Missions
The main Protagonist of the story is interested in preserving the ecology of the planet while Mr. Riggs repetitively emphasizes your primary objective which is to build the rift platform and establish a two way portal back to earth so that humanity can come and colonize Galatea 37. Every step you take in the campaign pushes you further down this path, whether its learning where to find rare resources or mining them and establishing outposts. The player controls Mr. Riggs, presumably with Ashlea Novak inside and builds various buildings that contribute to your safety and objective.
- XYZ
How do attacks work against remote areas/bases in Campaign?
- attacks can happen in your current area/base, or other areas/bases you are not present in
- if the attack happens in your current area, you cannot rift travel to another area while the attack is ongoing
- if the attack happens in another area, it won't actually 'trigger' until you rift travel there but as soon as you do the event/attack will happen
This means we won't be forced to rift travel around all over the place to deal with random events/attacks if we want to continue building in our current area. But as soon as we travel back, we have events/waves to deal with.
