dutchman Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Now I've tried a several times the mission Don't Panic, but it fails every time. I doesn't make me panic, more a sort of melancholism and despair that I will never succeed. But to come to the point, when I've reached the save cave, just after I begin building the Headquarters I run out of air and loose. Is there a way to avoid this?

MCHover Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Do it faster? Just kidding. Well, I don't know any other solution than to build a Support Station and make sure it doesn't get burnt by the lava. I think I have heard once that power paths should block the lava better, but I need confirmaion on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You should know you need Support Stations to keep the air from running out. If you're having trouble building one before the air runs out, try taking manual control of a raider at the beginning and going straight for the cavern.

Bubbleman Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You can take the shortcut by the first wall to make things faster. After you've drilled the first dirt wall, look for the dirt wall it uncovers. The lava doesn't go down there, either, so you would have a free run. Also, @MCHover Power Paths only slow lava down, and anyway, it doesn't go (too far) into the cavern anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Don't build a base. Just get the crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having trouble with this level until I discovered this, too. If you are one of those people who prefer video walkthroughs, here's a helpful one I found: Okay, so I can't seem to get it to embed... About 1:25 in, if you're interested.

dutchman Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Well, I'm going to try to go through that wall. But you can't take control of one driller, the others will fly for lava monsters and won't get away when the lava comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
