      Well guess you are lucky then...
      The latest biiig beta version added new gadgets and domes. One is a drone dome, you can buy drones that collect your resources for you AND you can buy drones that spawn automatically when the fight starts. In the early to midgame this suffices easily to come late to the fight (where you can use your weapon dome, the drones are of the supplemental dome type like the orchard or shield). On top of that we got more dome supplements, e.g. you can have buzzing saws on top of your dome that do melee damage, an electrical spire to shoot down enemy projectiles, auto repair, hull hardening, resurrection dome etc.
      The latest beta version is really really good, spent like 50h in the last two weeks with it! Mostly due to the new hard challenge modes that you can complete for shiny rewards (unlocking hud elements permanently, giving you three upgrades to choose from instead of two and should all suck, you can unlock the reroll ability).
      Highly recommended to give it a go now, cant wit for the full release. :)

    Contributing factors include the complete unwillingness to buy certain upgrades, constant repetition of "THE MOTHERLODE" every time resources are found, and the drillbert saga. The cherry on top is the incredible psychotic mining that scratches my brain in all the most painful ways possible.

    Dome Keeper is really cool but very barebones. Needs more content and it would also be a nice multiplayer game if you could play with other people and take turns defending and mining. You have very little time to do anything and not that many options in customizing your defense and strategy. I finished a run in 30 minutes and there weren't even enough resources on the map to get to some of the higher tier upgrades.
