So... if you use Luring Cynosures, do you have a strategy with 'em, or do you just place them as you get enough green badges?

Since the artifact bonus on them does not double, i consider them a 1:1 artifact, so if and when i get the 7 badges, its bought immediately and placed upon a planet that could use an extra 1:1 structure.

That's what I've been doing.

Have considered keeping 7 badges in reserve just in case a planet with both really nice artifact and mining gets insurgents/prisoners only a day or two after using all my greens, but for the most part, they just get placed right away.

Green Badges: 159, I don't like them at all.

Bish joo craysee.
