This is an interesting map that came out when searching for play as creeper maps.

Spoiler
The aether packs, 3 have prebuilt siphons on, 1 below the forge under the pants, 1 on the red moon, look closely, 1 next to the small middle moon, and the last one is on the bottom moon.

Set the shield, and both guppies to stop resupply to be able to land the CN there.

After reading all the guys stuff, it is not necessary to read them again after restart.

The guppies can collect the guys also.

This is my progress so far.

Copying the map to the editor will allow viewing objects better.

Found the Easter egg: located in space between forge and enemy.

Even with all those hints, still stuck on being able to actually finish the map. I did nullify 3 arms and 2 emitters, by then the runners come and mess up any more nullifiers. The CN takes too long to charge itself to be able to use it to nullify stuff, might be best to not nullify everything, after 2 arms I am thinking of bringing that terp and using it to get areas where nullifiers can be built, then after that I am stuck. I find the extra relay unnecessary, the guppies after building siphons, should be able to keep the forge active for the whole time.

Oh I did it!!!

On the next restart, I used the guppies to go around and do stuff, and the CN just lifts off after it charges.

Then when the guppies build the 4 siphons and go to the forge to keep it active, After nullifying two arms, I went for the center.
Using the given terp, I terraformed 3 10 ground to nine ground using the red arm location after nullifying it. then moving the terp to the new location terraformed some ground to level 7 right next to the Air exclusion tower, the used AE tower power zone nullifer there will reach the inhibitor and nullify it!

Congratulations, the described strategy is indeed the one that I originally imagined for this map.
