I don't understand if there is a cost to seemingly costless actions like sending a geologist or adding a flag somewhere ? If there is one, what exactly is it ? If there is none, are we supposed to constantly do these actions everywhere ? Top Quote

But on a road, adding a flag costs nothing then, if I understand you correctly ? And for the geologist, once they have their hammer, they don't consume it, they keep it with them til the end of the game ? That is, if I create three geologists, I consume three hammers and that's all, I have three geologists that I can send simultaneously for the whole game ? Top Quote
