My Colony: Zolarg Race - Game Guide - Update 0.42 Includes Higher Command & Aluminum Mines | Ep 2
A guided tour from the start using the Zolarg race. This race is still under active development so things aren't perfect yet and not all buildings and research are available yet.
This race plays much differently than the Human race. Worker drones are like vehicles but you'll need a LOT of them. Ore is also in limited supply so you want to save enough until you can generate your own using the Mining Operation.
Some of the buildings and what they do:

Aluminum Hive (collect aluminium make alumibug)
Aluminum Mine
Lumber Camp (collect wood make lumberbug)
Higher Command (allows independence)
