To avoid getting overwhelmed, the player should focus on defeating Martian Engineers first before anything else. This can lead to the player becoming overwhelmed by their attacks. Over the course of the event, a large number of Tesla Turrets can appear if Martian Engineers are not properly dealt with.The limit is not tied to the respective Martian Engineers, i.e., one could spawn seven Tesla Turrets and the other only one. For instance, if there are currently two Martian Engineers alive, then a maximum of eight Tesla Turrets can be spawned at a time. To save power turn off antennas, H2/O2 gens, and some other unused items.
Antennas and beacons signals can be picked up by enemy ships when they are transmitting. They require a solid tile with an open space of 3×4 tiles above it.
