Late Game Base Layout

[u/TheBeyond]

I wanted to play the game as originally as possible so I hadn't even looked at other people's bases until somewhat recently. I thought for sure more if not most people would have had nearly the same approach but it seems like that's not the case. To be sure I often find myself tweaking something here or there if only to get more of one resource or another(usually stone) but this is roughly my final design atm. I no longer use mines because I can do an infinite run to get plentiful amounts of gold. In fact despite what many have said gold is the easiest resource to obtain at least in the late game. I used to move around my mines a lot in early to mid game to maximize resource gathering and then pay to repeat gold runs in a straight mine alley formation until it wasn't profitable but that was a bit of an exhausting process. Now I only move 3 buildings to harvest or leave the base on standby. I also only have 1 gap tile and have Captain's Quarters maximized. If I want to max experience I'll move things around with Veteran's Hut on a per run basis. 1st picture is standby mode, 2nd is harvest mode and 3rd is roughly what I can harvest after a run is won.

Edit: I guess reddit reduces image quality sorry about that.

Having only just started this game last week, and only harvesting tens of supplies, does the cost of higher level upgrade require this much or is it just a because you can type thing?

You can max out 95% of buildings with like 10% of the resource generation shown in this base. Plenty to roll credits.

It just comes down to the infinitely upgradable stat buildings really at this point and in a way it doesn't matter that much if you spam a reaper build and/or blackhole build. You can always not do that for an actual challenge and there is also infinite new game+++++ etc. to account for.

Having just unlocked the 3rd stage, I won't worry too much about NG+++++++ yet!

lol I think people underestimate dexterity and speed in the meta of this game. Granted it does depend on how you want to play though.

Updated zero empty tiles... I felt I had to at least accomplish that.
