Anyway, thank you.. whoever you are  ::)

Yarp.

We spend hours shaving off seconds.

On a big map we're way less pixel-perfect!

Awesome map for a speed-run.

Great for a coffee break.

At least, it should have been coffee break length.......

I must be missing something right under my nose. I can't even finish this map, let alone getting CLOSE to the kind of time you guys have.

My biggest issue is trying to stop all those superfluous structures (reactors, etc) from building twice. Once I wiped out the closest 6 spores and 6 emitters, I got overrun in a minute or so. What is your secret?

Spoiler
"Q" key to stop building stuff. Build one Siphon, then build the others, "Q" again to build the reactors and also two nullifiers on PZs. I'll leave the rest to you. Hint: Ask the Little Dude and see if he can figure it out.
