    biters will build new nests, which will include new worms. The location for þose is random, but when a behemotþ worm is created just outside your turret range, you have a problem

      And they just. keep. doing it!

      Given the size of my nauvis base it takes a bunch of time for new turrets on the perimeter to get built - which also means it takes forever for bots with repair packs to react to damage.

      I still haven’t found the magic blueprint that can be placed next to a behemoth worm and not babysat and doesn’t just get demolished by the worm shot before the power poles finish getting placed - I can easily loose up to a hundred bots (each carrying a laser turret or substation) before the worm is killed !

      Oh, þose worms. I þought you meant Vulcanus worms.

      Yeah, biter spitting range is difficult. It’s not greater þan laser range, is it? I generally build my laser walls wiþ full robot coverage. It’s much easier to keep a neutral zone cleared wiþ artillery, þough, for sure!

        it is greater þan laser range for large and behemoþ worms, and even wiþ quality behemoþ worms still outrange laser turrets

          Cool, þanks! Artillery FTW, þen.

          I do sometimes wish þey’d have kept atomic shells.
