Galaxy Life FAQ by Chico

Hi Humans,

We thought it could be a good idea to help you out a bit at first by answering your some Frequently Asked Questions Here they are:

Why do my units not come back?

Troops don’t come back even if they survive because this game is all about the strategy! You must make sure you manage well your resources so that what you lose in your attack is absolutely worth what you can end up winning. Keep in mind you wouldn’t want to lose more minerals/coins that those you can win with the attack

I have just entered my planet, Why have my resources disappeared?

Your colony wasn’t properly defended and someone took advantage of it, decided to attack you and ran away with your minerals and coins. Don’t worry though, you will have the chance to take revenge on that someone and get back what’s yours!

You can prevent this from happening by getting the Colony Shield, while you wear it you will not be attacked.

How does the Colony Shield work?

If your colony receives more than 50% damage you will recieve a shield that will be active for 12 hours.

If you receive more than 75% damage, your colony will be defended for 36 hours straight!

If one person attacks you four times in one hour, you will get one hour of protection.

If 10 people attack you in 24 hours the shield will protect you for 36 hours.

Keep in mind your shield will be active until you attack someone, so be careful

Why are my attacks not successful?

Each unit has its own personality.
They behave differently depending on their skills, targets, range, velocity, etc.
You can find this information by clicking the blue “i” icon that appears on top of all the units’ pictures.

Galaxy Life Base Defense Tips and Strategy Guide

Why can’t I add units to my friends’ bunkers?

Adding units to your friends’ bunkers is one of the best ways to help them as it helps them defend their planets from attacks and keeps them from spending any coins to achieve this!
You must make sure you haven’t ran out of helping clicks before you try to do this, otherwise you won’t be able to add any units until the next 24 hrs.

Why can’t I chat in fullscreen?

Although this might seem like a bug, it isn’t. It’s just a Flash limitation. Flash won’t process any action that requires typing in fullscreen, so anytime you want to chat, the screen will shrink automatically.

How can I upgrade my StarBase to level 5?

Taking your StarBase to that level might seem complicated, but it’s really a piece of cake (even for the Starlings!)! All you need to do is upgrade your banks so that you are able to store at least 750.000 coins, buy the Observatory and colonize a planet! Do this and you’ll only be one step away of becoming the King of our Galaxies!

What’s a colony?

As real explorers, you have probably taken a look around the galaxy and your have probably realized there are some empty planets in some of the planetary systems. These planets are free for you to colonize but you will need to have enough resources and one Observatory. If you manage to have it all, the planet could be yours!

How can I move my buildings?

Next to your friends’ bar, you will be able to see an image of a planet and a green arrow on top. Click this arrow and select the “Move” option to move your buildings around.

I need to complete the “Find a Chip” quest but I have already cleared my landscape, What should I do?

Galaxy Life’s planets are extremely fertile so life will definitely grow again in your colony while you are offline! All you have to do is wait until plants and other objects grow back and you will have the chance to find that precious chip and complete the mission. Good luck! (Note: You should be inactive for about 6 hrs)

Can I deploy units outside the construction area?

Yes, you can.
This is a great thing to have in mind. Even though there are some areas of the map where you can’t build on, you’ll still be able to deploy units to attack your enemies.
