I've found that Plasma and Minigun towers are surprisingly effective against armored enemies and those with large health pools - like those Rock Golem type of monsters. they will absolutely MELT in the face of a minigun and/or plasma gun.
Ahaha ya that's a good combo, LOTS of pew pew power Especially cause the kroccoons (the rock golems with 3 legs) are resistant to explosions where's gnerots (the BIG rock golem) are resistant the physical such as miniguns So ya plasma can deal with gnerots, and then miniguns with kroccoon :) That being said, gnerots take 200% from explosives 😎
@@steelalphawolf My biggest challenge was dealing with swarms of krocoons, who are resistant to everything except physical and acid. Pretty much needed miniguns for them. Now that the acid spewer towers have been introduced, they're another good option and can deal with smaller creatures too (sort of a flamer substitute).
Haha thanks for the feedback🙏 super appreciate it!! Will try to get another out soon - thinking of doing base layouts or a survival mode guide - what do you think would be good?
I like putting Repair towers near every wall and tower array I may have. They may not be as useful to repair the damage immediately as it's being done by the larger waves, but they do help to mitigate a portion of the damage done, and that can be the difference between a broken wall or destroyed energy connector and your survival. It may not be much but every bit helps, especially since at late game, when you unlock all the plants and crystals for the resources you need, so you don't have to mine anymore, so their cost to build is minimal. They're even going to repair your defense posts that get railed by random weather events like hailstorm and tornadoes, allowing you to focus on more important things than repairing your damaged buildings. Repair towers are serious timesavers and should not be dismissed!
Totally agree with this - I'd say though that they're still not really worth til tier 2 where they go from 1 repair drone to 3 🙏 I've been putting 2 tier 2 repair towers per main defensive point, definitely makes a significant difference even during mobs (tier 3 once researched but would take a while for that)
@@steelalphawolf I have never managed to get it to tier 3, but now that I have gathered all the vegetation for my cultivator that gives me the mineable items, I am going to take the HQ to max level and upgrade all my tier 3 towers! But seriously, screw tornadoes...
@@TwilightWolf032 😂😂😂 tornados aren't so bad - it's HAIL THAT'S HELL!!! And ya tier 3 won't happen in survival and only generally late game with campaign unless you push for cultivators fast (which I did, my farms are pretty big 😁
What i like starting to do, because i am a cheating B, is setting up defense outposts right at the maps border. What this basically does is: 1. Your enemy waves cannot join together and make this big badass waves which no defense can handle anymore. (Divide and Conquer) 2. Long ranged Monsters are a no brainer now. Because once they spawn from the Map edge the get immedially shot down by the lazers/rockets etc without them being able to abuse their range. At the very start you cant cover every possible entry point, but the more outposts u got there, the easier it gets. I know its a bit cheating, but tbh its just funny to watch them all die after especially the long range critters gave me such an headache.
During my second campaign brutal run, i have used laser towers, with minigun towers and rocket towers, to counter monsters resistant to explosion damage with big health pools. Artillery towers and minefields ahead of the defense points were making short work of the smaller monsters, so what was reaching to my doorstep was mostly extra large monsters. I also want to say that the campaign brutal difficuilty has to be scaled up a lot as it was a piece of cake.
Yoyo! Did you notice if your bases can be attacked even if you aren't there (like your HQ while you're at an outpost) It hasn't happened to me yet but not sure if it's been luck or campaign timing?
yeah, put some little squares (6 by 4) defense blocks around your base, filled with mine-tower, shock-wave tower, and mini-gun. They absorb a lot of heat, and not that expensive to lose. Also, use 4 times maintenance tools mod on mr rigs while building, saves you 30-40% of resources.
Shockwave tower is taken from TD games where waves are focussed on a specific target from the start and can be pathed past them, riftbreaker enemies will swarm to the nearest thing and concentrate on that before moving to the next and the next. The behaviour of the hostiles makes the tower pretty much worthless for when you get access to it, if it came at the same time as sentinels and before artillery when most swarms are the puppies they'd have a reason to be built. Something I've tried that has worked fairly well was to lay out random bits of wall (dragons teeth) within range of towers but away from the main defensive wall, acts as a distraction and way of coaxing them into more specific kill zones.
the shockwave tower does have a "secret" that gives it an edge - it is the only tower in the game that deals cold damage by default. so enemies that are vulnerable to cold (think most any creature from the lava biome) will get nearly vaporized when they get close. i often pair them with flame towers to curbstomp smaller mobs.
Thank you for making this guide. Very helpful. Good for people that dont want to theorycraft through trial and error what exactly they need to put up a defensive effort. +sub
Thanks brotha! My pleasure!! Ya I just put in so many hours already that I figured out a lot through that trial and error haha Currently trying to figure out how to best beat Brutal Survival 😎
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day was ruined when I opened this channel page and I saw even SC2LotV and Zeratul on the cover, but there were no such videos and the last upload is from 2 years ago. I hope you're doing well out there!
Hahaha! With how much SC2 content there was, I only ended up making a couple videos for it - didn't feel I had much to offer I'm setting myself up to start shooting again I've been into Helldivers 2 lately Are you spreading liberty?
@@steelalphawolf I'm not interested in Helldivers, I play other online games. I just got really hooked on the riftbreaker as of the spring stream sale. Funny thing how the first time I tried the riftbreaker demo I hated it and ragequit during the last wave of prologue.
nice suggestions! I can see late game map clearing still easy with heavy artillery, when you can no longer be bothered taking them on - as its still probably quicker to do it by hand at that point.
HEY WOLF PACK! SOME NEWS: As mentioned, I couldn't bring my gaming PC when I moved to Costa Rica BUT I'm going to have it shipped to me in January 😁 I know it's a ways out, but I'll be getting a bunch of practice on my laptop in the meantime and will have a LOT of content to make as a result At the time of writing this, I've beat Brutal campaign, brutal jungle and brutal acidic plains 😎 Stick around and I'll have more coming your way 🐺
man, i woulda had my pc in a carry on somehow. woulda paid for another ticket just to get two bags so I could get it all there. I dunno, my pc would be there before the furniture lol
Thanks brotha! I've been out of it for a while cause I just haven't had time :( I'd love to get back into it but not I have a big learning curve with all the updates hahaha
@@steelalphawolf Yeah, I've dropped pixel art almost entirely because I've been so busy. I get it. For me, it's family life and work, but it'll slow down eventually, I'm sure
Pleasure! You should read other comments in this video A lot has changed in the game since I made it so you'll appreciate what people have commented to update this video :)
I place my artillery tower much closer too the walls so they get maximum range. Placing them a ways behind the other towers feels like gimping them. Especially if there are boomogans and shit out there i want my arty too be able too reach them comfortably.
Ya I like to distance them a bit so that in corners they actually cover more space Bomogans have a lot less range then artillery fortunately so the little bit of distance still works 😁
Flame towers are good in the beginning because they quickly dispatch the smaller enemies that reach the wall. Give the towers a mod that extends range and watch the small critters melt. And regarding the research you talked about at 3:40, the alien research is done in the laboratory, not the communications hub. Even if you have the max amount of comm hubs at highest levels, if you only have a Tier 1 lab, the research there will take a long time.
Ya I agree about flame but even rockets and artillery can clear them pretty easy - there's nothing to lose in adding 1 per defensive location though (Like don't put multiple within the same range) And YES this is KEY! Laboratories and Comms hubs are completely separate download / research times - learned that one the hard way a long time ago haha
Also, adding in some flame turrets diversifies your turret ammo usage. I don't use them much, but I do like to put one on the wall or out a little bit by itself to help clear the little stuff using a different ammo type.
Great video, really well done. However, I too must disagree about "flamer towers not being useful". There are a few reasons why this is absolutely not the case. 1. Ammo diversification: if you play brutal survival, you will soon realise that you can't just rely on artillery and rocket towers. You will run out of ammo halfway through an attack if you do. 2. A flamer tower will melt through the weaker enemies, allowing your other towers to focus on everything else, meaning less ammo usage again, and higher DPS. Flamers actually deal more DPS to clumped enemies than rockets do, and much more than single target towers like sentinels.
@@Planerary Flamer towers have one weakness though, their sheer ammo usage. I have 4 tower ammo factories and 8 flamer towers suck the supply dry in seconds
I’ll have to disagree with your assessment of repair towers, especially level 3 ones. I have them all along the walls and they are amazing at repairing sufficiently on their own that I don’t have to worry about the waves hitting. For the most part with the right setup you can just set up the line of defense and forget it, I spend most waves just building while defense takes care of itself. But I do agree, level 1 is crap.
Totally agree - I think I mentioned that tier 1 is pretty much useless but that 2 and especially 3 are useful because with tier 1 there's only 1 drone 🙏 Cause ya I do the same 😁 in the middle of a brutal survival run and getting to at least tier 2 repair towers is a high priority for my tech build order! Thanks for the comment and feedback brotha!
Flamer towers are usuful for clearing all the cannon fodder so that other towers can focus larger enemies. Clearing fodder quickly is also important because of performance issues.
Haha I love that you say because of performance issues and not cause of something to do with base defense 😂 Ya I've been planting 1 flamer per main defensive point / per range of a flamer Flamers use up a lot of ammunition so they run out fast if you have too many in one place
Maybe this came in a later patch, as I just started playing. But Repairing,selling, upgrading, turning off and on, can all be done in in large 5x8 square instead of a little one square area by clicking the right trigger will expand the repair feild on console not sure about pc
Ya this was before that EPIC path It was something the community had been requested since the Beta days haha Was excited to see that happen 🥰 Thanks for sharing!
I like laser turrets. One of the huge advantages is that they can not miss. I will usually put in a few as they can really help with those golems tanking damage for the ranged units behind them.
Ya that would make sense! I just haven't needed them - beat the campaign on brutal without researching them 😊 Didn't even need plasma towers Just rockets, miniguns, artillery, healing towers and mine layers (although mine layers were more cause I enjoyed how they function haha) But that's the best part of this game - there's no ONE way to do it 😁
@@steelalphawolf I agree that you don't need them, but a couple can really help with those large hp/resistant enemies. I also like to put one in my energy production to address those little energy suckers enemies that pop out of the ground. They aren't a huge issue, but putting one tier three turret that has decent range and only uses energy there just helps me not having to deal with it personally.
Wow, had no idea I could mod my towers. Wish you could sell off the mods and movement options. I accidentally built 2 tier one dash modules, and I've had to stare at that mistake throughout my whole first playthrough.
The drone tower was just okay in my experience. Similar to the repair tower the number of drones increases with the tier, but the damage just wasn't impressive. Maybe you're supposed to mod it. I personally like to add all of my forward mining outposts to my main power grid and add a bit of power storage to it. It makes it so that if I don't have access to good power yet I don't have to expand my outpost to hold a bunch of mills and panels.
I wonder if scratching posts will work in this game for the splash damage? by this I mean just setting up clumps of wall away from your base, so these get attacked first (have them in range of your guns though, so you can still return fire) I learned about these for games like they are billions where Zeds getting into your base are catastrophic, so having this first line of defence that can keep there attention is incredibly useful. I bought this game in the last steam sale (like a week ago) but not played it yet. I'm probably keeping it for an xmas day game I think, although I'm very tempted to start playing it. I think I will just play some X-Morph Defence for now though, as I have not played this yet neither (only found out about the dev recently, and bought all their games) have you see the zombie taxi one or whatever it's called, too? you essentially drive round running over zombies. I think it was their first game.
Hey man! The scratching post COULD work but I wouldn't say is necessary Something very different about this game is you aren't blocked from building whilst enemies are around so you can essentially do a bit of spamming if need be when the wave caught you off guard but you gotta be good - and you'll notice that if you build something and it gets attacked during the build time, it'll be typically be only one shot to kill But ya you'll have to try - one of the cool things about the game is how many different ways there are to play - there is no ONE meta :) X morph and zombie driver and VERY different from this X morph uses similar towers but otherwise it's completely different game I would highly recommend you play this first, it's a WHOLE other level
@@steelalphawolf I started playing it last night, and I'm using 4x4 honey comb as scratching posts, just outside my main walls. it prevents them actually attacking my main walls. also when big waves come, having these scratching posts splits up the wave so it all doesn't hit in one place. Granted when you have all the best turrets, it doesn't matter any more as they delete everything before they even get to the walls.
You can change the size of your repair / upgrade / sell square to a much larger one, I believe with the mouse wheel - No need to go sliding down the walls :)
Great video, thank you but I would like to know, and be sure, is the 3rd pattern you presented is enough to defend my base, I'm in a normal campaign, I have 25 hours of games and my defenses are starting to fail no longer work because I place lots of towers without thinking. Thank you for the different tutorials on your channel, I'm French and I watch them with subtitles. Excuse me for mistakes, I use google translate to make it understandable.
My pleasure and no problem! Yes, on normal, these will definitely work - as you get to hard and brutal, you likely want to add 1-2 layers and multiple repair towers at your choke points and at the points where you get the most enemies
@@steelalphawolf Thank you very much, I will be able to create a functional and organized defense. I found it amazing that so few towers could defend well.
Haha totally Depends on biomes too though cause flamethrower can be a huge help, and each turret really has its place But who doesn't love big explosions and massive lasers? 😎
I'm playing this on Ps5, and having a very hard time on easy mode. estimating i have 15 hours in. the ammo thing is weird to me, as the game seems to say I'm out of ammo even when i only have sentinels. using only sentinels results in losing anyway. 2:25 was the most helpful minute for me, thanks
Thanks for sharing! First off, do you know that the armory makes ammo for your mech and then the ammo factories make ammo for you towers? And yes, sentinels do not take ammo. And you want to get away from sentinel's as soon as possible (or bolster them basically) since they don't do damage to a good chunk of aliens like Gnerots (the rock golems) and others depending on the biome! Rocket towers are a good second tower to go for cause of explosive and splash damage ☺️ Glad you found value in the video!!
Good info. But a trick I discovered and found to be very helpful was to place a dummy wall about 4 tiles away from my main defense wall. This prevents splash damage from damaging my towers, while still being close enough that my main guns can hit everything along that dummy wall. And they're much more expendable than the main wall+towers, as they're easy to replace, even in the heat of battle, as well as being easy to repair.
@steelalphawolf i think you're talking about the minigun. The gatling-gun tower uses about 300 energy (no ammo) and takes up 4 tiles instead of 1. Awesome video regardless. I think I use way too many flame towers based on your layout, and i can't wait to try out the heavy artillery.
I've actually found minigun towers to be very effective. In fact, I replace my sentinel towers with them once I can. I usually throw down mostly them and plasma towers along with a couple railguns and ofc artillery. I also put a lot of repair towers, as they are very convenient.
100% This was more an early to mid game guide 😁 Totally agree that replacing sentry with minigun is a perfect switch once you have the tech - more value per AI core and space
I've never really used them because they take up wall space - I prefer running out and shooting or getting grenade launchers or railguns - If you want though you can make 2x2 platforms PER defensive position - but don't do like SO many other players that line their walls with platforms, complete waste of defensive space (Especially when making good chokes)
dude, miniguns are absolute beasts. add a acid and extra rounds to them and they mow down everything. my defense is complete once miniguns join the missile and railguns
The mines should give you the option in diameter where to place them or focus front like a direction cone or something rather, it's annoying when they build behind the wall etc, pretty much worthless otherwise
Hey could you do a breakdown of when/how to go get the other materials? It seems I been slow at doing the orbital jumping and trying to get materials quicker. Thanks
I don't think I need to do a video for that - maybe I'll make it a part of one - but basically my tip is to make a MEGA MAIN BASE so you have all the resources and a lot of recourses to make all the side missions very fast :) The better setup you are before jumping, the fast you'll be on the side quests :) Let me know if that makes sense and helps or not 🙏
My tip would be bio scan plants when you explore other rift locations for new resources, you'll be able to produce the resources at your headquarters map via the cultivator building, you won't need to rift jump and set up outposts to harvest each resource on different parts of the planet. BTW palladium is found on the acid planet.
@@k7gixxer1000 will the Cultivators grow plants from different locations at the headquarters locations so long as you've scanned them? I thought they only regrew whatever plants were already around the Cultivator? Am I mistaken? If so my God have I wasted alot of time
@@Rysdad1 Yes, you can grow plants from all other locations, the more you scan a plant the higher it's yield will be. Some plants produce uranium, cobalt, roadium, palladium, carbonium, ironium ECT... ECT. The alien tech automates the harvesting so once you set up the cultivators it's an endless stream of recourses.
I actually just did this a few hours ago after watching this video, have the entire inside of my headquarters inner ring nothing but 100% renewable minerals, don't even have to mine anymore I have so many going, just sadly can't find the plant that makes cobalt. My God this is easier than building outposts and I never run out all thanks to a geothermal and 2 mud pits. Really wish I had known about Cultivators earlier 😆
Unfortunately I had to stop when I went to Costa Rica and haven't picked it back up since 😓 I'm planning to get Helldivers 2 videos up though Maybe I'll post a rift breaker one for fun since it's been a while!
Don't knock flame towers just one can thin out a lot small spam adds so you bigger hitting stuff isn't trash ads, put one with a mine field and it's super effective .
Totally! I typically use rockets for that but flamers can definitely work! Just gotta be careful cause they use a lot of ammunition fast! You can run out of gas in the middle of a wave pretty easily in the early and mid game
I was doing my first play through and started placing tones of towers in all around the edge of the map. I had close to 1000 and my game started lagging when I had a wave of enemies come through. So I have decided to start over and place defensive outposts instead.
Where to you get rail gun , in what biome? I have completed the campaign but I was never able to unlock the railgun some people told me you had to acquire samples from specific plants but was unable to find any ideas? New to the game I'm trying brutal now
So I'm pretty sure you need to get to familiarity LVL 2 with those gravitational rocks in the magma biome AND research plasma weapons :) Give that a try and let me know
@@steelalphawolf Perhaps cultivators, it wasn't till 35+ hours into the campaign that I looked up how to get crystals for crafting weapons and mods. TBH I thought cultivators were only for growing grass to be used as biomass and nothing else. Plus I thought there had to be ways of getting red crystal other than digging up explosive mushrooms.
Great video, thanks! Question about weapon mods: most of the +dmg mods (pure dmg or DOT), have an Elemental damage type to go with them. Does it actually effect what damage a weapon does? Or is only the +dmg % relevant. Say I put a +25% dmg mod with the Fire symbol on the Cryo (cold) rifle… does it make part of the dmg now fire damage? Thought I saw a post of someone modding their mini gun turret with an acid dmg mod to chew through mobs that were vulnerable to it. Just seems odd to have the mods drop with a dmg type symbol but not have it do anything..
Ya honestly that's one I've been wondering as well - I'm not totally sure but it LOOKS like it's only additional damage of that type and not change the entire damage to that type
Just reached out the discord and someone who's done some testing confirmed that it's an additional amount of acid damage, not a full conversion of damage to acid!
@@steelalphawolf Oh! Wow that's great, thanks for finding that out. I'd still getting in to Discord heh. I was suspecting that might be the case. That's pretty cool. So you can buff up with extra fire, or make a weapon 'multi-purpose' to avoid those resistances. Thanks again!
Hey boss got this game found your fusion plant vid loved it very simple love this so far. Curious if you could do a vid on getting a good titanium farm up in finding I can manage uranium and palladium but the volcanic area just kicks my ass.
Hey brotha! Would love to!! I'm seeing a few people ask about resource farming and such - I think that's what I'll make.my next video 💪 Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!!
What happens when a turret with mods gets destroyed, do you get mods back? I completed the campaign earlier and my base, actually my entire map is a mess lol I put fencing all over the map. I put thick wall layers to where the wave usually spawns to slow or even kill all them and they can’t go out. I beat the campaign using mostly artillery but next play through I’ll try out these other stuff, wasn’t sure how to use the big guns but now I know thanks. Last question, the shield generator protects you and base from everything even tornadoes? Thanks
So yes the mods should return to your inventory when you sell 🙏 And yes shield generators protect from everything until they run out of shield and regenerate 😊 Congrats on beating the campaign!! Was it on brutal? :O
@@steelalphawolf Do the mods still return to your inventory when the towers are destroyed with the mods active? And also, do mods return when you dismantle a weapon?
@@Planerary they do when you dismantle but I don't know about destroyed towers actually - never tested that 🤔 Definitely let me know if you figure that out I'll try to test too 🙏

@@pedropimenta896 great feedback brotha! Super appreciate you taking the time to share! I love this idea and it would be even more epic if I did 1 weapon per 1 alien at a time - I'll ask the modding community about how to do that!
Fun fact: on the PS5 you can see that towers can use mods, but there is no way to install them. No button in the building menu. Really well done by the developers. Or I'm just too stupid to find that. 🤷🏼♂️
So based on using the lasers, not the tower lasers, it seems like they pierce up to five targets and as long as they are hitting one target they will charge to their max. I'm assuming it's probably the same for the towers @oliver wolf verkempinck

@@steelalphawolf Great. Thank you. I've been having a power problem so I'm trying to figure out how to solve it. I'm at headquarters Lvl 4 and I can't for the life of me figure out what I need to do to really get extra power. I keep running out at night.
Geothermal power plants are also a great source of mud too (100, 150, 200.) So you can plan for future buildings. So a tier three with maxed out support buildings can support two farms (amazing way of getting a small constant flow of whatever resource you are farming for) or even eventually two fusion power plants. One campaign, I wanted to see how long I could stay on the first map. I used the scanner on about 25 to 30 of those mushrooms that produce cobalt. I used the mud from a geothermal power plant to provide the water needed to set up a farm. With that high specific scanning and one farm, I was getting six cobalt a second once the farm was up and running. I ended up setting up my "cobalt mining outpost" last out of all my outposts, because I was basically maxed out on cobalt for almost the entire campaign due to that one farm. Edit: also farms can be a great passive source of plant materials. This can make certain campaign missions much easier. I had a lot of farms set up on my last playthrough and had around 25 plant materials a second income from them. Pop into a new mission and need power? Put down five or so plant biomass power plants for some quick and constant energy. Edit 2: Also, pop your bioscanner on when you run by your farms. There are usually a couple of plants that you can scan to up your knowledge of that plant so you increase your knowledge. This is an easy way to take a plant from ok to really useful. In this new game, I have two tier one farms growing that cobalt mushroom and I just broke the 33 scan bonus just by running my scanner over my farms every once in a while. These mushrooms are a little tricky though as sometimes in one of the small ones underneath the big ones.
@@littlepotato2741 love it Ya man there's a LOTTTT you can do in so many ways I went HEAVY into farming haha I'm hoping to get a last video before I leave to Costa Rica where I show my base layout 😁 I pretty much didn't need any mining outposts cause of my farming haha but did them for gun 😍
I don't think they have more HP then 4 walls of the same tier though Also, when one breaks, 4 tiles open up which I'd say is probably riskier It also would mean less splash damage prevention since the 4 tiles of gate take all the highest amount of damage :/
@@steelalphawolf ah yea didnt think about that walls are 1by1 where gates are 2by2 so they actually have the same hp but gates are weaker since they share the hp while walls do not share hp with anything.
Yes there is - with proper distancing, instead of making a bit square you can have these "arms" I guess you can say that come out where you have a whole bunch of towers and the aliens will go to the tips of those arms - this allow you to not have to have even amounts of towers ALL along your walls Also, "forward bases" where you mining outposts are can be great or even just a forward base where there's a fantastic choke point - then you don't need to build towaers behind that forward base as long as there aren't other access points between you forward base and your base Ultimately the aliens follow a direct path and don't change much priority based on density of defense - so if you can figure out where they funnel in and defend those areas, everything behind it is safe ☺️ But ya so back to the arms thing, I don't know how to better explain it, but it's literally like every 40-50 walls, push the walls out by about 20, stack the top with 4 or 5 layers, put a bunch of towers, come back down with one line of towers, go along another 40-50 walls, push out by 20 and repeat

As Adhitya said, only the map you're in gets attacked. Use this to your advantage, get to an outpost with larger pools of Sludge/Mud that you can use to generate electricity and filtered water (my recommendation is the Hazanite mining mission - the one on the tropical biome where you have to cultivate "yellow crystals", since it has high concentration of Mud) and use the resources in that area to plant crystals and trees that give you everything you need (scan everything with the Bioscanner up to level 2 familiarity, so they become available for plantation) and you'll never need to mine for anything. Just remember to go back and level the Cultivators and Harvesters up to level 3 when you have the upgrades available and you're gold for the rest of the game!

@@bownkirk Energy producing never stops as long as the "fuel" still exists. Even if you hit the max your batteries can hold, all your equipment will continue producing and consuming normally. In fact, you should be striving to be constantly maxed out on your batteries, because if you have a decay, when enemies attack and your turrets start consuming even more energy to shoot, you'll have power shortages everywhere and become a sitting duck. Don't be afraid of building more energy sources than you need, what matters is not being short on it!

@@steelalphawolf There are two locked icons attached to the Hazenite Icon. What I can't figure out is what unlocks these icons, as I've already completed the Hazenite missions.
@@Ncyphen hmm interesting - it may be the familiarity level for the hazenite plants? Join my discord and send a screenshot please so I can see! (Discord link in video description)
They're vulnerable 200% to acid and take 100% from physical (so no bonus) 50% damage from energy and fully resist explosives For your mech, minigun or sniper, add an acid mod For towers, minigun with acid mods would be best :)
Umm, should be? Lol I mean except for the mud golem enemies of course - besides that mud should still block all other creatures - unless that got updated I just bought metal terror so I'll have to boot it up and see I guess 😅
@@steelalphawolf i'm pretty new to the game so it's probably true, but on my map there's huge areas of mud that i've been building around, didnt realise i could use it as a defence like rocks
Well isn't that the point of the game? 😁 I'll show my base on my next video - I'm currently covering about a whole quarter of the map! Instead of seeing that as frustrating, why not try to see that as what makes the game fun! Taking the risks, being bold, exploring the map/planet to get what you need
Have you selected the tower? I know that sounds silly haha but when you select a tower, it brings up an interface where one of them you press and it opens up the mods menu IMPORTANT The level of tower effects what mods will be visible Example, a red mod can only go onto a LVL3 tower So if you're not seeing any of your mods when you open the tower, it could be because of the lvl of the tower 🙏
@@steelalphawolf Will try to screw with that when i get back home. I allways liked the Starcraft,and this game is somewhat simular,so i’m sold for now. Thnx.
Hahaha ya since this video, brutal has gotten MUCH more challenging - it's basically a whole new level now - the hard of today is closer to the brutal back then
Oooooohhhh ya - the Gnerots will WRECK you - that must have been traumatizing 😂 Big tip: typically when gnerots do start spawning, there will be one spawner that is ONLY gnerots, deal with that spawn FIRST with a bunch of rocket launchers or grenade launchers and then go deal with the rest of the spawns
Haha flamers are good if you're up against enemies who are weak against fire damage But ya beyond that, rockets with their range and splash are fantastic It is good though to have a variety of ammunition turrets in case you run out of 1 ammunition
Hmm but that really wouldn't work if you have 50-100 of that tower Plus in a game, you don't get THAT many mods and so the idea is to add them to selective important towers in a selective choke point It's definitely not the cleanest system and in sure it'll get reworked, but for now, throwing it on your most valuable towers and choke points does make an impact
It's crazy that a giant fusion plant only produces enough supercharged plasma to power 1 heavy artillery tower with no excess plasma to power a shield generator. Really poor design by the game dev.
Well it actually used to be the other way around - in the Alpha, you could do equal parts plasma to super charged plasma and it was just too easy :p Fusion powerplant isn't supposed to be FOR plasma - just like the geothermal powerplant isn't supposed to be FOR mud, they're just extra by-products 😊 Supercharged plasma is THE hardest "resource" so it makes sense it would be that hard to acquire
@@steelalphawolf Now that I've gotten to tier 3 Fusion plant the plasma production is much better, 800 instead of the tier ones 100. I'd say it scales quickly so using force fields and heavy artillery isn't that hard.
@@steelalphawolf The plasma converter can also be upgraded to Tier 3 to produce 75 super charged plasma, and like K7 said, the tier 3 fusion plant producing 800 plasma makes it way easier. Heavy artillery towers everywhere! :D
@@lucasm5233 ya good point :) Tier 3 building like that are super late game though so not very viable to beating the campaign (like by the time you have these things, you should have beat the campaign) You also definitely wouldn't be able to do it in survival BUT nonetheless these are awesome points and important to know as options!
Your making a video in defenses, and you have not tried all the towers out and can’t give information on them, also would have been nice if you show cased each one.. should just focus on going to Costa Rica be safe man good luck
Thanks for the feedback! I never said that I did know them all so there's no need to assume I did - I only shared what I knew - the video is informative nonetheless, especially for those just starting out 🙏
Totally, I've mentioned it quite a few times in other comments that this is from release 😊 A lot has changed however I unfortunately haven't been streaming since!
I loved the way you had everything set up beforehand. It made things super clear and you didn't waste my time by having me watch you build things.
Haha appreciate the feedback 🙏 doing my best to make it educational and entertaining 😁
I've found that Plasma and Minigun towers are surprisingly effective against armored enemies and those with large health pools - like those Rock Golem type of monsters. they will absolutely MELT in the face of a minigun and/or plasma gun.
Ahaha ya that's a good combo, LOTS of pew pew power
Especially cause the kroccoons (the rock golems with 3 legs) are resistant to explosions where's gnerots (the BIG rock golem) are resistant the physical such as miniguns
So ya plasma can deal with gnerots, and then miniguns with kroccoon :)
That being said, gnerots take 200% from explosives 😎
@@steelalphawolf My biggest challenge was dealing with swarms of krocoons, who are resistant to everything except physical and acid. Pretty much needed miniguns for them. Now that the acid spewer towers have been introduced, they're another good option and can deal with smaller creatures too (sort of a flamer substitute).
Clear, concise and sometimes comedic. Thanks for the quick easy tutorials my dude! On my 3rd video and of course subbed.
Haha thanks for the feedback🙏 super appreciate it!!
Will try to get another out soon - thinking of doing base layouts or a survival mode guide - what do you think would be good?
I like putting Repair towers near every wall and tower array I may have. They may not be as useful to repair the damage immediately as it's being done by the larger waves, but they do help to mitigate a portion of the damage done, and that can be the difference between a broken wall or destroyed energy connector and your survival.
It may not be much but every bit helps, especially since at late game, when you unlock all the plants and crystals for the resources you need, so you don't have to mine anymore, so their cost to build is minimal. They're even going to repair your defense posts that get railed by random weather events like hailstorm and tornadoes, allowing you to focus on more important things than repairing your damaged buildings.
Repair towers are serious timesavers and should not be dismissed!
Totally agree with this - I'd say though that they're still not really worth til tier 2 where they go from 1 repair drone to 3 🙏
I've been putting 2 tier 2 repair towers per main defensive point, definitely makes a significant difference even during mobs (tier 3 once researched but would take a while for that)
@@steelalphawolf I have never managed to get it to tier 3, but now that I have gathered all the vegetation for my cultivator that gives me the mineable items, I am going to take the HQ to max level and upgrade all my tier 3 towers!
But seriously, screw tornadoes...
@@TwilightWolf032 😂😂😂 tornados aren't so bad - it's HAIL THAT'S HELL!!!
And ya tier 3 won't happen in survival and only generally late game with campaign unless you push for cultivators fast (which I did, my farms are pretty big 😁
You can use the scroll wheel to make the size bigger for the repair.
Yes sir!
During these videos, that didn't exist yet
Total game changer haha
What i like starting to do, because i am a cheating B, is setting up defense outposts right at the maps border.
What this basically does is:
1. Your enemy waves cannot join together and make this big badass waves which no defense can handle anymore. (Divide and Conquer)
2. Long ranged Monsters are a no brainer now. Because once they spawn from the Map edge the get immedially shot down by the lazers/rockets etc without them being able to abuse their range.
At the very start you cant cover every possible entry point, but the more outposts u got there, the easier it gets.
I know its a bit cheating, but tbh its just funny to watch them all die after especially the long range critters gave me such an headache.
Haha I wouldn't say that's cheating - that's just figuring out how to best play the game ;) I do similar 😎
That's hwo I did it as well. The last wave was a joke for me, because I had multiple of these outposts stacked with all sorts of towers.
@@jsplit9716 haha well played
Try pulling that off on brutal survival now 😎
During my second campaign brutal run, i have used laser towers, with minigun towers and rocket towers, to counter monsters resistant to explosion damage with big health pools. Artillery towers and minefields ahead of the defense points were making short work of the smaller monsters, so what was reaching to my doorstep was mostly extra large monsters. I also want to say that the campaign brutal difficuilty has to be scaled up a lot as it was a piece of cake.
Very cool!! Thanks for the late game tips!
Hope others get to read this 😁
Yoyo! Did you notice if your bases can be attacked even if you aren't there (like your HQ while you're at an outpost)
It hasn't happened to me yet but not sure if it's been luck or campaign timing?
yeah, put some little squares (6 by 4) defense blocks around your base, filled with mine-tower, shock-wave tower, and mini-gun. They absorb a lot of heat, and not that expensive to lose. Also, use 4 times maintenance tools mod on mr rigs while building, saves you 30-40% of resources.
@@steelalphawolf The bases you have will not be attacked or even get natural disasters when you're not on the map. Only the ones whose map you're on.
@@glennjanot8128 Epic!
Ya I think soon they'll be changing that but for now, we're safe boyz haha
Shockwave tower is taken from TD games where waves are focussed on a specific target from the start and can be pathed past them, riftbreaker enemies will swarm to the nearest thing and concentrate on that before moving to the next and the next. The behaviour of the hostiles makes the tower pretty much worthless for when you get access to it, if it came at the same time as sentinels and before artillery when most swarms are the puppies they'd have a reason to be built.
Something I've tried that has worked fairly well was to lay out random bits of wall (dragons teeth) within range of towers but away from the main defensive wall, acts as a distraction and way of coaxing them into more specific kill zones.
Agreed 100%
I guess it was just a cool idea they wanted to try but you're very right that it's super relevant to pathing
the shockwave tower does have a "secret" that gives it an edge - it is the only tower in the game that deals cold damage by default. so enemies that are vulnerable to cold (think most any creature from the lava biome) will get nearly vaporized when they get close. i often pair them with flame towers to curbstomp smaller mobs.
@@SpynalToad oh what?! I didn't know they had cryo damage! That's definitely worth experimenting with
Good to hear some one actualy say thanks for your time and attention. Props. Not many ppl consider that. Like for you.
Ya man, they're our most valuable resources as people!! 🙏
Thank you for making this guide. Very helpful. Good for people that dont want to theorycraft through trial and error what exactly they need to put up a defensive effort. +sub
Thanks brotha! My pleasure!!
Ya I just put in so many hours already that I figured out a lot through that trial and error haha
Currently trying to figure out how to best beat Brutal Survival 😎
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day was ruined when I opened this channel page and I saw even SC2LotV and Zeratul on the cover, but there were no such videos and the last upload is from 2 years ago. I hope you're doing well out there!
Hahaha!
With how much SC2 content there was, I only ended up making a couple videos for it - didn't feel I had much to offer
I'm setting myself up to start shooting again
I've been into Helldivers 2 lately
Are you spreading liberty?
@@steelalphawolf I'm not interested in Helldivers, I play other online games. I just got really hooked on the riftbreaker as of the spring stream sale. Funny thing how the first time I tried the riftbreaker demo I hated it and ragequit during the last wave of prologue.
nice suggestions! I can see late game map clearing still easy with heavy artillery, when you can no longer be bothered taking them on - as its still probably quicker to do it by hand at that point.
Haha, totally, and it's satisfying to watch the red dots just disappear 😂

Great breakdown, jst got playing and realise there's alot no said in the game. Thanks for the info
Pleasure!
You should read other comments in this video
A lot has changed in the game since I made it so you'll appreciate what people have commented to update this video :)
" The hama hama.. hama.. the ultralisks " hahaha legend
😂😂
I place my artillery tower much closer too the walls so they get maximum range. Placing them a ways behind the other towers feels like gimping them. Especially if there are boomogans and shit out there i want my arty too be able too reach them comfortably.
Ya I like to distance them a bit so that in corners they actually cover more space
Bomogans have a lot less range then artillery fortunately so the little bit of distance still works 😁
Flame towers are good in the beginning because they quickly dispatch the smaller enemies that reach the wall. Give the towers a mod that extends range and watch the small critters melt.
And regarding the research you talked about at 3:40, the alien research is done in the laboratory, not the communications hub. Even if you have the max amount of comm hubs at highest levels, if you only have a Tier 1 lab, the research there will take a long time.
Ya I agree about flame but even rockets and artillery can clear them pretty easy - there's nothing to lose in adding 1 per defensive location though (Like don't put multiple within the same range)
And YES this is KEY!
Laboratories and Comms hubs are completely separate download / research times - learned that one the hard way a long time ago haha
Also, adding in some flame turrets diversifies your turret ammo usage. I don't use them much, but I do like to put one on the wall or out a little bit by itself to help clear the little stuff using a different ammo type.
@@littlepotato2741 agreed - I'll usually put one in my defenses lately cause it's also a nice show haha such beautiful graphics!
Great video, really well done. However, I too must disagree about "flamer towers not being useful". There are a few reasons why this is absolutely not the case.
1. Ammo diversification: if you play brutal survival, you will soon realise that you can't just rely on artillery and rocket towers. You will run out of ammo halfway through an attack if you do.
2. A flamer tower will melt through the weaker enemies, allowing your other towers to focus on everything else, meaning less ammo usage again, and higher DPS. Flamers actually deal more DPS to clumped enemies than rockets do, and much more than single target towers like sentinels.
@@Planerary Flamer towers have one weakness though, their sheer ammo usage. I have 4 tower ammo factories and 8 flamer towers suck the supply dry in seconds
I’ll have to disagree with your assessment of repair towers, especially level 3 ones. I have them all along the walls and they are amazing at repairing sufficiently on their own that I don’t have to worry about the waves hitting. For the most part with the right setup you can just set up the line of defense and forget it, I spend most waves just building while defense takes care of itself. But I do agree, level 1 is crap.
Totally agree - I think I mentioned that tier 1 is pretty much useless but that 2 and especially 3 are useful because with tier 1 there's only 1 drone 🙏
Cause ya I do the same 😁 in the middle of a brutal survival run and getting to at least tier 2 repair towers is a high priority for my tech build order!
Thanks for the comment and feedback brotha!
Thanks good man, I really needed these tips.
My pleasure!!
Flamer towers are usuful for clearing all the cannon fodder so that other towers can focus larger enemies. Clearing fodder quickly is also important because of performance issues.
Haha I love that you say because of performance issues and not cause of something to do with base defense 😂
Ya I've been planting 1 flamer per main defensive point / per range of a flamer
Flamers use up a lot of ammunition so they run out fast if you have too many in one place
Thanks for the layout info!!
Great video man! Super helpful! Keep'em coming!
Haha will do my best!
What's one you'd like to see next?
@@steelalphawolf Maybe try different defensive strategies! And see what is effective and what is not! Trial and error type video
Maybe this came in a later patch, as I just started playing. But Repairing,selling, upgrading, turning off and on, can all be done in in large 5x8 square instead of a little one square area by clicking the right trigger will expand the repair feild on console not sure about pc
Ya this was before that EPIC path
It was something the community had been requested since the Beta days haha
Was excited to see that happen 🥰
Thanks for sharing!
I like laser turrets. One of the huge advantages is that they can not miss. I will usually put in a few as they can really help with those golems tanking damage for the ranged units behind them.
Ya that would make sense!
I just haven't needed them - beat the campaign on brutal without researching them 😊
Didn't even need plasma towers
Just rockets, miniguns, artillery, healing towers and mine layers (although mine layers were more cause I enjoyed how they function haha)
But that's the best part of this game - there's no ONE way to do it 😁
@@steelalphawolf I agree that you don't need them, but a couple can really help with those large hp/resistant enemies. I also like to put one in my energy production to address those little energy suckers enemies that pop out of the ground. They aren't a huge issue, but putting one tier three turret that has decent range and only uses energy there just helps me not having to deal with it personally.
@@littlepotato2741 oh smart
Those guys are HILARIOUS
Just like "oh.. oh.. ooohhh yes I like this MMMMMMM"
Wow, had no idea I could mod my towers. Wish you could sell off the mods and movement options. I accidentally built 2 tier one dash modules, and I've had to stare at that mistake throughout my whole first playthrough.
Haha ya it's something the community has asked for - Exor is aware, they might be cooking up something :)
Didn't realize defense towers had mod slots, thanks for the tip!
Ya it's a subtle little thing that's awesome for your primary towers!
The drone tower was just okay in my experience. Similar to the repair tower the number of drones increases with the tier, but the damage just wasn't impressive. Maybe you're supposed to mod it. I personally like to add all of my forward mining outposts to my main power grid and add a bit of power storage to it. It makes it so that if I don't have access to good power yet I don't have to expand my outpost to hold a bunch of mills and panels.
Yes sir the power storage at forward bases is KEYYYYY and something I used to teach a lot during the beta 😁
I appreciate this video!
My pleasure 🙏
There's a few others I've made you'll probably appreciate as well then! All the same general format
I wonder if scratching posts will work in this game for the splash damage? by this I mean just setting up clumps of wall away from your base, so these get attacked first (have them in range of your guns though, so you can still return fire)
I learned about these for games like they are billions where Zeds getting into your base are catastrophic, so having this first line of defence that can keep there attention is incredibly useful.
I bought this game in the last steam sale (like a week ago) but not played it yet. I'm probably keeping it for an xmas day game I think, although I'm very tempted to start playing it.
I think I will just play some X-Morph Defence for now though, as I have not played this yet neither (only found out about the dev recently, and bought all their games) have you see the zombie taxi one or whatever it's called, too? you essentially drive round running over zombies. I think it was their first game.
Hey man!
The scratching post COULD work but I wouldn't say is necessary
Something very different about this game is you aren't blocked from building whilst enemies are around so you can essentially do a bit of spamming if need be when the wave caught you off guard but you gotta be good - and you'll notice that if you build something and it gets attacked during the build time, it'll be typically be only one shot to kill
But ya you'll have to try - one of the cool things about the game is how many different ways there are to play - there is no ONE meta :)
X morph and zombie driver and VERY different from this
X morph uses similar towers but otherwise it's completely different game
I would highly recommend you play this first, it's a WHOLE other level
@@steelalphawolf I started playing it last night, and I'm using 4x4 honey comb as scratching posts, just outside my main walls. it prevents them actually attacking my main walls. also when big waves come, having these scratching posts splits up the wave so it all doesn't hit in one place. Granted when you have all the best turrets, it doesn't matter any more as they delete everything before they even get to the walls.
You can change the size of your repair / upgrade / sell square to a much larger one, I believe with the mouse wheel - No need to go sliding down the walls :)
i think they may have added this in the last year?^^
Yes sir! It's an EPIC new feature since this video - something we were requesting since the Beta and Alpha days hahaha
@@steelalphawolf I bought it a few days ago and can't stop playing :D First normal, now brutal 300%. Fun game
Great video, thank you but I would like to know, and be sure, is the 3rd pattern you presented is enough to defend my base, I'm in a normal campaign, I have 25 hours of games and my defenses are starting to fail no longer work because I place lots of towers without thinking. Thank you for the different tutorials on your channel, I'm French and I watch them with subtitles. Excuse me for mistakes, I use google translate to make it understandable.
My pleasure and no problem!
Yes, on normal, these will definitely work - as you get to hard and brutal, you likely want to add 1-2 layers and multiple repair towers at your choke points and at the points where you get the most enemies
@@steelalphawolf Thank you very much, I will be able to create a functional and organized defense. I found it amazing that so few towers could defend well.
Wonderful and helpful video 👍
Thanks!
Railgun & Artillery FTW!
Haha totally
Depends on biomes too though cause flamethrower can be a huge help, and each turret really has its place
But who doesn't love big explosions and massive lasers? 😎
excatly what I was looking for. I build a few drone towern and also never see them doing things.
Ahaha ya I think it was just a cool idea that wasn't really practical 🤣
I'm playing this on Ps5, and having a very hard time on easy mode. estimating i have 15 hours in. the ammo thing is weird to me, as the game seems to say I'm out of ammo even when i only have sentinels. using only sentinels results in losing anyway. 2:25 was the most helpful minute for me, thanks
Thanks for sharing!
First off, do you know that the armory makes ammo for your mech and then the ammo factories make ammo for you towers?
And yes, sentinels do not take ammo.
And you want to get away from sentinel's as soon as possible (or bolster them basically) since they don't do damage to a good chunk of aliens like Gnerots (the rock golems) and others depending on the biome!
Rocket towers are a good second tower to go for cause of explosive and splash damage ☺️
Glad you found value in the video!!
Good info. But a trick I discovered and found to be very helpful was to place a dummy wall about 4 tiles away from my main defense wall. This prevents splash damage from damaging my towers, while still being close enough that my main guns can hit everything along that dummy wall. And they're much more expendable than the main wall+towers, as they're easy to replace, even in the heat of battle, as well as being easy to repair.
Ya I'll sometimes just throw them down in the middle of a fight to distract / absorb damage / make time for more tower DPS 😁 Great tip for sure!!
this was my thoughts. we call this a "scratching post" in "they are billions" glad to see they are being used here as well.
I guess the gattling gun and the portal bomb were added after this video?
I think this two are super cool to use
@@clopes87 portal bomb, yes, way after this vid haha
The gattling gun is in this video though!
@steelalphawolf i think you're talking about the minigun. The gatling-gun tower uses about 300 energy (no ammo) and takes up 4 tiles instead of 1.
Awesome video regardless. I think I use way too many flame towers based on your layout, and i can't wait to try out the heavy artillery.
I've actually found minigun towers to be very effective. In fact, I replace my sentinel towers with them once I can. I usually throw down mostly them and plasma towers along with a couple railguns and ofc artillery. I also put a lot of repair towers, as they are very convenient.
100%
This was more an early to mid game guide 😁
Totally agree that replacing sentry with minigun is a perfect switch once you have the tech - more value per AI core and space
I'll put 3-4 tier 2 or 3 repair towers per defensive point :) makes it that I can be pretty much AFK if I'm ahead of my waves enough 😁
Are the platforms to stand on to shoot over the walls worth it?
I've never really used them because they take up wall space - I prefer running out and shooting or getting grenade launchers or railguns - If you want though you can make 2x2 platforms PER defensive position - but don't do like SO many other players that line their walls with platforms, complete waste of defensive space (Especially when making good chokes)
dude, miniguns are absolute beasts. add a acid and extra rounds to them and they mow down everything. my defense is complete once miniguns join the missile and railguns
Haha totally agree! Things have changed a lot since this video :) I've been thinking of picking the game back up to update my vids :)
The mines should give you the option in diameter where to place them or focus front like a direction cone or something rather, it's annoying when they build behind the wall etc, pretty much worthless otherwise
I see how that could be good, but there are things that make it over the walls, or when walls get broken - those are times it's very useful
Very nice tips !!!
Thanks! Anything you'd like to see next? 😊
@@steelalphawolf I'm looking for a deep tutorial, all videos I watched are just small tips, maybe you can make a longer video showing a full session ?
@@Pl4sm0 hmm like a full survival session?
story mode would be better, im always stuck when I need to get to other places in the planet to gather resources :(
Hey could you do a breakdown of when/how to go get the other materials? It seems I been slow at doing the orbital jumping and trying to get materials quicker.
Thanks
I don't think I need to do a video for that - maybe I'll make it a part of one - but basically my tip is to make a MEGA MAIN BASE so you have all the resources and a lot of recourses to make all the side missions very fast :)
The better setup you are before jumping, the fast you'll be on the side quests :)
Let me know if that makes sense and helps or not 🙏
My tip would be bio scan plants when you explore other rift locations for new resources, you'll be able to produce the resources at your headquarters map via the cultivator building, you won't need to rift jump and set up outposts to harvest each resource on different parts of the planet.
BTW palladium is found on the acid planet.
@@k7gixxer1000 will the Cultivators grow plants from different locations at the headquarters locations so long as you've scanned them? I thought they only regrew whatever plants were already around the Cultivator? Am I mistaken? If so my God have I wasted alot of time
@@Rysdad1 Yes, you can grow plants from all other locations, the more you scan a plant the higher it's yield will be. Some plants produce uranium, cobalt, roadium, palladium, carbonium, ironium ECT... ECT. The alien tech automates the harvesting so once you set up the cultivators it's an endless stream of recourses.
I actually just did this a few hours ago after watching this video, have the entire inside of my headquarters inner ring nothing but 100% renewable minerals, don't even have to mine anymore I have so many going, just sadly can't find the plant that makes cobalt. My God this is easier than building outposts and I never run out all thanks to a geothermal and 2 mud pits. Really wish I had known about Cultivators earlier 😆
Ty for all your guides are you making videos still?
Unfortunately I had to stop when I went to Costa Rica and haven't picked it back up since 😓

thank you
Pleasure! ☺️
Don't knock flame towers just one can thin out a lot small spam adds so you bigger hitting stuff isn't trash ads, put one with a mine field and it's super effective .
Totally!
I typically use rockets for that but flamers can definitely work!
Just gotta be careful cause they use a lot of ammunition fast! You can run out of gas in the middle of a wave pretty easily in the early and mid game
tx love this vid
Pleasure 🙏
I was doing my first play through and started placing tones of towers in all around the edge of the map. I had close to 1000 and my game started lagging when I had a wave of enemies come through. So I have decided to start over and place defensive outposts instead.
Ya unfortunately although you can go endless with towers, it becomes heavy as the waves get bigger
Outposts are cooler too hehe
And faster
Yup I’m one of those people who seem to place stuff in really dumb places 😂 takes me like 30 seconds after teleport to get to fight
Ahaha we were all there at one time 😂
Such an effective tip to have portals right next to gates
Where to you get rail gun , in what biome? I have completed the campaign but I was never able to unlock the railgun some people told me you had to acquire samples from specific plants but was unable to find any ideas? New to the game I'm trying brutal now
So I'm pretty sure you need to get to familiarity LVL 2 with those gravitational rocks in the magma biome AND research plasma weapons :)

Middle mouse button on PC cycles the size of the repair square.
Ya that didn't even exist when I made these!!
I gotta update my videos haha
What videos of riftbreaker would you like to see?
@@steelalphawolf Perhaps cultivators, it wasn't till 35+ hours into the campaign that I looked up how to get crystals for crafting weapons and mods. TBH I thought cultivators were only for growing grass to be used as biomass and nothing else. Plus I thought there had to be ways of getting red crystal other than digging up explosive mushrooms.
Maybe a dumb question but does anyone know if a repair tower can repair itself lol?
Wow you know what, no idea hahaha
I can test that
I put them so far back that they can't get hit but can repair the front wall haha
Great video, thanks! Question about weapon mods: most of the +dmg mods (pure dmg or DOT), have an Elemental damage type to go with them. Does it actually effect what damage a weapon does? Or is only the +dmg % relevant. Say I put a +25% dmg mod with the Fire symbol on the Cryo (cold) rifle… does it make part of the dmg now fire damage?
Thought I saw a post of someone modding their mini gun turret with an acid dmg mod to chew through mobs that were vulnerable to it. Just seems odd to have the mods drop with a dmg type symbol but not have it do anything..
Ya honestly that's one I've been wondering as well - I'm not totally sure but it LOOKS like it's only additional damage of that type and not change the entire damage to that type
Just reached out the discord and someone who's done some testing confirmed that it's an additional amount of acid damage, not a full conversion of damage to acid!
@@steelalphawolf Oh! Wow that's great, thanks for finding that out. I'd still getting in to Discord heh. I was suspecting that might be the case. That's pretty cool. So you can buff up with extra fire, or make a weapon 'multi-purpose' to avoid those resistances.
Thanks again!
@@mkaleborn ya definitely check out the Exor studios discord (and mine of course 😎)
And ya exactly, fire, ice, acid tower LETS GO
Hey boss got this game found your fusion plant vid loved it very simple love this so far. Curious if you could do a vid on getting a good titanium farm up in finding I can manage uranium and palladium but the volcanic area just kicks my ass.
Hey brotha! Would love to!!
I'm seeing a few people ask about resource farming and such - I think that's what I'll make.my next video 💪
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!!
What happens when a turret with mods gets destroyed, do you get mods back? I completed the campaign earlier and my base, actually my entire map is a mess lol I put fencing all over the map. I put thick wall layers to where the wave usually spawns to slow or even kill all them and they can’t go out. I beat the campaign using mostly artillery but next play through I’ll try out these other stuff, wasn’t sure how to use the big guns but now I know thanks. Last question, the shield generator protects you and base from everything even tornadoes? Thanks
So yes the mods should return to your inventory when you sell 🙏
And yes shield generators protect from everything until they run out of shield and regenerate 😊
Congrats on beating the campaign!! Was it on brutal? :O
@@steelalphawolf Do the mods still return to your inventory when the towers are destroyed with the mods active?
And also, do mods return when you dismantle a weapon?
@@Planerary they do when you dismantle but I don't know about destroyed towers actually - never tested that 🤔
Definitely let me know if you figure that out
I'll try to test too 🙏
Why dont you use Sandbox mode to showcase and experiment weapons/towers?
Cause of the lack of time I've had with the released game 😭
The full game came out 1.5 weeks before I moved to Costa Rica from Canada so I had very little time 😭😭😭
@@steelalphawolf oh I see. Should I expect a showcase video then? Like, gameplay only?
@@pedropimenta896 from my channel? I've been doing guides - literally in the middle of uploading a base layout guide actually 😊
May do a brutal survival playthrough guide as well
But I didn't do playthrough videos since release cause I just don't feel people want that right now - everyone is PLAYING, they don't want to watch someone play much (but I could be totally wrong!)
@@steelalphawolf showcases are part gameplay and part guide, where you play what people want to see specifically. In my case, I want to see how well every weapon and tower handle against the hordes by themselves - no combos or mix n matchs. I will do that myself soon, but as a youtuber your presentation is what sells.
@@pedropimenta896 great feedback brotha! Super appreciate you taking the time to share!
I love this idea and it would be even more epic if I did 1 weapon per 1 alien at a time - I'll ask the modding community about how to do that!
Fun fact: on the PS5 you can see that towers can use mods, but there is no way to install them. No button in the building menu. Really well done by the developers. Or I'm just too stupid to find that. 🤷🏼♂️
Haha naw you're not stupid - you gotta select the tower :) it's in the tower's menu
just FYI lasers have Pierce. so they can hit more than one but they can only target one
But doesn't the damage increase only happen from keeping on the same target?
@@steelalphawolf I am not entirely sure. That might be a question for the Developers. lol
So based on using the lasers, not the tower lasers, it seems like they pierce up to five targets and as long as they are hitting one target they will charge to their max. I'm assuming it's probably the same for the towers @oliver wolf verkempinck
@@knightvoid ah very cool, I don't think it was like that in the alpha!
Great info! I'll have to explore more
I've just still never really felt I needed them but maybe they'd be an option after all!
@@steelalphawolf I'm running with 2 lasers as my main guns, minigun as a backup. They clear most stuff easily and for the hard enemies I switch as needed
I miss when railgun towers didn’t take 50-100 power per.
Ya the game has changed a LOTTTTT since this video
Still some good fundamentals here but overall, I've gotta reshoot all my videos hahaha
That's why I am always low on power! I gotta sell them railgums towers
Would you put wall on the edge of the map?
Yup, you definitely can
I'll be showing my layout soon and I go pretty much along the edge of the map 💪
forgot a go-2 survival wall... Energy Batteries inside the wall.
Hi I've playing on ps5 I would love to know your farming methods mid to end game am starting to struggle for carbonium
How heavy are you on using the cultivators and collectors? That is a huge asset
@@steelalphawolf funny enough I've just unlocked them but am not heavily using them or Carbonium Synthesizer
@@minty95 ah, you will see the magic ❤️
Go watch my gas power Video where I get into using cultivators and collectors :) basically 3 collectors to 1 cultivator works smoothly and the cultivators can produce any plant you have familiarity level 2 for 💪
@@steelalphawolf ah yes if get them to plant plants haha love that more so Carbonium ! 😄
@@minty95 you can't get basically every resource from collecting the plants
You can also improve your familiarity off the plants that the cultivator plants to increase the % that's collected 😊
And the cost is only the water and power so it's an unlimited source 💪
Just gotta get those ratios right 😎
On console we can change the size of the repair area
Ya so this is available on PC now as well as of a few months ago 😍
It was something we'd been requesting since the alpha days and it came through!!
@@steelalphawolf i just started playing yesterday
Can you please do a video on using Geothermal Power Plants? I've been looking around and can't find anyone that explains it.
So it's actually fantastically simple!
Just research the geothermal powerplants which are on the left side of the buildings tech tree
Then find a geothermal vent (indicated by a little white triangle pointing down on the minimap)
Place the geothermal powerplant ON the vent
Voila, easy power!
Let me know if you still need it in a video - I actually build one in my gas and fusion power video (during my fusion power portion)
@@steelalphawolf Great. Thank you. I've been having a power problem so I'm trying to figure out how to solve it. I'm at headquarters Lvl 4 and I can't for the life of me figure out what I need to do to really get extra power. I keep running out at night.
@@steelalphawolf I'm trying out the sludge now. Wish me luck.
Geothermal power plants are also a great source of mud too (100, 150, 200.) So you can plan for future buildings. So a tier three with maxed out support buildings can support two farms (amazing way of getting a small constant flow of whatever resource you are farming for) or even eventually two fusion power plants.
One campaign, I wanted to see how long I could stay on the first map. I used the scanner on about 25 to 30 of those mushrooms that produce cobalt. I used the mud from a geothermal power plant to provide the water needed to set up a farm. With that high specific scanning and one farm, I was getting six cobalt a second once the farm was up and running. I ended up setting up my "cobalt mining outpost" last out of all my outposts, because I was basically maxed out on cobalt for almost the entire campaign due to that one farm.
Edit: also farms can be a great passive source of plant materials. This can make certain campaign missions much easier. I had a lot of farms set up on my last playthrough and had around 25 plant materials a second income from them. Pop into a new mission and need power? Put down five or so plant biomass power plants for some quick and constant energy.
Edit 2: Also, pop your bioscanner on when you run by your farms. There are usually a couple of plants that you can scan to up your knowledge of that plant so you increase your knowledge. This is an easy way to take a plant from ok to really useful. In this new game, I have two tier one farms growing that cobalt mushroom and I just broke the 33 scan bonus just by running my scanner over my farms every once in a while. These mushrooms are a little tricky though as sometimes in one of the small ones underneath the big ones.
@@littlepotato2741 love it
Ya man there's a LOTTTT you can do in so many ways
I went HEAVY into farming haha
I'm hoping to get a last video before I leave to Costa Rica where I show my base layout 😁
I pretty much didn't need any mining outposts cause of my farming haha but did them for gun 😍
i was thinking about why not use Gates instead of Walls since gates have more hp for defence ?
I don't think they have more HP then 4 walls of the same tier though
Also, when one breaks, 4 tiles open up which I'd say is probably riskier
It also would mean less splash damage prevention since the 4 tiles of gate take all the highest amount of damage :/
@@steelalphawolf ah yea didnt think about that walls are 1by1 where gates are 2by2 so they actually have the same hp but gates are weaker since they share the hp while walls do not share hp with anything.
@@Zalmaxis you got it 💪😎
Is there any tactic for defensive walls like a star fortress or doesnt that work?
Yes there is - with proper distancing, instead of making a bit square you can have these "arms" I guess you can say that come out where you have a whole bunch of towers and the aliens will go to the tips of those arms - this allow you to not have to have even amounts of towers ALL along your walls
Also, "forward bases" where you mining outposts are can be great or even just a forward base where there's a fantastic choke point - then you don't need to build towaers behind that forward base as long as there aren't other access points between you forward base and your base
Ultimately the aliens follow a direct path and don't change much priority based on density of defense - so if you can figure out where they funnel in and defend those areas, everything behind it is safe ☺️
But ya so back to the arms thing, I don't know how to better explain it, but it's literally like every 40-50 walls, push the walls out by about 20, stack the top with 4 or 5 layers, put a bunch of towers, come back down with one line of towers, go along another 40-50 walls, push out by 20 and repeat
Dude how do you use the ionizers....I don't get why I can't make them work or how to use them
Do you have titanium? I'm pretty sure you need 2/sec (that and power of course)
@@steelalphawolf yes mate I got 10k titanium and when I build the ionizer nothing happens.. tried hooking it up to tanks and everything. I've practically built the rift station but I need to ionizer to work as part of building the other products
@@phillipsciano979 strange
Can you send me screenshots / clips on discord and I'll check it out 😁
My discord link is in the description (although I'm at the airport right now about to take off to Costa Rica so I'm not sure when I'll get to it)
@@steelalphawolf ok bro on the weekend I will send 😁
Hi, when you port to a different region does your old region still mine resources and can you be attacked? Cheers
Yes your old bases mines resources :)
In terms of being attacked while you're gone, it hasn't happened to me yet so I would imagine it doesn't happen
I haven't beaten the campaign though because I had to do a restart (my campaign was crashing) so hopefully someone else will also chime in 🙏
Enemy will only attack the region you're in, the other regions will keep mining but enemy wave will not spawn to attack it
As Adhitya said, only the map you're in gets attacked. Use this to your advantage, get to an outpost with larger pools of Sludge/Mud that you can use to generate electricity and filtered water (my recommendation is the Hazanite mining mission - the one on the tropical biome where you have to cultivate "yellow crystals", since it has high concentration of Mud) and use the resources in that area to plant crystals and trees that give you everything you need (scan everything with the Bioscanner up to level 2 familiarity, so they become available for plantation) and you'll never need to mine for anything.
Just remember to go back and level the Cultivators and Harvesters up to level 3 when you have the upgrades available and you're gold for the rest of the game!
@@TwilightWolf032 thanks. If my power is at max will that stop my gas power stations from working? I've built a few power plants but none of the run. Order is pump, gas filter then to the gas power plant. Coming from green sludge
@@bownkirk Energy producing never stops as long as the "fuel" still exists. Even if you hit the max your batteries can hold, all your equipment will continue producing and consuming normally.
In fact, you should be striving to be constantly maxed out on your batteries, because if you have a decay, when enemies attack and your turrets start consuming even more energy to shoot, you'll have power shortages everywhere and become a sitting duck.
Don't be afraid of building more energy sources than you need, what matters is not being short on it!
I use Laser Towers all the time. They have pierce damage through 5 enemies I think.
I heard! I still haven't yet but that could be worth exploring!!
It's just hard to think about going for it when I have other solutions
What do you think they're beat for?
I dint see details on The Hvy.Artillery tower...
How do you mean? 😊 I got into heavy artillery as the last tower at 8:52
Did I miss what you were looking for?
@@steelalphawolf yup, my bad. Not sure how i missed it. Sry & thnx.
@@WanderingSilverian haha cmon, the BIG MOMAS
You think I'd miss those?! 💥
Interlocking fields of fire.
how did you assign keys?
Go to settings, controls, key bindings :)
I have half the research completed, but I still can't unlock Railguns. What am I doing wrong?
They're in the alien research tree on the far left 😊
Do you see it?
@@steelalphawolf There are two locked icons attached to the Hazenite Icon. What I can't figure out is what unlocks these icons, as I've already completed the Hazenite missions.
@@Ncyphen hmm interesting - it may be the familiarity level for the hazenite plants?
Join my discord and send a screenshot please so I can see! (Discord link in video description)
@@Ncyphen I've spent a good half of a day just trying to figure this out. Haven't found an answer.
It's Energy Weapons on the Weapon in the equipment research tab... towards the right hand side
How do you defeat the hordes of ultra Kroccons?
They're vulnerable 200% to acid and take 100% from physical (so no bonus)
50% damage from energy and fully resist explosives
For your mech, minigun or sniper, add an acid mod
For towers, minigun with acid mods would be best :)
ok i typed to show me how to put mods in towers on xbox not pc but cant find it anyone help plz
Are you in the EXOR Studios discord? Look it up and join 😊 they're VERY engaging and helpful
I noticed that the AI really loves to go after corners. So if I have corners in my walls, I pad them with 3 squares of wall.
Ya totally - I do 4 layers!! Hahaha are you on brutal yet?
How's Costa Rica?
Haha thanks for asking
I actually got back a year ago but just haven't been streaming since I left for Costa Rica 😥
Does anyone know if the tower ammo factories give ammo for turrets across all the locations or just local?
ALL locations :)
@@steelalphawolf so we can just build a ton of them at the headquarters location instead of each outpost?
@@Rysdad1 yes
Enemies cant go through mud??? Is this still true?
Umm, should be? Lol
I mean except for the mud golem enemies of course - besides that mud should still block all other creatures - unless that got updated
I just bought metal terror so I'll have to boot it up and see I guess 😅
@@steelalphawolf i'm pretty new to the game so it's probably true, but on my map there's huge areas of mud that i've been building around, didnt realise i could use it as a defence like rocks
Technically, you're the "alien".
Ahahaha yes very true - I should call them the native inhabitants or something 🙏
Can anyone help! For the life of me I can’t find what to scan for the railgun towers does anyone know as can’t find info on it anywhere
Have you researched energy guns? Basically the plasma machine guns?
Check that first and let me know
@@steelalphawolf I was gonna try this but turns out it was the floating rocks in lava zone, thanks for help anyway :)
@@danielmiller6576 scanning the floating rocks unlocks railgun?!!
@@steelalphawolf Yeah I think I got level 2 of familiarity with it then it worked
Wow I gotta check on that and share it with others! It's a big question of a lot of people
This game is a bit frustrating because you don t get a lot of ressources near your starting point. U need to expand so far and take so much risks.....
Well isn't that the point of the game? 😁
I'll show my base on my next video - I'm currently covering about a whole quarter of the map!
Instead of seeing that as frustrating, why not try to see that as what makes the game fun! Taking the risks, being bold, exploring the map/planet to get what you need
I’m on Xbox,and can’t figure how to mod the damn towers. Anyone ?
Have you selected the tower? I know that sounds silly haha but when you select a tower, it brings up an interface where one of them you press and it opens up the mods menu
IMPORTANT
The level of tower effects what mods will be visible
Example, a red mod can only go onto a LVL3 tower
So if you're not seeing any of your mods when you open the tower, it could be because of the lvl of the tower 🙏
@@steelalphawolf Will try to screw with that when i get back home. I allways liked the Starcraft,and this game is somewhat simular,so i’m sold for now. Thnx.
12:18 Well I had 5 wall layouts but on the brutal difficulty that is not enough to stop the hordes of terror... ⊙﹏⊙∥
Hahaha ya since this video, brutal has gotten MUCH more challenging - it's basically a whole new level now - the hard of today is closer to the brutal back then
DUDE PLAY THE CAMPAIGN ON BRUTAL PLSSSSS
Haha I am 🙏 I just haven't had a lot of time to get far (remember I had to restart my whole campaign 😭)
I'ts pretty cool and goes pewpew.
Nice argument. lol
Yup, only science on this channel 🤓
literally went into the survival blind . didnt do the Campaign. made it to day 6 before the Golems Owned me.
Oooooohhhh ya - the Gnerots will WRECK you - that must have been traumatizing 😂
Big tip: typically when gnerots do start spawning, there will be one spawner that is ONLY gnerots, deal with that spawn FIRST with a bunch of rocket launchers or grenade launchers and then go deal with the rest of the spawns
Flamers are a joke...double purple flamers n it takes forever to kill normal enemies
Im sure I over do arty and rocket turrets lol
Haha flamers are good if you're up against enemies who are weak against fire damage
But ya beyond that, rockets with their range and splash are fantastic
It is good though to have a variety of ammunition turrets in case you run out of 1 ammunition
The mod for towers is badly implemented, maybe just 1/3 of the mod power add to all the tower of that type would had done it.
Hmm but that really wouldn't work if you have 50-100 of that tower
Plus in a game, you don't get THAT many mods and so the idea is to add them to selective important towers in a selective choke point
It's definitely not the cleanest system and in sure it'll get reworked, but for now, throwing it on your most valuable towers and choke points does make an impact
Tried this set up in normal and got my ass handed to me repeatedly
Haha ya this video is outdated compared to latest patches
I'll have to do an update :P
What difficulty were you on though?
@@steelalphawolf I was on normal campaign
I want to see a video of you or someone else giving me $1,000,000 USD. After taxes. No strings attached.
Oh man I'd love to see that too!
Let me know when that happens for you man! 🙏
It's crazy that a giant fusion plant only produces enough supercharged plasma to power 1 heavy artillery tower with no excess plasma to power a shield generator. Really poor design by the game dev.
Well it actually used to be the other way around - in the Alpha, you could do equal parts plasma to super charged plasma and it was just too easy :p
Fusion powerplant isn't supposed to be FOR plasma - just like the geothermal powerplant isn't supposed to be FOR mud, they're just extra by-products 😊
Supercharged plasma is THE hardest "resource" so it makes sense it would be that hard to acquire
@@steelalphawolf Now that I've gotten to tier 3 Fusion plant the plasma production is much better, 800 instead of the tier ones 100. I'd say it scales quickly so using force fields and heavy artillery isn't that hard.
@@steelalphawolf The plasma converter can also be upgraded to Tier 3 to produce 75 super charged plasma, and like K7 said, the tier 3 fusion plant producing 800 plasma makes it way easier. Heavy artillery towers everywhere! :D
@@k7gixxer1000 oof tier 3 fusion power is LATEEEE
Definitely feel like you can do ANYTHING at that point hahaha
@@lucasm5233 ya good point :)
Tier 3 building like that are super late game though so not very viable to beating the campaign (like by the time you have these things, you should have beat the campaign)
You also definitely wouldn't be able to do it in survival
BUT nonetheless these are awesome points and important to know as options!
Your making a video in defenses, and you have not tried all the towers out and can’t give information on them, also would have been nice if you show cased each one.. should just focus on going to Costa Rica be safe man good luck
Thanks for the feedback!
I never said that I did know them all so there's no need to assume I did - I only shared what I knew - the video is informative nonetheless, especially for those just starting out 🙏
This video needs an update... A lot of things are incorrect/misleading here.
Totally, I've mentioned it quite a few times in other comments that this is from release 😊
A lot has changed however I unfortunately haven't been streaming since!
Please refrain from blaspheming.
😂 thanks for the feedback? Look at the date of the video, it's naturally outdated 🙏
