AI Seeds claim planets. AI Ship Minds claim ships and stations.
To claim a planet, plant an AI Seed on the surface. It grows into an AI Growth, then an AI Fortress. You control the planet when the fortress appears. The fortress holds an AI Mind. Destroy that Mind to take the planet from someone else. A planet can only have one AI claim at a time. If a seed is already growing, or a fortress is already there, you cannot plant another.
To claim a ship or station, drop an AI Ship Mind on a tile. If an AI is already there, destroy it first.
Right click the AI Mind and Manage, then Show, to set rules. The AI spends energy to enforce those rules and slowly generates energy, up to 200 on its own. That is not enough to protect much. Each AI Battery adds 20,000 energy storage. On planets, batteries and cores count on the surface and inside the fortress.
AI Cores let the AI spawn stronger defenders. Right now only the first core does anything. There are no monsters beyond the AI Edifice yet.
