<div class="IPBDescription">What's up with those resources then?</div>Hey folks. I'm an ex-NS1 player and knowing how brutal that game was when you were starting out, I fired up a local server first to take a look at some of the new game mechanics, and played around in the command chair a bit, ran around the level, checked out how the power system worked, etc.
And then I got a <i>leeeetle </i> confused.
In the upper right, you have your available resources. I assume that the "power" is the blue glowy icon. And that the normal "Resource Points" are the green icon.
I built a resource node in the room ajoining my Command Console, and a couple of turrets after upgrading the CC. Then I upgraded one of the resource nodes, and built a second CC and an armoury, then went to upgrade the second CC. And ran out of resources. And never got any more from the two RTs I had set up.
Known bug? Or am I missing something?

You can start the game by entering 'cheats 1' in console.
Also I *think* theres two resource types? For some reason when I see Sentry for example and it has a Green 5 next to it (plasma/carbon? I dunno which is which) it sometimes does not build.
I think the CommChair itself has resource supplies too? Can anyone clarify?
cheats 1 (turn on cheats)
...then if you want some really bad bots to fight against:
dev 1 (turn on dev mode)
addbots x (add this many bots)
dev 0 (turn off dev mode)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Note that cheats 1 start the game even if you are alone.
