Ape Apps

I just got the game, and stupidly paid for the full experience before even trying it out on the strength of a friend’s recommendation.

It loads, I start a city, I tell a servant to start building the first storage facility (which is recommended in the ONLY in-game guidance that has popped up). And then ... nothing. Literally nothing happens when I try to build or do anything. The only thing I’ve gotten any servant to do is to move from one space to a new chosen location.

The forum doesn’t appear to be searchable, and the help guide doesn’t seem to offer any guidance on the basics of gameplay.

Anyone have a recommendation for guidance on gameplay, or should I just delete the thing and save my already-considerable frustration?

Thanks!

So I’ve gotten them to harvest, but that doesn’t seem to be doing anything. When it comes to building... nada. Zilch. Zero action when told to build.

Give it more time, once you figured out certain things it is really enjoyable! For guidance I'd recommend searching on YT there is a small Guide, I think. If that is not helping you, I think you should consider asking here, or join either the Discord of the FFF or the NOZ, both Servers have People who are able to help you and explain you everything!

This game's mechanics appear to be very VERY similar to My Colony. The details differ, but stuff like getting units to act is the same in both games, in general. This can be helpful for newbies to one who've played the other.
