@Reek the devs has said they are planning on adding more wood nodes but for now the only solution is to research farming as it leads to automated wood and metal through arming it.

i upgrade my home base to open more map but i get stoped at quartz or metal... and cant carry on because i cant build i run out of wood and iron nodes to mine.... and wood is big problem its runs my base..

i run out of iron and wood long before i can make real progress... i reset and search for all twinkles.... no more wood or iron... so i cant go on... sad....

I didn't see the tubes with mana! I just did what I posted in my last post!

If haven't you also need to open the Mana Conduit and infuse several times!

@gtasthehunter wel seeing as I am feeding it from a long ways away the tube is acting as a kind of ammo clip. I know there is a mana mining spot near it but I chose to use the one close to spawn so something like 200 transport tubes worth of ammo. :D

have you upgraded Mana Conduit yet? If not I would say a chest with 4 porters feeding it should go quite fast! At least with 2-4 different tube paths

I think I would have split one of the left pipes upward instead of having the upper-left pipe outside the fort but otherwise, cool.
