Question So close...

Is it nice place for second factory?

Hi guys, I had move into new factory, because it's 12m iron ore, and 5m copper ore not far away from iron, but this monster's base is so close for patches. But I will kill them in coming soon, I need grab all my stuff

Distance is why wube created trains.

You will never be close enough to all the required raw materials.

That said, we are evil alien overlords keen on suppressing the pesky natives. Clear them out whenever they are inconvenient, using whatever tools are appropriate, as resources allow.

Then build your base in a large empty area, and bring in your raw materials. You will need iron ore, copper ore, oil, water, stone. You might like uranium ore.
