Best way to destroy a base, build a bunch of missile launchers on the other side of the planet, head to the base, smack down a signal tower. Remote missiles go brrrr.

[@Orselonn]

BEST FUCKING WAY TO DESTROY THAT SHIT! one tower and brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr LUL

[@onichan13ryba]

you just spam 100 granades into them

[@JessiBlessinger]

i use explosive units because they hurt more

[@ThePiachu]

One thing I found really helpful for taking out the ground bases - Supernova. When you have turrets in range of the enemy base, just hit that big round button, charge up and unleash a devastating volley of bullets! It's really useful for early game (and gets you an achievement!).

[@alistair9337]

Just started another game as I felt the combat was lacking. Set the difficulty to aggressive and growth factors to 200%, its a much better experience, they actually attack more frequently and in numbers and actually feel like a challenge.

[@Cloakdasasin0]

Real chads cannon rush instead of abusing infinite rocket range. I love it

[@musizlover2008]

I read somewhere that the devs are planning to improve the space combat in the game.

[@JDPlays]

Yes, Dark fog part 2 update will be in the future some time

[@Peter-vn5jq]

Dude, this is their first attempt at combat, of course they're going to keep improving it, lmao! Honestly, I'm surprised its as good as it is already, on the first try. That dev team is something else, honestly

[@TheRojo387]

​@@JDPlays To talk to the devs so they will best understand you, learn to read and write Simplified Chinese. I personally prefer Traditional Chinese, thanks to the legacy of Mr Mao, but this case digresses quite a bit.

[@JDPlays]

@@TheRojo387I have enough problems just reading and writing English, let alone chinese!

[@tonyc196]

Great video of early gamer tactics. Thank you.

[@Lannistir]

basically any turret, like 4, just out of aggro range so their turrets dont shoot yours. then use basic sheel set in icarus. you can stand a bit around the planet to block line of sight, tilt camera up and still shoot them. turrets take care of anything coming for you. easy peasy

[@JessiBlessinger]

i would say the jump from red to yellow matrix is the biggest because without interstellar logistics you have to hand make the first 200 yellow

[@MasterOfYoda]

I wish I knew the signal tower method before I wrapped all of several star systems planets in equatorial and polar tower arrays set to shoot high air relays. On the upside - I now have not just battle worlds but battle star systems now.

[@simdimdim]

you could build a box on top of a splitter to have a fully saturated belt instead, save some power by the way

[@theresaironside9998]

Thank you I was founding dificult to keep up with the soil pail demand

[@Xcal131]

you can also super charge your own gun turrets if you click on it then hit "supernova"

[@InnerFire6213]

I’ve been slacking too much lol im at yellow science now and never even dealt with the first local dark fog base. Didn’t know the missiles could shoot globally. I’m gonna amass them now

[@insertmoneyhere]

the plantery bases are weak.. try the space ones. its more fun

[@michelguenette8998]

When I was watching your live stream, someone (or the game description) pointed out that there is a limit to the number of a building that can be constructed on a planet. I think that the number is 80. I cannot remember which building it is. Could it have been the shields and we were waiting for the optimal layout for the planet, based on its coordinate system? You did not go into much detail about power requirements. Obviously, you want to have enough power to keep everything running. How much redundancy should be designed into the system to prevent a loss of distributed power? Would it be better to have more power poles between your turrets, so that it takes at least two breaks in the same area to cause a disconnect? On planets where you do not have restrictions due to surface water, is there any point to try to encircle the affected region, instead of relying on a dozen or so guns firing on the base, using the Trident method? For the missile turrets around the poles, is there a 'sweet spot' that gives an optimal ring and a sufficient overlap region between both hemispheres? I want withering firepower with a short reload delay. Might two incomplete rings (or arcs) at different latitudes be better? What would happen if one of the pole regions is occupied? Can the missiles at the other pole reach or would you need something along the equator then? There will be a few competing strategies developing for this portion of the game.

[@brianmagnusson7498]

All I Gotta say, is that SWEET. And thank you for that good job.

[@KungFuShadow]

Been trying to fight off the one settlement on my first planet with jsut alot of rockets and guns , but you take so much damage i have to retreat and itś basically wasted resources, going to try the old and tried factorio turret creep that seems legit, also those signal tower sseem pretty OP :P Looking at the size of this thing, it;s probably grown quite alot, I'll have the signal tower unlocke dsoon, so I'll be preparing missile turrets and pre-plant ammo to get it job done :P

[@Xelnarash]

aahhh i thank you so much

[@urstaxfetish1206]

I like farming and growing my dark fog friends :)

[@treasurewuji8740]

They drop great energy shard

[@teydam_2020]

big thanks

[@simonchesterman7616]

Is that Icarus or Bumblebee after he gets combat dressed?

[@JDPlays]

Bumblebee, I want save the other combat skins for later

[@SirDistic]

Creep your turrets near their base. Basically if you can find a copper node near their base, start mining and turning that into bullets. Build about 5 turrets just out of range of their base. Feed them from a belt setup. So now you have a perimeter. Build a couple of missile turrets and feed them. Keep moving in closer so that your turrets always shoot the spawns. Eventually you will get close enough to get your missile turrets close enough to safely shoot their base. Eventually you'll take out their base. Then line everything near the base so whenever it respawns it just gets destroyed. Now you can do anything safely all the time.

[@UncleKennybobs]

You made such a simple thing look incredibly difficult.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! is it me? or he has a bumbelbee skin on?!!??! OMGGGG!!! I WANT IT! plse, someone help me find it! plse

WIIILLL DOOOOO@@JDPlays

[@mariabalan6129]

Don’t look like in very difficulty mode

[@Darkendragon]

so you showed us how to turret creep, then you showed us how to attack with missiles, but then you went back to turret creeping when you have a higher level enemy base...... why not just make a signal tower to destroy the base along with turret creeping. turrets to protect the signal tower while the signal tower commands missiles to destroy the base. especially since you can control the missiles priority targeting. set it to ground as highest priority and turrets to low air as highest priority. would have saved a lot more materials without your buildings getting destroyed. and be much faster....

[@AbsoluteHuman]

Proof of concept... Still interesting to see tested. Also, the floating drones still count as ground, so I think you can't attack buildings exclusively.

[@JDPlays]

on Death world settings the relays and bases can start as high as level 10, good luck getting missiles up and running AND also silicon from off world for a relay tower before they hit level 14+ and there are a lot of units considered 'ground' in fact not many are considered 'air' units at all, so setting the missile launchers to ground isn't going to help you much. The Trident method took out a level 14 base whilst Icarus stayed mostly safely away from the front lines

[@Darkendragon]

​@@JDPlays well if thats the case, you might wanna mention that in your video, you never mentioned it was on a dearth world. you only mentioned it was a higher level base. and if this was your intention, I would suggest your structure you videos to be more clear. would have been better to show the tower creeping, then show how that method still works with higher level bases, then show the missiles. as a way to show progression.

[@funveeable]

You can never defeat the Fog conpletely. The core is indestructible and regrows the hive over time and then the hive sends landers to your planets. Each time the hive is destroyed, it gets more EXP and becomes more deadly.

[@pikpikgamer1012]

Are you sure because I managed to destroy the hive core (even if I use creative mode for free resources)

[@disparatemedia]

You are wrong. The core can be destroyed. You can either cap it with foundations or plant a core heat power plant on it, gone, never respawns.

[@infinitianchannel6327]

​​​​@@disparatemedia he meant the dark fog hive core (the dark fog in space) Also you indeed CAN destroy the dark fog space hive

[@JDPlays]

The Dark fog Hive can't be destroyed but it can be mitigated completely from my testing.

[@Catashe123]

@@JDPlays oh they definitely need to come on and let you destroy the hives in space... cause after awhile you need tried of the dark fog and want your home system to be secure... and theres always more dark fog out there when you expand =\
