Learn how to build your first structures in The Universim. This guide covers placing the Epicenter, constructing Wells, Water Pumps, Farms, and essential maintenance buildings like the Engineer's Hut.
Walkthrough
- 1Place the Epicenter: Choose a location near water, forests, and loose rocks. This building creates your first four Nuggets and is the center of your civilization.
- 2Build a Well: Immediately construct a Well to secure a source of fresh drinking water.
- 3Construct a Water Pump: Once the Well is complete, build a Water Pump, as most buildings require it to function.
- 4Secure Food: Decide between building Fisher Piers to gather fish or constructing Farms for crops. If using Farms, you may need an additional Water Pump. Choose crops wisely based on water needs and yield.
- 5Establish Maintenance: Build an Engineer's Hut to allow for repairs, preventing buildings from collapsing and saving resources.
- 6Address Health: Construct a Hospital to heal injured Nuggets and a Cemetery to bury the dead, preventing illness and rapid population decline.
- 7Add Amenities: Consider building an Eatery to process raw food into meals and a Forecast Tower for weather predictions.
- 8Expand and Repeat: As your population grows, build more of essential structures like Water Pumps, Farms, and Hospitals to meet increasing demands.
Tips
- Place the Epicenter strategically near water, forests, and rocks to minimize Nugget travel time.
- When placing a Well or Water Pump, aim for areas with high water source numbers for maximum efficiency.
- Consider crop types carefully, prioritizing those that require less water if water is scarce.
- Don't neglect maintenance and health buildings; a collapsing structure or an epidemic can cripple your civilization.
- The game's Nugget population cap will be removed as development progresses.
