How to eradicate the Grox from the center of the Galaxy

Hello! And this is my method for eradicating the Grox from the center of the galaxy. (Tools: Mega Bomb, Anti-matter bomb, Heat ray, Refrigeration ray, hot cloud seeder, air conditioning, cloud vacuum, cloud accumulator, Extreme health, Extreme energy, anti-matter missiles, mega repair & energy packs, and a mega auto blaster. I did this with cheats, on medium, so if you intend to do it on hard mode without cheats, please look at Sharple's method.) First, head towards the core, and go to any star systems near the core that aren't owned by the Grox, and place some colonies, preferably only once if you have cheats. Now, if they aren't T1 - T2 already, get them to the point where if you open the trade panel, you have the option to buy items, and buy as many colonies as you can. Then, continue this until every star system the Grox don't own 2 - 3 parsecs away from the core are owned by your empire. Now it's time to start attacking the colonies. Go to the closest Grox-Owned system to the core, and fly down to the planet(s) and turn on your shield, use the energy packs to regen your energy, and then attack the city. You can do this with mega bombs or Anti-matter bombs, (or even volcanoes/asteroid callers) but Justa bombs or mini-bombs will end in your ship being atomized. Once the city is gone, place your own colony, and look at where the little dot is on the Food web map, and depending on where it is, you should use the Air conditioning, Hot cloud seeder, cloud accumulator, or cloud vacuum. For example, if it's right in the middle above no atmosphere, use the cloud accumulator and an atmosphere generator alongside it for speed, but the atmosphere generator isn't essential. If it's near the cold thermometer area on the left, use the Hot Cloud Seeder or Hot Cloud Vacuum (vacuum if it's in the dense atmosphere area and cold), and the other way around if it's hot. Doing this will allow you to buy colonies from the colony you already placed, allowing you to attack more Grox-owned systems and replace their pathetic buildings with your... Hopefully beautiful buildings. Rinse and repeat this until the deed is done. And if your shield stops working say, halfway through one of the cities, just fly away and wait for it to recharge, and fend off the Grox ships with anti-matter missiles. Prime Specimen is also recommended, as you'll have 7500 max health instead of 5000. Thank you for your time, and I hope this helped. (You'll most likely see this if you're allied with them and then unally them after starting to fight them) .Grox_Alliance_Break.webp (10.1 KB)
