Hey Guys and Gals,

I would like to let everyone know about the new resource mods on Redstone. These changes improve game balance significantly and make the game more fun to play.

Every 13m, tertiary resource points frack to raise production from 240 res/min to 360 res/min. They can not frack at the start of the game for the first 26m, when resource production is 600 res/min. If the tertiary resource point is captured, it takes anther 13 minutes to restart fracking.

Capture bonuses of 180 res/min generate inside tertiary resource points for the enemy team. The resource production is double for a short period of time, when the resource point is stolen; until the capture bonuses are exhausted. They stop accumulating at 1080 extra resources. They decline at 120 res/min if not captured for 8 minutes. No capture bonuses are rewarded in the first 26m, when resource production is 600 res/min.

Tertiary resource points have 8000 initial resources plus an additional 8000 reserved per team now. Previously, they had 16000 initial resources on a first come - first serve basis. If the tertiary is not captured for 8 minutes, your team starts to lose 300 reserved resources per minute. When resources run out, production drops from 600 res/min to 300 res/min.

Additional tertiary resource points spawn on most maps. These are placed in strategic locations. They spawn based on the player count and when primary resource production drops from 3000 res/min to 1350 res/min after 26 minutes.

Roadwork, Gate, Downtown and Oilfield will now produce less resources if there is less than 16 players at the start of the round. The tertarties produce 600 res/min in the first 10m instead of 26m minutes. Afterwards they drop to 240 res/min trickling or 360 res/min fracking. This is a maximum net loss of 57k for oilfield, 57k for gate, 53k downtown and 43k for roadwork. With fracking they produce less res early game and more late game.
