A Ferritin Sac

Ferritin Sac is a Red unit.

Strategy

Ferritin Sac is foremost an excellent way to get a heavy unit such as Defense Grid or Odin without being saddled with useless Blastforges the rest of the game.

Otherwise, it does have some value as a red Tech sink, as long as there are things worth spending blue on. The rest of this section assumes that scenario.

In buying a Ferritin Sac, in effect you're loaning out one Gold, then getting it back after just a single turn, with a blue as interest. (And that's a blue you can even hold over to future turns, for however long you can leave the 1 gold loaned out.)

If you think you'll end up floating some money next turn, then buying a Ferritin Sac this turn ends up costing nothing at all. Just a free blue in 2 turns.

Let's examine the steady state of buying one Ferritin Sac every turn. That means having 1 Gold permanently "loaned out"; in effect losing a Drone. So this is a bit like buying a Blastforge with buildtime 2, for 2 money less. That looks like a good enough deal, but again, we're only talking about the case where you have half an Animus otherwise going to waste.
