Base Building
The Guardians don't actually play like more traditional races mainly due to only being able to build 3 different buildings: Machine Station (HQ), Datalink Towers, and Advanced Plasma Cores. Due to this the Machine Station also doubles as a production building, responsible for making all of their units and cycles through the unit types it is able to produce with its ability.

They gain all their resources through building Datalink Towers which by default produce credits but also have a toggle to swap to power generation.

Datalink and Automation
Any units have the stat known as "AUTOMATION", which replaces morale with connection. If these units don't stay at the Datalinking Towers then morale will start to go down, and once it hits zero, they can't be commanded. They can regain memory by being near Datalinking units/structures

Light/Dark Switching
The Guardians have the light/dark mode dynamic that causes them to act almost as two factions.

Light and dark mode will affect all units under Guardian control, granting them different abilities and changing their dynamics: In light mode, unit sight and weapon range are increased, aircraft and some units fly, and projectiles cause a burning effect on impact. In dark mode all aerial units are grounded and act as heavy infantry/vehicles, and all units gain dark matter armor that regenerates slowly and protects the units and buildings from damage. In addition, sight and weapon range and damage are also decreased, but the fire rate and movement speed of units is increased.

The mode the Guardians are currently in may be switched at any time but there is a delay before the mode will take effect and there is a short period afterward during which the player cannot switch.

The Guardians tech trees hinge upon the use of the light and dark mode and the abilities of the Masari heroes and superweapons change based on the mode.
