tricks explained in map and a hint here: remember a sprayer can be set to "always on". easy map, spores are basically harmless
Cute overall, but the endgame after the digitalis is down was pretty sloggy when draining the 500-deep pond on the stepping stone to the relays by sacrificing countless sprayers one at a time, parked on top of it (unless I overlooked some way of shooting/bombing it?)

well, i made a bunch of sprayers, had them collect until 100 each, made them cross the continent and blew them up over void near that spot...around 3 trips only and it was clear
2 trips here, but I agree, silly thing to have to do.
Was it possible to collect anything without getting rid of our numerous friends?

Get it right at the beginning. within 30 seconds of starting, even! A CN or a connector on the PZ can build on that spot, while it is still clean. And so what if it gets runnerated, it just needs to exist for 1 microsecond, for the CN to pick it up.
As for the endgame, all I can say is:
CLEANUP IN AISLE 5(also aisles 3,4,6,7 and 9.. I think some dribbled down into the basement too. Frankly boss, it's a mess all down the shop. Did you remember I booked this afternoon off for personal? Well I did, Bye!)
the packets never got there fast enough hahaah
It worked then!

Ah! I didn't know that sprayers can rain AC; thought that was only a CC going into orbit. That's a nice coherency in the game - now I'll have to go try your no-free-will-2-too
PS: & thanks a bunch for continuing to make CW3 maps - I tried CW4 but it doesn't quite scratch the same itch
If you fill a sprayer and delete it - either on the ground or in the air, it will spill its contents
