Build OrdersThere are a number of build orders in this game, some of them are aggressive while others are passive. There are ones that focus on units and others that focus on research points.
A very useful tip here is to hold in shift when you are giving a unit orders/ build orders. This will allow you to queue multiple buildings (destination points) and not make the building of your base very stop and start.
The following are 3 basic build orders to guide you in your game.
Focused Land Build OrderAll these build orders are built with both engineers and your ACU simultaneously.
