Useful Tips and Tricks:
-----------------------
Written by MaceX

I am starting this guide in hope to players to give advice on tactics and 
strategies that work for them. My goal here is to give advice to new players 
and maybe even give experienced players something to try. I know that all ways 
listed are not the best ways. I am looking for tips and advice that work. For 
this guide, the idea is not about efficiency, but rather or not that it works. 
Hopefully it is something fun and new to try, I will state that I am not going 
to pull anything from anyone else’s guides but rather add advice and suggestions 
that others provide.

-=Tips and Tricks for Players - Advice From My Experience=-
These are just things that I noticed. They are organized in no real order other 
than the order that they came to mind.

The Emergency Explosion skill can be a life saver when swarmed by creatures. 
Also a good tool to draw in melee creatures and just detonate.

Getting Dash skill that leaves a elemental damage trail is a very good thing 
to have throughout the game. The first that I got was one that leaves a Fire 
trail. It is the easiest to create as it requires Cobalt, while the others use 
a different rare material. Although creatures in the Volcanic Region are 
resistant to it. I found Cryo my preferred version as few things seem to have 
resistance to it and it slows creatures down. Weak creatures that give chase 
normally don’t survive moving though the trail if they are chasing you.You can 
also turn it into a form of a wall by circling back around and get the creatures 
to chase you through it.

I believe that you can find the craft Schematics for these elemental effects 
inside some of the pillars that you drill into. The Dash and Emergency Explosion 
skills make it much easier to defeat the the mobs of small creatures that come 
after you when you start the drill. I also noticed that these Schematics are 
unlocked for all future Campaign and Survival modes. The pillars can also contain 
mods or resources, but those don’t carry over.

When a nest occurs on the map, you should try to destroy all of the eggs before 
they hatch as they seem to normally contain rare resources.

As much as some don’t like it, try to scan and grab samples of the creatures and 
plants as possible. You will receive more resources from plants at checkpoints as 
you gain familiarity. This is similar for creatures, but you also learn their 
strengths and weaknesses. You will also get damage bonuses again them. Also some 
creatures and plants need to be scanned to unlock some alien research.

Get to know your plants. I know that we like slicing them with out sword to get
 resources, but some explode. So learn your exploding plants. You can also kill 
enemy creatures by making the plant near them explode. Just make sure that you 
are out of blast radius.

My main weapons that I always have tried to keep on my are a Sword, Spear, and a 
Blaster. I also use others like High Caliber and Nukes.

Sword is good for slicing the plants and its wide attack area helps deal with weak 
creatures that are charging at you. Yes the hammer has a wide range, but is slows 
your movement.

The spear lets you keep larger melee creatures at a distance and can go through 
multiple creatures in a single strike. Unlike other melee weapons, a spear does 
cold damage. So creature like the Gnerot who has resistance to Physical damage, a 
spear is a melee weapon that can do good cold damage to them while keeping you out 
of there melee range. Due to it being cold damage, the creatures were also slowed 
down. Also on the exploding plants mentioned above, you can normally destroy the 
plants while staying outside the blast radius.

I suggest the blaster as it is ranged weapon that can be good early to mid game, 
Even late game. It is good against ranged creatures, primarily use while exploring. 
But not as useful against strong enemies. The main keys are that it has splash 
damage and uses no ammo. So also a back up in case you run out of ammo on your 
other weapons.

On the topic of ammo. The games doesn’t really tell you, but restocking on ammo and 
other items such as mines do cost resources. I learned the hard way as my resource 
deposits ran out while I was out exploring. I ran low on a resource because I was 
using ammo when I didn’t have any active Ironium being produced. I think this is 
also true for all skill items except for Emergency Explosion and Radar Pulse. Most 
likely won’t be an issue late game especially if you have Cultivators farms or 
Synthesizers set up.

In certain cases, you can use the environment and creatures against each other. I 
already mentioned the exploding plants. In the cases of things like meteor showers 
and Volcano Eruption events, it give you a warning on where things are going to hit 
the ground. It will also damage or kill any creature in the area of impact. This 
also goes for when creatures try using an artillery type attack on you. If you see 
an area of impact, whatever is in it will take damage.

I am going to assume that each map has its own raids on some timer. Although there 
must be of rerolled of the spawns every time one occurs. I was at an outpost to 
quickly add some additional mines that would be outside my main defended area. I was 
not ready for defense when I got the notification for an incoming raid. I didn’t want 
to deal with it, so I jumped back to a save to a few minutes before it sent the 
warning. I waited and it still occurred a few minutes later, but they were spawning 
from a different side. So I loaded again, but this time left the map to go do things 
in another map for a time. When I just jumped back to that outpost again, a raid was 
going to occur again in about the same time that it would have if when I reloaded. 
So I am going to guess that the timer pauses when you leave a map.

If you get a research option to handling a specific rare resource, always bump that 
to the top of your research queue. You can’t really do any major collecting or farming 
of a resource until it has been researched.


Related to the above statement. If you are Cultivators/Harvesting and a plant says 
that it produces a certain resource, you won’t collect that resource until you have 
researched its handling.

You should try to always use your geoscanner to see if there are any resources nearby. 
On at least 2 maps that I can think of, it is almost a mine detector. On that note, 
don’t rush those areas. While defusing one, you can set off another. They can do heavy 
damage. If you activate one, it normally gives you a visual warning by showing the 
blast radius and few second delay to try to escape.

From what I can tell, The research speed for Base and Weapon Research Trees are 
dependent on how many Communication Hubs you have and their building levels. The amount 
of Laboratories and their building levels effect the research speed of the Alien Research 
Tree.

The game advises you on using weapon with different types of ammo so that you don’t run 
out in battle. You also need to take that advise into account when building towers. 
They all use a specific type of ammo too.
