Interesting, when a grid is setup such that power distribution should be even (using thorium reactors and heat disturbers) heat seems to prefer the left side of the map more, and/or sometimes to upper left.
Only part I hate is how the AI don't prioritize very well, they'll pay equal attention to you and the other AI, even if the other AI might be a much bigger threat, or vice versa. It's very tedious on the higher detailed maps, and doesn't seem to scale well.
Very very carefully put one extractor on each corner, leaving just enough space to put another in the exact center, im not sure if it can be done if you have any elements adjacent to hydrogen unlocked.
Note, if its too difficult zoom in on your browser and try again (ctrl + +)
Tip, whenever the AI upgrades, upgrade your allies, it helps keep them from swarming the station, also provide distractions while you beat on the Yellow Orbs
I have spun the wheel over 250 times in a row, and never got a commander of any kind, I have gotten everything else at least 4 times, but never a commander card, or life boat
ok I just creamed a vending machine with fire from my palms and feet, ran it over with a bulldoser, and hit it with sevral catapults. Yet I am scared of zombies
