I haven't been to Gleba and Fulgora yet. I just took a tank with uranium explosive shells, and got Physical Weapon Damage to 16. The worms died at that point.

Also, fair. Railguns are a Cryo science thing.

And try non-explosive Uranium shells and a few gun speed upgrades. You need to overcome the healing with DpS, and the worms are weaker against kinetic shells than explosive ones.

Add some poison capsules and you can deal with at least small worms fine.

Gonna find out later myself if and/or how well mass Teslas work against worms. First build a factory on Fulgora that can get me to space, then research something with EM science, then unlock Purple and ~~Piss~~ Yellow science (yes, I'm trying for that super rare achievement), then work on the other fun gadgets and upgrades, before finally flying off to Vulcanus.

Railguns are better for big worms and only really necessary when/if you're gonna push Vulcanus to megabase levels.

I heard one tip where, if you want to throw a FUCKTON of materials at worms, build a 4×4 square of nuclear reactors, let them heat up to 1000, then aggro the worm to try to chomp down on the reactors, causing it to nuke itself.

Advantage: available with only up to chemical science

Disadvantage: you'll have to build four nuclear reactors, just to blow them up
