I'm stuck. I see how to get to the right island by not moving terp, but this require forge upgrades, thus I need to move it to claim the left island. Any hints?

Sure, if you can tell me how to keep the spores from killing everything before you get started. Even if I could protect my base from 2 spores every 10 seconds, they kill all the remote resources I need, like the ore farm and that single relay which I assume becomes important later.

Even after moving the terp, I can't get to the forge. If I don't move the terp, I can't land guppies on the central island. And even after I do, I just don't have enough firepower available to hold a path open.

It's tough. Real tough. I'm not sure it's a kind of tough I like :s

what else is there to move? the base cant move because everything is blocked. guppies cant land on the two long islands because of the no fly zones, and everything else is blocked. base cant move back to process ore after flying away because theres a hole in the ground.

help a brother out here

never mind, got it

If it wasn't for the fact there are 15 scores on this I would say it is impossible.
With the command center being hurt by creeper within the first 5 seconds, the first thing I would need to build is the two cannons which can only just save the command center, I would then need to build down and take the nullifier to take out the no-fly zone but by the time it charges up enough to fire, the spores start to attack.
So instead of charging the nullifier I would need beamers, two beamers isn't enough to destroy the two spores before they hit, in addition, two, or even four beamers cannot recharge fast enough to take on the endless spam of spores.

I literally cannot see a way to complete this, and yet there's clearly a way, because 15 people have completed it, and it can only be uploaded once it is completed... so..........
Yeah, I'm stuck.

Edit: OH!

Oh I see what you've done now... you sneaky bar stool.
Okay I think I can do this now...
Edit 2: Okay so I managed to get to the point I can take the nullifier, and then everything disconnects, I can't build anything and everything dies....
and now that I've started again, the terp keeps dying before I get a beamer up... is that just really bad RNG?

Great. Tell me how you did it, ok? Thank you for playing.

answer to your edit: you have to try to keep things west intact and reinforced.
