tech tree guide

[Cranked]

is there any source of information pertaining to an efficient tech tree path to focus on, for those aiming to learn? me and my friends have tried the campaign at varying difficulties, but always get stuck at Cape Storm. at this point im not above asking for help/knowledge about what I should be going for, rather than stabbing in the dark (and getting eaten alive)

i cant point you to any guides, but i could give you my tech progression and maybe that helps.
i didnt encounter any problems with it on nightmare (played about 80% of the maps on nightmare), besides on "The Narrow Pass" where i had to switch to brutal.

Steam Technology > Assault Rifles > Expert Workshops > Global Farming > Commerce > advanced construction > Concrete > Chemistry > Autonomous Weapons > Logistics > Gold Transportation > Wood Transportation > Stone Transportation > Iron Transportation > Tesla Coils > Plasma Spheres > High Voltage Ionizer > High Risk Defences II > Reinforced Concrete.

this is specifically the point where i did cape storm with only loosing like 3-5 walls, i also had 2+ optional missions left for atleast 480 research points.

not saying this is the best way, but it definetly worked for me.

Myn recommendation is: odd similar to the guy above to show you how effective it is. His might be slightly better for a newer player as myn was aimed at my apoc.

Rush farm
Rush wasp Doing the first few mission with ranger so you have for swarms. One swarm need to be done with rangers the easy swarm can get soilder first if you want.
Soilder
iron transport
Shock tower and plus 1 range
Stone wall (cape storm happens just after getting this is following map route mentioned below)
Wasp transport
Titan

What ever from there but recommend improving solider and shock towers then getting stuff to make food and enerfy more effective.

I suggest skipping narrow pass and cape storm and heading north till nest of the harpies. You can do nest at this point even but slightly harder so only if you can. This gives you access to many hero missions and rp. So returning to narrow pass than cape storm becomes easy as those to are noticeably harder.

Doing this I did cape storm on apoc with only losing a single wall.

Note can take shock tower before iron transport than get plus one range after iron transport to do cape storm at a much earlyer point. This helps you avoid needing to do nest witch is a harder mission for new players till after even more tech.

ah i see, thanks for the tips guys. my mission order was always hidden valley > last bunker > crossroads > hunter's meadow > coast of bones > cape storm, with hero missions as i got to them.
