#### Controls

The controls are same as regular Minetest's controls, with some exceptions:

* Some blocks can be `Use`d.

* If you enabled the clientmod, building will use drag-n-drop gestures.

#### Resources

Some actions require resources. The types of resources are:

* Spore - from fertile soil (dark soil)

    Wooden spike barricade. Returns damage to attackers. Cannot be stacked.

2. **Wall**

    Stone wall.

3. **Door**

    Wooden door. Minions can pass through doors. Can be `Use`d to manually toggle.

4. **Den**

    A home for Minions. Heals wounded Minions. Can be `Use`d to spawn more Minions.

5. **Extractor**

    Extracts resources from the ground. Place directly on a resource block.

6. **Ballista**

    Weapon. Minions can operate this to defend the fort. Uses Metal as ammunition.

Player-built structures need support otherwise they will collapse.
