I would strongly suggest that the people currently voting for research-based Focus actions switch to the Tranquil Tree. Because of how many Collector Trees we have, we have a ton of bonus successes on all our Growth-based Focus actions, but no comparable bonuses to research. As such, our Focus actions are way, way more efficiently spent on Growth than on anything else.

I'm not saying we should keep growing Collector trees, but I am saying that if you want us to research better, throwing our focus at the Tranquil Trees, allowing us to stack research bonuses for the future, is the best way to do it. By itself, a Research focus is 3 automatic successes. A growth focus is 15.

Given new limits, it is about time to shift off constant collector trees. Helping with research (where things are already pretty slow) in a way that keeps our focus focused sounds like a good idea to me.

And now, time to begin experiencing the joys of being a Growth tree! I can now use 5 dice to
[X][Action] Grow Feeling Tree
This should help us figure out what's going on in our system, given each of these trees improves "sight" a bit

The bottom line of spending focus on growth actions I agree with - but I think we should do Tranquil trees first, as I think it's a lower hanging fruit for boosting our current research output. With the cap on the number of tranquil trees we can have, we can be done with them this turn if some growth actions are thrown towards them in addition to the focus.

It'll be a while before research focus is a better idea than growth focus, and feeling trees won't help us until we hit that point. But tranquil trees will start paying dividends immediately by boosting non-focus actions.

Yeah, I meant Tranquil, not Feeling. Brain fart, edited.

I'm curious if the smaller plants have any use.
Edit. Changed my vote to get the pups some food.

In more pleasant news, the Predators eggs hatched. Tiny, relative to the adults, they scurried around the den, crawling up its sides and pushing off to float around until they were pushed back to the edges. The adults radiated happiness and concern, and made concerted efforts to obtain more food for their pups.

We have puppies! Yay.
Shame we can't actually help them at all just now. Perhaps as more options open up.

Good they didn't notice us. But they will probably return and in greater numbers.


Offensive actions are unpalatable this turn. Don't want to annoy the researchers and don't want to soothe the Predators while they are short of food.

We could really do with spamming out those communication actions.

Somewhat tempted by both movement options, if only to see the reactions to the Forrest moving.

Growth… nothing in particular appeals.
