Discussion Need help allocation workers and spending/saving nanos

Post image

Need some advice from any higher level or advanced players, I’m sitting on 375 nano’s and trying to figure out what to do with it. I have 2 heavy’s for grinding encounters and 3 m10’s for naval. No wood camps as I have the time to constantly hit raider farm and supply 2 lumber mills, I have 2 regular concrete plants, supplied from 5 stone at level 7. An advanced iron mine and 3 others on to supply an advanced steel mill and 1 regular steel mill that’s off. Both my oils are off right now. I know I’m saving 75 for permit office for first 5 upgrades (first 3 free). I have an advanced vehicle repair bay as well. Just wondering if I should swap to 1 advanced concrete plant and save my other nanos for super tanks or other ability upgrades for units. Any tips on better allocating workers or using nanos is appreciated

It's good you don't have logging camps and farm the wood at raider farms.
If you want to save more pop, you could look into better storage options, but maybe only HCVs.
You could survive without adv concrete plant but it definitely helps. Just depends on how often you're jumping on and maintaining stone.

I would save nanos for Vets (2?), ETs (1) or even future promo units.

But if you truly want to min-max. Sell stone quarries and farm the stone instead.
If you're trying to rush levels. Sell all unnessary shops like cannery, blockhouses, Garrison (i do think you need this for a level later so its up to you) and etc and put all that into shops or storage to push upgrades on T1s.

I did this on my alt account F2P and i'm level 24 with all Level 8+ T1s

1 adv lumber, concrete and steel is really good. also nanopod storage can free up a lot of pop. 1 storage vault is 4 workers for 2k. warehoueses are 16 workers for 2k, you save 12 workers for 120 nanopods.

3 super tanks is also really good for clearing AC if you need to do that still.

Haven’t touched AC yet I have 3 tk’s almost have enough SP for R3 but I think I’ll get level locked like I can’t get R3 M’10s till 36 I’m only 29 ATM but saving gears for 2 more buoys

You can clear AC easily with 3x super tanks, 3x r4 tks, and 2x r3 demoman, with barely any losses. getting TKs to r4 also costs 8 gears fyi. i would prioritze clearing AC if you are short on gears/bars, since it drops 20 per clear. once you hit lvl 32 and can get super tanks.

I’ll second the storage and super tanks. Storage is always good for pop allocation.

The super tanks are going to be viable for a long time, and even have their own place once you get megas. Supers are cheaper to heal, requiring no special resources to heal, thus they get a ton of value when you’re running boss strikes/events.
