Something I have noticed accidentally.
Normally, if you want to build a condensor over a forset square, forest is destroyed and if you forest a condensor square, condensor is destroyed.
However, if you build a condensor in any square and do not farm it, forest can spread into this square without destroying it. Not an entirely unlikely outcome if your bases are surrounded by forsets which is usually the case in the early game.
The fun part is that condensor still provides it's stated benefit of increasing nut output by 50%.
Without tree farms, there is no effect.
With tree farms, forest+condenser generates 3-2-1 instead of 2-2-1.
With hybrid forests, forest+condenser generates 4-2-2 instead of 3-2-2 and working a 4-2-2 square certainly beats crawlering 4 nuts.
Condensers of course work with nut specials as well. so forest+condenser+hybrids+nut special = 7-2-2 (7-2-3 with FM).
This gets my nomination for the best possible terraforming option![Smile](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I've never really seen it, but I guess by the same logic it may be possible to have a forest+echelon mirror combo?
