All I learned about base defense on Stranded: Alien Dawn

I'll show all the tips I've learned so far on what works and what most definitely does not work, and then play out a scenario in three different ways to see how they play out.

Thank you for explaining the game mechanics in the way you have..I learned a lot. To your other comments from viewers I learned from them too so thanks to them as well...!!!

Excellent video. I've learned so much. Thank you

hmm, my turrets are in a line right at the back of a straight funnel of flamethrowers, 6 flamethrowers either side of the path facing eachother. Even with 500-600 hordes, including 90+ Glutches and 30+ Broodmothers the turrets never take any damage and I'll maybe lose 1 flamethrower every 3-4 attacks. Flamethrowers ftw as they are not disabled by solar flares and essentially provide their own fuel in the form of dead insects once you unlock fermentation

Awesome video mate, gave me a couple of good insights 👍

Might need to extend your maze further and add more survivor fortifications for similar attacks during a solar flare.

Hi do you know why my laser turrets dont shoot? Like, they are moving but not shooting

Capt. Philips. You’re thinking of Capt. Philips, they’re called Capt. Philips

[@hansschumann]

But what about all the attacks that don't use the main entrance but attack from other sides?

[@Neyreyan]

thats what i was thinking, it would be game over, i am playing on insane now and this doesnt anymore

[@TaijaT76]

I don’t like complicated killboxes, because you need at least two and they take so much space. This game has also pathing issues. I have 2 small rectangle forts at opposite corners of the rectangle base which is also as small as possible. Boring but works. I lure the enemy by sirens to those corners. They usually leave empty corners alone. I finish off insects lured into surrounding traps by my soldiers. They focus on destroying walls by then.
I play on very hard difficulty. I start by building 1 tiny fort little away from the base and everybody will go there during attacks. Later it will become a corner fort.

just fyi the more turrets you have and power the more bugs will attack i am currently getting 180+ bugs per wave now

Anybody have this on ps5 and know how to raise the floor

Breaks the... bath?

[@dcsobral]

The path.

[@rebeccamartin411]

@@dcsobral what do you mean by break? They stop and attack the gate?

[@dcsobral]

@@rebeccamartin411 A "path" is the route that will be taken by the aliens to get to you. The game calculates that route so the aliens can avoid obstacles and take the shortest way to you while doing so. If the game cannot compute a path, we say the path is broken. When the path is broken then the aliens will just come at you in a straight line and break any obstacles in the way.

[@rebeccamartin411]

@@dcsobral ahhh, gotcha. That's quite good to know, thank you.
