Combat Update is here. This update adds a new planets (asteroid) where you face enemy drones as negative event. Every 5 mins, a group of stronger alien drones will try to damage your base, you will need to build turrets to destroy them.

This update also adds a new game mode, "Base defense mode" where you can also play any planet you unlocked previously as a tower defense game, where the negative events turn into the attackers trying to destroy your colony.

You have 3 type of turrets that perform differently;

Defense Tower

• Purpose: General-purpose tower designed to handle groups of smaller enemies effectively.

• Attack: Rapid fire with medium range and damage.

• Special Ability: Can prioritize targets based on proximity, focusing on clearing close threats quickly.

• Best Use: Ideal for crowd control and protecting key areas against swarms of enemies.

Sniper Tower

• Purpose: Long-range tower specialized in eliminating high-priority single targets.

• Attack: Slow rate of fire with very high damage and extreme range.

• Special Ability: Critical shots that deal extra damage to enemies with high health.

• Best Use: Perfect for taking down armored units, bosses, or enemies at a distance before they get too close.

Missile Tower

• Purpose: Area-of-effect (AoE) tower capable of dealing damage to clusters of enemies.

• Attack: Fires missiles that explode on impact, dealing splash damage over a large radius.

• Special Ability: Can be upgraded to track fast-moving targets or deliver cluster missiles for larger explosions.

• Best Use: Effective against groups of enemies or units that tend to bunch together, providing powerful area denial.
