I am awful at this game. Just awful.
I don't think that building factories while being attacked by annoying monsters is within the range of my skills.
Play sandbox mode. (or freeplay with lowered/no enemy base amounts)
What's the difference between sandbox and freeplay?
Sandbox mode has no player character.
So how do you play? Just kind of have the parts go down with your hand-of-god type thing.

Basically, yeah. Wasd goes from 'move person' to 'move camera', and you can open anything within view.

I'm liking this game, but find the campaign difficult.

I managed the first mission (where you need to fetch an artifact from south east, after clearing some aliens), but the one after that kicks my butt while i'm around 50% through flying research.

I havent gotten past the first mission yet.

I find its lack of progression to be annoying. Like, I've gone in there, blown up turrets, and building but the Creepers number don't seem to really diminish.

Best creeper killer... flamethrower, believe me, in open field it WRECKS them, no more shooting one after the other when there is a mob at you, take your flamethrower out, burn most of them, switch to your smg once you thin them out. Like a boss.

Just build your own turrets!

Once you crack the game the difficulty goes down to about zero: You just need to set up 5 turrets and they can kill a whole wave without blinking

There is no convenient way to fight rocket turrets now (apart using armor and fully upgraded rocket launcher, or using car to smash the base down, or a train, or build just a lot of laser turrets in front of you, if you can afford it).

But once the game core is working better, there will be more ways for your factory to create products that will help you in the battle :)

I don't think you actually tried the second mission i'm talking about :)
I have built my turrets of course, about 10 lasers and 10 normal , and a wall in front of them. THat's not enough.

What i didn't try yet is helping those turrets with a flamethrower. I have used it in the previous mission but had the bad surprise that you destroy your own buildings with it ! which makes sense but still ...

I must admit it's been quite a while since I played, so the difficulty could have gone up.

But clearly the solution is still MOAR TURRETS!

So yesterday i was bored... i snagged an electric furnace mod... found out... the image was off and didnt have proper animation, i fixed it and now have a proper electrical furnace. For anyone interested i could post that *fix* somewhere. Fully integrated electrical furnace mainly based on the normal one.
