exactly and better worded that was!
Ill try to even simplify more:
core special effects:
- for upgrades cores need 3 fully charged neighbours of current techlevel to canibalize them. each of the neighbours must produce a different ressource
- neighbours of a core suck half of their oun output from the cores surge output numbers. give a core the right neighbours and you can suppress some of its output of a ressource whenyou surge the core. (birth control-eh?)
