I'm expending resources at an alarming rate.

The solution: grab huge tracts of land and expand my production. This isn't over until this entire planet surface looks like a circuit board.

How do you prevent new bases from spawining behind your wall?

thay can not.

the Biter's that mack the can not get there because walls/Laser turret kill them .

I believe the sensors inhibit new spawners

New bitter bases do not spawn from nothing. A few bitters from one base will travel out and 'settle' a new base in an open area every so often. If your entire base is contained in walls, they cannot get in to settle.

You sure about that?
Cause I had once suddenly a pack of Worms inside my perimeter wall.... was quite a suprise i tell ya

Very impressive.

Also, I assume worms can tunnel underground to any location on the map. I don't know, however.

No, they have to walk. Also they don't settle too near to your buildings and only in a thin stripe around existing biter bases (3 chunks min distance, 6 chunks max distance, something like that)

Very Roman of you. I think Hadrian would be proud.

thought an update was appropriate.

So beautiful.... *drools*

Do you have any pictures of the various sections of it? It's so big, I want to see what all it has!

That is some serious pollution!
You should put effectivity modules in everything, and the biters will never bother you again.

Also I've had games where I've surrounded huge areas with walls and bases have never popped up in them once I've cleared the whole area.

Here's a closeup of the main assembly

they never bother me

also, I'm mass producing speed and productivity modules. I'm saving 30% from mining, 20% from smelting, 40% from each component in resources, and it adds up. Signal transmitter's effects can stack, and I'm abusing this to make some oil wells run at >400% speed.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look at my works, ye mighty, and despair!

I think you can save around 1/3 of your poles


How does your 1h chart of power looks like?

You seem to really like pollution >.>
Seems like you use tons of Steam engines But little to none Solar power, Or is it just tons of hours playing and the Little amount of steam engines/trains and other small stuff making the pollution

Other then that.. cool base. such nice defenses good luck surviving more

Little to no solar power? Have you checked this post by nosfereefer? That's a lot of solar power! However, sometimes "a lot" is not even close to "enough".

I'm running into brownouts atm, so i guess I'll be slapping solar panels + accumulators down en masse
