From Glory To Goo 150%, Roboticist, Seth 148, Settler, No Pauses, vs The Brain

Game is pretty hard since you're balancing a lot of eco and different systems and there aren't any hotkeys or control groups, so you have to unit hunt for micro but it's still playable even without pausing.

It seems like the current meta is to spam a ton of walls since they don't have upkeep. Androids are good and I could have farmed xp for the trait to spam them, but I mostly just wanted centurions to kill destroyers. Theoretically you could replace laser turrets with androids in bunkers for less effort/pop upkeep.

So far what works for me is ignoring research until effort economy takes off, even delaying robotics until t2 hubs since they are kind of expensive for their effort generation from t1 hubs. Then focusing on turtling and upgrading ship since it's a resource sink that doesn't have effort upkeep and can clear out hordes.

Still have a lot to learn about how all the systems interact and actually applying what I know in practice
