Dystopian Xenoplanet Mining Facility Strategy - Calyx

[@NiftyPants]

Hearing "Creeper World" immediately gets my attention like a sleeper agent's code phrase.

[@KevinShriner]

Lol! +1 to this! 😅😅

[@Ex0du52169]

*Neuron activation* I've not played the newest Creeper World, maybe I'll look up some footage. I enjoyed the others at least.

[@plumbthumbs9584]

Creeper World rocks!

LONGING. RUSTED. SEVENTEEN. DAYBREAK. FURNACE. NINE. BENIGN. HOMECOMING. ONE. FREIGHT CAR. 😁

[@kingkiller244]

I cosign +1

[@LuaanTi]

I love how the game tells you "The bottom right is probably the easiest place to start your facility but if you're up for a challenge then start on the island in the middle![sic]" and then you're like "huh, the middle should be easy to defend" :D

[@mfsebcw]

ironically, it might be. i played the recommended start, but i had fewer patches of ore by the time i was hemmed in. maybe more ore would have let me expand faster. i felt the walls were useless, and i should rush the mobile artillery research next time.

[@knight_lautrec_of_carim]

Not reading tutorials properly is a splattercat staple at this point sweat😅

[@TheNeomare]

@@mfsebcw I managed to clear the map in under 60 minutes starting bottom right and the 2 starting ore locations are enough to build up a big enough army to do it. map is clearable with light and medium tanks. So you do not need to rush the artillery. Took me 40 minutes to take down the first spawner thing, 10 for the second 1 and 5 for the final one. As your tank numbers grow your progress gets faster and faster. For faster clears i also find it useful to hold the gained territory by turrets to free up my mobile units for the attack. As i was pushing into the 2nd one i did finally research the artillery to try it out. It is actually pretty cool and can cut the roots quite deep But i do not think it would do to much without proper unit support to take the territory because the things regrow super fast. its a cool game. Reminds me a bit of creeper world but a bit better. and yes, walls are useless, so are siloes and energy batteries. I think you need to build 1 silo if you want to go for the tech but... tech is so expensive and takes so long to pay off i would not recommend it if you wish to clear the map in under 60 minutes light and medium tanks worked for me. Cheers!

[@TheMrPandaMaster]

Tried the demo before watching this, didnt start in the bottom right as well but as soon as you get the artillery being in the middle is glorious when you just have to have them pick at the roots from up high while another one goes for the root much closer to the heart of it hahaha. It was pretty cool when I was seconds from being overwhelmed when a shell went and cleared 60% of the map.

[@billylionisnotagoat]

@@mfsebcw The thin island in the bottom corner has direct line of sight control over the 2 major openings into the valley once you take those your golden

[@ombrepourpre7562]

9:30 you can clearly see the "green zone" where the turrets can fire upon. And the wall you build break the line of sight. In other words... Build them in the wall itself, not behind! Thanks for the discovery ❤

[@Radignostic]

so glad to see creeper world getting new little godchildren in the rts space. its a needlessly underrated gameplay loop

[@Mr_Quimper]

"I'm happier, when social media, doesn't exist inside my life"... PREACH

[@nufh]

This turtling style gameplay, totally nailed it.

[@Muenni]

Sadly, zerg rushing the plants with light tanks, zero defenses or research is super effective. At least in the demo.

[@mikedsps]

I found turtling is a good way to find yourself boxed in with limited access to rapidly dwindling minerals surrounded by angry plants that regenerate as fast as you can kill them. Teching up costs a lot and it's pretty slow. Hopefully they solve this imbalance as it looks pretty promising

[@Muenni]

@@mikedsps It would be great if you could turtle in long enough to research tools to break out and clear and conquer some more mineral spots. Then use those to build an army strong enough to defeat the plants. For that the plants would need to be stronger the closer you get to their core. And the balancing of light tanks vs towers, and all of the expensive research has to be reevaluated.

[@mikedsps]

@@Muenni I played some more today and yeah, you're completely right, I dropped my base right next to the pink flower as that is the most dangerous one and killed it very quickly then rushed down to kill the plant on the left killing that easily too. I then pushed to block the plants spread on the eastern ramp and built a defensive wall near my base. The wall was a waste of resources I think, more tanks would have been far better. The game definitely has potential but rushing is just far better.

[@allenr316]

Apparently if you place your turrets behind a wall to defend them, it royally messes up their firing arcs. If you place the turrets ON a wall (which will make them vulnerable to attack), it greatly increases their shooting distances.

[@Insandom]

I think you misunderstand it, and Splat did too, but they're not vulnerable turrets, but a wall with a gun on top. They're only vulnerable if the creep can reach'em.

[@ChaoticNeutralDude]

turrets have the same HP as the wall

[@ThatGuyKal]

Walls seem like a waste of resource in this game.

[@Insandom]

@@ThatGuyKal They're only 10 ore, extremely cheap.

[@VIP-ry6vv]

Creeper world needs more attention. This is an interesting proof of concept and I had fun with it, hopefully the devs stay on it

[@PineWierdo]

Ot seems that the two colors have different roles. Green: Defensive with tanky trunks and a faster spread. Red: Offensive with a slower spread but can spawn turrets.

[@grams18]

They could play around with that even more and introuce more variants of these seeds/roots so that in later maps they could even generate enemy units that are aiming at you base or that those seeds can evolve over a certain time and getting stronger and become even bigger thread and so on. ^^

[@mirkalimaricadie160]

Which is interesting because since they don't overlap, in the example above, you could try to use forces to push back the red creep so that the green creep fills in and expands further north, removing the threat of enemy turrets on your base, allowing you to then focus on expanding south so that you can eventually amass enough forces to clear the map. Basically "gardening" the different creeps becomes a strategy.

[@the_ttr]

put turrets on wall so they can shoot at 0 distance. Currently artillery and light tanks are all what You need - aim artillery at trunks (branching points) while light ones form a line (space them) so they can clear creep. tanks can't shoot under themself so you need min of two with some spacing to keep assisting themself. Mines, need to be placed full-bore - i think they should also clear one tile around.

[@Muenni]

Currently, light tanks are all you need. I built zero defense or research and simply rushed them.

[@themorebeer3072]

In a game like this I wishlist unit orders: attack strongest, attack closest, attack toughest, attack most damaged, attack densest collection etc. If you could set your mediums to attack strongest while your lights attack closest and artillery attack densest, you'd have a quite capable strikeforce with minimal micro.

[@legomacinnisinc]

Man, creeper world sends me back. I remember playing it when it was still a flash game. Love the look of this and just grabbed the demo.

[@MyrdinAnnoth]

Green creep is more durable but doesnt attack, Pink is the opposite. Also destroying the main veins/trunks instantly killing all calyx that spawned from is quite nice touch. I like the overall idea. Agree with Splat, one charm of Creeper world is, that you are not time pressed to rush. You have infinite basic resources and finite number of special nodes that you usually need to fight your way through. The ore in this game need to be similar in that, so that a player who likes to play slowly and clear the map fully can do just that, while someone going for a fast clear score can also do their thing. Some QoL need to be added: Unit movement formations, selectible target priority. Rafineries need to suck the ore in AoE, not in square beneath them (thats a very weird, pointlesly finicky design), etc. But as a proof of concept this works for me. Hopefully they can pull this off and we get a nice Creeper world alternative.

[@loveless131]

I like the concepts here. Fighting a slow natural threat instead of having an arms race against other factions. That's usually where I hit the wall in RTS games. I like the building and exploring and processing stuff parts of RTS, but the factions are always faster at building troops and being aggressive than I am. I am but a humble turtle.

[@v.u.c1916]

dude, i love how you put the intro saying to be detached of social media. I followed you and liked for that, keep me updated.

[@dakel20]

Picked this up and went in blind after I saw ya post this and said creeper world. Coming back to just say this game is a fantastic blast, definitely had a ton of fun with the demo, and can't wait for release.

[@OTOss8]

Looks great. Thanks for highlighting this game.

[@SeroKitsune]

CREEPER WORLD MENTIONED!

[@2Jackrabbit]

turtling is nice fully onboard with this type of gameplay. Management macro and micro mix, i'm sold

[@jonsnell8959]

Looks a fantastic game. Definitely going to get this. Great video

[@TheCuriosity8]

I gave this a shot with my creeper world knowledge and had an... interesting time. Something I learned in CW is early land grabs pay off massively, with the starting tanks I was able to stonewall the enemy long enough to start spamming them out, and then equalize, then eco rush. Pink changes this, but I was able to do it on the released map by blocking the pink creep long enough for the green creep to block it off, then I only had to worry about containing the green, which 3-4 light tanks could do with ease at the small choke points. I had more problems with the green on the left hand side, but once I had 8 tanks there I was golden. An issue I have is that the power towers cost gold, ALOT OF GOLD, at 10 each it is just not feasible to build anything not immediately adjacent to your starting base. Add on the power draw of turrets and it's just too expensive to use turrets unless you start rather close to the choke point you want to use them at, and ONLY choke points are viable for use until you are floating 1000 gold. Oh and they turn off whenever you launch a rocket, so you just can't turret until late game. One exception to this is building 1 artillery tower at a choke point to snipe pink towers before they are built while your light tanks hold the line. (if you don't use the pink v green cheese) also, the refinery is useless as it only speeds up mining, not make it more ore efficient, at 300 gold plus the research cost, with only a 50% boost and only able to effect MAX 6 mines, WHILE blocking an ore spot. You are just better off building 3 more mines. Overall though I think its very promising, with the options for many challenging map configs.

[@Arthaius]

- This does look good, and I agree that the vehicle focus types and mineral mechanic definitely need tweaking. I really REALLY didn't like how after the mine was tapped out there was this ring of untouched minerals in a perfect square around the mine, that should be completely changed, there should be an 'area of effect' around the mines, the old way that C&C used to do it with harvesters gathering from the field was actually one of the best mineral gathering methods I have ever seen in a game.

[@NecrosTheDark]

this game screams for "tibrerium harvesters" planting and scuttling those oremines looks fiddely. rest looks ok to me.

[@shizophim]

yes my thoughts exaclty, a mobile mining rig is needed....

[@HidForHG]

Reminds me of the ol Tiberian sun days with harvesting the evil plant for the superweapon.

[@NecrosTheDark]

@@shizophim after playing the demo I understand why they did it like this. It is a lot more like creeper worlds area control. Even when the resources are used up the mine still generates a meager amount of ore. So as long as you have the energy there is no reason to destroy them. Even if not you disable them so you might reenable them later if you have. As long as your defenses hold you cannot lock yourself dead by using up all available resources as there is a minimal ore flow guaranteed. A harvester probably does not fit the game play.

[@grams18]

Yeah would be cool to have one or two refinerys and mobile harvesters that are collecting the ore and bring it back to your base. Of course all of that need proper balancing but it also adds more tension to defend more ore patches that are moe away from the main base.

[@shizophim]

@@NecrosTheDark well thats something nice to know.

[@WallerSon]

Been a while since I watched one of these, immediately grabbed the demo and sunk a few hours into it. With some more units, tech, maps and number tweaks I could easily lose many more hours to it, great start.

[@studiesinflux1304]

12:12 thanks for the mention of actions per minute (APM) in strategy games. Keep ‘em coming, since I also want low APM where you can actually zoom out and observe for a bit. I like Supreme Commander (original and Forged Alliance, not 2) because as long as you agreed to not competitive try-hard and micro-manage air superiority fighters, it can be a slower game that about strategy. Supreme Commander 2 unfortunately broke all that with each unit including the individual tanks and assault bots having abilities that needed to be triggered, turning it into actions per minute fest.

[@rokinz3270]

Being happier without social media mate its real, had my cell phone die on me and was phoneless for a week. Was the happiest I had been in a long time

[@zackdines]

I used to think I went on social media to entertain myself. Then I started noticing that every time I used it, I actually just killed time while becoming angry.

[@ThorSparks]

Looks awesome. My only issue, and it's the issue I have with many of your videos... The full game isn't out yet! :P

[@Runeclaw]

Playing the demo of it right now. Just put it on pause and Alt-Tab for a while and now I see a video of it. Nice, might get some hints on how to build a working base...

[@NimbleBard48]

Oh. It has a demo! Installing today.

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

First suggestion: Actually read the in-game hint that it would be easier to start in the lower right of the map and 'more challenging' to start with your base in the centre. But this is Splattercat, so of course he didn't see/read that. 😅

[@celestirr]

@@DrBunnyMedicinal I disagree. It's far easier to start in the center and hem in the pink spread to let the green spread block it in naturally so that you don't have to deal with it until you're ready for an offensive. If you sit in the bottom corner then it will grow down to meet you with the other two and hassle you for the whole game.

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

@@celestirr Well, if you've played the game, then I'd agree with you. I haven't/can't, I was just pointing out what advice the game gives you itself.

[@drakcoreoriginal]

A good start to a game, but will need a lot more added before release. On the test map, you can take the first 4 tanks given to you, race off to the first pink, kill the node right off the bat. Walls are pointless, just have a few turrets. Small tanks are out right the only tank you need, just build 20 and slowly push to the other two nodes and bam, you wipe them out. ATM, you can't build anywhere else besides connected to your base by stringing power poles, can't just place solar panels and power mines or defenses independently.

[@HidForHG]

I feel like it needs a 'slow mode' for the weapons when unpowered and full functionality when powered. I noticed that the walls seem more blocking than useful ALSO if they add cumulative hp for the walls so adding turrets doesn't make them a pain in the butt micro bs. So turrets with wall behind them, though they honestly need the option to turn wall sections INTO turrets too. Now if they add say hives or something that produce units as weaker but more frequent units to fight then the higher units YOU can make would have worth. Also the mines seem SO overpriced when the ore can be massively LESS than the price of it.

[@BrandanLee]

This one looks like it has a lot of good potential, especially if they build on competing corporations/factions also, and some mobile units in the calyx too. Some flame throwers, I'd totally redo the resource system to be discrete nodes that are mined SCV style with units instead of big buildings, and have building be dropped in from orbit visually instead of fade in. Otherwise, it's dope.

[@grams18]

Or been build by drones or something like that istead of just blending it in out of nothing. Introducing other competing corporations/fractions would also be a nice idea maybe even make them enemys for the player too or that you can choose/unlock other fractions later on that might have other special buildings/units what other fractions don´t have. Also could imagine that you could unlock the native alien species where you have to attack and eliminate the corporations as some fun missions.

[@Hellhunde64]

I played the demo and got owned =) A good review with some on point conclusions about how to make the game better. Balance is the key. If you run out of resources you are done.

[@williamcarson1719]

Looks great. Dune 2000 plus Creeper with a good sound track on top.

[@shoxdanger]

your line of sight of the turrets are blocked by the walls place them on the wall or infront

[@CowCommando]

For anyone who hasn't heard of Creeper World since it was a flash game, there are currently several Creeper World Titles available on Steam including Creeper World Ixe which just recently released.

[@fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

Hopefully they'll take advantage of the opportunity to mention 'daisy cutters'; given that they've already got a game with both artillery and xenoplants.

[@cjanquart]

Heh funny bit was there was a program I used way back when I was in mortgage lending called Calyx/Point. Also completely agree with you regarding social media; a bunch of negativity and disconnecting from it occasionally is a good thing for me.

[@eightchickens]

This is frustrating to see the creeps creep so fast and the base running out of -minerals- everything. It's like fighting a losing battle. Shouldn't there be a flamethrower tank or something that permanently prevent the creeps from creeping?

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

Think about it as a creeping vine, you don't attack its front, you set in your push at the narrow and weaker points. Then you drop in your static beachhead, rinse and repeat. Aggressive expansion with high risk.

[@TitoRigatoni]

The key is the patch must remain connected to its seed to survive. If you can cut an area off from its core, the entire area will die.

[@ImBoredToo]

Having to constantly move the resource buildings looks really bad. There should be some little drone or something that cleans up the surrounding deposit

[@TitoRigatoni]

The key is to build a grid of miners adjacent to each other covering the entire patch rather than just placing one in the center of the patch.

[@grams18]

Needs to be adjusted so that it have a wider range or set patches that will always be cleaned completely. Maybe they could make the drills upgradeable for wider range or you can make them better via research later on. Another option would be for the devs to change these completely or introduce another method where you one or two refinerys and a bunch odf mobile harvesters wich collect the ore (Command and Conquer style). ^^

[@MeeseManyMoose]

I'm 6 minutes in and already sold. I love RTS, I love horde/wave defense and I love turtling.

[@muuuuuud]

Havent been on most social medias for about 10 years, one of the best decision of my life. :)

[@grams18]

Very interesting concept that is clearly inspired by creeper world to some degree. It holds a lot of potential to become even better and more challenging. The devs could work more on these native alien seeds that grow roots and turrets so for later maps they could introduce other variants of them that could even generate enemy units over time that will actively attack your base or that they can grow other types of turrets. It would also be possible to let these seeds evolve over time so that they became even stronger and a bigger thread for you or that they have more abilitys like generate enemy units and stuff. In this demo your objective is to actively destroy the seeds + some optional goals to win the actual map but I could imagine that there could also be some sort of "survival" missions where you impossible can´t destroy some seeds and the creep but you have to last a certain time and have to collect x amount of ore etc. and than leave before you get overrun in the long run. xD That´s where the "turteling" makes even more sense cuz you have prioritize on building strong defense to last as long as possible. All of that´s clearly more balancing like Splat already said and even grow and spread rate of the seeds could vary and have to be balanced depending on what the seed´s abilitys.

[@samadams2203]

Oh this looks good! I always liked the creeping expansion of TaB, but hated early game where one zombie can end your game by touching a tent.

[@akocbibbo]

definitely buying this when it comes out!

[@CashedoutLookingup]

"creeper world" why that's a name I haven't heard in...*looks at Creeper World 3 Arc Eternal on desktop* oh yeah, it's more addicting than I was expecting that's for sure.

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

What about Creeper World IXE? Perhaps worth a look?

[@TheSpoonyCroy]

@@kholdanstaalstorm6881 Its a strange one since it sort of mixes creeper world with their emergenent fleet game. Unit caps are part of the mix now. So its a great experiment but some would say it missed the mark. If you like a game similar to the IXE game, you could try the fleet game or you could play Creeper world 2, which also does the vertical style of play that IXE was mirroring

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

@TheSpoonyCroy Yes, I've got them all. Hooked since the OG Creeper World. This game rewards an aggressive play style, even more than the Creeper World series ever have. Here, you can cut off large swatches of enemy coverage by being aggressive and focusing the bulk of your forces on a weak point and fill in with your static defenses. In Creeper World, you still had to deal with the enemy flood that you cut off from their supply.

[@Ash2Flame116]

This looks like it will be amazing. The way your comments are going I’m gonna have to check creeper world too

[@dahn57]

Creeper World games are superb. There are a number of them at present, with the dev making a new one right now. I'd say that Creeper World 3 is probably the best that he's made so far (Yes, it's a single developer making everything) Each game takes things in a slightly different direction, and contrary to what Splat says, this game is not that much graphically superior. I'd say that Creeper World, with it's depth variations, liquid creep flow and even tides makes Creeper World the superior game. 😉

[@Thepher6]

This is a success just waiting for completion!

[@ChainsWorld1]

Like and comment for the algorithm. Greetings from your number one fan from Germany.

The resource limitation is rough. Was able to get to building an artillery but it was already to late. Was running dry on resources and didn't have enough to push to more.

[@Bvoid-b]

looks interesting, I'll check it out

[@ninino86]

This has the feeling of They are Billlions, which is a compliment. Still play that from time to time and still wish it could have gotten more content.

[@dahn57]

Check out the Creeper World games if you like this style. The Creep is more of a liquid invader in that, following flow lines and even has tides of a kind in some levels. And there is a number of those games made by a single dev, and he's bringing out a new game right now too

[@MrKingglenn]

very interesting game. Looks fairly simple enough to push back the creep and control terrain depending on the resources available. I wonder if there is a difference between the types of creep other than the obvious pink one having its own turrets of sorts (speed of growth, damage resistance, etc.). I would use my artillery to clear a zone, push out with the rest of the squad and force it into submission. Kinda wonder if its possible to destroy the creep all together. Does feel like it would take a bit of micro-management though.

[@TestinDaCable]

looks pretty sweet man

[@christiansaintw]

Getting huge Dune 2000 vibes. This looks like an awesome concept and execution. UI needs some polishing and advancement so it looks better and less "basic" and this would be a great time killer.

[@walterroche8192]

This looks like something to follow! I wonder how hard adapting to would be to other games as a concept MOD...

[@eightchickens]

19:39 the AI needs to be improved: the tank getting hit by enemy turret and not "realizing" it is a big problem (causing too much micro). 27:21 Ah ha, the artillery is the key unit to clear enemy turret and chonky trunks. Wish you'd known this at the start, eh?

[@darth0tator]

I think it was also a line of sight issue. The tank just could't shoot back. Don't know if it would automatically do so, though :D

[@SirQuantization]

TOO MUCH MICRO LOL

[@SirQuantization]

Go play idle games if THAT is too much micro my dude, holy heck

[@kingp1n817]

Those artillery tanks still started hitting on small plants instead of trunks when they were left idle. The enemy targeting is definitely flawed.

[@billylionisnotagoat]

ok this game looks mad fun!!!

To the wishlist with you !

[@Reoh0z]

I too noticed how much happier I am without social media.

[@ApocGuy]

one word: ARTILLERY ;). no way if winning without that piece of destruction :) . another good strategy is to utilize arties and cut branches as far as possible, clearing path for smaller units driving vines and trunks even further back.

[@m4c0br]

That definitely scratches the Creeper World itch I have.

[@ATZag135]

ThankYou SirSpla77!

[@fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

I think it's a good sign that what really bugs me is a few parameters that might be personal preferences, rather than more systemic issues or a vague sense of "eh, why?"; but there are a few things that tweak my irrational irritation buttons that I hope they change: Mines should really be able to grab ore at least 1 tile beyond their direct footprint; ideally further than that(perhaps with reduced extraction speed toward the edges of their radius). Trying to extract the ore without leaving little strips and spots has me screaming inside like a suburban landscaping enthusiast with an unevenly mown lawn. Pylon/electricity ranges feel really tight. Make pylons more expensive if electrical coverage being a costly decision that forces you to think about how many tiles you can get away with; but please don't force me to build them so close together that apparently power lines are made of wet noodles in the space-corpo future. As noted; seems like a good sign when your problems are likely related to literally a handful of numbers in a config file, so do not read this comment as particularly negative; it's just a weird situation where some of the trivially changeable values they've gone with are ones that drive me nuts to an irrational degree. I could also go for a little extra range: no need to change relative ranges for things like tanks vs. spitter worms; just a modest bump to everyone's absolute range so that it doesn't look like everyone is shooting just beyond their own feet. Again, possibly just my particular mixture of loose and/or overtightened screws; and almost definitely a handful of values in some config/definition files; but has me slightly screaming inwardly.

[@TheYear2525]

Mentions Creeper World steals show in the comments But to be fair, Calyx does indeed look like serious "Creeper Like" business. And that is good. The way the Calyx "evolves" is pretty cool, too.

[@fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

About the ore sale/rocket system; was it Dark Reign where you did that with water? Some RTS that I'm dating myself by even knowing about had the same gather-resource-to-ship-off mechanism; and I think it was Dark Reign; but I'm not 100% sure I'm remembering right.

[@AdroitConceptions]

yes, Dark Reign had water for money

[@maanvis81]

Oh man I love the creeper world games :). it looks like the pink calyx is also very different than the green calyx?

[@ivanshiek]

I think a Substation is a satellite outpost for powering electricity pylons.

[@Bizarny]

No flamethrower turrets / vehicles? Isn't flamethrower like THE weapon of choice to fight any biological enemy?

[@Ambelghan]

Game needs a redesign where all of its base units are effectively mobile crawlers. That would make more sense given with the actual threat is, lower wise. Large slow walkers, that are too slow to move away from the creep on their own.

[@emikochan13]

holy shit creeper world is my favourite game :D

[@Sacramentoidioto]

Hm, I might want to test this one out!

One thing i do at the start is send my 4 tanks to the purple Calyx and destroy it so i dont have to deal with it's ranged attacks. All of them are vulnerable at the start but you wont be able to kill all of them if you try to rush them.
