There is a Manual, help on line or a Wiki explaining this game ? I have a frustating experience because I was unable to go beyond the first steps. In particular I don't succeed in assigning personnel to the various department.
Thanks

Hello gianfranco,

Welcome to the SPM forums! At the moment there's no manual. Since the game is in a state of constant flux (new gameplay mechanics, changes to the UI, etc), the manual will be written once it becomes more stable. Rest assured, a manual will be shipped with the released version of the game.

In the meantime, may I suggest you take a look at the youtube videos made by members of the community? Seeing the game in action should sort out most of your questions.

Regarding personnel, notice that you start the game with 5 technical employees (SET). Flight Controllers and Astronauts need to be hired from their respective centres (Mission Control and Astronauts Center), which need to be built at the beginning of the game.

Cheers,

Thanks, I will try another time

Its pretty straightforward but feel free to ask questions on here if you get stuck.

Sure, for myself I'll answer as much as I can to gameplay-related questions. The game has indeed changed a lot and whole new concepts (like the "mix'n'match") have been implemented, so really don't be afraid to ask.

BTW, remember that the "numerical data" stuff like rockets/payloads costs, R&D difficulty factors, some safety % penalties related to goals "chaining" and other variables of this order will still be in a very "temporary" state in this new release. We'll keep some time to polish this before the game gets released (which will certainly not happen before several other iterations), and BTW, it will impact the gameplay. Of course, your feedback on this will greatly help to fine-tune things.
