Don't skip the tutorial! Hape, your in-game guide, thoroughly explains every feature, from vehicle operation to the company menu (where you manage materials, purchase machinery, and set waypoints).
Tackle the Jobs
After completing the tutorial, you'll find jobs in the company menu. Focus on campaign missions, supplementing with "General Contracts" for extra experience and funds between challenging missions.
