Solar extractors are very sturdy for an energy production building. Even when destroyed, their wreckage will block most raiders from passing or firing over them. They can thus be strategically placed to constrict enemy attack vectors. This is usually done by placing them in a line. Alternatively, they can be used to protect a single building. Do this by holding '''Ctrl+Shift''' during placement and clicking on the building that is to be protected. | Solar extractors are very sturdy for an energy production building.

This guide will go over some common tactics and strategies used when using buildings. (wip)
Contents
Economy Buildings
Caretaker bury
The Caretaker is often buried underground when used on the front-lines. You can do this easily using terraform. Doing this protects the caretaker from most enemy units, but it is still able to reclaim and repair. You might do this when there is a large reclaim field but you are unable to safely use constructors or your commander for reclaiming, as they have a much shorter range than the caretaker,
Defensive Buildings
Terraform pillar
You are able to raise small pillars using terraform and then build a defensive structure on them. This is advantageous for a few reasons.
- Puts them out of range of many raiders.
- Gives extra range to some structures.
It is most commonly done with the LLT or stardust turret.
Solar extractor as shields
Solar extractors are very sturdy for an energy production building. Even when destroyed, their wreckage will block most raiders from passing or firing over them. They can thus be strategically placed to constrict enemy attack vectors. This is usually done by placing them in a line. Alternatively, they can be used to protect a single building. Do this by holding Ctrl+Shift during placement and clicking on the building that is to be protected. LLTs are tall enough to shoot over solar extractors, while most units cannot shoot over the solar. This can effectively give these turrets +400 hp or so.
