Find the setting

Open your game settings and search for "grid." The option controlling building grid visibility during placement lives there. Toggle it on and the grid appears whenever you queue a building for construction.

Why the grid matters

Precise building placement affects defense coverage, metal extraction efficiency, and wall integrity. The grid shows you exactly where structures snap, helping you avoid gaps in shield coverage or misaligned defensive positions.

Learning from replay analysis

Watching replays of skilled players on bar-rts.com reveals building placement patterns you can copy. Seeing how experienced players position factories, defenses, and economy buildings teaches more than any written guide.

Learn with structured support

Mentor replay review is available through the BAR Academy. Create a thread in the Academy channel, share your replay link, and experienced players walk through your placement decisions. Creed of Champions members regularly use this system to improve.
