial supply of resources, and the amount depends on the difficulty level.
