I'll say this one is... medium difficulty with a tough ending.

Building Experiment 20 is likely a must. I couldn't do it without that beast.

[Sorrontis]

Sickle_Moon ... how? I was thinking omni rush to the progenitor, but I couldn't do it.

You could make the mine at the center to give at least 1 energy, because all guppies on Exp.20 flock to it and float around not collecting anything.

[Sorrontis]

They should be collecting energy. All mines have access to all energy. Unless there's been an update.

[strigvir]

Doesn't look like collecting to me.

[Sorrontis]

Maybe it's due to a bug fix that V did in the beta? Shoot.... you can destroy it and not rebuild it and they'll (guppes) travel further...
Send me your save file?

I am not running any betas btw. I do recall reading something about guppies not interacting well with either 0 energy mines or mines with 0 coverage.
EDIT: Yep, it's no-range mines, since guppies refueled just fine from 0 energy mines at the end.

Okay, that's probably why. I'm running a beta. I'll test it this weekend.

Versioning aside, I took this at a lazy pace. Omnis are fun to use as the "heroes" for most of it.

Sorrontis, one port is irritating at the beginning. Also, the entire right-hand could be taken with the two capital ships and the lathe-craft. And I only brought in the non-power-supply supercapital to bother the opposing ships.

Also, the "gather forces from uncontested blueprints" is something to only do once - with initial Omnis, it might be possible to hold the right, making for an interesting strategic situation (as it's not possible to rush that Progenitor).
