Umm, how much ecodamge is too much ecodamage?

[Jamski]

Also its a dirty exploit, and not the way ecodamage was intended to work.

But what a huge waste of build turn queues.

You have to face it, by then the choice is what to waste your build queues on. I usually find I can build a world-dominating military in just a few turns.

Also if you have, 20 bases, increasing minerals at all bases by 1, means 20 more minerals per turn. CP's cost what? 80? 100? Something around there. Turns to pay-back, 4 or 5, if you sell it, ~3. Waste? If building crawlers is a waste, then building CP's is too

Obviously anyone getting minerals into the high hundreds is doing so for the sake of it, they can build and sell CP's for precisely the same reason.

What's the hardest part of an endangered species to eat?
The radio collar.

How many dalmations does it take to make a fur coat?
Who cares?

How many baby harp seals does it take to make a fur coat?
Depends on when you ran out of dalmations.

Why are there no stray pigs in America?
The same reason there are no stray cats in Vietnam.

What do followers of the religious right and animal rights have in common?
Both pray for animals. ("Bless you, Lord, for this bounty we are about to receive ...")

Why do endangered species taste like chicken?
If they were better than chicken they'd already be extinct.

Where is the best place to shoot an endangered species?
Inside the barn.

But that's nothing compared to Jamski's 549 damage rating ... trying to start a fusion reaction in Chiron's core, or are we just sick of the one remaining week per year of cold weather?

I needed more sea bases

[Method]

is that your "actual" mineral production, or are you building an orbial improvement with the space elevator?

[Jamski]

You expect me to remember that? Actually this base was ONLY building SPs at this stage of the game, and expensive facs.

[Method]

pish. Space elevator double mineral production when building sats. If that's what you're doing, then I scoff at your feeble efforts. Not that I don't anyways

If you're trying to impress me, you've failed

Amen!

After I finish laughing.... I'll come back tomorrow. Expect Mr. Morgan to punish you badly for your foolish economy! Question: Besides Genejack, which is horrible to me, did you use punishment, or Drone-riot elimination project whose name I can't remember? I vote second!

Damn Jamski....

....the highest I ever got was 450.

250 treefarms would deal with that quite nicely

I regularly run minerals into the hundreds with 0 ED, once my bases have mad production i just keep building CPs then selling them all every so often and repeating. With 10 bases able to build a CP in two turns (buy in one for 90 credits) it doesn't really take long to get minerals above 200 while remaining clean.

Altough there isn't really any such thing as too much ED, the income from worms is very good. (altough if you have cash and minerals coming out of your ears then the cash wont help much... but it's good in OCC's)

how does that work. building then selling? I have never heard of this (I guess) exploit

[Patashu]

If you buy and sell a facility that lowers eco damage, the eco damage drop stays but the facility doesn't. If you built it again, eco damage goes even lower.

It is according to Jamski

I agree.

sounds cheasy to me.

Really, I have never needed that much production anyways. Overkill.
