Do not hesitate to destroy collectors to make more space for reactors in the long run.Ĭombatting Creeper1.
Be careful when your mortars stop shooting, though, you might not see the flood coming through before it is too late.ĥ. You can always afford to do so when your mortars are fully charged. Disable Resupply to speed up building reactors, when you can afford to do so. I found that it takes around 3.5-3.8 energy to build two reactors in parallel at maximum speed.Ĥ. Switch to reactors when there are no more spots available with good collection area that will not fall in the next 30 seconds.ģ. Collectors pay for themselves very quickly (if I've done my tests right, around 20-30 seconds, depending on the area they cover), so it often makes sense to put down collectors even in areas that you do not plan to hold. Letting your energy production go to waste with 25 in storage is a waste of time as well, of course.Ģ. Same goes for collectors at the very start, so don't waste time here. Building two reactors in parallel that don't build at maximum speed takes longer than finishing one first, then immediately building the second one. When expanding your energy production (building collectors and reactors), build your buildings one by one. Build one by one unless you have an overproduction of energy. Balance your energy and do not build too much in parallel.
This should go without saying when talking about hard maps.ġ.
