What was the issue? :O

I'm pretty sure the issue was that Abduction mission where I rescued 7 civilians gave me only 9% DD reduction instead of 21%. The other issue is probably first points I've spent were to secure RP income and money income instead of saving to thwart the infiltrators.

Just for fun facts. I did restart, snipped the first 3  infiltrators, started abduction with 20% DD, rescued 10 civies. It sort of tells me that the DD mechanic is not so greatly implemented, because if you don't spend your first points right, it's GG. The infiltrators come a day after you get the message about the RP and DD mechanic anyaway, so I might wager that many people may fall victim to it.

Yeah, early OP points need to be spent on either (a) reducing daily doomsday or (b) generating OP points. This will be rng-dependent based on which infiltrators/supports are isolated (e.g. cheaper).

Additionally, capturing (not killing the General), capturing both Cleaner Agent & Soldier are great ways to generate extra OP points to facilitate the above, but aren't necessarily spelled out for the player.
