In the first 20 minutes of a game you shouldn't come anywhere near overflowing mass, be it a teamgame or a 1vs1.So when is it bad to overflow mass/power? On the famous map called Seton's Clutch for example both front players rush the middle reclaim (What is reclaim? Will get covered soon, keep reading!) and overflow mass to their allies to give them a nice eco boost, leading to advantage. In a teamgame this isn't bad in some situations, because the wasted resources are given to your allies. Overflowing mass/power means that you reached the maximum capacity of your storage, thus leading to wasting the incoming resources. Do you need factories or a T2 mex? Do you need pgens or units? Once you decide on what you need right now, pause or cancel other projects until your economy stabilises or they become the new priority. Since stalling makes all construction happen slower, you need to prioritise. When you stall, it is important to focus on a specific project.Reclaim will get covered a lil bit further, patience! You don't want to destroy a T2 or T3 factory tho, in that case it's better to pause it for a while. If you don't have reclaim available, make it! For example destroying one of your land factories (by selecting it and pressing CTRL+K). Knowing this the following trick will only work early in the game: if you have reclaim available, reclaim it. However, stalling 10 mass at minute 40 ingame with a total mass income of +500 isn't bad at all. For example stalling -10 mass at minute 1 would be really bad. Stalling mass can be bad, depending on your total income and how much you use of it.When you've enough power income again you can continue producing air! And in the meantime you can build some power generators quite fast. However, pausing air for a while isn't, especially when you already have air control. Stalling power is horrible, we all know that.Luckily there are a few tricks to limit this disadvantage: Its very easy to stall your economy by accident, which puts you at a disadvantage.

How to deal with accidental economy stalls:

When draining power all your shields go down, all your stealth fields and radars get disabled, and you cannot produce air efficiently anymore.

You'll slow down everything, from building anti air turrets while under fire from gunships, to finishing the last 5% of your experimental while the enemy is at your front lines.

While stalling one resource, you cannot efficiently use the other one.

In almost all situations this is considered to be a bad thing, why? Stalling mass/power means that your storage is empty and you're draining your economy. Prepare for a wall of text, because these two are very important! There are two things you want to prevent from happening to your economy: stalling and overflowing mass/power. Note that the ACU cannot start construction of a hydro. They give the same income as 5 power generators, but only cost 2.5 power generators, making them very cost-efficient. These can only be built on certain places though, and on some maps you can't build them at all. You can also build hydrocarbon power plants to gain more power income. Another way to get mass income is by reclaiming wreckages or building Mass Fabricators, these will get covered in the tutorial.ДЄlso known as Power, this resource can be obtained via power generators, which can be built everywhere! This resource is not limited, so you can get as much as you like. The economy consists out of two resources:Д¬an be obtained via mass extractors, which can only be built on Mass Points.

Okay, so now you've learned some fancy words it's time to introduce you to the first aspect of the game, the ECONOMY! This is a very small part of the Glossary.

buildpower = how fast a unit can build, repair, capture, and reclaim.mapcontrol = how much on the map you control, doesn't necessarily have to be mass points (for example holding the area between two expansions of the opponent).micro = the usage of units (for example dodging artillery).macro = related to the base, economy and production (opposite of micro).eco = economy (mass + power income and storage).Let's start gaining knowledge! There are a bunch of words you'll need to know because you'll see them fairly often, which are the following: In this chapter we'll cover the basics of economy and some build orders to get you started.
