That moment when you thought you had enough beam defenses, and then several clouds of Death fly past....

got 8 of the flip emiters, even managed to expand to other islands on top, then rng rain just ruined everything lol

Yeah, the hard version ended up being a little trickier than I had intended... 

Spoiler

Your game play has to be near-perfect until you get the berthas to the southwest.  Move too slowly and the creep to the northeast will cross the void and start causing frequent rain - you won't last long once that starts...  To buy myself a little more time, I had to send guppies and mortors to the island next to the eastern rain machine to stave off the creep for a few more minutes.  Even then, I was finishing my way to the berthas as the creep crossing the void caused some nasty rain. 

Taking the islands to the north isn't hard, but retaining them is nearly impossible since you'll almost certainly encounter at least one rain.  I gave up trying to take them.  Once you get the flip emitters going, you can take any ore you need from them.

Once more critical tip...  You can make it rain AC if you feed the rain maker AC...
