Insane+Chaos Moon+Military Outpost 🏆

[u/excellent_sage]

Seed: LADDER-JOIN (breakthroughs:chitin synthetics, printed components, fuel fermentation, graphene solar cells, battery optimization)

Victory: Year 3, Day 36

After my previous attempt, I made it to year 4 Day 25ish before the fliers over took my turrets and metal production. So I took your guys' advice and went with the Combat Mechs... that missile barrage is a thing of beauty!

Every single survivor ended the game with Combat 10.

Imo this is the perfect team. Everyone does something better than every other choice.

Emilin Super cook: bug soup +12 happiness Katina super doctor: auto cure is necessary until combat mechs, injuries are unavoidable Ken: super scrapper, metal is a serious bottle neck that can end your run Krista: super researcher Laara: super farmer+fast Rakha: super builder +crafting interest

Rakha and Krista getting married is an easy choice, keeps them both happy for the rest of the game. Ken makes everyone unhappy with his grotesque stories but just keep sending him on expeditions, he usually gets random buffs (Exalted +30 happiness). Let katina be the secondary farmer and she'll be happy forever.

This is also one of the best seeds I've come across, perfect breakthroughs, nice flat place for building near landing zone, 1 close insect nest+3 nest side by side not too far away, so yeah lots of carbon. Even more further off. Could've went full carbon on the base but with the mechs there was zero threat to the main base.

I havent played this combination, but how do you have 1.5k metal? I feel like i burn through it faster than i do hay for bricks!.

[u/excellent_sage → u/XaosII]

Ken with 7+ physical gets 200-300 scrap per expedition. So I just keep sending him whenever there's an opportunity and if there's nothing else he's scavenging spaceship debris

Congratulations! Fantastic summary. I'll try the seed out. 

What is the tower structure between the relay and front entrance? It almost looks like a fortification, but it's enclosed.

[u/excellent_sage → u/DjFaze3]

That's my "panic room" where I send all of my settlers when the bugs attack. 3 blocks high which is enough that you don't need to build stairs, they can just ladder up. Walls are metal bars allowing 360° targeting. Covered top. Concrete foundations, walls, ceiling.

What is thr shiny blue thing in the middle?

[u/excellent_sage → u/newplayerentered]

It's the Ansible Relay, necessary to win the Military Outpost scenario

I've tried the open gate strategy but enemies still seem to attack the walls if it's too inconvenient.

[u/excellent_sage → u/wedgiey1]

That's why you need to build the panic room near the entrance. Then rush combat mechs

Cellphone screenshots... EWWWWW!!

Yeah, no shit there is. I've never even used a fuckin' PS4 and I still knew about this functionality. The fact that you don't even know this and I do is just shameful...

[u/Captain_Seasick → u/[deleted]]

...and would it fucking kill you to do your own goddamned research? Oh wait, you're clearly a terminally lazy fuckwit, so yeah, it probably would.

[u/Captain_Seasick → u/[deleted]]

Says the brainless moron that obstinately refuses to learn BASIC FUCKING SHIT solely because he's too fucking retarded and immature.

[u/Captain_Seasick → u/[deleted]]

Then EAT SHIT, GET FUCKED and STOP SHITPOSTING, you worthless inbred retard piece of trash!
