In Geneforge 1, which control

[Level 1 Hermit]

Of the 4 controls is the least useful?

I've read around and apparently there are always scenarios where there is one mind nutrient short. I just need to know which one is useless :3

I would say the one at the docks near the end of the game.

There are two docks isn't there? I can't tell how close I am to the "end" of the game.

The east shore docks have a boat that lets you end the game. However if you push straight on to it past the Takers, then you can end the game early with a report of problems on the island or you can drag it out and kill everything or almost everything instead.

In any case, how many jar nutrient have you? There is one in Holding and in South workshop. You can also not speed one of control 4 and save a jar, depending on your alliances. The control mind by the docks will lure the Sholai out of their barracks, so it's not all bad.

If I remember correctly there are 6 Servant Minds and only 5 mind nutrients. I don't remember offhand all the locations though. And the Eastern Docks has the most useless mind. I forget what he does, but there is no need because you can just grab red spore baton, destoy the mines and then with stealth run directtly to the boat.
