Description

A bit of the energy spending during and estall could use some reprioritization, if possible as well:

I dislike building with full power into estall will turn off my mexes, imo energy constumption priority could be:

  1. Lasers
  2. Metal Extractors
  3. Radar (good thing noone knows that jammers and radars dont actually turn off when estalling)
  4. Maintaining cloak
  5. Construction
  6. Jamming
  7. Conversion

Contributor guide
