Hex Planet: Mastering the Basics. Beginner Strategies
Are you ready to embark on your journey to become a successful landowner in HEX Planet?
Before you start building and expanding your territory, it’s crucial to master the core mechanics and lay a solid foundation for your future success. This guide will equip you with beginner-friendly strategies to ensure your empire thrives from the get-go.
Building a Sustainable Economy
Many new players jump right into constructing resource-intensive buildings like mines and factories. However, this approach can backfire quickly, as these buildings require significant resources for maintenance and repairs. Instead, focus on building a sustainable economic infrastructure that generates the resources needed for long-term growth.
Building Health: The Key to Efficiency
Every building in HEX Planet has a “Health” indicator that directly impacts its productivity. The higher the health, the more efficient your building operates, leading to increased resource production and faster development. Think of it as keeping your tools well-maintained for optimal performance!

Staffing Your Buildings
Buildings are the backbone of any thriving empire, but simply building them isn’t enough. You’ll need a dedicated workforce to keep them running smoothly. “Residential” buildings, for example, provide the workers you need, with one level 1 Residential building producing 50 workers. For a level 1 Factory to run at 100% efficiency, you’ll need to build two Residential buildings.
Resource Collection: Drones vs. Proximity
Collecting resources from your buildings can be done in two ways. You can either be located near the building itself, or you can utilize drones. Drones are a great option for remote collection, but they require an additional investment in a “Drone Garage.”
Optimizing Worker Allocation
As your empire expands, managing your workforce becomes crucial. The number of workers assigned to a building directly affects its productivity. Ensure you have enough workers for your buildings to operate efficiently.
Balancing Worker Demand and Supply
With multiple buildings requiring workers, it’s important to find a balance. If you have other buildings like factories competing for workers, some may be diverted away from your Residential buildings. Here’s what you can do:
- Build More Residential Buildings: If you find yourself constantly short-handed, construct additional Residential buildings to increase your worker pool.
- Prioritize Buildings: Decide which buildings are most critical for your current goals and allocate workers accordingly.
- Monitor and Adjust: Regularly monitor your worker situation and adjust your workforce as needed to ensure optimal productivity across all your buildings.
Conclusion
By following these beginner strategies and understanding the impact of worker allocation and building health, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a successful landowner in HEX Planet. Remember, a strong foundation is key to long-term success. Now, get out there and start building your empire!
