Purple creep and how to dispose of

[ToolDaddy]

I will not spoil anything, but lets say im on a level where im getting overrun by purple creep and i cannot seem to stop the wave. it just steamrolls me no matter what i put up against it. Even tried building a wall, wich seemed to increase the flow of the purple stuff and ended me even quicker.

Tips appreciated against fighting the purple stuff.

Apparently anticreeper is the "counter" to purple stuff.

"crimson creeper" is 5X as resistant to weapons. but just as vulnerable to anticreeper as normal creeper.

It's generally not a bad idea to just flood your front lines with anticreep. If your inner base is vulnerable, flood that too, set your spray turrets to 'always on' and it should help make your life easier. It'll blunt the flow of creeper while also softening blows from missed blobs or spores. If you've made it to erns, I'll sometimes put an ern on a mine just for extra anti-creep. (works for energy emergencies too.)

If you're relatively new, you might not know that you can select the 'dispatch ore' option on your spray towers (and only dispatch ore) and they'll pick up any anti-creep they're sitting in to be sent elsewhere. The third option will pull anti-creep to the tower, but if you're trying to dispatch ore with multiple towers, it really doesn't work that well.

I didn't even know you could do that. thank you for those tips.

3rd option to attract AC can also be used to gather AC like a cache and then release it to make a huge tidal wave if you want as well. Works especially well if you have your sprayer in a pool of AC. Whether or not this is more effective than other methods of using AC though is up to your imagination.

btw try to read the dialogues guys ^^

That crimson creeper is pretty resistant to normal firepower and you have to counter it with Anti Creeper is mentioned by your fellow AI's.
