Beginner's Guide to Alien Stage Resource Farming
If you want to get started with resource farming in Alien Stage, you should focus on leveling up your farms and picking the right minions. Many beginners ask if you can endlessly farm experience, materials, and samples. You actually gain more by waiting to do the Pioneer mission until you reach Level 10. Upgrade your farms early and use the Bots Shop to grab tools or minions. Crushers and praetorians give bonus XP for each kill, so target them when you can. This Beginner's Guide helps you build a strong start for farming resources fast.
Resource Farming Basics
What Is Resource Farming
Resource farming in Alien Stage is about getting lots of helpful items. These items make your alien stronger. You get them by beating enemies and picking up what they drop. The main thing you collect is called meat. Meat works like money in the game. When your alien attacks humans, it takes their life. After you win, the meat goes into your storage.
There is a cargo limit. This means you can only hold a certain amount of meat. If you want to carry more, you need to upgrade your cargo. Upgrades also help your alien move faster and get more biomass. Some upgrades work everywhere. Others only help in some places.
Here’s a simple look at the main ideas:

Resource Type |

Resource Acquisition |
You take life from enemies, and it goes into storage after fights. |
Upgrade System |
You can make your alien better and fight harder enemies. |
Tip: Your alien attacks humans by itself, so you just need to move and upgrade.
Why It Matters
You might ask why farming is important. Farming helps you level up squads to Level 10. This is needed for hard missions like Pioneer and Pharos. If you get enough materials and samples, you can beat harder parts of the game. For more discussion with fellow players, the Alien Stage subreddit is a great place to share strategies.
Farming also helps when things are hard to find. If you farm on old maps, you can train marines and get ready for bigger infestations. This helps you a lot as you keep playing.

In Alien Stage, you use different resources for different things. Blue is for technologies, red is for ships, green is for planets, and gold works for anything. By farming, you always have what you need.
If you use this Beginner's Guide, it will be easier to get resources and get ready for the late game.
Beginner's Guide: Getting Ready
Player Level
You might wonder if you need a certain level to start farming in Alien Stage. You do not need to be a high level, but reaching Level 10 makes things easier. At this point, you unlock more features and can handle tougher enemies. If you are below Level 10, focus on simple missions and practice moving your alien. Try to avoid hard fights until you feel ready. The Beginner's Guide recommends waiting until Level 10 before you take on the Pioneer mission. This way, you get the most out of your early farming runs.
Equipment Needed
You do not need fancy gear to start. Basic accessories work fine for early farming. As you play, check the Bots Shop for upgrades. Here at Bahomu, we recommend you buy tools and minions there. These help you collect resources faster. Upgrading your farms is also important. When you upgrade, you increase your storage and speed. This means you can farm longer and get more meat each run. Always keep an eye out for new equipment in the shop. The Beginner's Guide suggests grabbing any tool that boosts your resource gain.
Team Setup
A good team setup makes farming much smoother. Start with minions that have simple skills. Pick ones that help you gather meat or protect your main alien. Crushers and praetorians are great choices because they give bonus XP for each kill. Place your minions so they cover different parts of the map. This way, you do not miss any drops. If you get stuck, try switching out minions and see what works best for you. Remember, the right team can make a big difference in your farming success, and collecting different figures can give you more options.
Tip: Upgrade your farms and use the Bots Shop often. These steps help you get ahead faster!
Farming Steps
Choosing Stages
Picking the right stage is the first step to good resource farming. You want to look for stages that give lots of meat and have enemies you can handle. Early on, stick to stages you know well. These stages help you learn enemy patterns and practice your moves. If you see a stage with Crushers or praetorians, try it out. These enemies give bonus XP for each kill. That means you get more rewards for your time. For detailed enemy stats, you can always consult the official game wiki.
You can also check the map for stages with special drops. Some maps show icons for rare materials or samples. If you need a certain resource, go for those stages. Try not to jump into hard stages too soon. If you lose, you waste stamina and get fewer resources.
Tip: Replay easy stages to build up your meat and samples before moving on.
Optimizing Runs
You want every run to count. Start by making sure your alien and minions are ready. Upgrade your farms and tools before you start. This helps you collect more meat each time.
Here are some ways to make your runs better:
-
Protect your alien: Upgrade your health often. Watch your health bar during fights. If you see it getting low, pull back and heal if you can.
-
Use kiting: Move your alien away from strong enemies while you attack. This keeps you safe and lets you deal damage without taking hits.
-
Spread out your minions: Place them in spots where they can pick up drops and help in fights.
-
Watch for bonus enemies: Crushers and praetorians give extra XP. Target them when you see them.
-
Use rewarded ads: Sometimes, you can watch ads for extra rewards. Take advantage of these when you finish a run.
Note: Kiting works best against slow or big enemies. Keep moving and attack from a distance.
Managing Stamina
Stamina is what limits how much you can farm in one go. You want to use it wisely. If you run out, you have to wait or use items to refill.
Here’s how you can manage stamina:
Tip |
How It Helps |
---|---|
Play short stages |
Lets you farm more often without running out. |
Avoid losing runs |
Saves stamina for better rewards. |
Use stamina items wisely |
Save them for events or double reward days. |
Take breaks |
Stamina refills over time, so rest helps. |
If you want to get the most out of your stamina, plan your farming sessions. Play when you have time to do a few runs in a row. If you see a special event, save your stamina for it.
Remember: The Beginner's Guide recommends farming in bursts and taking breaks to let your stamina refill.

Resource Management
Spending Wisely
You collect a lot of resources in Alien Stage, but you need to spend them smartly. If you spend too fast, you might run out when you need them most. Always check what you need before you buy or upgrade anything. Ask yourself, “Will this help me farm better or beat a tough stage?” If the answer is no, save your resources for something more useful.
Here are some ways to spend wisely:
-
Focus on upgrades that boost your farming speed or storage.
-
Buy minions or tools that help you collect more meat.
-
Save rare resources for big upgrades or special events.
Tip: If you feel unsure, wait a day before spending. Sometimes, you find a better use for your resources later.
Upgrading Tips
Upgrades make your alien stronger and help you farm faster. You want to pick the right upgrades at the right time. Start with your farms and storage. These give you more room for meat and let you farm longer.
Try this upgrade order:
-
Upgrade your farm storage first.
-
Boost your minion slots next.
-
Improve your alien’s health and speed.
-
Upgrade tools that help you collect drops.
A quick table can help you decide:
Upgrade Type |
Why Upgrade First? |
---|---|
Farm Storage |
More meat per run |
Minion Slots |
More helpers on the field |
Health/Speed |
Survive and move faster |
Collection Tools |
Pick up drops quickly |
Note: Always upgrade one thing at a time. This way, you see what helps most.
Avoiding Waste
Wasting resources slows your progress. You want to use every bit you collect. Don’t upgrade things you never use. Avoid buying tools just because they look cool.
Here’s how you avoid waste:
-
Check your cargo before each run. Empty it if it’s full.
-
Only upgrade minions you use often.
-
Don’t spend on decorations or skins early in the game.
If you follow these steps, you keep your resources for what matters. You move ahead faster and feel proud of your smart choices.
