Rosetta Eco Challenge

We were talking on VC about eco principles, and there was some disagreement. We decided to test empirically through competing at strictly eco, and I figure I may as well share it with others if they're interested.

Goal:
Complete a starlight. Powering it is optional. Record the completion time to the second.

Rules:
1) Map is Rosetta
2) You only get access to half the map. You can't take reclaim from or build on the mirrored half of the map.

We were playing it 1v1, but you can play solitaire vs. an inactive AI.

If anyone's interested post your times here and I'll update leader board in the OP.

ANYTHING GOES LEADERBOARD:

10:48 https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/2410039 Would you consider banning wind? It feels a bit random.

I have 11:07 without wind.

I had considered it but kept wind in because it was more important to me that we explore the full extent of the economy that it was to be competitively fair.

That said, I see no reason not to keep a second leaderboard for windless, which you are now the top of.

I also made a modoption to set the wind seed. Do "!setoptions wind_seed=1" after "!game zk:test".


Here is an 11:06 with it: https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/2410122

Lota people were using wind seed, so this was with it.

Oh... is wind RNG independent of all other RNG?

Or can you do RNG manipulation by firing weapons or something? :P
