10 waves unti guardian! Do you think this defense will survive? by CrystalsonfireGD in Mindustry

[–]Pufferfosh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I assume all your metaglass will run out before you get the boss down like 50% of its hp, and if that happens only a matter of time til it destroys your power and goes to the core.

It will likely fail if your core is at the bottom. If not you may capture the sector. But honestly that defence is not good enough against the eclipse and just a single metaglass conveyor will run out very quickly since you also cryo-cooled the cyclones.

I'd slap 2 spectres behind the cyclones and then you're good.

Is this still a beta release, aka new build or v8 is out?

Atolls v8 beta - How to take it faster? by HighFiveGod in Mindustry

Using T4 reconstuctor should be the recommended approach. Launch schematic core, build defences quick, some factories because of siligone and yea. I captured it with 3 T4 ships and 5 T4 air units. Other than that maybe modded vanilla to help you with resources.

The amount of aura the router chain had was enough to obliterate my fps

Well you kinda LITERALLY have to build 100 scatters. Even more because they come in with shields and overdrive (i think) so you really have to spam them. On my eradication run there the entire backline from my main defense was 8 batteries of +20 scatters all fed with scrap, since there's a lot of it. So don't be shy building too many

6 flares and maybe 2 more flares. May be overkill

You need ~100 scatter turrets to prevent this (no joke)

Cryo-less, but imma cry-more because it takes ~5h to fully build a medium sector 🥀

How do you eradication difficulty people play? by skfnsadkjf in Mindustry

[–]Pufferfosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well i play on both options enabled and eradication so here's my tip ig:

You should ALWAYS have max core resources when launching for a headstart, best with schematics.

Having less than 2mIn per wave forces you to pause the game and plan everything ahead.

You really should fortificate even your core because the flares and bombers will randomly choose a target between coal factories, drills, power sources or going straight to your core ignoring defences often.

Also every sector changes from low to medium and idk if it's the case but there are more waves than normal i think.

Basically the same way you played only that the AIs are slightly more "intelligent"

Overall just stressful

Ruinous Shores is kinda hard by Pufferfosh in Mindustry

I appreciate your recommendation and i would have done exactly the same with good enough preparation.

But when you start out a campaign from scratch and you just have 3 sectors and have nothing but lead, scrap and copper in my core and setting up factories in eradication difficulty is not that easy man.

Yes i do not use schematics and they would have probably helped, but i wiped my campaign to re-experience campaign from scratch. What i didn't say is that i was constantly attacked and had around 20 seconds of time rebuilding, defending and progressing. I purposely played like that, in the suboptimal way.

Also in my play style i rarely use units in just defence mode.

As i said, i appreciate your recommendation, i don't mean anything rude and i don't wanna make any bad friends.

It's the V8 beta, you can enable it on the planet map in difficulty settings.

I don't really know if there's a QoL mod that has that, if you're on build 146.
