Key timing: Geothermal Powerplant by 3:26

  1. Open mex and wind into Bot Lab.
  2. Rush geothermal for the early energy spike.
  3. Add Advanced Metal Extractor, then Advanced Geothermal by 7:07.
  4. Bring up Vehicle Plant alongside T2 con for "Starlight" and vehicles.
  5. Funnel "Starlight" and T1 vehicles to front, pay allies with cons and "Lazarus".
