When we allowed humans to begin the voyage with starting spores, we decided to allow the crew to start researching Mycoscan prior to selection in order to keep it somewhat balanced. After some time, we realized that this not only negates the small advantage that the change was intended to provide, but does serious long-term damage to most mush strategies.

Effective immediately, we have changed the rules to once again call Mycoscan part of the "anti Mush research" and it has been placed back on the banned list as part of Neutral Play.

Additionally, we have clarified some of our other rules and made them more straightforward and hopefully easier to follow.

You can find all the current changes here.

Mushily yours,
The SDF moderators and judges
