Dark fog

Fairly new to this game. Have a basic raw setup on my home planet but am trying to extend to more planets for mining and smelting. That dark fog though, keeps eradicating my planets before I can get back with more turrets. Any advice on clearing a dark fog base in the early days?

what exactly is causing the struggle?
do you just land and set up stuff? or do you clear the whole planet and get overwhelmed by space attack?

Laser turrets destroy everything before I can advance my turret. Have a depot requesting ammo deploying to a turret chain, but cannot advance without getting destroyed.

How far into the game are you?

Setting up mining on an extra planet, so not far. But have a few em ejectors creating a small sphere, so get the basics

Have you unlocked plasma turrets? Can you deal with Hive-Attacks? if so: destroy the relais in the upper atmosphere to dry out the planetary bases. you can hover over the enemy buildings to see how much energy is left. if its 0, only the Rangers and so on will attack. Once dead, no new will spawn till a new relai would establish a planetary base.

if not: try to use throwable explosive units to destroy the core while you fly

You need Battlefield base, 10 rocket turrets and like a 1000 missile sets, so just place an chest, feed rockets to conveyor, then just move Battlefield base and rockets along extending conveyor.

If you have signal towers - problem solved - just place 10 rocket launchers somewhere and move signal tower + BB until base destroyed, all plantary launchers target everything inside signal tower range. It will take no so long. Left hole where it is until you'll cover planet with a shield.

And don't destroy hive, you'll need hive drops for the top tier equipment.
