# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://wiki.pulsar.game/getting-started/first-steps-in-the-game.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
