(Spoilers) It takes Edgar 54 days to build a swarm taking metallic elements from all sources, including living organisms. But then when instructed not to harm living organisms, it still takes Edgar 54 days to do the same. Extracting metals from humans can't be the most efficient - or even in the top 100 of most efficient, likely - way to get metals. So why would Edgar do that? Also, how Edgar is supposed to be respon…

I thought it changed to 57 days.

Just went through it and it indeed takes 57 days
