There's a map in Skirmish that has no regenerating ore. I think it's the D.C one. So at one point, I actually had run out of funding but luckily I had both Soviet and Yuri tech, so most of my income was from building cheap tanks and grinding them for more money.

When I used to edit things in TibEd, units would have this thing called "Soylent Value" which was what you'd get when you grind them up. So that's what I like to call it when I send units to the Grinder. "This unit has a Soylent value of this much, so I'll make this much from it!"

Brother amazing videos as always ! will we film a workout tommorow please ?

[@Templarfreak]

0:26 Most units have a "Soylent" value defined and this is usually what ends up getting used. A lot of these values are just half the cost of the unit, though, but in the case of vehicles it's the same as their Cost. Sometimes there's a special value, though, and CNCNet also makes use of this in their optional Yuri Patch to make Brutes only grind for 100, meaning the old Initiate+Cloning Vat->Genetic Mutator into brutes->grind trick only ever breaks even with the cost of the Initiates (still gives you a return if you use Conscripts, though) 1:25 I actually did not know this, I wonder if this is intentional? I have heard the Industrial Plant also doesn't _actually_ reduce the build time of vehicles, only the cost, but I haven't personally tested this myself, but that would be consistent behavior with this because its only modifying the cost you end up actually paying for the vehicle instead of its literal real cost. IIRC the same thing happens with "Cost*Mult" when a Country actually specifies one (ex: Russia was originally going to have CostUnitsMult=0.85). Funnily enough the IndustrialPlant also has fields for "InfantryCostBonus", "AircraftCostBonus", "BuildingsCostBonus", and "DefensesCostBonus" but all of these are just set to 1 in the vanilla game. They do legitimately work though if you set their values to something other than 1, and indeed you can make any building apply these bonuses too by also putting FactoryPlant=yes on it. As far as my understand goes _only_ buildings can have FactoryPlant=yes though.

[@MrPathorn]

I think it's a limitation of the engine. You can't keep track of which unit are discounted unit on every unit.

[@Templarfreak]

@@MrPathorn But that's not totally true tho, they clearly can get a correctly reduced cost for every single unit, infantry, building, defense, and aircraft, _per player,_ all those CostBonuses _work,_ I think it's either an oversight and they didn't realize this happened until it was too late, or it was entirely intentional.

[@MrPathorn]

@@Templarfreak I mean They can't get modified Soylent value for each unit. Discounted Rhino and Normal Rhino have to use that same static value.

[@Templarfreak]

@@MrPathorn Oh, no, yeah, that's totally true, the soylent value is not being modified at all, that's definitely an engine limitation. Still hard to tell if this was entirely intentional or something that just went unnoticed though.

[@MrPathorn]

@@Templarfreak Well for starters. Yuri is very unbalanced faction by itself. another thing is it is very rare in competitive game to capture grinder and build industrial plant and or vice versa and then print money with it.

[@FreedomFighterEx]

You get $300 profit from convert two initiates to brutes. I keep initiates on production pass the early-game once I got cloning vats so I could convert them for extra funds. The downside of this trick is; you need to invest into making initiates so it isn't free money.

Could them be recycled? (I guess yes. ) Also amphibious can carry flak tracks/battle fortresses, and they can carry infantries too, so recycle it will be more complicated (I guess it is a simple add up) 3. Harriers and black eagles can be attacked by tanks cannons or terror drones when landed on airforce command HQs, not sure if we can find a way to squeeze them into the grinder. (I guess not) (The following is some ideas I just came up, which are not really related to the "land units" only topic.) 4. If we recycle a tank "infected" by a terror drone, will we gain the money for the terror drone as well? (Further more, if the drone is yours and it is "infected" by force attack). What about amphibous transport "infected" by a giant squids, and chronosphere it to the land and recycle (I guess the squid will die. ) 5. What will happen if we try to recycle units under protection of iron curtain? Or MCV protected by force shield, and undeploy and then recycle?
