I never realized how much power I was throwing away on Aquilo

Power generation resolves its own heating without issue, but something like platform production can dump excess fuel into heat generation for heat's sake. I never bothered to hook up exchangers, water generation, and turbines. But HOLY man, there are literal gigawatts of untapped power here. This little setup could be done 9 more times if I'm understanding things correctly.

Probably don't need to go through all of that with fusion around the corner but at least I don't even need to import fuel cells anymore!

Gleba Defense Trick

Decoy Turret

The Strafers are the real enemy. The big pentapods get zapped easily to even a basic tesla turret wall, but their long legged brothers get to shoot their shot before then. Since they can cluster together, there is basically an unlimited amount of guaranteed damage they can deal with their projectiles.

The solution? An easily replaced gun turret placed out in front to soak all of those unpreventable bullets. The Strafers blow their load on the first military target they see. Afterwards, they stray too close to the tesla wall and die.

This is a cheap alternative that avoids the occasional tesla turret replacement. My teslas haven't been touched my whole playthrough so far.

Is there a better solution? For sure, a legendary tesla wall outranges the Strafers. I'm not there again just yet though.

Cyac has the best color scheme. All of their skins are perfect.
