==Remote Storage: Charging Batteries==

Empty batteries can be charged directly via a harvester (one by one) or via the Remote storage menu (several at once), provided the RS contains enough TEUs harvested previously.

The screenshots below show the INV menu – Remote Storage (swipe left or right to see INV menu titles). First, the empty or partially discharged battery must be removed into the inventory (long tap the lower slot). Then tap any empty slot of the RS to open the battery window and tap the battery to place it into the chosen slot.

File:First Steps 16.jpg|The battery starts charging the moment it’s placed into the RS slot, provided the app is open.

</gallery>

The RS does not charge batteries if the app is closed or in the background mode.

==Crafting==

Components received from globulas are used in crafting the equipment.

File:First Steps 17.jpg|~~Тап по меню~~ INV — Blueprints ~~(чертежи) открывает список доступных чертежей~~.

File:First Steps 18.jpg|~~Тап по любому чертежу открывает экран CHRONOFUSER (производственный комплекс)~~.

~~File:First Steps 19.jpg|~~

File:First Steps 17.jpg|Tap the INV menu – Blueprints to see blueprints in stock.

File:First Steps 18.jpg|Tap any blueprint to open the CHRONUFUSER window.

</gallery>

At the top right corner of both the Chronofuser and any blueprint there’s Success rate index (shows the chance of successful crafting from 1 to 100%). The lower panel shows all available blueprints in stock.

File:First Steps 20.jpg|Тап по выбранному чертежу открывает окно с описанием предмета и списком необходимых для его изготовления компонентов.

File:First Steps 20.jpg|Tap any to open the pop-up window with its description and the list of the required components.

</gallery>

Red/green numbers on the left show the necessary items while the blue ones on right show the items in stock, including the TEUs.

The PRODUCE button becomes tappable when all the resource requirements are met (in green).

Crafting uses up the blueprint and the resources (those items are removed from the inventory). The log shows the result (either an item is successfully produced, or the process fails).

'''Warning!''' ''Blueprints are consumable items. Both the blueprint and the set of the required components together with TEUs are removed from the inventory whatever the result of the crafting. It is highly recommended to use only high success rate blueprints for crafting to avoid loss of components.''

==Scanning Globulas and Acquiring Blueprints==

Blueprints are obtained with the help of a special tool (requires crafting). At the start of the game a 100% success rate Basic [[Blueprint Basic SO-RI|SO-RI blueprint]] is already placed in your inventory.

Once it’s been crafted in the Chronofuser it becomes available as one of the [[Tools|tools]].

The SO-RI is placed into the [[Upper Slot|upper slot]], it also requires a charged battery in the [[Lower Slot|lower slot]].

The radius of the SO-RI is a lot shorter than that of any weapon. Tap the globula once it’s in the scanning light cone, then tap the SO-RI to perform the scanning.

There are three possible outcomes of the scanning:

– it may produce one blueprint layer (the sys log would give the name of the exact blueprint);

– it may fail and generate no layers of blueprints;

– it might become unavailable if the number of scanning attempts exceeds a certain number.

The Basic SO-RI has a very low scan success chance. Besides, each globula can be scanned no more than three times. After the third attempt, the tool would signal that scanning is not available any more for that globula, and another target should be chosen for scanning.

Each successful scanning produces just one layer of a blueprint. The number of layers already collected is shown at the top right corner of a blueprint and corresponds to the success rate for crafting. Each successful scan adds one layer to a blueprint up to 100. The 101st successful scan of a blueprint will add another copy to the inventory, thus creating a 100% blueprint and a 1% blueprint.

==Compass==

There is a compass scale at the top of the map.

File:First Steps 21.jpg|~~Шкала вверху показывает стороны света~~ E, N, W и S.

File:First Steps 21.jpg|It shows the four cardinal directions (E, N, W, S), and will always point north at the launch of the app.

</gallery>

You can change the view direction by sliding your finger over the map. To define your actual position use map objects such as buildings and roads to correlate with the real world objects around. The compass does not show your actual movement direction.

''The map does not autorotate on the move!'' It will only rotate around a targeted globula while it’s within a weapon/tool’s range to keep it visible if the hunter is moving.

==Chats and logs==

File:First Steps 22.jpg|

</gallery>

Tap or swipe up the ‘=’ element at the bottom of the screen to pull open the chats and logs window. Swipe the ‘=’ element up or down to change the window size. To close the chat, tap anywhere on the screen outside the window.

The chats and logs window has three tabs: ALL, SOC and SYS.

'''The SYS (system) tab''' contains game logs: TEUs used for weapon discharge, damage dealt and received, items dropped, and so on.

File:First Steps 23.jpg|~~Логи полученного и нанесенного урона можно отключить, нажав на иконку~~-~~квазар в правом углу окна чатов~~.

File:First Steps 23.jpg|All damage logs can be switched off by tapping the quasar-icon in the right corner of the chat window.

</gallery>

'''The SOC (social) tab''' is for in-game communication.

File:First Steps 24.jpg|~~В верхней части раздела находится шкала, которая позволяет настроить фильтр сообщений в радиусе~~ 5, 20, 100 и 1000 ~~км от вашего текущего местоположения~~.

File:First Steps 24.jpg|There is a chat distance filter in the upper part of the tab: 5, 20, 100 and 1000 km radius from your current position.

</gallery>

The chat shows the latest 25 messages. To load the previous messages, pull the chat down. Each swipe down will load another 25 messages. You can scroll the messages by swiping the chat up-down or with a slider on the right.

''All transmitted messages are available in the maximum 1000 km radius whatever the chosen distance of the message filter in the chat options!''

'''The ALL tab''' contains all messages, including system logs and social interaction.

==Minting and Transferring Items==

Almost any item in the game can be minted into an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token NFT] and put into your TON wallet to be sold or handed over. And any NFT from GLOBULA blockchain can be transferred back into the game.

Practically any component, resource, weapon, blueprint, tool or battery can be NFT'd or turned back into playable objects, apart from the first items given at the registration as a basic starter kit.

In order to be able to create and transfer NFTs you must have a [[Registration in the Globula app#How to create a TON wallet?|TON wallet]] bound and connected to your account.

Open the required inventory tab and long tap an object you want to NFT.

File:First Steps 25.jpg|~~Откроется информационное окно~~.

File:First Steps 25.jpg|You will see the following pop-up.

</gallery>

Tap [[Mint]] to open your TON wallet and confirm the minting (costs 0.02 TON).

If you are using the login-password method for the app, you would also need to connect a TON wallet to perform any of the minting operations. Make sure you connect the same TON wallet that has been bound to your account.

The transaction may take up to 5 minutes. Once it's finished, you will see your NFT'd item back in its designated inventory tab but with a special chain icon on the right. The NFT itself will be placed into your TON wallet collection.

File:First Steps 26.jpg|~~Изображение вашего~~ NFT ~~с иконкой цепочки справа снизу~~

File:First Steps 26.jpg|the blueprints inventory tab, some items are playable (the number index on the right), some are marked as NFT'd items (the chain icon) in a TON wallet.

</gallery>

''You can create a unified (bulk) NFT containing several identical items at once! For example, you own 1000 components or blueprints of the same item. You can choose any quality of identical items when creating an NFT. Thus, a single NFT can be turned back into multiple playable items.''

NFTs can't be used directly in the game. These objects are for trading and handing over only, but can be turned back into playable items if required.

File:First Steps 27.jpg|~~Если вы хотите вернуть предмет в игру, то нужно сделать длинный тап по иконке предмета с цепочкой~~.

File:First Steps 27.jpg|To transfer an NFT back into the game as a playable item long tap its icon (with a chain symbol on the right). You will see the following pop up.

</gallery>

Tap Transfer to open your TON wallet and confirm the operation (costs 0.02 TON).

Please wait for the transaction to be fully finished in the blockchain.

The NFT will be removed from your TON wallet and placed into your game inventory as a regular playable item (no chain symbol on the right) for further use.

==User Settings==

Tap the Gear icon in the top right corner to open the user settings pop-up menu.
