Why do people keep including this in their plans? Is it really that critical right now? Hallucinogen counteragents, sure, but this is not counteragents.

It is a medical product. We expect to be treating a lot of people for injuries shortly.

Also, it will dull the PTSD pain if we have to break out the reserved fungus bars...

Figuring out how to make something often gives insights on how to counter, as well as new wrinkles they might come up with. In addition it is a service project which is probably the least critical need out of all dice categories. Not to mention the possible positive uses from it- NOD is likely to focus on terror uses of a product while we can wring a different set out. Much like how our version of NOD refining is somewhat different from what they use.

This about the railroads?

I didn't see them as too big of a deal. The other logistics project was much better.

Now that we are building more fortress towns they make perfect narrative sense. Need to connect them into the network. But doing them before? Nah. I would have done the same thing we did.

Yeah, but @Void Stalker predicted they would have exactly the effect we observe being formalized this turn, and I argued with him.

So I want to pass some respect over.

I doubt this is the last Tiberium War. Kane hasn't shown himself yet, whereas he always has before (except the First, I think). Even if it is, there is always a risk of the Scrin returning with that full invasion force.

Very broad strokes, sets up for vanguard.

Completes a phase of fortress towns, plus sinks some dice into the shuttles for some added logistics not dependent on rails or bote.
Slams a bunch of dice into nuuk in an effort to get that off the ground and sets up our Switchover from consumer goods to cap goods.
Light and chemical, all our dice into medicine because we're gonna get injuries.
agriculture, cheap food which we're gonna need, plus research into health
tiberium, should complete 1 phase of yellow, 1 phase of green is guaranteed, and gets a start on harvester upgrades.
Orbital is simple, all dice to enterprise.
Services, finishes off the prosthetics, and guaranteeing research into the neural interface.
Military, first and most important, both escort carrier and frigates. After that 3 dice into airforce for fighters, lasers and drones. Ground force get some dice into zone armour to try and complete that, plus research into railgun munitions and we finish off the easy supermav.
Bureacracy, well. spare free dice due to cost saving measure. So, 5 dice the census while we have a chance.

Because there are some concerns that a 90% chance of getting the fortresses up is unacceptable, I will be putting up this variant with the other plan when voting opens. Please feel free to make suggestions though I would like to keep both plans reasonably similar.

What this does is swaps one of the dice on rail lines out for an extra die on fortress towns.

Something I am also very tempted to do is drop one die in the original plan from YZ harvesting leaving at a 90% chance to complete in exchange for gaining a phase of GZ intensification.

Just caught up with the thread, been reading for a week or two. One question I have; why did the thread avoid investing in some zone armor factories for regular ground forces?

they be expensive and we want tonk. Though my plan healing hands does try to get one out this turn.

Ground Forces are currently happy with their current position, and the factories consume valuable Capital Goods and Energy which, at this time, are better off being used to improve the other branches.

They lack... vision.

But more seriously, we've just been playing catch up on priorities. If we had focused on zone armor then our supplies of war materials would be utterly abysmal right now. Plus worse tech overall.

I think we should have bit the bullet and built one factory several turns ago but there was always something else to spend dice on.

It's like how the navy is now. It's okay, it's okay, it's not quite okay but we need shells and ablatives, IT'S NOT OK NEED SHIPS NOWWW!!!

This stuff just sneaks up on us.

It should be noted that you make a lot of sacrifices here to progress on Enterprise, when we have high hopes of being able to finish that phase of the station next turn.

Because each one is a moderately expensive project, and (importantly) each factory costs -1 Capital Goods. Since we didn't have a big pile of Capital Goods to spare after the demands of the war factory refits were factored in, we didn't feel we had enough left over to build those factories.

We decided to go for the Karachi Rush strategy where we spent our Capital Goods on War Factory Refits and consumables production instead of Zone Armor. This seems to be working out reasonably well for us, as it means we're in a position to go Six Day War on Nod's mangy hide right about now. Power armor is nice, but getting to suckerpunch Nod and steal their FOBs and lunch money is better. Also, we had T-glass bump Reykjavik and it's discount on Zone Armor down on the queue.

For those who were considering voting for the base version of Putting the foot down I'm going to pull a dingle harvesting die to complete a phase on GZ intensification. This will leave YZ harvesting at a 90% chance of completion and both projects will aid our forces by setting up forward bases.

I do make sacrifices but I'm aiming to get some progress out to reduce later expenditure while also hitting out to the support sats. I'm of the opinion that both are important to get out and would like to help along Ent while also getting through other goals.

Three Steel Vanguard supporting projects all with 90% or higher chance of completion. Lays good food infrastructure foundations for us to feed refugee waves. Protects GDI troops from those damn hallucinogens, which can cause permanent damgae.

EDIT NOTE:
This plan was accidentally 5 R over budget due to an underestimation of the cost of neuro-helmet deployment for the Steel Talons. However, @Derpmind did some math and she found 10 R under the sofa cushions in an unrelated incident, so it doesn't matter!

EDIT MK II:

This plan has been revised. Hallucinogens were swapped out for airborne lasers. See the version on Page 990.

Current thoughts- focused effort to pump out a bunch of Nuuk progress and mil projects. All in on Steel Vanguard and turning out a bunch of dev. ECCM and Stealth disruptor to counter NOD stealth, Wingman and Escort Carrier for deployment, another OSRCT stage, an apollo fighter factory for more of our main airframe.
Enterprise and Reyjavik take 2 turns to finish so full in on this turn to get them online next turn with both additional cap good as well as mech and zone armor support from reyjavik and better OSRCT support from Enterprise.

Mil choices:
Wingman Drone and Apollo Factories for increased air dominance, wingman drone is essential as it lets us do more damage with fewer pilots allowing us to leverage our better industrial base. We lose drones and replacements can be sent to keep operation tempo going, also means each strike needs fewer pilots for the same firepower letting us keep operations going 24/7. Various weapon techs to be included in Wingman drone and possible apollo refits/variants.
Escort carrier to start ones designed with wingman drones to get shipyards started in Q2.

ECCM and Stealth disruptor is to help counter NOD stealth advantages (keep in mind we do not know where NOD industrial base is which has stopped us from hitting it- this will help reduce the ability to hide increasing the chance of finding both NOD forces and NOD industry), also ECCM I can see being included in a EW Wingman Drone variant (so 1 or 2 EW drones per flight/squadron). If we can reduce or eliminate NOD ability to strike from stealth the battles tip in our favor.

OSRCT is to increase the combat drop capability (combo with Enterprise phase 4) which gives us a striking force that can be deployed at flashpoints- and with better anti stealth tech giving us more time to see and react to NOD threats. Also a bigger force to cut off raiders if we want to.
Weapon techs- allows wingman drones this turn and the frigates, mastadoons and various vehicle design projects in future turns to have the best choices that we can make in terms of loadout, also some of them are more expensive so fitting them in now gives more flex in later turns.

Admin assistance to toggle on the reallocation is a good idea, so swapping to that and security review on service since that is open

[X] Plan Rails to the Front

I'd still prefer a plan with Liquid Tiberium power, but this is the only plan with freeze drying plants, and still has all the lasers and plasma I wanted. Going with this.

Edit: Well the plan posted above made me a liar, but is also doesn't have Tib power, so ya know.

My main concern here is that you're not putting anything into fusion, which means that if we want more Energy next turn, we have to either go tiberium power, or we have to throw about five Heavy Industry dice to be sure

I really think we should be emphasizing the freeze-drying plants, for reasons I've already discussed. Extra strategic stockpiles don't help us right now because we're not so much worried about Nod forcing us to live on canned goods, as we are about suddenly having fifty million more mouths to feed in a hurry. We need production.

I also have freeze drying plants along with both laser and plasma projects.

Simons plan is good though.

Q2 for me, along with Mastadon. As it is getting the anti stealth techs out has to be very high priority since that is NODs biggest strength
