Modding Terraforming and Ecodamage

[Nexii]

Yea, it's usually best to do rows of echelons (as in my previous sample games).  That's just for within the base square.  For 2 bases it'd be something like this optimally:

XEEEEEEEEEEEX
EESSSEEESSSEE
ESECESESECESE
ESCBCSESCBCSE
ESECESESECESE
EESSSEEESSSEE
XEEEEEEEEEEEX

So since condensors are needed, it's more like 5 echelons touching each mirror rather than 6.  Loosely packed bases can get in the rows of echelons around the base.  But this optimal setup is often difficult to get in practice, since you have to often expand where you can early.  So you have to usually improvise some, and generally condensors on the sides and echelons on the corners of the bases seems to work out better (since a corner solar would be touching 2 condensors anyways).
