Have you tried the tutorial? You need to build magma pumps (on hot spots) and power plants which will supply you with more magma and power. You can also use your engineers to harvest some rocks or trees but those only give you small amounts of resources.

Subject: [bos-dev] Campaign very difficult
I started trying to play the campaign, but I run out of magma quickly and can't build anything. I would like to contribute to the game but it is difficult to do when I can't even get a feel for the way the game is played. Any hints?
