IDIOT'S GUIDE TO FED2
PLANETARY CONSTRUCTION
USING THE FED 2 WORKBENCH
The Fed2 Workbench is a set of tools that let you create and edit the various files that make up a planet. There are two editors in the basic workbench: the location editor and the message editor. At higher ranks, you can add objects and mobiles to your planet, and write events to make interesting things happen; you use the advanced workbench editors for this.
You can download the Fed 2 Workbench from http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/workbench/index.html. The download includes the manual that explains how the Workbench works and what you can and can't do on your planet - you must, must, must read the manual because there are things you need to know that you won't be able to figure out for yourself. If you don't do things right, your planet won't work!
There is a version of the Workbench for Windows and for the Mac. The Windows version can also be run under Linux with the WINE emulator.
