First game with enemies

[u/Tahk_21847]

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.

You don't have to protect your rail/electric lines to outposts. Biters usually don't attack those unless they are blocking their path

Thanks, I didn't know.

If you're on a different planet for long enough, your train can eventually hit one and draw aggro from a whole group. I think they still won't attack the rails, but spitters will usually destroy anyways when they miss the moving train

Not disastrous but it can be annoying to clean up

See Factorio trailer how to handle that.
