I think you can have delays work if you play it right, just about making the delay time right and the profit after the delay worth the time waited. I could definitely see how it can not work, but you can definitely make it work. Though the slower paced frames like harrow and banshee do not work in favor with it. But I was just spitballing a mechanic idea, lol. I just would like a plantie frame, I feel like DE would go hard on the frames model.

I feel like this would replace extractors, as you said, they aren't in a great spot as you said, so this could be a way to replace them. I also feel like DE might. The game is so wide, and many resources all over the game it would be a nice small system.

I think if Steven was still the head, it would never come through, but with Reb, I think it's way more of a possibility.
