no rush time 20 mins,Is there any way to produce the Galactic colossus in about 16 minutes under this condition?
I built 2 in 20 minutes
#13993064 I was slightly faster You can see I used a good trick that you didn't use (reclaim t2 mex, build t3 mex in its place) and a really rotten trick that you didn't use (reclaim t3 mex, because why not? i don't need to end the game with any t3 mexes, i just need to get the GC up ASAP)
I may have overbuilt t1 pgens. Also I thought it might be more efficient to just stick with t2 pgens, but i'm not sure, because i did run into energy problems. I would have to watch the replay to check the math to see if it would make sense to build a second t3 mex. (probably it would, whether or not i was going to reclaim them later)
I watched arma's attempt and tried myself a few more times. 17 minutes is pretty typical, so 16 minutes is probably possible given some more attempts, but not much faster
https://content.faforever.com/replays/0/13/99/20/13992086.fafreplay Decided to stop after 2 t3 mexes. 16:20 on 1rst try without ctrl+k-ing mass extractors
I think there is a lot to learn from that very simple challenge.
Could be valuable to host some mini challenges like this for newcomers
Or even program some kind of scenario
https://content.faforever.com/replays/0/13/99/20/13992086.fafreplay Decided to stop ecoing after 2 t3 mexes, probably could have stopped earlyer. 16:20 on 1rst try without ctrl+k-ing mass extractors and i has some weird BO issues at the beginning and was wasting power... so surely can be impoved futher
Merged the two threads

I did it in 15:38.
15:00 should be easily doable with... some... practice
just recalim your own base ezpz
