What am I missing? I can't generate enough power to keep the creeper off my land and I can't get to the reactor tech to get enough power.

There are 2 things that are important on this map:

1. Only fight the battles you can.
2. Building more collectors/reactors isn't the only way to generate more energy.

Huh? How else do you generate energy?

I think he means drop extra CN's.

edit: I have not played this map, as I avoid max size maps... so if there is only 1 CN I apologize for my stupidity.

I think he means upgrade with the forge. ;D

By the time I got the reactor tech I didn't need it any more.

I don't see how to stay alive long enough for the forge to matter.

Do drop 3CNs, it will give you a huge boost
A few cannons will be enough to hold off the creeper-for a bit.
The spores from the 3 towers on your planet are extremely weak, so hold off on some beams. Try nullifying one for a PZ, as cannons are actually more efficient on PZs.
