Note: Labor is now projected to be Net Negative given the current commitments and how we are no longer experiencing Labor net Growth. This is especially concerning given we will need additional Labor for further 2CCF projects to prevent Energy issues and additional Labor for other military factories.

You don't seem to be taking into account the Labor growth we will be receiving from the University Program Updates.

A bit of a pity; Australia is one of those places that would benefit considerably from an inland sea, because the inland areas are extremely dry terrain otherwise.

Well, we might get somewhat of an inland sea, but probably not enough to turn it into two islands.

-[X] Assembler Bay

I'm okay with all three of these, mostly doing HDI so it's available if people like the idea... but I do think that Evacuation Prep is long-term better.

-[X] Low Density Housing
-[X] Assembler Bay

Exactly what it says. Start off, spaceport bay is a must, to handle traffic control, arrivals, imports, exports. etc etc. Think of it like a basic airport to get people in and out when needed, and to do so safely.

Next up, low density housing. Here's the thing, we already *know* high density housing is gonna suck, it by definition sucks, stuffing people into less room, enforcing communal living on people, etc etc. There are some people who prefer communal living for cultural reasons such as the forgotten or Yellow Zone refugees or so on. But broadly speaking, most in GDI prefer a standard of living that includes personal space. And I want to make a gesture to the people, these aren't emergency liferafts for evacuation to stuff people into like sardines. These are intended and designed as actual cities with comfortable living in space. There's no rush, everyone will get a spot, and there's already medium density as a baseline, but I want also a number of lower density living spaces for comfort, for those who are critical to the running of the station with needed skills, etc and so on. better living conditions makes space more attractive to engineers who we are going to need to run and maintain the things. Not to mention any other number of specialists. It thus behooves us to ensure that space offers opportunities that are competitive with ground based employment.

Tying into the above. Employment. Assembler bays, for the maintanence and upkeep of the stations, for manufacturing industries. Capital goods, spare parts, etc, and consumer goods for luxuries.

Lastly, hospital bay. I'm building extra leeway into the medical system here, to ensure adequate staffing and surge capacity for emergencies. As others have said. We probably won't need it. The hospital bay we already have is 'enough' for most problems. But, I subscribe to the idea that it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

And for anyone saying we should get bigger housing bays for more people. There's a pretty simple solution, just put more free dice into space. Build more space stuff, rather than trying for bigger space stuff.

So yeah. That's my plan, that's my reasoning.
 
We need to take account that the people we will be evacuating will be used to fullfill industries.in space. Also, the more people.we put above, the less people will think we are building only for the elite

Enterprise lacks the capacity to manufacture many of the parts for the generator itself, meaning that they have to be launched into orbit on fusion craft, and most of them are in shapes and configurations that are uncomfortable even for the relatively spacious cargo holds of a Union or a Leopard, and would be bluntly impossible on any of the Initiative's previous designs of conventional rocketry.

I interpret this as a GM signal in favour of the assembler bay.

Edit : after reading the debate I ditched "evacuation prep" and added "health service"
