Guides

This page provides links to all of the different game-play guides. These will range from beginner guides to guides detailing particular features of the game and how to get the most out of designs.

Do note that guides rarely stay fully up-to-date for long, due to the game being actively developed. They may still provide bits of useful info, but for up-to-date tips it may be better to ask on the Steam forum, the official forum, or the FtD_help channel of the official Discord server.

Guides From Other Communities
The guides on the official FTD forums and from Steam are usually more up to date and cover a wide range of topics.
