how to stop biter nests from spawning?

[-VG- Napster]

Clearing them out in early game even with better ammo and armor and car seems to be impossible :(. Do radar´s "line of sight" help to prevent them spawning in these areas?

[Cougarific]

No but new nests will not spawn within a certain radius around player-built stuff, so you can drop some power poles or belts down (both are non-polluting) once you've cleared a nest to keep another nest from spawning in that area.

And a general tip: Don't mess with nests until you build a tank (and ammo for it). They're more trouble than they're worth until then. But once you have a tank, maybe some power armor, a flamethrower 'n such, clearing nests becomes trivial (for a while, anyway).

Tank and Flamethrower are underwhelming.
Power Armor with combat shotgun and some capsules are a lot faster.
Before that stage i'd rather build big power poles with a laser turret ring and kill nests with those rather than wasting resources on a tank.

in my opinion biters are way to hard on "regular" in early game, i find it pretty annoying that the spawners spawn them so frequently that , as iam on foot with maschine gun not able to take them out as they spawn in pretty much 1 second again. ( hate it that i have to research so long to be able to to anything about them on foot ) . the placing walls with turrets tactic and then placing them some meters more nearer to the enemy spawn is annoying tactic

Don't need a laser turret ring, just bring 4.

Put two down, throw down another power pole, move down to edge of power pole, toss other two down, if those two are not engaged with a nest go back and take down the ones in the back.

Repeat until they engage a nest, let them kill the nest and walk down the next set until the entire colony is dead.

Unless it's some unholy nest of baddies that continously spawn and keep the turrets firing constantly (or worse actually get damage on the turrets) you should be fine.

It it is an unholy nest of monsters, walk the forward ones back and set a defensive posture until you can get more laser turrets.

All you need to do is get close enough to start engaging the nests.

They are only hard on "regular", if you polute them...

I shut down the base some times to have a small polution.
And you should stay close to trees with the base, as it cleans the polution much faster.

You can see the polution on the radar map, if one time pressed ALT key. If you can't see any polution (after pressed the ALT key), it might be set to off in your settings, but you can change it on the fly.

In the early game turrets are the best way to kill nests. Get the piercing bullets put 3 or 4 down at a save distance and work your way forward.

Defender capsules are nice for distraction
Poison capsules are amazing vs the worms
Grenades if a big group chases you and you got no turrets
