I'm no expert on this. I'm just posting tips that might help you build your base better. All tips are based on resources starting at 1000 metal and 1000 energy.

This will ''greatly'' slow construction.

  8. Now its time to build level 2 factories. Adv. aircraft, kbot lab or
      a vehicle plant. Build 2 adv. const. units. Have your adv. const.
      units build at least 2 moho metal extactors to start with.  
 
  9. After you got that done, build a cloaked reactor for power. Use at
      least 3 const. units to build the first one. Also, keep a eye on
      resources. If you energy drops to none, you can't mine metal.
      Any units that are building stuff will slow down.  
 
  10. After you got the first cloaked reactor done. Build a second one
      and 2 metal makers with adv const. units.  
 
  11. Now its time to build level 2 units to attack enemy bases. When you
      are building your units, also reinforce your base defenses too.
 
i advise you DEFINATELY get at least one (i often get 3-4) light fusion / mobile fusions before cloaked fusions. metal extractors (mexes) are essential everywhere. defenses are very expensive so i recommend either guarding choke points or key locations DO NOT guard lone mexes etc!!! FARKs or NECROs can upgrade your metal production to moho mexes very quickly even if only one or two are used and can make defenses to guard that not inconsiderable investment you made (remember FARKs/NECROs may be fast builders but they eat up a shiteload of resources)
please add these tips in neatly someone

tips by GenBlood (with suggestions from Min3mat)

I'm no expert on this. I'm just posting tips that might help you build your base better. All tips are based on resources starting at 1000 metal and 1000 energy.

  1. Build a level 1 Kbot Lab, level 1 Vehicle Plant or a level 1 Aircraft Plant first. Only one at the start of the game, depending on game resources.
  2. On the energy end, build Wind Generators first because they use less metal than solar. Build at least 3 or 4 after building a level 1 plant.
  3. Now depending on the map, you need metal to build more advanced stuff. Try to build at least 4 or 5 Metal Extractors.
  4. Now its time to build some units. You should build at least two level 1 construction units to help out your commander. Muliple construction units can help build strutures and units faster but remember, by doing this, resources will be drained faster.
  5. Now you should build a radar tower not far from your main base. You don't want the enemy to surprise you.
  6. Add a few missile towers around your base to protect metal extractors, wind generators and other structures. Don't go hog wild on this at the beginning. That is a waste of resources.
  7. Build some units to repel enemy units. I would say around 10 or 15 units to start with. At this point, managing your resources is very important. Energy is important, so build a energy storage unit. You may also want to build metal storage.
  8. Now its time to build level 2 factories. From this, build two advanced construction units. Have your advanced construction units build at least 2 Moho Metal Extactors quickly.
  9. After you got that done, you'll want to build a Cloaked Fusion Reactor for power. (However you should consider building one [if not 3 or 4] Light Fusion/ Mobile Fusions first.) Use at least three construction units to build the first Fusion Reactor. Keep an eye on your resources. If you energy drops to zero, you cannot mine metal. This will greatly slow construction.
  10. After you got the first Reactor done. Build a second one and two Metal Makers with Advanced Construction units.
  11. Now it's time to build level 2 units to attack enemy bases. While you are building your units, reinforce your base defenses.

While building your base, keep in mind some buildings go boom in a big way when they die. No buildings should really be clustered together (especially energy producers) but the following need special consideration: Fusion Plants, Annihilator/Doomsday Machine, energy storage, Geothermal, Big Bertha/Intimidator, Targetting Facility.
