First steps in Globula

ℹ️ While writing...

The basic task is to explore the universe of Globula with the help of different tools: harvest TEUs, acquire components and blueprints to craft all the necessary equipment.

Temporal Energy Harvesting

At the start there are some TEUs (temporal energy units) already available for use, including several full batteries for basic weapons.

TEUs are required for all tools in Globula.

To get more TEUs you need to use the Harvester tool.

• 
  Basic SO-RI & Upper Slot

Tap the empty upper slot to open the Tools/Weapons pop-up tab. Tap the desired tool to place it into the upper slot.

Basic TEU Harvester is already available at the start of the game. Harvesting TEUs is only possible when you move with the device at the speed up to 9 km/h.

TEUs first fill the EXISTENSOR (the active bar on the left), and once it reaches its capacity, TEUs are transferred into the REMOTE STORAGE (in the top right corner). The arrows on the screenshot below show the existensor bar and the remote storage volume.

  Existensor & Remote Storage

The active bar on the right (OPTIMAL SPEED) shows your current speed in the real world.

Tap the lower empty slop to open the pop-up battery tab. There are several full batteries already available at the start. Tap any to place it into the lower slot.

• 
  Batteries & Lower Slot

If there is a harvester and an empty battery equipped, TEUs first charge up the battery up to its full capacity, then fill up the existensor, and then pass on into the remote storage. TEU harvesting can be performed with or without a battery equipped.

Long tap the upper or lower slot to remove the tool equipped and empty the slot.

‘Pocket’ TEU harvesting

There is a sliding switch between the upper and the lower tool slot. Swipe right to activate the screen block. This would allow you to keep harvesting TEUs while the device is in your bag or pocket. The screen would dim and ignore any accidental taps. To deactivate the screen block, swipe the switch left.

Hunting Globulas and Acquiring Components

TEUs are required to charge weapons for hunting globulas (cryptic inhabitants of Globula). There are several weapons already available at the start.

• 
  Tap the empty upper slot to open the pop-up tab Tools/Weapons.
• 
  Long tap any tool or weapon in the menu to get additional information in a pop-up window.
• 
  Weapons and tools can also be selected from the general inventory menu at the top of the map (tap the INV icon).

Any weapon requires a battery equipped in the lower slot (either tap the slot if it's empty or use the INV menu – Batteries). With both items equipped the CAPACITOR bar will appear on the right. The battery gradually charges the weapon as shown by the progress bar of the capacitor. Once it reaches 100% the weapon can be discharged at a targeted globula.

Globulas are different light objects on the map. They must be within the currently equipped weapon range (shown by the radar lines) to be hunted. Move the weapon’s light cone by swiping left or right and tap the globula within it. Tap the weapon to discharge it at the globula. The globula will stay targeted unless you move completely out of range or choose another object by tapping.

  Globula in the Crosshairs

The capacitor refills automatically while the battery holds enough TEUs. Next weapon discharge is possible only at 100% capacitor charge. It might require equipping another charged battery if the previous one runs out of TEUs before the capacitor reaches its full charge.

The capacitor is a part of a weapon and holds the unused charge if removed into the inventory for later use.

Damage and hitpoints of globulas are measured in TEUs. Globulas may drop different components for equipment crafting.

• 
  System logs listing the components received from a globula.

Globulas are dangerous and will shoot back! When hit your EXISTENSOR will lose its charge proportional to the damage received. Once it's fully depleted, the app will restart automatically with some TEUs added to the EXISTENSOR.

• 
  Way 1
• 
  Way 2

There are two ways to recharge the EXISTENSOR.

1. Place the Harvester into the upper slot, remove any batteries from the lower slot, and walk a bit, so that TEUs gathered charge the EXISTENSOR directly.

2. Use the Resteupythor. This device allows to recharge the EXISTENSOR from a battery without having to move away from the attack point. Place the Resteupythor into the upper slot and a charged battery into the lower one. The battery will recharge the EXISTENSOR.

At the start of the game a 100% success rate Resteupythor blueprint is already placed in your inventory. You need to craft it from the components gathered from Globulas.

Remote Storage: Charging Batteries

• 
  Далее тапом по пустому слоту накопителя открывается меню доступных батарей.
• 
  Нужная батарея тапом перемещается в выбранный слот зарядки.
• 
  Зарядка батареи стартует автоматически после помещения в слот и занимает некоторое время.

Crafting

• 
  Тап по меню INV — Blueprints (чертежи) открывает список доступных чертежей.
• 
  Тап по любому чертежу открывает экран CHRONOFUSER (производственный комплекс).
• 

• 
  Тап по выбранному чертежу открывает окно с описанием предмета и списком необходимых для его изготовления компонентов.

Compass

• 
  Шкала вверху показывает стороны света E, N, W и S.

Chats and logs

• 

• 
  Логи полученного и нанесенного урона можно отключить, нажав на иконку-квазар в правом углу окна чатов.

• 
  В верхней части раздела находится шкала, которая позволяет настроить фильтр сообщений в радиусе 5, 20, 100 и 1000 км от вашего текущего местоположения.

Minting and Transferring Items

• 
  Откроется информационное окно.

• 
  Изображение вашего NFT с иконкой цепочки справа снизу
