# First Steps in the Game
## Establishing Basic Operations
Your [Mothership ](/assets/structures/mothership.md)allows you to build [Structures](/assets/structures.md). Some good first steps are:
1- Land your Mothership in an area close to some Resource Deposits.
*Select your Mothership and click “Lift Up”.*
*Click “Deploy” and choose suitable location near a resource deposit to land.*
2- Build a Units Factory.
*Navigate to Buildings → Construct tab in Command Center, click “Build” button.*
3- Use it to construct Miners.
*Navigate to Units → Construct tab in Command Center and click “Build” button*
4- Send your Miners to extract resources from these deposits. They will extract resources and take them to your Mothership's storage.
*Hold Left Click and drag to select multiple Resource Miners and Right Click on a resource node.*
5- Build Refineries of the appropriate type (i.e. if you are extracting Minerals, build a Minerals Refinery). Your refineries will start automatically refining the resources in your Mothership's storage.
*Navigate to Buildings → Construct tab in Command Center, click “Build” button.*
6- Collect refined resources.
*Navigate to Resources tab and click “Collect”.*
7- Build more Units and Buildings, and upgrade them.
*You can click the "Upgrade" button after your unit reaches a certain amount of experience (XP).*
8- Go conquer the world!

## Establishing Advanced Operations
Some of the resource deposits may be far away from your base. In this case, a [Mobile Depot](/assets/units/mobile-depot.md) can be used to deliver the resources, so the Miners can concentrate on mining.
Once you establish a production line, you will need an army to protect it from the Aliens. With you Units Factory you could produce [Spiders](/assets/units/spider-gatling.md), a universal fighting unit.
To reinforce your defenses, you can construct stationary defense structures, like [Turrets](/assets/structures/bolter-turret.md).
Here's a short overview of the things you can produce:
* **Units Factory:** Built by the Mothership.
* **Miners**: Built by the Units Factory.
* **Refineries**: Built by the Mothership.
* **Mobile Depots**: Built by the Units Factory.
* **Spiders**: Built by the Units Factory.
* **Turrets:** Built by the Mothership.
## [FAQ](/help-and-support.md#faq)
**How can I acquire NFTs?**
Easy Peasy! In [the Shop](https://pulsar.game/shop/packs).
**What if my unit or building is destroyed?**
You'll never lose your NFTs. Even if they are completely destroyed you always will be able to rebuild your unit or structure, which will keep all their progress.
