Had my worship music cranked up
Put my seat belt on and had a blast
Well done planetfall

Fun map. I was half-expecting some kind of ending cinematic or some such, despite the introduction.
When I come in under a half-hour, I wonder what the speedrunners will get it down to. Taking the trap-patch early seems to have paid off somewhat, though I know I could do better at every stage ... if I could be bothered.
I am perhaps overfond of Berthas - I cleared the entire lower-left island with one massed firing.
On reflection, I had enough fun to replay for a somewhat better time. I'll be back in a while.
Edit: Under 20min. Still plenty of time to be gained there, but I'm not going to take it off 4x/pause to do the needed micromanagement. I leave that to people who will enjoy it.
3 minutes behind Willbir, feel like I missed a trick on this one! I took out the big digitalis bit early on and then had to clear up all the mess, perhaps should not have done so early on, I also did not prevent the runners. Good map though, fun throughout.
Good fun map thanks, I found out a few time the hard way that the most obvious route is not the most effective route.
Spoiler
My best attempt was nipping the nest in the bud, taking out the small emitter top right then heading top left and leaving the monster emitter for later.
Nice. Not an easy approach but easier than moping up whilst power building!
