After green toxic waste infects your ship, you get warped into the realm of green. Green is everything, You will need very heavy weapons to convince the creeper they won't defeat you. Blasters and mortars only tickle the creeper a bit. Good thing you have a lot of time to prepare (and a THOR)
Hint: notice how there is a lot of creeper? You should get rid of it, but only as soon as you are actually able to. Building your defences too early will result in not having the power to shoot, while building them too late... well, there will be no place left if you are too late.
Beginning it was surprisingly easy. Ending it... uh, I still haven't managed to win, I've covered the whole map in reactors and collectors, I've squeezed in like fifteen berthas and I'm barely running an energy surplus, and it still isn't enough to get through that last little corner, help? Tried using singularities, they helped but not enough to actually get a nullifier in place. And I don't really want to try and optimize my weapon/building placement on a map this big and uneven

Charge your forge to around 1000 aether, then use a few singularities targetted at the center of the emitter (each 25% power).
That is how I did it, even though I also had the Thor and like 30 Berthas, but I don't think these actually did much. Yes, singularities stack, and with enough of them you can defeat even this emitter.
With other words, forge spam and have max build speed to get that nullifier in there. After about 3 or 4 singularities the creeper is already getting attracted enough.
Don't worry, if I re-use this concept I will make sure there is a way to nullify the strongest emitter without needing singularities.
Yeah, I did manage to do it after stacking multiple singularities but it took me like an hour to think of that :v
