	=== When will the game send me notifications? ===		=== When will the game send me notifications? ===
	~~The~~ game asks for notification permission after you ~~queue~~ your first ~~building~~ once the tutorial is done ~~(when you close the building window), not while it loads~~. If you choose '''~~Maybe Later~~''', it asks again a few days later, up to three times; if notifications are blocked on your device, ~~the prompt~~ offers to open your system settings. You can also turn them on any time from '''Settings → Notification Settings''', which shows a '''Turn On Notifications''' button while they are off. With notifications on you get attack alerts, finished builds and research, fleet arrivals and alliance news. '''Return reminders''' are occasional nudges when you have been away: if you stop playing, you get one after about two days and another after about five, telling you if your colonies were attacked while you were gone or that your alliance needs you. You can turn Return reminders off under '''Settings → Notification Settings'''. See [[Version 1.4.8]].		On Android, the game asks for notification permission once when it starts; the game keeps loading behind the question. If you say no (and on iPhone), it asks with a short question after you send your first fleet, once the tutorial is done. If you choose '''Not now''', it asks again a few days later, up to three times; if notifications are blocked on your device, it offers to open your system settings. You can also turn them on any time from '''Settings → Notification Settings''', which shows a '''Turn On Notifications''' button while they are off. With notifications on you get attack alerts, finished builds and research, fleet arrivals and alliance news.

You can turn Return reminders off under '''Settings → Notification Settings'''. See [[Version 1.4.8]].

			== Account ==

			=== How do I keep my empire if I change phones? ===
			Link a sign-in method under '''Settings → Account → Sign-in methods''': your '''email''' (we send you a 6-digit code), your '''Google''' account, or '''Apple''' on iPhone. A ✓ shows each linked method. On the web, sign in with any linked method to play the same empire.

			'''On a new phone''', open '''Settings → Account → Sign-in methods''' and link the method you used before. The game sees that it belongs to your empire and offers to '''switch''' this device to it. You can keep only one empire: empires are never merged, and the one you leave is deleted.
			* If the empire you are leaving is less than a day old (for example the one the tutorial just started), it is simply deleted.
			* Otherwise you are asked to confirm twice, and told about any unused Quantum Shards or purchases on it, which are lost. It is deleted after 7 days; its other devices and sign-in methods then open the empire you switched to.

			You can unlink a method at any time, except the last one of an empire that is only played on the web. '''Device Migration''' (a one-time code from your old device) still works too. See [[Version 1.4.12]].

	'''Tip:''' After a last-minute scout, open the scout report (or its mail row while it is still fresh — about the last '''10 minutes''') to recall '''Attack''' or '''Station''' fleets still bound for that target. Transport and other peaceful missions are not listed. One fleet shows a single '''Recall Attack''' / '''Recall Station''' control; several fleets show a short list (origin, time remaining, per-fleet recall). Example: launch an attack, scout the destination, see stronger defenses than expected, then recall from the report without hunting the fleet list.

	A Ship Production Engine speeds up a Shipyard's ship building; a Graveyard Reconstruction Engine speeds up graveyard recovery.

A Ship Production Engine speeds up a Shipyard's ship building; a Graveyard Reconstruction Engine speeds up graveyard recovery. They are forged with resources and installed in the Shipyard's Engine Bay, where they give a passive bonus (+15–35%) for 30 days. Once calibrated, one can be overcharged for a week at full power (up to +300%), after which it burns out. See [[Engines]].

	=== Can engines be stolen? ===		=== Can engines be stolen? ===
	Yes, ~~while~~ they ~~wait in Colony Stores~~. ~~Running~~ engines and engines still being forged are safe. See [[Engines#Raiding\|Engines → Raiding]].		Yes, in solo attacks. Stored engines are looted like resources, and a winning raid has a 25% chance to steal and a 15% chance to destroy each installed engine. Joint (FCS) attacks take no engines; they can only destroy installed ones. Overcharged engines and engines still being forged are safe. See [[Engines#Raiding\|Engines → Raiding]].
