snafu, the whole thing about Finn's Revenge is that the forward ACU is the pivotal part of the game. The hydro at that back of your base is near impossible to protect from an attacking ACU since he can just destroy it then back out into the water, repeating if necessary. Once your hydro is destroyed (it WILL be destroyed) you have to build 5 power generators anyway to replace it.

I'm not sure whether or not it's worth building the hydro just for the first few minutes to get your eco going, but you will need to replace it at some time. At the moment, I don't build it either. Requires too much engineer move time imo.

i see your point, but still stay with my oppinion, that even rebuilding it is much cheaper than building 5 pgen instead. until his forward acu reached it, your eco got the boost of +100e for nearly 1/5 the energy and half the mass.

(and just to avoid misunderstandings, i find the concept "stupid", not any person behind it!)

I don't build the Hydro 'cause it's too vulnerable.

then dont build engies too! they are valnurable, alas you freaking need them.

the whole statement is just plain stupid:
Hydro: 160m 800e 1:20; gives 100e; 1600 hp
pgen: 75m 750e 0:25; gives 20e; 600 hp
5 pgen: 375m 3750e 2:05; gives 100e; 3000hp

so lets see, you got nearly the double hp (188%) for... +215m (234%), +2950e (469%) +0:45 (156%)
plus you need more space, to build the 5 pgen apart...

like those fragile engis etc...you are not supposed to not build them, just protect em proberly

i don't need the hydro though.

You can't rebuild it because his ACU is camping around your base, and jumping in and out of the water.

Also, when it does go down, you'll be in -100 energy (unless you have excess power gens, which means you are wasting mass anyway and building the hydro was pointless), which will stall all your factories very quickly.
