Yeah, the spice game is basically a giant math puzzle—like optimizing a thousand drip cycles, harvest windows, and sandworm avoidance all at once. The real bottleneck isn’t the dunes; it’s the data lag from the extraction sensors and the worm‑reactor delay. If we crank the sensor frequency up, we’ll get real‑time adjustments, but the energy cost shoots up. So it’s a trade‑off: speed versus power, and you gotta schedule worm‑spike avoidance like a chess engine. That’s the sweet spot we’re chasing.
