Not sure what the trick was. Something to do with having an extra Command Node, maybe? But I had a good time  :)

I did it without the extra command node TWI.  The trick I found was when you flood one of the absorbers, be ready to terp the ground behind it.  so you get the bonus production when it turns, but it doesn't get overwhelmed by creeper again.

The trick (if you want to call it that) that I saw
Spoiler
was to use the sprayer to fill the CN with AC then send it back up to create an AC rain, however since you have no control where the AC lands and the AC coming down is very slight it doesn't really do a lot. Of course you can spend Aether to upgrade the AC storage on the CN but then that takes AC away from other things you might prefer to spend it on such as packet speed, firing distance, or firing speed.

I never saw a user for the sprayer here--far too weak to actually do anything by the time you get it.

I also never needed the plug, nor the bombs.  The amplifier fell quickly once I had the 7 gate so by the time I had bombs I was just mopping up anyway.  Open all the gates and let it go.

about using the sprayers
Spoiler
sprayer means you get all the locked power upgrades right at the start, which was a no for me, so i didnt use it.

how to use it

Since you can make the sprayer, fill it, and then destroy the sprayer over the tower.

No! Not this trick. You don't use 2 CN! Trick is more easy and more helpful!!!  :D

Ah, somehow I missed this map when it came out! I was so excited just to do it I didn't even think about using the extra CN or sprayer or any of that! Argh!

I might actually have to run this one again and see if It's more fun using the "trick".

One thing you can do with a sprayer is pump way past your emitters' limit, but it takes a long time. Or you can use it like a weak singularity to allow your emitters to pump a bit more. But that's not really a "trick", so I didn't put it in a spoiler alert.

I think actually prefer the maps that don't have the upgrade ability. Sure, we don't "have to" use it, but it's like peanut M&Ms sitting in a dish right by the sofa. Sure, you don't "have to" eat them, but they're sitting right there. So you might as well, right? So not having the upgrading ability keeps me from having to upgrade my emitters, and I like things more simplistic.

Thanks for making these cool maps, Yum! They are so enjoYUMble!  ;D ;D

I'm glad it helped brighten your day - and your maps sharpen my brain so anything I can do to help I'm very happy to do!  ;)

By the way, I'm starting at your earliest maps and playing my way through them. I see you posted a bunch of maps just today  :o  !! Coolness!

Your maps always help restore my equilibri-yum!
