i made the mistake of trying to learn Space Age on my own without reading spoilers.

i managed to get to space, build a platform, and seek out a new world. i though Gleba sounded pretty cool, so i went there first.

after much frustration, i am finally starting to get iron and copper made from a yumako & jellynut farm, but i needed more seeds for more production; i went searching for more jellynut to process by hand.

i just died in the middle of one of the bigboi nests (the only shooty thing i had was a few laser defense systems), and can't get back to my body easily.

i still have pretty much zero production - what is a decent strategy to kill the thick furry big spiderbois? i really want to grab my body because of my lack of production. this was my first encounter with a fuzzy spiderboi, and i dont really understand their kit.

i really dont want to look online because i enjoy figuring out most stuff on my own - i dont want a lot of guidance on the things i am trying to figure out.

i ask about these fuzzy spiderbois because i am worried i will make a few poor attempts and find it too frustrating to continue (gleba has really tested my patience so far, heh).

I read enough accounts of pain on Gleba to want to start elsewhere. Vulcanus is cool but I didn’t want to mess around with the worms (and cliiiiiiiffs, so many cliffs) until I had the mech suit, so I ended up heading to Fulgora first. I really liked fighting the environment (lightning) instead of mobs, and the mech armor + recyclers aren’t too hard to get your hands on. Pentapods are a lot less threatening now : D

Honestly vulcanus is easy without the suit. You generally start in an area with a good clear space, cliffs in one area, and lava in another so production is not hard to kick off.

Tap for spoilerThe worms aren't as bad as I thought. Tank with Uranium rounds or a stack of turrets and a shit tonne of ammo
