3) If the game is not solved, you can't ever really say that you can judge whether a move is good or bad automatically. Especially if you want super overarching heuristics like "more than x storage is always bad". This is why player skill in unsolved games has to be calculated based on wins and losses rather than mexes and storages.

If you remove storage they will just build 90 caretakers / identical factories / Desolators / Pylons / circular walls around their base. Clearly, this is not enough.

I have a modest proposal that is guaranteed to work instead. As you can see, we cant determine footgunning in unsolved games. So the obvious solution is to make ZK solvable by paring down its complexity until it can be solved. We can begin by reducing map size to 8x8 px, removing fog of war and
