Raids and Bases

[MAKAIROSI]

So from what I gather, if I'm not mistaken, mining resources is calculated per map (so deposits get depleted even if you are on another map) but raids aren't factored in (most probably because it would have to simulate X times more entities). However, if I'm not mistaken again, max resources is per map, and not global, right? I mean, otherwise, I can simply delete my main base's resource depots, and just fill a low threat map with them.

So, like, the strategy is to go to low threat maps and research everything as it comes, then go back to medium/high threat areas again? Or am I playing this wrong? xD

In the alien research branch, there are buildings for growing and collecting plants (this gives infinite resources - any kind). These buildings and warehouses of resources and ammunition. As well as the Ammunition Factories for the Towers and Mr. Riggs. As well as buildings for research (both types). All of this can (and at high difficulty levels must) be built on cards with a low level of threat (the first three starting cards of the study). All resources except energy are global.

The OP is correct. HQ and Mining Outpost missions have periodic attack waves. So one can just spend time in the low threat maps building mining factories, storage, farms (while waiting for research to roll in). In fact, after every HQ upgrade, I only go back to HQ to upgrade Comms Hub, Armory, Labs (and ammo storage as needed). Rest of the time I'm doing other missions while my technology slowly builds up.
Max (mineral) resources is global as RockDemon said. So you can have storage anywhere and they all add up. I also like to pop bioanomalies in low threat maps as without a large base, there's more room to run around (and collect weapon mods).

I would also recommend moving the comm hubs, labs, armouries and ammo storage's off the HQ map.

thanks, great tipps.
