this should have a #seriouslyrandomspores tag i think ;)

i have had about 5 restarts and tried a few approaches but it is hard to gauge how each one compares to the others since the spores are so primary in C production...

ahh well, i will crack it on one restart or another, but this is not a game for those who like a straight forwards approach!  8)

Guess I should've put in the #Puzzle tag after all  :o

well, for me the #Speedrun tag is like a red rag to a bull  ;D

@teknotiss: the "C spores" are only a problem if they actually get to fire  :P

Hint1:
Spoiler
That spore flipper sure is annoying at the start, sucking up energy
[close]

Hint2:
Spoiler
The furthest spore flipper is in the top left, so build packet priority should be on this path (until you get an energy resource pack)
[close]

Hint3:
Spoiler
No guppy-grid trick from Martin here... or is there?
[close]

Need the emoji with an explosion out of the head for this!

Not getting Hint3, mind giving some background story on this guppy-grid trick you are mentioning? :)

Is there some other map I'm supposed to play first that explains any of the mechanics going on here?

but basically you need to provide power to the "spore flipper" towers and the C spores become AC spores.  stop providing power and they go back to being C spores.
