what the heck are clean minerals?

that explains why i always have a huge end-of-the-game planet war good thing MW cant pop up of the world is 99% water

"Clean minerals" represent base mineral production that doesn't cause ecodamage. By building certain facilities (with proper timing) you can increase your clean mineral limit. See

http://apolyton.net/misc/column/175_ecodamage.shtml

for details.

Petek, Cataphract should already know that, we explained it to him in the Demogame.

Mindworms on land are much easier to deal with than the other two vectors, since a scout patrol can attack and kill them all for a huge stack of planetpearls.

Except when they pop on a tile with a bunker - then you have to kill them one by one .

Oh, it's usually my own fault - late game I become lazy and sets formers on auto and/or doesn't get all bunkers in conquered land destroyed.

[Chaos Theory]

Then there's another reason not to build bunkers!

[BlackCat]

Has there ever been a sensible reason to build them ? I have never found one.

I think that placing bunkers on roads causes enemy units to stop and "capture" the bunkers. That could slow down an invasion.

Is it possible to set the bunker regeneration rate to negative? If they are so lame, then it would be reasonable to replace them with mine fields in a mod.

Yes, I'm quite aware of that, but the lack of bunkers has never prevented me from throwing an invasion force out at my wish.

Though, I only knows SP - maybe it's usefull in MP

Edit: didn't make much sense in first version

Great fun seeing planet go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, sea rises in 20 years, pop, pop, pop, pop, *something else complete*

Now here's a thought: how come fungal pops don't destroy fungus tiles?

Exposure !!!! We have now found one of those evil nonhuman entities !!!

No human being would rely on nonterrestical improvements.

You can put it on the borehole for safer crawling.
When enemies are marching towards your empire they tend to take the shortest route (rivers, roads). You can "help" them out by building a piece of road towards them and placing a bunker on it's end filled with troops. Raise a land a little for your arty and with a help of a nearby monolith you can stop an entire Yang onslaught.

late game when ur running planned / cybernetic and if you get the manifold nexus getting a ton of fungus pops to occur is a great way of boosting your terraforming since they're better then hybrid forests and you get all the £££ from sweeping up the worms

Except those with +7 planet and the manifold nexus
