Alphatron

Alphatron is a chemical which is needed to produce equipment. Some background information about Alphatron can be found here.

To replenish your stock of Alphatron you need build Alphatron mines. These mine bases automatically produce Alphatron. You can build them in the same way as additional bases (Bases -> create base). In the popup-window you will see a map of the planet where you can place the base. The color shows where to find more or less Alphatron. Everything beyond 20 is good, but don't forget, that UFOs might attack the mine and the transporters, since they are defenceless. You may only build 1 mine in each country.

Next you will have to build living quartiers in your mine and recruit workers. The mine can produce without workers, but it will be very inefficient (~10% of max. output). To increase the output you have to asign some workers to the mine (to max production you need 250 workpoints).

The Alphatron will be transferred to your base every day if you don't change the options. Be sure to have enough storage in your base, or the surplus Alphatron will be thrown away.

Since v0.910 you might need aditional raw materials for some productions.
