Flamethrowers are badass but you will need to run pipes to them. Laser turrets are great because you don't have to maintain ammo, but they use A LOT of electricity when fired, so have enough accumulators storing excess energy to support them. Eventually you can get flamethrowers and lasers, but standard turrets will remain useful through the game. You can have belts around the edge of your base to automatically feed your turrets. If you're playing with biters (I think you should the first time), automate ammo early. They will allow you to see what's going on in the nearby area from the map view so you don't need to walk everywhere, and they also scan small areas further out over time so you can track biter nests. Put radars up around the edges of your base, and at any outposts. For every thing you think you need space for, you will need 10x more than you initially build for. I read this tip a bunch and still didn't space out enough. Once you have robots, you can tell them to tear up entire portions of your base.īy the time I finished my game, I had moved my main factory further away, and almost my entire original base had been re-paved and repurposed. When you think your initial base is big, eventually that space will be no more than a very small section of your overall footprint. Spaghetti (what your belts and pipes will look like if you build your base without pre-planning) is OK, especially at first. Over time you will understand why the ratios matter, how to organize your base efficiently, how to boost production & transport materials faster, etc., but I definitely recommend starting with only some basic knowledge and learning what NOT to do, and how to fix and improve your situation first. Many of the tips were too math-y or explained complex setups of things I didn't really understand without having experience first. When I started, I looked for a lot of advice, including beginner tips. I'm not an expert by any stretch- it took me 80 hours over a few months, and my base, while improving, is still very inefficient. I just launched my first rocket! Yay! (default settings with biters)
