A Quick Guide to the Fragmentum Tech Demo
What is this?
The Fragmentum Tech demo is an alpha version of Fragmentum released for free to demonstrate the game. This version of the game is still free and publicly available. This guide is for the tech demo, it does not reflect changes made since the demo's release. If you are looking for a current game guide, it is here.
In Game Controls
Tab: to toggle camera mode.
ASDW Keys: To move the camera around.
Space, Left Shift: To move the camera up and down.
These keys can be rebound by modifying the settings.ini file. For Example adding the following to settings.ini will rebind to asdw.
FORWARD=w
BACKWARD=s
RIGHT=d
LEFT=a
Victory
The game ends when only 1 player has units left. Unfortunatly victory does not yet work properly for team games.
Blueprint Studio
To allow a unit to build other units, that unit must have an archive, and repair modules. The archive module controls what units a unit can build. Enter the names of the units to be built under archive data before placing the archive.
Ion Collectors will not work without an Ion Focus module present, and vice versa. Ion Collectors control the damage of the weapon, Ion Focus determine range. More Ion Collectors mean more damage. Only one Ion Focus can charge and fire at a time, range is dependent on the level of the Focus module.
The power field allows you to increase the stats of the module to be placed. Most modules scale exponentially.
Mechanics
There are two types of armor, light and heavy. Each weapon has a light and a heavy dps. Non-armor blocks take the higher damage when hit by a weapon.
Lobby
The starting unit field controls what unit your precursor can build. Simply enter the name of the unit there.
The settings option on the main menu is unimplemented. All settings can currently be accessed through the settings.ini file.
While I hope you will build and finely tune your own faction, some premade factions come with this build, their starting units are a1, b1, c1, and d1.
Hosting
To host a game UDP traffic on port 21405 must be allowed/forwarded.
