- Better to invest in runners more, such as survivability. 'Cost investment is larger' vs 'runners getting more expensive' directly clash with each other. At the point where I feel I have enough materials to supply them, it would be a better purchase for me to dive into lasers to augment falling debris destruction
I haven't tested but I assume the early buy would be competing for space with Runners+ARLTS? Fairly certain that combo would be cheaper and stronger than bulls still, sadly
- Yeet is messy, that's probably the biggest reason. How much it leaves in the air (adding to aggressive reclaiming issue more), how much less efficient it as at collecting. Runners move faster than ore can be thrown, and they throw it over less distance - the travel time of the (yeeted) ore is longer (it feels) than the 'rest time' of the normal runners. If just running back is better (as you say too) then the 'Yeet' aspect of the upgrade, is a downgrade vs just the more capacity. Guzzler does help even things out (at more cost) but imo it's still behind normal runners
