Beginner questions

[Garfield]

Hi :)

1. Is it possible to turn around a building? I can place the tower gate in only one direction?

2. I see a lot of "can't place here because access to another building would be blocked". But sometimes I have no clue which one and why. Does it matter in which direction for example a tent is faced?

3. If an army unit dies, do I get back the worker?

4. How can I select all army units on the map? Double click only select the one that are in view.

5. Is there a way to sell resources quicker than clicking like a maniac?

6. Do I lose income of an infected building?

1. tab turns gates

2. at least one tile needs to stay free between buildings, just experiment during pause
(edit: just imagine a "road" in your head that leads to the building)

3. yes, you can also retire troops near the soldier center and get some costs back

1 - push tab to rotate gates. Other buildings can't rotate

2 - hard to explain but you need open path for troops. Check some guides to see some house building set ups.

3 - yes I believe you do.

Make a wild guess.

1. Tab rotates buildings that can be rotated (most can't).

2. Rules for access:

-All resource buildings need to have at least 1 tile between it and another building
(For example; Market and Bank buildings take 3 square tiles each, but you need to keep 5 square tiles empty in order to place them in the middle of a district)

-Houses are best placed in rows of 2 with 1 tile clear on both sides. (mountains, forests or lakes don't count as clear, but walls do). You can't place 3 rows of houses.

-You can place a tesla towers and walls anywhere, they wont block access to anything.
(Towers can't be placed next to eachother)

3. Yes, you get back the worker.

4. Double clicking something selects ALL of its kind all around the map. It doesn't only select those in view. (If you double click on a sniper, you'll select all snipers in the map).

5. Not that I know. It's still very early access though, they might add something like ctrl+click or shift+click later on.

press tab

2. I see a lot of "can't place here because access to another building would be blocked". But sometimes I have no clue which one and why. Does it matter in which direction for example a tent is faced?

It seems like 1 villager house can only have 3 neighbouring houses, before you get this message.

3. If an army unit dies, do I get back the worker?

I asked myself that too.

4. How can I select all army units on the map? Double click only select the one that are in view.

Holding shift + click = selecting all of that unit type in range
Holding ctrl + click = selecting all of that unit type on the map

5. Is there a way to sell resources quicker than clicking like a maniac?

Let it go full and selling itself automatically

6. It seems like infected buildings don't lose their production...

Completely false. Do you realise how big of a migrane you'd get if double clicking a ranger would select and cancel all your patrol routes at the same time? lol

Double clicking only select the units you see on screen.

It can't be "completely false" since it's not an opinion. I'm telling you what happens when I do it.

Every single time I double clicked on something, I'd select all of its kind on the whole map. Always assumed it was a bug or a design issue.

It never happened to me even once.

Are you sure something simple, like your CTRL key being stuck, is not happening instead?

Every single time in all my playthroughs? :P

Well don't get me wrong but something's fishy somewhere if we are both experiencing completely contradicting contols in the game...

I use "laptop" controls in the settings. But I haven't touched the game since the new update, maybe they fixed it.
