There's a basic getting started guide that walks you through the most basic mechanics of the game. It's highly recommended that you work through this.

The game is designed to be played 24/7. It can be advantageous to deploy the game to a SAAS that allows you to run 24/7.

Some low cost providers:

• fly.io - You can run a client on fly.io for less than $5/month.
• heroku - you can deploy a single dyno that stays connected for $5/month.
