Bioroids are marvelous feats of engineering. Efficient. Adaptable.

I seem to have money issues as the game goes on. Using e3 Feedback Implants along with Overmind and Creeper seemed to be a good idea but didn't feel like I had the econ impetus to push forward. Getting extra e3 Feedback Implants later in the game didn't help either. I wanted to experiment with using Magnum Opus as a main source of econ to support the mid-game while the remaining Multithreaders are found.

Special Order is to fish out the breakers that are needed while saving influence compared to Self-modifying Code. I currently have Net Celebrity to provide some early money and to clear any currents since nobody likes Housekeeping. Might swap them out for a third copy of Special Order or a single Clone Chip in case a breaker gets trashed. I think Overmind is a good enough breaker to fill in the gaps. Don't worry about using all the tokens in a single run. The only important thing is that you can run. It can be Independent Thinking fodder later.After some testing I might bump up the number of Brain Chips up to three.

It seems like you mighthave MU isses early between the 3x Multithreader, Opus and Overmind. Have you felt like you can't get many tokens with Overmind in the mid game?

That is a very good point. After some test hands, I think it could be an issue. If the MU is too tight early game then I will swap out the singleton directives for 2 copies of Q-Coherence Chip. I will have to drop a Multithreader if I think a third is necessary since having less icebreakers would be bad in general and less money is also bad for getting started. If money feels good I might go with Dyson Mem Chips instead of the Q-Coherence Chips.

As for the mid game if I really need to get the breakers out, I'll need to use a Same Old Thing to recycle a Special Order. I think(hope) what will happen a good amount of times is that I'll see one breaker, one Special Order, and a Same Old Thing and get the rig out that way. I'm not too particularly worried with the Overmind tokens. Not yet anyway.

Here's hoping that early aggression can get 2 or 3 points to remedy the MU issue with Brain Chip before the game goes on too long.
