So like, Ive been wondering, how the hell do you make it to space while still having enough settings enabled for achievements?
At some point, biters almost always overwhelm my defenses
Edit: guess I have another 800 hours (minimum?) to sink into factorio again
What works for me:
Have radar coverage to keep an eye on biter expansion
Keep an eye on your pollution cloud, and reduce production (at least initially) if it's expanding too fast.
Build up military tech alongside your other tech
Pending 3, take out biter nests that expand too close to the edge of your pollution cloud.
If you can do 1-4, biters should never actually get to your base.
Then by the time you're ready to go off world, make sure you have a perimeter lined with turrets (and some walls to help protect the turrets), repair bots and repair kits, automated ammo production, and supply lines (belts or trains) to automatically get that ammo to your perimeter turrets.
Sounds like I need the factory at home needs to grow much larger than it has before.
