Hi guys!
First of all, sorry for my bad english. English is not my native language.

Guys, I have a problem with nests on my MP save. My problem is, the nests are HUGE, and when i say HUGE I mean HUGE.
I can't even get closer to call a fight.`

Is there any strategy to fight big nests?
Since I cant get closer to the nests, i cant get the Alien purple stuff for research.

Halp =(

Don't worry about purple science yet - your first artifacts should be used to craft power armor, fusion reactor, exoskeleton, and energy shield Mk2.

You have two options:
1. Mass distractor capsules (at least 100 - start an assembly line)
2. Mass laser turrets (at least 50). You also need a bank of accumulators to power them.

Or use distractors to distract the biters while you set up mass lasers!

Just tryied a rush with 200 distractors and went vey well. Never tryied before.
Still cant advance too much, i will try do to what you suggested, using turrets with distractors. Thanks!!
