That map thumbnail looks like a person to me.

The effect of suggestion is so powerful. Now I see it also - in my mind it looks like a figure in motion, with a flying scarf - almost like someone skating?

If anything, I see a dog sniffing at a white-toothed dinosaur.

a surrealist person, but i see what you mean.
Clean, the head is at the top right with a nose in profile, to me it seems to be a person turning from away to towards the viewer. then a surrealist trail off.
kind of like the face in the clouds thing. we are evolutionarily predisposded to see faces (and animals/insects) in shadows and bad light. better the 100's of slighty embarrassing false positives than the potentially fatal false negative  ::)

Sorry, now I can only see a humming bird being attacked by a snake.

I saw a person too. It reminds me more of a genie though :)

Sorry to tel you this, but IMHO that map is just too big. I
m sure some will like it, but they take a long time. I lost interest some way through.


I'd say my rule of thumb is that when I have more Terps and Big Berthas than PCs and Mortars, the map isn't for me. :)

I see the head and shoulders, but it looks more like a genie coming out of a lamp there on the bottom half.

Not sure where to ask:
Tried my first "AC" Guppy
Sent up a Packet Guppy to build the AC one at the island in the top right.
After building and selecting the 'AC' box, it just sits there.

Built Guppy on main island, selected AC and sent it up to the island.
It just sits there.

Anyone get the AC Guppies to work?
If so, please tell me the trick.

AC guppies need to be connected to the command node. They can't process ore directly into AC. Build a packet guppy to the island, some mines, and an ore guppy on the island back to the command node. THEN if you find distant fronts starved for AC, you can use an AC guppy.

Wait -- the top right? There's nothing in the top right except an emitter.
Pretty sure I'm supposed to be banned, someone might want to get on that.

To be more precise, top right "at about 2 O'clock".
There is a small island that resembles a reverse @.
It has a -60 Emitter.

I thought I could suck up some of that AC and ferry it back to the CN's.

Well, if you put a sprayer and AC guppy there you could.
