Nice map!  I heeded the messages.

Thanks

Wisely done ;)

I did read the messages, but then thought "Pfft, I'll just plop two beams on PZs" and I had no problems ;)

[BilboGCL]

OK - glad you enjoyed it that way (at least I hope you did) ;)

1)  Tons of ore--and no ore mines.

2)  A conversion orbital that I don't think can be collected, certainly not while it is of any use.

Both message artifacts can be collected before their information becomes relevant.

Great map! Very challenging start that took me long time to get a grip on - finally I figured out what I should have done right at the beginning that would have made things much easier and quicker:

Spoiler

build a terp asap, remove the walls to get more space for reactors, then gradually build a platform on the other side

I followed the message's advise and 'resisted' so

Spoiler

nullify the first beam only at the very end and don't waste PZ on beams for defense.

Thanks!
