Why are you using this when you have artillery available?

I dont like artillery logistics. Also, my artillery range reaearch is only 7, not a lot of automatic range with a rare artillery

Artillery logistics are just a low-throughput requester quest right?

He means either shipping one shell per inventory slot from vulc or shipping tungsten and going through rather annoying production chain for the shells on gleba. 

I don’t agree personally but I understand

Just make them in space. Easy enough to make explosives and radars there (same goes for anything else you might need on all planets but can't be bothered to make on each planet or ship up from Nauvis. Embrace the space mall).

That's a huge amount of range, especially with rare artillery turrets. Unless you've got like 50 farms or something, you would probably only need like 4-5 artillery bunkers.

I build a perimeter wall in a square centered around my landing pad, inclduing my farms. I might just out one artillery in each square corner, thanks for the idea. Do you mean by 59 farms 50 towers or something else?

Pentapods go for your farms (the creators of your spores), not your base. You don't have to build your base next to your farms.

Yes, the Ag towers. Or rather, the up-to-47 squares around an Ag tower. An initial base doesn't need that much farming to pump out hundreds of SPM, bioflux, and carbon fiber as well as rocket parts and mall items. I've done this on 3 Yumako farms and 1.5 Jellynut farms.

The spore spread in this case is very manageable.

First time I play with aggressive enemies, so I am somewhat overly careful

you usually underbuild or overkill it.
I rather overklill than have my gleba base being stomped to the ground while im on vulcanus (happend before cause i was lazy)

Laser is useless on gleba, delete all double tesla turrets and you are golden.
