About

This guide is intended for players who are ready to take the next step for their SuperGroup, building a base. There is plenty of information available on bases but because of the sheer magnitude of data it can become overwhelming very quickly. This player guide is inteded to help you build your first base, there will be no details beyond the basics. There will be links provided throughout the guide for more specific information on the topic at hand.

Since this is a player guide it can always become out of date. Please contact Ant. or update the page as appropriate.


Before Building

Before you start building a base there are a few things to consider. Starting your base is free, however almost every aspect of building it up costs Prestige.

Prestige

Everything that goes in to a base costs prestige. Prestige is earned when SuperGroup members play in SuperGroup Mode. It is also important to note that the first 15 members earn the SuperGroup a modest 20,000 prestige each just for joining. That's a whopping 300,000 prestige, which is just enough to get you a functioning base with one Telepad.

Getting a Permit

A SuperGroup does not start with a base by default. Instead, return to a Super Group Registrar and get a building permit.

Finding your Base

After your base is ready to go you need to find the entrance. These can be found on your map as a green circle with the letter P on it. After you navigate to it just click on the swirling portal and select Your Base.
