Here I am starting to build a mortar. I let that mortar fire a shot where it is then head down to Africa, where it will need to patrol Africa's borders. That will protect you from most of the creeper. But the survivors outside your area of control will need to be protected. A drone would do well to protect them. ;)

How about a little more help?
Build sequence of weapons/reactors?

First off, a picture is worth a thousand words. Here is the picture of the end of the map for me (in the second spoiler if you do not want to see that yet, but it will help you picture what I am saying).

Okay from the beginning in stages:
Stage 1:
Immediately go for the first upgrade on the right. I used the 10% less build upgrade. Then I went for the second upgrade and got the 10% more energy upgrade. After that, I lit up Europe, and Asia with collectors before building my first mortar (the key is to get as much energy as possible before needing to build it).

Stage 2:
Once the mortar is built, I let it get ammo packets until it fires one shot, then I rush it over to the bottom of Africa and let it fire a couple there. Before it lands at the bottom of Africa, I have all places that I can reach built with collectors (as shown in picture). I let the mortar jump between the top and bottom of Africa to keep all sides low and to prevent it from firing to much.

Stage 3:
While the mortar is jumping around, I start building my relay to North America which will give you a lot of collector room. And, anyways, the survivor in Hawaii needs saving! A single blaster on part time will protect the survival pod until you have the energy needed to collect it. Also, at the same time start builing a drone. This will allow you some mobility in protection that will be well needed. Just one drone for now, though. And part way through this entire process, you will need to start building out to Australia, which will be overrun soon, and save the survival pod. This will strain your resources, but it is needed. Don't worry if you loose Australia afterword.

Stage 4:
This part becomes less restricted. It is more up to you, what to do. A blaster will need to be built to stop the creeper from overflowing to the right of Odin City. After the pool is sufficiently reduced, I move it over to North America, right next to the emitter that is going to harm Hawaii and let it fire it's fill,  and build another blaster in it's place. By now your drone should be built (if I remember correctly ;)) and I have it bomb the bottom of South Africa to protect the surivors. At the same time I head to south America by building a relay to save the surviviors.

Stage 5:
Now it is up to you. You should have saved the survivors from all but Hawaii, and you have the reactor tech. Get some more energy and build up your defences. Save the last survivors from Hawaii and head to Antartica. Then your finished!


Hopefully that helped, and was not to lengthy ;D. Also, all of this as from memory and may not be a hundred percent accurate. Feel free to adjust as it pleases you! 8)

Do you mean above Odin City or to the Right of Odin City? I never had a problem above OC. And to keep the right side of OC from overflowing, I keep a blaster there, firing only part of the time.

My first weapon is the Africa Mortar that I keep moving from South to North.
Next is the Drone to keep bombing Hawaii.
Next is the OC Blaster - below OC. This does stop the Creeper over there.
Next is the Alaska Blaster. Will that protect the Hawaii survivors all by itself, or do I need to keep flying the Drone?
...
At this point (+/- 5:00) the creeper will overflow either South America or break the England/North America connection.

I think I need to get another Mortar in play somewhere, but not sure of the timing/location.

I think the main problem is that you are sending your first drone to the wrong place. I believe the survivor will be safer longer than you think. To keep the surviors in South America safe, I send my first drone down there, right on the tip, so the African mortar does not get overloaded. And yes, a single blaster will protect the survivor in Hawaii.
