Core Gameplay

The points below outline the actions that will be evaluated during the 2023 BEST Robotics - Global Logistics Challenge. All actions have a maximum possible score beyond which repeated actions earn 0 points. While nearly all actions are repeatable, the core milestones will only earn in-game and score-wise rewards once. The actions taken by all players on the same team will be aggregated when scoring. Only the first fifty hours of gameplay and actions taken by players on a team will be summed when calculating your team's round score.

In addition to scores for reaching all milestones and taking various actions, the Maximum Size of your Village at each Technology Level will provide you with an uncapped Distribution Complex Score determined by how many Polycraft World Delivery Bots you recruit and are Warehousing and how efficient they are.
