Base building tips for new players

I'm no expert on this and I'm just posting tips that might help
you build your base better. Also, all tips are based on resources set to 1000 metal and 1000 energy units.
1. Build a kbot lab level 1, vehicle planet level 1 or a aircraft planet
first. Only one at the start of the game. Depends of game resources.
2. On the energy end, build wind generators first they use less metal
then solar. Build at least 3 or 4 after building a level 1 planet.
3. Now depending on the map, you need metal to build more advance stuff.
Try to build at least 4 or 5 metal extractors.
4. Now its time to build some units. Depending on the factory you
build. You should build at least 2 const. bots level 1 to help
your commander out. Also, muliple const. units can help build
strutures and units faster too. 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 now to repel enemy units. I would say around
10 or 15 units to start with. Also managing your resources is
very important at the start. Energy is important, so build a
energy storage unit. You might also want to do it for the metal
metal too.
8. Now its time to build level 2 factories. Adv. aircraft, kbot lab or
a vehicle planet. 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.
An 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.
