Building 2 refineries and capturing third with a full harvester. Didn't come up with this strategy myself, just optimized it a bit and saved further 30 seconds on the previous record. I was considering about capturing a windtrap required for building refineries, instead of building one. That would save 300 credits, but it's way too slow and postpones harvesting quite a bit. Also considered alternative maps for this mission, but this one is clearly the best for speedrunning. Could save few more seconds at least with better luck, but this run was kind of lucky already considering harvester movement and such. Building three refineries, not capturing anything and just manually optimizing harvester movements would in optimal case probably be at least 30 seconds slower.
