    Ok.
    Simple, it allows you to drop that extra planetbuster or those few extra nerve gas attacks without Planet taking a swift vengeance on you (in SP).

      Well its a concept that anyone should be fully aware of to attain a middling skill level

          Well, my lack of knowledge until a year ago or so, at least have learned me how to handle floddings and extreme NL poppings

          Oh, and now I don't fear the BmT any more

            saying i cant be 'middling skill level' without knowing the inns and outs of clean mins? i must be high skill level,for that only leaves the bottom and highest

              No insult nor compliment intended-- Its just that clean mins has been discussed and explained at great length in the past. If a player does not understand how it works they are at a great disadvantage,

              A player that knows how it works can manipulate Planet to their advantage. It can be joyous to be pulling in hundreds of ECs and getting bunches of morale upgrades killing worms every turn. It can be equally satisfying to be producing very high minerals with ZERO fungal pops.

                I know that busters and tectonic missiles generate eco damage, but I never noticed nerve gas having any influence on that, and I've been gas'n Usurpers left and right and stapling my citizens during solar flares?

                  nerve gassing aliens is not an atrocity and does not cause ecodamage. Planet is somewhat odd in when it gets upset actually

                    Planet Rating + Fungal Pops + Lots of Worms = profit!

                      i couldnt agree more,that knowing any game mechanic can be turned to good advantage. but this is a bit to serious for my tastes-ive played other games to be good and have gotten VERY good,but i dont want that here. i have made little effort to improve skill like i would otherwise. its allways satisfying to win with good skill and very fun, but for the moment i just play games for fun without worrys about skill lvl

                        ^^^His point was that your not the only person in the universe. We make these threads and archive the data for everyone that might need to know, not necessarilly the person who asks the question.

                        Thats why the search functions and references to other threads are so important, your not the only person that has needed to know and your not the only person that ever will need to know.

                        So you don't need to respond and defend your playing style with every post because we're not just talking to you

                          now i could be taking a tiny bit of offense

                          there was 4 posts between mine.so i was hardly replying as if i was being talked to only. also lately i have stop posting\spamming mostly so that point is even more invalid

                          far as i can see flubber was talking to me and i was talking to him.

                          perhaps yes we are being a bit OT but since that wasnt mentioned in your post your whole argument is caput

                              My initial comment was general to anyone-- I think to become a moderately proficient player you need to understand clean minerals.

                              Later I was speaking to you to clarify that the first comment was general.

                              What's interesting is that you don't dispute my assertion at all. Instead you indicate that you are playing for fun. I can respect that actually. Playing your very best in smax requires good knowledge and attention to detail. .

                              I do find it interesting that an offhand one-liner-- that no one has disputed at all, has gotten so much attention
