Quick start
This takes about ten minutes the first time.
1. Prepare the emulator
Set up BlueStacks 5 as described in Requirements: portrait 720 × 1280, ADB on, game in English and logged in.
2. Open the control hub
Start AFK Atlas from the desktop shortcut. The control hub opens with an Overview tab and one tab per account.
3. Add your account
- Click ＋ Add account.
- Choose the BlueStacks instance (or type the ADB port, such as
127.0.0.1:5555). - Give the account a name you will recognise.
The helper reads the account once: Sanctuary level, number of squads, alliance and which features are unlocked. From that it switches on a sensible set of modules. New accounts (Sanctuary below level 15) get a growth-focused set; developed accounts get the daily, rally and gathering set. Modules that spend resources start switched off.
4. Check the switches
Open the account's Settings page and look through the modules. Every module has one main switch and a few options. Changes save automatically within two seconds.
Things worth deciding on day one:
- Which squads may join rallies and which should gather.
- Whether building, research, healing and training may spend resources.
- Whether any diamond-refresh switches should be on (they are off by default).
5. Start
Press Start on the account card. The status dot turns green and the card shows the current task, the next task and the latest log line.
- Pause stops all taps at once and keeps the account paused, even after a restart, until you press Resume.
- Stop ends that account. F12 stops all accounts.
- Closing the hub with ✕ stops all accounts.
6. Keep an eye on the alert area
Under each account card the alert area shows anything that needs you (red) or that you should know about (yellow). Alerts clear on their own when the problem is solved.
