You should absolutely profilerate the fuel you are going to use in your mecha. Not only do you get more total energy, it also charges the mech up faster.

@@alexhoulston2528there is an item called proliferator made from coal, which when sprayed on items using spray coater building increases energy output in the case of energy items. When items are proliferated an assembler will also increase its output by the percentage of the proliferator base on its tier(mk1 12.5%, mk2 20% and mk3 25%).

Higher level sprays give a bigger bonus, but take more materials.

You can definitely control your ships manually. Enbale manual control mode by clicking the [all fleets] button up right, and hold ctrl key, you'll see a plane established according to the mecha position. Left click to order where you want your fleet to go. Hope this will be helpful to you

I was today years old when I found out Icarus could recharge its energy faster with more power towers (how much time I've wasted sitting under 1 tower, I don't know...) Also FYI, if you kill the space hive but there are still planetary bases, they will keep rebuilding the Hive with the matter collected from planets.

no need to get close, you can order your fleets to attack by selecting them with number keys then ctrl+clicking (although it is hard to aim)

Should watch out for seed ship (red ships in cluster map) coming to nearby planets. Good idea to destroy them early so they don't spread too close to fast. Destroying the hive doesn't mean peace forever.

Last time I played the game I made item assemblers that had different belt configurations based on the input / output ratios. If you have 2-1 input to 1 output, you can have two belts that share items between two sides of assemblers, but one line that is dedicated to each assembler to get 100% belt utilisation. A bit more tedious than having easily reusable configurations, but good for an end game build...

I enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. In this case, you connected the input and output to the same belt. 5:10

I was pretty shocked when those huge ships came close to my planet, they were so massive flying when I was looking up from my planet I thought they were going to land ontop of me

1:07 Can't wait for an update or/and mods which will allow DF pirate activities - so they can just steal matter they need. Thx for the video!

the sorter at 5:11 is wrong, and your supermagnetic ring build is running at 50%

It could be super cool to try your power and skill against real danger, but at the same time, it will make black holes extremely useless. they generate, as far as I remember, 5% of the energy of the starting star, so they will also be extremely protected. I think the developers should add some kind of encouragement to the players for clearing black holes. now their only use is a set of high speed through a bug for achievement, no more

i learned something if you want to make Nilaus size factories with dark fog parts you need to start farm dark fog parts very very early as it takes a huge amount of time to get them level 21 so (you farm them and keep on growing) maybe on another system just to farm those or something like that ..the hive also gets higher and higher i used one planet to farm it (lava one free energy for lasers) and made main base on another planet.

Merry Christmas Eve 😊

merry christmas nilaus

It is what it is

So starve the Darkfog of matter, wait for them to expend all their fighters then take out Hive. Hopefully the Darkfog are tougher in the non-starter systems. Would be anticlimactic if this strategy worked everywhere and on all difficulties.

Nilaus is playing on easy dark fog settings. If you wanna challenge, ramp up those before you start a game. The initial rush to make defence perimeter is fun 😅

Have you done a review on best missile mode? I think single burst is most effective but curious if any science has been done

You can make the fractionators much faster when you put stacked hydrogen in them.

If you hover over the core you'll be able to read a very long description lol, and towards the end it says it cost a great amount of energy and materials for the hive to create a seed which it then sends to another system to start a new hive And from my observation, the planetary bases send back vessels to the core to help rebuild after assaults or expand if left unchecked

i still don't know how did you manage to get everything on green, even if i have all the materials on inventory my game only turn green around the mech

Yup, REALLY needs an update to space combat. Want my carriers to haul the fighters. Also to be able to just sit back home while the combat is going on would be nice. Third....all that loot just lost in space.😢

So it's not really totally safe after you destroy a Hive in a system, right? I saw something called a "Seed" approaching my cleared system. So basically I think the Hive comes back to empty systems. Can someone confirm, because the Seed I saw is still on approach in my game.

5:19 how are you copying the sorters from 1 factory to them all, I must know plz

Anyone know what a destroyed core hive means? Killed their structure but did not get the tutorial congratulating me for killing the hive. It still shows on left hand side but just says Hive- core destroyed. I dont believe there are any relays on the three planets? Maybe on gas giant?? Anyone know whats going on

EVERY ONE TRY THIS.....strategy involves employing a warp drive for a localized warp through the Dark Fog Hive. Corvettes will be deployed to engage the enemy fleet, utilizing warp capabilities to swiftly transition to a specific planet. The automated replenishment system will continuously deploy corvettes from your hangar, allowing for sustained attacks originating from the planet.

In my case there was 3 left overs that cannot be destroyed. The squad destroyed everything and stopped helping me. There was just me and those 3 things. I started shooting them with missiles, makes no difference. Plasma bullets take very little of the life. Took me minutes to "destroy" one. Once life is zero is immediately goes back to 100. Cannot be destroyed. I guess the hive will grow back from them. I have no active relays in the system. I don't know what is happening.
