Proposal: You could feed the world with my garbage dump

Create a new subrule to the rule “Routes”. Name it “Dump” and give it the text:

A Dump Route has a Scouting Cost of 0, but when a Driver Scouts for a Dump Route, that Driver earns 5 Cash. A Dump Route cannot be removed by a Scrubbing Route or turned into a Jam Route, unless it has the punctuation ‘&’. At any time a Driver can spend 6 Cash to add the punctuation ‘&’ to a Dump Route in their pool.

Someone has to do the dirty work!

Clucky: would it be better with 2 Cash instead of 5?

against Scammable. (Even with 1 Cash, it’d be scammable. I don’t think anyone else has spotted how yet, though, so I’m prepared to exploit it if this passes.)

Oh yeah. Of course.  for just so I can scam it. (Bit bored with the dynasty as it is)

against .  Scout 50 of these for all the cash you’ll ever need.

Maybe 5 Cash is too much.
But if you Scout for 50 Dump Routes you’ll never be able to get all five Golden Routes in your Request Assignment draw.

against The scam is that you don’t need to. Leave three (or preferably five) Highway Routes active, leave all the Dump Routes active unless you can avoid it, then scout for enough Dump Routes to buy five Golden Routes, and activate them with your Highway Routes. It’d probably take multiple assignment requests, but likely be faster than the alternative method of doing it.

When you buy routes they become blocked ais, so that doesn’t work.

Clucky:
Activate your Highway Routes, scout for dump routes, scout for golden routes, request assignment.
Your Highway Routes will still be active, though maybe spread across the too many Dump Routes.
