... worms one shot me. I am making steel to craft the second level armor, will that be enough with an assault rifle and piercing ammo? the fast enemy respawn will kill me if I survive the bloody worms.

Laser turrets have a longer range than small worms. For medium and big worms you can place turrets in range and then pick them up after a few shots. Picking up turrets to instantly heal them is cheesy, but you're short of resources.

Put your first grouping of turret a bit out of biter attack range. Then have the biters attack you and run/drive circles around your turrets. The biters will ignore the turrets shooting at them and focus on you. Place more turrets and repeat until you can edge your way up to where your turrets can ...

Using laser turrets to beat enemy base is probably the easiest way, but to be honest we don't like it very much. I don't like it either. I mean this kind of attack should have in far, far future an alternative. But currently there are just too much ways to get into a dead end - especially with low ...

Use the combat shootgun with piercing munition. Some upgrades and this weapons tears even big worms down. But you need some modular armor for it: portable fusion generator with ca. 5 mobile mk II shields. Firstly concentrate on the spawner: Get in, a few shoots for a spawner, and retreat back to reg...

I believe that the rocket launcher should have slightly bigger range, to be able to kill medium worms without getting in their range.

... even get close to the spawners before I end up dead. I will try some different strategies but it really does seem like the issue might be with the respawns and the worms for me. I will keep trying though, it sounds like perhaps I probably shouldn't be having that much trouble but am for some reason. ...

There are several hints I can give you. The most important probably is, that if you played for 24 hours without researching any military to be able to expand, you made strategic mistake, and the game punished you for that. Using laser turrets to beat enemy base is probably the easiest way, but to be...

... I've gotta say it isn't working. Basically they start running towards you before you can get close enough and literally the pack that you pulled respawns within about 2-5 seconds of you pulling them which then pulls them again rinse & repeat until you are dead. I burned through 100kJ of reserve ...

Exactly as my problems. I'm in a state of game, where they builded "cities". One is directly near copper, I need it. Their city is about 100 tiles. I tried the laser tower strategy. They run over a battery of 70 level 3 lasers. :shock: I tried that once more with more walls, but that time ...

The safest way, advance towards the spawner using walls and laser turrets. I usually use 20 (but 5 can be effective) and enough walls to wrap around the turret. And make sure that you have the best armor (it stacks to 10 btw, until the modular armor) and a stack of fish :) You can try a car, but if...

... with the aliens and alien bases. They are simply too powerful and I cannot figure out a proper way to assault them. The biters actually seem to respawn within seconds of luring them away. I was going to try a hit and run tactic with my rockets to take down the spawner. Was going well except ...

... not sure how much this may change combat for people but I'm working on two mods, one that will introduce cloning (you build cloning-tank, die, respawn at cloning tank with some remains, and your items, back where you died so you can retrieve them) and the other is a mind control beacon (place ...

... be compatible with all ores added by other mods or in the future). Cloning - 1.4 - adds the ability to build cloning tanks, when you die you will respawn to the first placed cloning tank, cloning tanks require maintenance to continue running (power + liquid dna if it exists) and produce waste ...

I was using slowdown capsules to dont get stuck in them, running to the base and kamikaze with the flamethrower next to a spawner.

Got 30 ran out of player ports (I was burning them with the flamethrower when respawning) and died
