Re: So i have an issue with the alien things
As already suggested, but not by many ... Flamethrowers. I personally find them really useful early on. They are very cheap to make (basic oil processing), and have excellent damage against biter spawners. Lay down a defensive wall of turrets as your safe area, and kill them bugs with fire! Works gr...

Re: Who is the player character?
I thought to myself that the main character has got a personal 3D material printer. Much more advanced that we have now, possibly using nano assembly machines or nano replicators. Feed in the raw materials and it will make complex machinery over time. He has a data bank with him with most of the pro...

Re: Hardmode strategies
For me, the best strategy for clearing biters has been turret spam. Pretty much what you described there, you lay down a wall of turrets, advance under the protection, lay down another wall of turrets, rinse and repeat. Its FAR more efficient than rocket launchers and or combat bots. poison capsules...
