In a world with limited resources (and size), even air is precious. It's obvious that there will be people who won't be happy with someone digging coal and releasing it as carbon dioxide.
You are the bad guy here.

How to lose the game


Either:
* Let 6 enemies enter the power plant
* Run out of food (your units refuse to eat coal)

How to play

* Place buildings on map
* Power plant
* Helipad
* Coal mine
* Farm
* Assign some workers to the coal mine (press Q or 1 when hovering over coal mine) - your food supplies will start to decrease and coal will begin to flow into your storage.
* Assign some workers to the farm until your food supplies stop decreasing (same as above).
* Assign workers to the power plant (same as above) - the more workers the more turrets you can have active, but you'll use food and coal at faster rate.
* Your coal supplies will start to decrease. Move additional workers to coal mine or remember to do that later. Running out of coal will cause your power plant to turn off for a while.
* Start placing turrets (press Q or 1 when hovering over empty tile)
* Yellow turrets are powered
* Gray turrets are unpowered (won't shoot enemies)
* Disabled turrets use food at low rate, but enemies can't pass through them. Try to make single long path for the enemies.
* If enemy wave is far from active turrets, disable them and enable ones close to the head of the wave.
* Defend the power plant - don't let enemies to it.

Additionally:
* Turn off unused turrets to reduce energy usage (press E or 3 when hovering over turret)
* Remove unwanted turrets to reduce energy and food usage (press R or 4 when hovering over turret)

* Move workers to farm when food levels are low (sound notification when less than 33% of maximum storage)
* Move workers to coal mine when coal levels are low
* Move workers to power plant when additional turrets need to be powered
* Remove units to reduce food usage (press W or 2 when hovering over building)
