Specifies the credits threshold for the AI to start spending money more conservatively. When the AI has less money than this, it will alternate between constructing buildings and producing units instead of producing both at the same time like normal.

In this alternate production mode, the AI prioritises building construction. Once it determines that it needs no more buildings (it has both infantry and vehicle factories as well as enough power), it will switch to producing units. After producing a unit (that isn't a Harvester), there's a 50% chance it will then switch back to constructing buildings, restarting the loop.

At any point, if the AI gains more money than this threshold, it will return to normal, unrestrained production.
