COMMANDER FIELD GUIDE
BUILD THE BASE.
OWN THE SECTOR.
Crypto Colony is a browser strategy game: develop an orbital base, research permanent upgrades, command fleets, and earn Quantum Credits through successful combat.
HOW YOU EARN CRYPTOFaucet, PTC, Shortlinks, Offerwalls, and daily activities award Ore to build your colony. Successful raids award Quantum Credits, which automatically enter the daily pool and settle to your Wallet for withdrawal.
01
YOUR FIRST 15 MINUTES
Follow one clear path from Ore to your first raid.
Start at the Command Nexus. The Starter Path in your command panel always shows the one objective to complete next, including its Ore reward. Your Nexus level controls construction permits and later unlocks, but you do not need to understand every building before starting.
ONE RULE TO REMEMBEROre builds your colony. Successful raids award Quantum Credits, which are converted through the daily crypto rewards pool and settle in your Wallet for withdrawal.
BASE ECONOMY
Build on pads. Upgrade with purpose.
Select a structure in the construction catalog, then choose an open pad. Fabrication and upgrades continue while you are away. Use Edit Base to move completed structures; swapping two occupied pads exchanges their positions. Damaged producers operate at reduced efficiency until repaired.
Ore Extractor
Produces Ore over time. Production pauses when storage is full, but earned Ore can exceed your capacity.
Ore Storage
Raises capacity so passive Ore production can continue for longer.
Solar Reactor
Recharges Hyperspace Charges. Upgrading it shortens recharge time.
Quantum Lab
Produces Research and unlocks permanent technology branches.
Reward Uplink Array
Boosts Faucet, PTC, Shortlink, Offerwall, and daily Ore rewards after verification.
Quantum Credit Array
Late-game infrastructure that generates Quantum Credits for the daily pool.
QUANTUM LAB
Research gives focused, permanent bonuses.
Research refines a strong colony rather than replacing good base design. Projects improve Ore output, storage, Reactor recharge speed, ship logistics, defensive targeting, Quantum Credit output, hull integrity, and AI salvage. Each rank is deliberately modest, so steady choices matter.
03
FLEET & DEFENSE
Construct ships, then decide where they serve.
The Shipyard queues hulls, including repeated orders of the same type. The Hangar caps your attacking fleet. Use the Aegis Grid—not the Hangar—to garrison ships as defenders. Ship level upgrades permanently improve every current and future ship of that type; ships lost in battle are destroyed permanently.
INTERCEPTORFast general-purpose hull.
AEGIS FRIGATEDurable frontline fleet hull.
NOVA BOMBERHeavy offensive specialist.
AEGIS GRIDDeploys garrisoned defenders.
DEFENSE PLATFORMSLasers, missiles, railguns, point defense, and shields are independent buildings.
PERIMETER SYSTEMSMinefields punish approach lanes; Repair Docks speed post-raid recovery.WORLD MAP & COMBAT
Inspect first. Launch only when ready.
The World Map shows AI sectors and comparable player colonies, with their listed Ore, Research/QC, and PvP VP rewards. Inspection costs nothing. Launching consumes one Hyperspace Charge and opens the target’s actual saved layout.
- DEPLOYSelect a ship type, then place ships only in safe approach space outside the defender’s outer pad ring.
- ENGAGEShips move into range, prioritize nearby hostile threats, and defensive platforms plus garrisoned ships respond.
- RESOLVEDestroy every enemy building for victory. Player-base damage persists and repairs automatically over time or instantly for Ore.
BATTLE RESULTS
Stars measure raid quality.
A victory means every enemy structure was destroyed. AI victories award resources and QC, but do not affect seasonal VP. PvP victories and defeats affect VP, rank, and alliance standing.
FROM PLAY TO PAYOUT
Ore develops the colony. Combat earns QC.
Faucet, PTC, Shortlinks, Offerwalls, and daily activities give you Ore for your base. Successful combat awards Quantum Credits, which enter the daily Quantum Pool automatically. Every 1,000 base Ore earned through earning activities also unlocks a claimable Hyperspace Charge—Reward Uplink and Premium bonuses do not count toward that track.
EARN ORE
Complete earning activities and collect verified Ore.
BUILD SMART
Choose between upgrades, ships, repairs, and storage.
WIN COMBAT
Earn QC from successful AI and PvP raids.
SETTLE
Daily pool rewards move into your Wallet for withdrawal.
SEASONS, EXPEDITIONS & ALLIANCES
Long-term progress has several paths.
Complete daily and weekly Expedition directives to earn XP through a horizontal Free and Premium reward track. Weekly directives are substantial goals; daily directives keep momentum moving. PvP success earns seasonal VP and higher ranks increase your Quantum Credit bonus from raids. Alliances coordinate shared missions, build Alliance XP, and invest Alliance Bank Credits in group-wide utility upgrades.
