Desc:
Here's a map that's 75% smaller than default maps. No uprades or ore are availibe, but only one emitter is here, and you do have time to prepare. Tip: If you can get a foothold on the opposite side of the map, victory should be yours. #Jinspired #Nanoland #NoSpores #Nodigitalis Difficulty: Very Easy (1 star)

I can't get better than 1:11 and I don't see how it's possible. So you expert players, how are you doing it?

Five collectors and one nullifier. Or was it four collectors and one nullifier? Or six? I tried a lot of permutations.

Edit:
Two things that can shave milliseconds and are not needed on normal maps:

Spoiler

Tight control over build order. Deactivate everything but your first build item.
Build the nullifier last as it consumes all the energy you can produce.

4 collectors and a nullifier worked to get 1:07.

I only built 2 collectors and a nullifier and actually took longer.  :o

So you're not using relays at all?

(Edit: I see! I expected the relays were needed but that was where I went wrong. Using 4 collectors and one nullifier I got 1:07. Small maps like this one are excellent for teaching us new things and helping really get those nitty gritty details that make a difference.)

Two collectors aren't enough to quickly build the nullifier without going into the red.
