What exactly do you have a problem with? Neat thing is that if you drag resources into the position directly beneath your Dome you can just release them and they'll get to the dome on their own

OP didn't make it clear, but I assume he thinks the next wave increase is a bit overtuned. I don't have the game open but it increases wave strength by something like 300% and +80 while while I've not tried it myself, sounds like a lot.

That's kinda neat, but challenge mode is bit hard to me, I guess. Wave of challenge mode is too strong.

Yeah it's apparently been adjusted now. I tried a few of the challenges yesterday and yeah the waves were too strong.

the issue here for me was that there is not enough cobalt to upgrade and repair, before the attacks become really tough. Not just a 'get good' issue , more a balancing one, Imho that is.

Reverse Gravity is basically free Lift, so combo with Assessor tossing stuff to center line. Drill is a good gadget to get for your shaft, but really the one that lets you control your dome from the shaft is amazing for this challenge, you literally never have to return to the surface since the gravity sends all your resources up for you. It does make things that you have to actively grab as they are produced, like worms, less valuable.

In my experience so far the challenge is even reaching the point where you can get the "stop at the centre" upgrade. You have to spend all your resources on battle upgrades just to hold out

Which you don't get enough resources to really do that lol, and for some reason it doesn't even start with an extra gadget lol. Either way it's one of the overtuned challenges atm and needing some adjustments, all those 300% scalers are out of tune atm while people wait for some more patches to get them back down to more balanced levels.

Yeah, I've stopped bothering to play atm because all I have left are these 300% challenges I've no idea how to even begin to beat.

For sure, no harm at all in waiting for some more balance patches to hit to get things back under proper tuning, there's lots of games coming out lately to play in the meantime!

I did manage to find a bit of a cheese strat that seems to work (Artillery, Deafening Blast supplement to help stun anything that gets close while the Droneyard's Battle Drones help clean up alongside some other defensive gadget, prevents a lot of incoming damage and keeps you alive to get more iron and stuff), but I don't think the developer intended challenge levels to only be beatable in one hyper specific way.

Same. I've beat all the challenges except for the ones with 300% multipliers. My Steam Deck has become in imminent danger of getting smashed, so I've stopped for now. lol

Seriously though, I really love this game. Some people suggested it in one of the SD Steam Summer Sale threads and I've been hooked ever since. Was shocked to find out that it's been out since '22. This new update has taken the game to another level. I can't stop recommending it to all my gamer buddies.

Oh, same with me! Except this challenge, I enjoyed all of the updates. I still love this game, but seriously, this level... is too annoying, I think.

It just seems like the Challenge difficulty is either you get lucky early with iron/equipment/supplement so that you can stabilized the battlefield to have a chance to win, or get wiped by wave 7-8 with no in-between. The few ones I've managed to beat I'd say came completely down to getting lucky with finding iron deposit groups than my actual skill at the game.
