[Elfwreck]

My new account, Elf the Sock, seems to have a bug: the grid isn't growing. It's level 5 and still a 6x6 grid, so I have to sell off almost everything from previous levels to get space for new resources. (Also, only 12 quick charge spaces, which I'm rapidly filling with Radiation Shields until I can get Thorium Reactors. I'll probably set 1 quick-charge space for food and one for bucks for a while yet.) I've reported the possible bug.

I'm going to try something different: get to level 10 as quickly as possible, to get access to the Thorium Reactors & the city planners--and stop. Increase population as much as possible, using the reactors & super-gifts to pay the energy costs; see if I can get a 10mil/cycle income going and then jump several levels at once.

I considered staying at level 5 for this (5 energy per person is, wow, *easy* to cover) but I want the thorium reactors. 10 energy per person should also be easy to cover with the super-gifts. Right now, the Elfwreck freehold has a pop of 873,825, and regularly gets one or two energy gifts of 200,000.

ETA: Not a bug. Grids no longer automatically grow; going from 6x6 to 7x7 costs 100,000 bucks (it's a bug that that isn't visible before you have the money, and Bob's going to fix it); going from 7x7 to 8x8 will cost 1,000,000. Which means, wow, early adopters got an advantage there.
