resin spread

[gwackmung]

how do i stop the soft resin from spreading into my base area? do i just kill the hive minds,,,ive been farming em for liquid resin but the whole horizon is just a mass of creeping soft resin now and getting close to my base.

To stop soft resin you have to build turrets which kill the tunnel nukers that fly towards your CPH from diagonal directions

OR

Build walls of reinforced wood, reinforced wood, multiblock stuff or machines on the diagonal directions so tunnel nukers can't get close (they turn everything other into soft resin)

Is it soft or hard resin? Nukers come from Overmind. Hivemind makes hard resign.
When Nukers explode, it will create soft resign in the earea. If there are no blocks --> No soft resign.

To further clarify what's been said: the overminds (the enormous things with 4 red eyes on stalks) periodically check the line between spawn points next to themselves and your CPH. If there are one or more blocks in the way of that line they spawn a tunnle nuker along that path. These blow up the blocks directly hit and convert nearby blocks to soft resin. Once there are clear lines of flight between all four overminds and the CPH, tunnel nukers stop spawning.

Unlike hard resin, soft resin can be cleared away fairly easily, either by hand with even the first build gun, or with workfloor excavators.

ahh ok it must be the nukers causing it i thought it was creeping out from the hiveminds

[gwackmung]

ok so just to be clear does the soft resin spread out from the hiveminds or do they build only hard resin and all the soft stuff is from nukers exploding...?

Thinking about: Close to my base...

hiveminds build only hard resin

if tunnel nuker hits hard resin then it turns into soft resin (easy way to scan hivemind and destroy it to get brain)

I assume this is P19?
