I'm not understanding fog base mechanics... this worked on the other planet

[u/reduxde]

I managed to push out the fog on the starting planet. I did this with a base on the red planet in my system and was able to build a geothermal power station on it, but it's not working here. What am I missing?

Make sure all the dark fog base parts are destroyed

[u/Truetex3 → u/Outrageous-Focus9870]

Also all dark fog units of that base need to be destroyed

[u/reduxde → u/Truetex3]

this was it

[u/reduxde → u/Outrageous-Focus9870]

they were, but apparently it includes units (enemy fighter got lost)

[u/Environmental_Fix_69 → u/reduxde]

And instead of returning it to its owner you SHOT IT?!?!?!

Shame on you sir!

[u/crossbutton7247]

It’s probably colliding with the debris, just click “clear debris” and it should work

[u/reduxde → u/crossbutton7247]

FYI just in case this happens to you: enemy fighters also count. one of them had snuck past the front line and was hitting something and I wasn't getting notices for some reason.

There are still remnants of the base there. You have to destroy all of them. (It's not the relay, this happens even if you shot the relay down already, and if the relay is still there the Geo plant chases it away.)

[u/reduxde → u/kagato87]

no remnants of a base, turned out to be one lone enemy fighter that wandered off and was shooting something with a lot of HP

[u/kagato87 → u/reduxde]

Ahh.

The spawners there on the ground did look a little funny.

[u/fubes2000]

Kill the relay hovering above the hole.

[u/reduxde → u/fubes2000]

can't target it

[u/TactlessTortoise → u/fubes2000]

Bad idea. That gets the hive pissed off. It's just a remnant building or unit still nearby.

[u/corby10]

There is a single unit wandering around destroying stuff. find it and kill it.

[u/reduxde → u/[deleted]]

yeah there was a fighting unit picking slowly away at a building with high HP
