I’ve completed my Vulcanus "mega"base (so just 140spm of red, green, blue, purple, and yellow science), and got Gleba to a state I was happy with. I was consistently making agriculture science and the materials to launch a rocket out of it, and had a logistics system in place to expand the base with bots. I even designed a faster, more fuel-efficient space platform specifically to transfer the agriculture science to Nauvis.

Since walls apparently don’t work I had the weird idea of defending my base with artillery, because I haven’t unlocked any other fancy military stuff yet.

I then went to Fulgora and am currently trying to figure out its entire system. Unfortunately the islands are too far apart for the big electric poles to reach, even with rare quality.

Then, out of nowhere, a medium stomper decided to wreck half of my Gleba base, even though the spores never reached any of the nests. It conveniently avoided the few sections with gun turrets like the Pentapod egg breeding section. I frantically tried to destroy it with artillery, but I kept missing until it decided to just walk around in circles next to my yumako mash processing section. After a few hits, it was dead, but so was my Gleba base. It fragmented both my power and my logistics system, so I’ll need to manually go back to Gleba to fix everything.
