Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

Reader mode
There is something real fucky going on in the deep red zones. I know it's competing for a million other projects but we should put an extra dice into the zone armor factories if we're able

Honestly, the main thing I want is the automation/robotics projects. My biggest hope against hopes is that it'd let us automate tiberium mining to some degree. I highly doubt that we'd stop using actual people as part of the mining process, but putting less in the red zones would be nice to have.

1 orbital dice, 2 agri dice, 1 heavy industry dice, and taking one of the military dice to more easily spin off sub-departments.

Is Infrastructure that much in need of a security review?

Personally, I'm consolidating the die from your Infrastructure review to Military. This is both because we need the Infrastructure dice, and because I really don't want to fuck up searches for spies in our military procurement chain.

To answer the first the four departments that have gone the lonest without a security check are Agriculture which was 13 turns ago (ow), Military which was 12 turns ago, Tiberium which was 9 turn ago and Infrastructure which was also 9 turns ago and since 94% success chance is a nice solid chance of success I decided to try to catch up on three departments rather then going for 100% on one department 94% on another, as for why Infrastructure I flipped a coin.

I think LVPAD is less important than improved fusion. While we don't need to start building second-generation fusion reactors now, we need to have the capacity to start building them soon, and we need to have a clear idea of how much Energy they produce so we can plan ahead. That won't happen until we do that development project.

Meanwhile, LVPAD is a nice enhancement to other stuff we do, but the lack of it isn't going to stop us. Whereas we really don't want to be forced back to building first-generation fusion plants, both because of the dice cost and because of the short service life. If we're planning ahead, we want improved fusion now.

It parallels the arguments about the improved Hewlett-Gardner Process, which I'm slowly warming to.

There is a reason I want to do both right now yeah.

We don't have to do ether right away but having them both ready to go will make planning around the need for what they produce and their cost actually doable rather then developing them when we start running out of energy/cap goods.

I feel like this split gives us the worst of both worlds. We'll still be a long way from completion on the foundries next turn, and it doesn't contribute much to the macrospinner. I'd recommend a one-and-three distribution in favor of the nanotubes, or ignoring the nanotubes entirely.

Yeah I've already made the switch to one-and-three distribution in the word document I keep my plans in.

Well, by now, if you've been listening to me, you know I favor a serious attempt to complete the Seattle frigate yard in 2062Q2, for reasons I've already explained in previous posts. I'd rather not belabor the point.

I know and it's nice of you not to repeat your arguments here but I decided to go for the Islands due to them taking less progress so they could be conceivably finished with two dice and to a lesser extent due to the longer production time the Islands have compared to the Sharks so while there's a good chance that they won't be ready for the start of Karachi if we do them now they may be ready for the later parts.

Rima… why Lady? What world does a systematic machine state seem like a good idea when we've already put down a genocidal AI with a fetish for Reusing, Reducing, and Recycling humanity?

I like AEVAs, I think AI are neat… but we have living evidence that just assuming we can solve everything with machines is dangerous. And I can't imagine our constituents lining up at the prospect of their incredibly powerful bureaucracy transitioning into a more opaque, more powerful machine state.
