Destroy an Insect nest

[🅱⭕🅱R⭕D⭕🅱R⭕🍷]

So, there is such achievement as "Destroy an Insect nest".
Are there any benefits from destroying all of them? Will they make attaks not so frequent or not so large?

You can get carbon tubes from destroying the nests. 10 per nest iirc and thats it, doesnt affect attacks or anything else from my experience.

Once you kill the guardians and destroy the main nest you can mine the nodes for nano tubes. So yeah you will want these if you play long enough.

I am not aware of the nests playing any part in any attack in any way. They may and maybe I have just never seen it but I have 3 games over 4 years and have never interacted with nests except to mine them afterwards.
If someone thinks otherwise then I will not dispute their observation but I have never seen them do anything but guard the nest.

Ah excellent, I stand corrected.

Personally I didn't feel like the nests were a good time investment, but it might have been because all of the nests that popped for me were like half a days running while drafted away, so I haven't gone and checked them out.

I will say that when you get to nanotubes, the 3D printing doesn't take long and is relatively low cost. I've got scrap metal coming out of my ears and making fuel from the insect attacks gives me more than enough products to make the nanotubes. It's also a handling job, which is nice, and you can get a breakthrough tech which allows you to 3d print other things, which reduces crafting load a fair bit.
