Existing guides:
* be [[Plugins#ExilePearl|nice]] but cautious
* join [[:Category:Civilization|established players]] to learn from them and use their [[FactoryMod|infrastructure]]

* use [[Plugins#JukeAlert|Jukes]] and store your wealth in [[#Drop Chests|drop chests]]
* use [[mods]] and learn the [[:Category:Mechanics|game mechanics]] to not waste your time
