i made the mistake of trying to learn Space Age on my own without reading spoilers.

i managed to get to space, build a platform, and seek out a new world. i though Gleba sounded pretty cool, so i went there first.

after much frustration, i am finally starting to get iron and copper made from a yumako & jellynut farm, but i needed more seeds for more production; i went searching for more jellynut to process by hand.

i just died in the middle of one of the bigboi nests (the only shooty thing i had was a few laser defense systems), and can't get back to my body easily.

i still have pretty much zero production - what is a decent strategy to kill the thick furry big spiderbois? i really want to grab my body because of my lack of production. this was my first encounter with a fuzzy spiderboi, and i dont really understand their kit.

i really dont want to look online because i enjoy figuring out most stuff on my own - i dont want a lot of guidance on the things i am trying to figure out.

i ask about these fuzzy spiderbois because i am worried i will make a few poor attempts and find it too frustrating to continue (gleba has really tested my patience so far, heh).

If your platform is still alive, you can send it back to Nauvis and pick up some supplies to help give you a kick start. The same applies for all the planets but will become a necessity when you get to Aquilo which can never be self sufficient.

whoa - i didnt realize i could send the platform back and forth nor send stuff from the platform down to the planet. thank you! i'll try this out for a kick start <3
