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 🐺
I’m just getting to this point in the campaign and was starting to feel overwhelmed with how to run these systems. This video definitely put my mind at ease. Good stuff, Thanks!
Super happy to hear that!! :D Thanks for tuning in!! Is there any other videos you'd love to learn from? I'm creating a towers video next most likely :)
@@steelalphawolf Honestly a thing that I think would help is Base layout optimization. I thought I was doing ok but now that the advanced structures are being built I’m having to run energy line and pipes across vital walkways. I’m running out of room for storage and energy production. It’s a mess now.
@@LouisMorais haha ya that's exactly it except that I'm moving to Costa Rica in 7 days so once I move, I won't be able to post anymore :p Hoping to get a few videos out before I leave 💪
Thanks brotha 🙏 I felt bad for my old how tos that were outdated lol so I decided to make this quickly 😁 Feel free to spread the video of course ❤️ Anything else you'd love to see a quick guide on?
Hey mate, great videos so far. Helped me out a lot! Thank you. Could you do a video on modifications? Weapon choices and passive upgrades and stuff? All around the mech gear? 😊 That'd be great.
I don't think they'll ever do underground - it's something the community brought up during the beta and alpha It just becomes too easy with that Personally what I'd like is that pipes be able to intersect without cross-contaminating liquids 🙏
Thank you so much for this guide. I literally just put a sludge to gas converter in mud and only one to a gas powerplant and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong hahaha I felt so dumb. Super addicted to this game now though! On my first playthrough on normal. I am excited to see more of your videos!
Awesome man!! Ya it's an incredible game, one of my top 3 of all time So many unique elements and truly amazing elements And so much more to come! You should check this article that just came out from the devs: store.steampowered.com/news/app/780310/view/3109168682952061265
HEADS UP I accidentally said you need supercharged plasma for shield generators even though I demonstrated that it's just REGULAR PLASMA 😍 Little mistake that a viewer mentioned 😊 thanks for the feedback!
Very informative video! I would just like to add to the Fusion power part is that Supercoolant Refinery requires 2 titanium and 2 of those make that -4/s. So if you want to use that make sure to have a good titanium economy or at the very least above the upkeep cost. The other option that was explained was to just use water which personally I find to be much more stable because of the geothermal vents and mud which is relatively plentiful at headquarters maps.
@@steelalphawolf while watching the video, i saw at 13:57 that it takes either -100 water or -50 coolant, and was wondering what advantage coolant would have when it is so much further down the research tree and probably would require more and different resources. (btw: i only just started playing this game)
So glad I found this to explain not even the nuances really but just the basic you need this building and then this building I feel is lacking in game. Still, yes, there's a lot to learn but this is a great tutorial.
Totally and part of the fun is figuring it out but sometimes, a guide like this is all you need 😎 you're welcome Might be making new ones in the next month or so
Great guide dude, i should add that while switching to gas power you sell all your plant biomass powerplants, they only give you 50 energy, the cultivator alone costs 50 energy and they also eat your valuable biomass that can go into more gas, also your storage is full, build more storage containers
Mmm ya smart - personally I skip the biomass powerplant entirely haha I'll rarely use it - maybe some desperate night cycles but with proper timing and batteries, you can survive nights without them And ya storage is a HUGE part of the game 💪
as a total beginner, i just built some bio powerplants to have them just in case i need them later quickly (and to jumpstart some energy in storages), and then set them all on pause to not unnecessarily use up the biomass when not needed. it would be nice if the different power generation methods (including storages) could have selectable priorities, so that eg wind and solar are used first (they use no other resources) and only then some other methods will be activated automatically, also with selectable options on storages (store all surplus, or use them before/after other power that uses up resources).
It would be amazing if you could do an overview video of survival mode, how you have to play to win, timing your tech, which towers and weapons to aim for etc. :D great content dude!
My pleasure! I felt it was needed - I've been seeing other tip videos that are just not nearly good enough too :/ Really wish I had more time to make more but we'll see what I can do! :)

@@steelalphawolf I'm mostly playing the campaign right now and don't have a lot of time to play. my biggest frustrations are when my power flickers but I'm hoping that will change once I implement a few things. I would love to see a walk through all technology maybe multiple videos of the different levels of defenses, energy, ore etc. so i can plan my ascension in the tech tree now matter where i play.
@@steelalphawolf to clarify. a user story lol - As a user of your videos and the game, I find my base cluttered and disorganized because i dont know whats possible in the future - I would like to watch your videos, get an idea of all the tech in each category and your preference/review of the items(1 category per video). This would give me the user the full knowledge to adapt my to different scenarios and plan ahead for what might be possible in the future.

So when you make gas powered plants near the sludge, with pump, storage, filter, gas plant, and battery storage. Will that power stuff at your main base or only power stuff it's connected to. I mean when you mine resources at a secondary spot. It fills the storage at your base. Wondering how power storage works.
Good question! So power is modular, not global Power sources will only power up whatever grid it's connected to So if you have a secondary mining location that is NOT connected to the main base, the main base will NOT get power P.s. it's always worth just running a power line from your main to all your outposts, then create storage at the outpost in case the line gets destroyed during an attack so your towers don't stop shooting during an attack, and then just reconnect the line after the attack 🙏
@@steelalphawolf look into a common problem... My global supply of carbonium was depleted when I went to a volcanic map in campaign. I read on reddit that its because my ammo factories were using all my carbonium because I wasnt on my HQ map.
@@MrExhibit right so ammo factories and the armorirs use your resources for ammo production which is definitely necessary but it doesn't use the resources if you are full ammo Also, as you run out of natural resources, cultivators and collectors are a powerful option because there's a plant for every resource in the game - just gotta set up massive farms 💪
Waiting for a guide for towers. Explaining different types of towers and what they are oprimum for. Getting my ass kicked by some long range attacks and those hard stone monsters.
@@MrExhibit love it - will do 💪 I've got a pretty standard layout that makes me not have to visit the walls other then to come watch with popcorn and sunglasses 😎
@@steelalphawolf yea i had a corrupt save problem on the desert mission to farm cactus I finished it.. Went back toy cobalt base to find more cobalt viens to make something for the desert base and it said corrupt save ony desert base so I had to do the desert cactus mission twice.. Where you have to take water from point A to B with pipes
@@senpaiRogue_ Ya that's a long one haha but fun! :D How were you able to redo it? Or did it ask you to redo? Cause I just crash as soon as I try to go to my HQ :( I still have the save file but not going into it anymore cause of that
@@steelalphawolf can't say I've crashed yet and I'm on xbox series S but after I got some more cobalt and tried going back to the dessert biome to add whatever it was i needed.. It came up with the save file for this mission is corrupt please start again or mission progress has been reset. So after doing the mission a second time I dropped a save before I went back to HQ and then travelled back there to make sure my progress wasn't reset again.
@@steelalphawolf but with your issue I couldn't really say what to do.. Unfortunately I'd think you might have to start again as I havnt ran into this problem myself yet
AHAHA that's rough!! Ya you can't fully rely on 1 source AND you gotta have loads of energy storage Quick tip: Have energy storage at each base / defensive point so that if power gets disconnected from a wave or something, your turrets stay active at least for the rest of the wave 🙏
@@steelalphawolf I've learned how to do gas power and drone - plant power as well. I'm now trying to get that rare mineral the D named one I forget tho lol I also stay toting duel miniguns so the maps are mine I just struggle figuring out how to have constant recourses no matter the weather
I am periodically having a bug where my gas filtering plants randomly shut down. They still have sludge flowing to them & are connected to empty gas tanks and plants that they refuse to fill, even though they were doing it before. The setup for gas power is pretty simple & its obvious that pipes are not directional. Anyone know how to work around / avoid this? Before I would turn the filter plant's power off then on again & it fixed it. Now they are stuck off & rebuilding them doesn't fix them either. Thanks and Happy New Year :)
Hmm and you don't have your pipes crossed with a different liquid ANYWHERE right? And I know this is obvious, but you're making sure that you're pumping flammable gas in? 🙂 Sometimes it's a silly thing and often not a bug, especially for gas - gas has been around for a long time so they fixed "all" the bugs haha
@@steelalphawolf Hello and thankyou for your reply and content. Yes I have checked all of that very carefully. I did discover early on that pipes can get their liquid mixxed up if you connect them wrong. I've got sludge from several pumps, going through several filters, gas from filters into several storages and from there to several gas power plants. Also the important thing is they work fine for a while and then randomly the filters refuse to continue. Has happened during more then one play through. I usually discover this when my base power shuts down, and my gas tanks will be empty. I am going to experiment with my save again tonight. My suspicion this time is that it can get confused by more then one category of input and output. Because originally I had just pumps, filters, and power plants. Worked for hours of gameplay. Then I piped gas from composters into the same gas storage tanks as the filters, and soon after I found the filters shut off. Not depowered... just refusing to convert sludge to gas. Ill reply here if I figure anything out. Wish you the best in your continued content creation! P.S. this game is amazing!
@@steelalphawolf Ok I checked my setup. My layout is pretty straightforward. Finally discovered the problem. The pumps had stopped pumping. No idea why. I turned them off then on again and they restarted. That is definitely a bug. I wonder if it happened after I upgraded them. I'll try to make a bug report. Anyone else experienced this problem? Cheers
@@mich5528 yes try turning the stalled building off then on again. That has worked for me so far. Most of the time it has happened with the gas filter plant, but happened once with the pumps themselves.
But here's that thing try to place 5 gas powerplants, the game breaks as gas power plant process using biomass is too math intensive and game breaking. And your power plants keeps shutting down periodically. and when you save the game it gets corrupted. so i suggest not to go above 3 per map if you don't have a powerful pc. Here's the better plan use Wind turbines in the place of gas power plant and you can generate 3k more energy in its place. Gas power plant is just waste of space as per this update.
Oof I disagree brotha I've got 12 gas power plants and 2 nuclear power plants on my HQ (Lots of wind too of course) But ya man gas is DEFINITELY worth it 🔥 I'll try to get a video out of my base layout to demonstrate 🙏
All that matters is the ratios 🙏 tooltip could be outdated Look out the production and consumption of each step in the build sequence 😊 You can see in my video what works and what doesn't very clearly 😁
@@steelalphawolf at 15:57 you have pointed out that you need supercharged plasma for shield generators, which you dont also in your older tutorial video - built the fusion power and mentioned how that ammount of supercharged plasma could source 40 of the shield generators. even the build was wrong since you dont need a single supercharged plasma for shield generators...
@@eurodrunkentiger right! Yes that's because in the beta and alpha, it used to be supercharged plasma and the ratios used to be very different then they are on release That's why I made this updated version But yes I accidentally said "supercharged" In this video even though I actually demonstrated regular plasma haha I'll make sure to pin a comment fixing that and add it to the description! Thank you 🙏
The whole power plant thing I find quite annoying honestly. You gotta build all these pumps, and stations, storage, harvesters, pipes, yada yada all for 500 power...ok cool. But you could just as soon just spam out a ton more wind mills and call it a day. Less brain breaking on all the mental math to set these things up..... I mean, sure, they are good, I guess.....but they are quite annoying. I can safely say in future playthroughs ill be increasing the power generation, or reducing it...which ever setting is in there. I find the power management just excessively annoying. Then how even if you connect your bases together throughout a map, your power readings constantly change leaving me always wondering whats goin on? WHy am I getting these numbers? Why is this zone producing negative power, but my gas pump is turned off, when it should be burning up its storage to produce power and yeah.......I like the game, but the power management has been on giant ass headache.
Ya it can be a lot for sure, but Once you're used to building them and their and you build a lot of them, you can make it much smoother - gathering all the liquids into one area of tanks, then funneling into one area of power plants It can become very fast And of course the equivalent in windmills in terms of space is a LOT of space for windmills haha so if you don't have that space, especially in the beginning of a map or in hard or brutal survival, power plants are necessary
@@steelalphawolf I dont mind power management, though I do feel we need WAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much of it. I wouldnt go for unlimited power, I would probably just make a mod that increases the windmills or something. 12 to 20, 20 to 30, 30 to 60 up from 12, 24, 48. I modest increase. I would probably also change those pump values cuz that shit is just annoying to manage. You either have to mcuh sludge or to much gas. One minute your pump is running fine, the next its not..... Is modding this game hard? Beyond the power mod, I would also make one that increases the sphere of influence on factory buildings. I hate having to build and rebuild multiple factories to get all the carbonium out of one spot. I would rather build 1 factory, maybe 2 on a single carbonium node and they harvest it AAALLLLLLL Increase production from 2 to 4 by default as well. 2, 4, 6 honestly. Maybe increase power requirements for it. IDK, it would be a whole rabbit hole. Once I start modding, I tend to get very carried away. One mod leads to another mod, leads to me modding half the game before I know it lol.

Very informative video! I would just like to add to the Fusion power part is that Supercoolant Refinery requires 2 titanium and 2 of those make that -4/s.
So if you want to use that make sure to have a good titanium economy or at the very least above the upkeep cost.
The other option that was explained was to just use water which personally I find to be much more stable because of the geothermal vents and mud which is relatively plentiful at headquarters maps.
Totally! Thanks for bringing that up 🙂
I love the cleanliness of having the supercoolants hehe but for sure water is more economical 🙏
@@steelalphawolf while watching the video, i saw at 13:57 that it takes either -100 water or -50 coolant, and was wondering what advantage coolant would have when it is so much further down the research tree and probably would require more and different resources.

And I know this is obvious, but you're making sure that you're pumping flammable gas in? 🙂
Sometimes it's a silly thing and often not a bug, especially for gas - gas has been around for a long time so they fixed "all" the bugs haha
@@steelalphawolf Hello and thankyou for your reply and content. Yes I have checked all of that very carefully. I did discover early on that pipes can get their liquid mixxed up if you connect them wrong. I've got sludge from several pumps, going through several filters, gas from filters into several storages and from there to several gas power plants. Also the important thing is they work fine for a while and then randomly the filters refuse to continue. Has happened during more then one play through. I usually discover this when my base power shuts down, and my gas tanks will be empty. I am going to experiment with my save again tonight. My suspicion this time is that it can get confused by more then one category of input and output. Because originally I had just pumps, filters, and power plants. Worked for hours of gameplay. Then I piped gas from composters into the same gas storage tanks as the filters, and soon after I found the filters shut off. Not depowered... just refusing to convert sludge to gas. Ill reply here if I figure anything out.
Wish you the best in your continued content creation!
P.S. this game is amazing!
@@steelalphawolf Ok I checked my setup. My layout is pretty straightforward. Finally discovered the problem. The pumps had stopped pumping. No idea why. I turned them off then on again and they restarted. That is definitely a bug. I wonder if it happened after I upgraded them. I'll try to make a bug report. Anyone else experienced this problem?
Cheers
@@Margis6 yes me too… my pumps do nothing , will check ur suggestion
@@mich5528 yes try turning the stalled building off then on again. That has worked for me so far. Most of the time it has happened with the gas filter plant, but happened once with the pumps themselves.
But here's that thing try to place 5 gas powerplants, the game breaks as gas power plant process using biomass is too math intensive and game breaking. And your power plants keeps shutting down periodically. and when you save the game it gets corrupted. so i suggest not to go above 3 per map if you don't have a powerful pc. Here's the better plan use Wind turbines in the place of gas power plant and you can generate 3k more energy in its place. Gas power plant is just waste of space as per this update.
Oof I disagree brotha
I've got 12 gas power plants and 2 nuclear power plants on my HQ (Lots of wind too of course)
But ya man gas is DEFINITELY worth it 🔥
I'll try to get a video out of my base layout to demonstrate 🙏
the tooltip for my gas filter says the one can support two gaspower reactors i dont get it
All that matters is the ratios 🙏 tooltip could be outdated
Look out the production and consumption of each step in the build sequence 😊
You can see in my video what works and what doesn't very clearly 😁
dont really get your point about the shield generators.. last video same built as here and s/g never needed supercharged plasma, but plasma.
Sorry I don't totally understand your comment 🤔 can you rephrase please? 🙏
@@steelalphawolf at 15:57 you have pointed out that you need supercharged plasma for shield generators, which you dont
also in your older tutorial video - built the fusion power and mentioned how that ammount of supercharged plasma could source 40 of the shield generators. even the build was wrong since you dont need a single supercharged plasma for shield generators...
@@eurodrunkentiger right!
Yes that's because in the beta and alpha, it used to be supercharged plasma and the ratios used to be very different then they are on release
That's why I made this updated version
But yes I accidentally said "supercharged" In this video even though I actually demonstrated regular plasma haha
I'll make sure to pin a comment fixing that and add it to the description! Thank you 🙏
Does anyone know which plants give Palladium when selected in the Cultivators?
I don't off the top of my head but I'll try to check my campaign map :)
In the desert area?? Purple cactus Theres a mission for it to extend a pump all the way to a cactus field to farm it with cultivators and harvesters
@@senpaiRogue_ Thanks for supporting!!
I think that's for hazenite though, not Palladium though
@@steelalphawolf Found it! Just had to scan plants on the Palladium mission.
@@Francisah Well done! What's the name of the plant? :D Is it a cactus?
The whole power plant thing I find quite annoying honestly.
You gotta build all these pumps, and stations, storage, harvesters, pipes, yada yada all for 500 power...ok cool. But you could just as soon just spam out a ton more wind mills and call it a day. Less brain breaking on all the mental math to set these things up.....
I mean, sure, they are good, I guess.....but they are quite annoying.
I can safely say in future playthroughs ill be increasing the power generation, or reducing it...which ever setting is in there. I find the power management just excessively annoying.
Then how even if you connect your bases together throughout a map, your power readings constantly change leaving me always wondering whats goin on? WHy am I getting these numbers? Why is this zone producing negative power, but my gas pump is turned off, when it should be burning up its storage to produce power and yeah.......I like the game, but the power management has been on giant ass headache.
Ya it can be a lot for sure, but Once you're used to building them and their and you build a lot of them, you can make it much smoother - gathering all the liquids into one area of tanks, then funneling into one area of power plants
It can become very fast
And of course the equivalent in windmills in terms of space is a LOT of space for windmills haha so if you don't have that space, especially in the beginning of a map or in hard or brutal survival, power plants are necessary
But ya if you're not into the power management, you can probably find an infinite power mod and build one windmill hahaha
@@steelalphawolf I dont mind power management, though I do feel we need WAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to much of it.
I wouldnt go for unlimited power, I would probably just make a mod that increases the windmills or something.
12 to 20, 20 to 30, 30 to 60 up from 12, 24, 48. I modest increase.
I would probably also change those pump values cuz that shit is just annoying to manage. You either have to mcuh sludge or to much gas. One minute your pump is running fine, the next its not.....
Is modding this game hard? Beyond the power mod, I would also make one that increases the sphere of influence on factory buildings. I hate having to build and rebuild multiple factories to get all the carbonium out of one spot. I would rather build 1 factory, maybe 2 on a single carbonium node and they harvest it AAALLLLLLL
Increase production from 2 to 4 by default as well. 2, 4, 6 honestly. Maybe increase power requirements for it. IDK, it would be a whole rabbit hole. Once I start modding, I tend to get very carried away. One mod leads to another mod, leads to me modding half the game before I know it lol.
Play the campaign
Lol I do play the campaign - I actually had to restart cause I was hitting a crash where I couldn't teleport back to my headquarters haha
Any particular reason for the statement? :)
