spore challenge
Trying to solve this the proper way it's hard.
However, there is a trivial solution--spores won't fire on CNs or nullifiers. Build nothing else and there's no threat.

Surprisingly so.
I tried really hard to complete before first spore launch, but cannot.
However the millions of PZ left by your first nullifyer gives room for so much reactor, so much boosted Beams, the rest is easy.
Just be sure to get the first 300 or so spores before they launch, then there is ample time to mop-up the last 108

I managed to beat it the proper way coming down from the top.
I tried to build beams only for as long as I could be asked to, then built power around the CN's, like as many as the CN's reach to.
But didn't survive the barrage

You have to use all those power zones. Start in the center top, one nullifier to get PZs, then power, then beams and more nullfiers. Don't build anywhere but a PZ.
Yes, but I tried not to attack anything first, just build a 'base' and try to sustain it. I guess that if I bothered to build enough beams, set most to not to resupply and then build as many reactors as possible, within the CN's ... maybe

I didn't need to worry about setting things not to resupply. Your first nullifier can clear multiple PZs, you can build power and another nullifier and now you have a bunch of PZs. The key is collecting PZs fast.
I get you - but my attempt was to build a base, before nullyfing anything. I failed

Nope. You don't build a normal base here. Drop all the CNs to power the building of your first nullifier, then everything else you build goes on PZs.
