Hi guys,
I am a noobie. I am currently walled in with flame throwers protecting me from these biters but I feel like I need more Oil flow. I want to break out and get to the oil in the south. I just unlocked bots not too long ago. I could research a tank too.
How should I go get that oil? Should I build a train path too it and wall it in and then defend that train path with exterior walls?

You don't need to defend rails
You can just make train tracks to the oil defend the oil and harvest that black sticky goo

Oh so I can just make a perimiter around that, fuel the flame throwers from that and then make train enterances and exits

Walls can be done from water edge to water edge
I just thought you were walling the water out

so would you just blaze a path to the oil with like a tank full of the resources then throw down the blueprint and connect the oil jacks? What about power though?

oh ok didnt know they wont attack those

Bitters don't go out of their way to attack anything that isn't a military target or a polluter
mild edge
ah

But they WILL attack things blocking their path and throw a fit
These can often be belts
Belts fuck with biters pathing a lot

If you have rockets you can push the biters back. A tank with explosive rounds works well before behemoth biters start spawning. I personally would just annex a large chunk of map to the south of your current base for the uranium and 2 oil patches.

This is the absolute hugest “newbie” base I’ve ever seen. My god. You have better rail infrastructure than I do and I’m on Aquilo. How are you asking about getting oil if your base looks like this?

Haha well to be honest I really like the trains and did some research about them and found city block blueprints and have been using those! I think the blueprints I copied make my base look more advanced then my understanding of the game is haha

What blueprints did you use?

I love the progression from track spaghetti on the east side of the base to a super neat city block on the west side
its like one of those tapestrys showing a civilizations progress through history

Tank may still work, especially if you load up its equipment grid.
