+## Onboarding
+
 ℹ️ We provide ready-to-use downloads for the Unvanquished game on the [Unvanquished download page](https://unvanquished.net/download/), builds of the Dæmon engine are included.
 
 ℹ️ The Unvanquished game logic source code can be found there: [github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished](https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished).
 
+💡️ Building this engine is enough to play the game and join servers once you [download the game's assets](https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished#downloading-the-games-assets).
+
+💡️ You need to build this repository if you want to contribute to the engine code (not the game logic).
+
+See below for [build](#building-the-engine-binaries) and [launch](#running-a-game) instructions.
+
+If you are interested in creating or using Unvanquished packages for package managers, see

 💡️ Instead of `-j4` you can use `-jN` where `N` is your number of CPU cores to distribute compilation on them. Linux systems usually provide a handy `nproc` tool that tells the number of CPU core so you can just do `-j$(nproc)` to use all available cores.
