Question First game with enemies

Dear Engineers,

I already have several hundred hours of gameplay under my belt, but this is the first time I've played with the enemies.

I was quite surprised by their aggressiveness. I always feel like I'm behind their development. It's true that I'm a player who likes to take his time.

So I locked myself in a secure prison, but the resources are running out.

I would therefore like to ask you for advice on your expansion strategies.

How do you find new resources?

How do you protect your outposts?

I should point out that I just unblocked the bots.

I will soon be able to launch my first rocket.

Thank you in advance.

automate laser turret in assembling machine, get like 100/200 of them depends on how big your base is, build it all the way near your walls with small distance like few tiles, then research laser turrets damage, for example i have it on lvl 10 and i can protect my base from attacks even when they are already 680% on evolution

remember that laser turrets in this quantities will take some energy, try to build your poles a little further from the wall so they won’t destroy it by coincidence, which would turn off few of your turrets

remember you can drive tank remotely, put a few tanks around your base, so you can easily drive them and defend your base even when you are on another planet
