INCOMING TRANSMISSION: Mayday, mayday! Need immediate assistance! We're stranded on planet Alpha-Centari 9852Y surrounded by creeper! We have no supplies left and only a single artillery bertha remaining. There's a research station and some supplies near but we need help getting them! If you receive this message, send help immediately! With a surplus of resources available, can you help them make the great escape? Challenges: 1 - Don't use the forge. 2 - If you do, don't use more than 1000 aether.
Bug:
There's a CN and other tech on the map--but if you fly the starting CN over to collect it you can't fly it back home--the top left square is not valid for some reason I can't see.
Spoiler
If you delete the SE guppy you can put relay there that will reach to a PZ relay on the mainland--this lets you get to the stores even after moving the CN off.
i cant do this, i get over run with creeper trying the spoiler. please help ty
The short answer is to begin with the standard form, but assault that area first. Then when you have a PZ, use it for a Relay to the stores. You can then import your CN.
The limiting factor here is largely (strategy dependent) the time to build weapons or deliver packets.
