Lumencraft – How to Defend Your Base

All you need to know

see screenshots:

1) build a door in the path of the attackers; close to your reactor – but with enought space to array 3-4 rows of turrets

2) build two walls in 90 degrees angle to the left and right

– 1 Turret and a turret for yourself is enough for the beginning

– equip yourself with a repair gun an post yourself just behind the door; if enemies attack the door – and they will attack only the door! –, repair it; 2 guns are enought for the start (each wave!); later you’ll need 8 per wave

3) make sure you all other space around your reactor ist closed either by mud/stone or walls

– make sure your door is the weakest point in your defense wall system

4) build more and more turrets just behind the doors – snipers are best; just some MGs; some bombs, أيضاً

4) build a second and later a third door

– always just close 1 door! – to make the door APPARENTLY still the weakest point of your defense

– in later waves, if the outermost door is near to breach, just retreat a step behind the second and close it; repeat repairing this one

5) reinforce the angled walls at your door

– with the time, reinforce your walls with a second and a third row (can be the cheapest; later reinforce the outer ones to lv2 where needed)

– protect your doors additionally with foam

– always look out to leave a free path from your door to the reactor even for the big guys – else, they will attack elsewhere

Underlying mechanics

– bugs will attack the least reinforced side of your base on their way to your reactor

– so building thick walls in the main route will only lead to bugs attacking from another side – an thus making your reinforcements useless

– you will want the bugs attack just one side of your base over and over again: where your gun nest is

– so you have to make the wall in front of your guns the weakest

– problem: it won’t stand the later waves

question: how to make a wall that ist APPARENTLY weak to attract (nearly) ALL bugs – but strong enough to last the biggest waves?

answer: an array of 3 أبواب – just one closed at a time – with in a wall array of 1-3 walls/earth around your core
