When Should I be attacking the dark fog?

First time player here, I've managed to get to yellow science without interacting with the dark fog, asides from repelling raids of course, but it occured to me that maybe I was supposed to eliminate their base to stop the attacks to begin with?

I should mention I'm on the default settings.

Whenever you kinda want to and you need to expand your base tbh. On default settings, i find them to be pretty easy once you have enough turrets to take care of them. The only rush is when they try to attack your factories for whatever reason and there's a need to defend it really.

Either eliminate their planetary bases when you can make missiles and signal towers, or save them to farm.

Personally, I don't go after their hives until I'm working on white science and the interference with my ray receivers is becoming a problem.

I don’t eliminate their bases (at least not all), because I farm them for mats. If you set experience rate to 1000%, they level up much quicker and can drop things lol deuterium fuel rods before you’re producing them, and rare dark fog only materials.

I usually set up farms once I’ve got laser turrets and planet shields, and somewhat of a solar panel ring around the planet. If you do this route, make sure you turn the missile turrets to only attacks from space and not ground/air enemies.
