You should regularly check your bases to make sure that they are working from the squares that will reap the most benefit. For example, initially your base works off normal grids w/o terraform enhancements which at most reaps 1F/1M. If a scout discovers a monolith within vicinity, you should switch production to that monolith as this is not automatically done. | You should regularly check your bases to make sure that they are working from the squares that will reap the most benefit.

These typically give 4 minerals and nothing else. If you have Industrial Automaton, you have Supply Crawlers, and you should use crawlers to work mine squares instead. If not, then get Industrial Automation! Crawlers are ideal for extracting squares that are particularly good for a particular resource but no good at others. | ||
* If in doubt, plant forests. Forests will always give you a good overall production, and should you need more food for growth, you can always find a moist square to build farms. | * If in doubt, plant forests.
