Like, not technically how, but emotionally? If I spend too much time messing around on a platform, critters inevitably attack my base. Even if I build a fortress, I worry that something will run out and guns will run out of ammo... or that something will run out and The Factory will grind to a halt. I could just stack up a vast area of capacitors and rely on lasers and a fission reactor, but is this really what you guys are doing?
How do you emotionally detach from Nauvis and commit to not being able to troubleshoot on the home factory? Heck, once I establish factories on other planets, how do I leave them to return to Nauvis and not worry that they'll be overrun??
When Space Age was released I restarted, solo, with a new base, and I'm getting close to building a traveling platform; how do I ensure the security of Nauvis before I depart?
(My first, and as yet only, station attached for giggles)
Biters attack because you attack them or they absorb too much pollution. Push the biters back so they are outside your pollution cloud
Now you only have to defend your pollution cloud from the biter expansion parties. Which are much smaller than attack parties.
