Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition
This. If we can turn Orbital into a resource provider, rather than a resource sink, that will be kinda huge. And the ability to set up infrastructure that is essentially beyond NOD's reach will be huge. (Note: improve ASAT capability.)
More or less. NOD is better at tiberium and energy weapons, GDI is better at infrastructure and not poisoning people with tiberium.
As for my desires for a plan:
Infra 2/6 30R +8
- [ ] Blue Zone Reconstruction (Phase 2) 1 die, 10R
- [ ] Yellow Zone Fortress Towns (Phase 1) 1 die, 20R
HI 3/3 1 Free die 65R +8
- [ ]North Boston Chip Fabrication (Phase 3) 474/600 3 dice 45 R 83%
- [ ] Saarland Heavy Industrial Plant 0/400 1 HI(free)+1 Tib dice 20 R 0%
LC 1/3 5R +8
- [ ] Toy Plants 1 die, 5R
Agri 0/3 10R +8
-[ ] Yellow Zone Aquaponics Bays (phase 1) 1 die, 10R
Tiberium 6/6 120R +28
- [ ] Blue Zone Perimeter Redoubts (Phase 3) 1 die, 20R
- [ ] Tiberium Glacier Mining (Phase 3) 2 dice, 60R
- [ ] Red Zone Enclosure Campaigns 2 dice, 40R
-1 die to Saarland
Orbital 1/3 20R +8
- [ ] GDSS Enterprise (Phase 1) 1 Fusion die, 20R
Services 3/3 20R +23
-[ ] Craft Shops and Maker facilities 2 dice, 10R
-[ ] Reopen the Publishing Houses 1 die, 10R
Military 3/3 +45R +3
- [ ] Orbital Strike Regimental Combat Team Development 1 die, 15R
- [ ] Wolverine Mark 3 Deployment 2 dice, 30R
Bureau 0/3 0R +8
- [ ] Security Reviews ?
Free 1/5
315/350 R
65 PS
Gets started on Infra both for BZ and YZ, probably need more Heavy Industry investment, finish off the Toy Plants for Consumer Goods, more food, Tiberium mitigation and income, get started on SPAAACE, more consumer goods from Services, and see about getting OSRCT development completed, while taking a swing at getting Wolverines upgraded for rapid-fire railguns. Because that should lead to a wider-scale deployment project. And finally, unless something else comes up, run some more security reviews, probably Infrastructure since that was one of the first ones done. Of course, this is dependent on what projects and results are made available by this turn's results.

Here's a little project of my own to help everyone make their own plans for the next four turns. I've calculated out the completion chances for every single project. The amount of dice shown here are from the first amount with above 1% completion chance to the first amount with above 90% completion chance. Due to the very high number of omake bonuses in stock, (thank you, omake writers!) all completion percentages here assume an omake bonus may be used.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a hardcoded maximum accordion width. Sorry about that.

Thank you lots, Derpmind, this makes everything very convenient for planmaking.
As for the people who want to do Saarland before Moscow, I think New Moscow would be more valuable because I think it reduces progress costs on stuff.

Tbf even if we accomplish evacuating a stable population off of Earth. All that does is expand our options, once we're off world with industry and such, we can launch missions to set up reclamation sites for example. Battling Tiberium for the Earth can continue knowing that in the worst possible scenario...humanity survives and can try again.
Certainly not ideal, I hope we're never forced off earth. But its entirely possible, and I don't see us setting up a lot of off-world infrastructure as a bad thing honestly XD.

I for one am all for getting space industrialised enough so an evacuation is easier
should the worst happen. Even If we never do so, there is a Fair Bit of Worth in the orbital infrastructure

I know, even if Tiberium just magically became inert tomorrow space is full of things we can convert into more resources and places NOD will have a very hard time reaching.

Hmmm 1 fusion dice a turn on the Enterprise maybe? It will chip away at it for these 4 turns before we have to cut back
I wish to do High Orbit Ion Cannons sometime. While expensive and just a speadbump, it can with luck be done with only one die, and speadbumps can fuck shit up, as automobilists should know.

Results from Q3
Build Space Force Launch Facilities Stage 1 200/100 Stage 2 100/100
As if motivated by the Boston Shock Construction, the construction crews finished the Launch Facilities in record time, completing both the massive concrete foundation and the various additional facilities, such as water pumps, launch scaffolding and refueling equipment. Of special note is the flexibility of the facilities, being capable of preparing both vertical and horizontal launch vehicles for takeoff. Filling the water basin built to absorb the massive amount of heat a launch produces nearly collapsed the local water supply and gave Carter a few angry calls with the local waterworks. Now the only thing hindering him from launching equipment into space is the lack of launch vehicles. (Stress -- -)
Expanded Power Production Phase 1 123/75
Ordering and assembling the prefab GDI power plants was never and will never be difficult. The first one of many future ones now stands tall next to the other buildings, quietly humming. Huge strides have been made in prefab construction ever since the first Tiberium War in 1995, enabling even the simplest GDI to assist in their construction.
Build Part Fabrication Plant Stage 2 68/50 Done
The last CNC machines are installed and already spinning. The recent opening of Christchurch and Boston is already showing results, by making the priced machines more available. Not that many of those working here have much experience in operating the machinery, but some are and they have already started teaching others. Still, there is future room for expansion, for more machines making more parts, but that will require a lot more work too.
Build Assembly Plant Stage 2 117/100 1 Die, 1 Funding Die Done
In tandem with the Fabrication plant, the Assembly plant is sufficiently equipped and ready for action, just as the first basic parts left the neighboring building. Most of the work is still done by people, the machinery present mostly of an assisting nature, but more advanced fabrication is possible with a few upgrades. (Stress -)
Recruitment Drives 75, reached 40/60
Allen Kolijn, 35, Secretary
Having met at coffee machine number five in the Pentagon, both Vice Admiral Carter and Allen quickly found common ground over their shared love of Star Wars, the topic quickly shifting over to Carter's Sphere of Influence. Recruiting the more than capable Allen was an easy task, one that will surely pay off with all the paperwork that needs to be done. (Gives 1 bonus-personal die that does not produce stress)
Anna Kuhn, 42, Engineer
Having previously worked together on the fusion lift project, Carter and Miss Kuhn had the pleasure to meet again for the expansion of Orbital Communications. Over a cup of tea Carter spotted an opportunity, when Anna complained about the treasuries' low space investments, recruiting her to his cause with ease. (Expert for Assembly branch found, Additional assembly die and no malus after Reorganisation)
Stevan Pesek 75, Retired Construction Supervisor
It seemed like the gold bar incident had a bright side, as Carter got an angry email from the wounded Space Force soldier's grandfather, not to complain about the injury, but about the many construction errors he had been told about. After a few send mails, Carter managed to get the old man out of retirement. (Expert for Infrastructure branch found, Additional assembly die and no malus after Reorganisation)

Events:
WAR!: Carter, as part of the command staff, now has bigger problems than building his own space enterprise and, being the professional that he is, knows when to fully dedicate himself to something. (No personal actions this turn, all Projects are treated as if [ ]Reorganize Space Force has been finished, Project that do not have the -25 Malus are marked with an E, Stress decay from the coffee machine only, depending on how good or bad the Cyborg situation gets more or less Stress may be gained or lost.)
Carter Stress ++ (3)
Power + (1)
Personnel ++++ (14)
Tiberium = (0) Storage ++(2)
Resources = (0) Storage: + (1)
Advanced Parts (AP): 1/turn Storage: 1
Free Funding Die (FFD): D45
Free Dice: 3
Construction (5 Dice):
[ ][Carter]Expanded Power Production Phase 1 48/100 E
As usual for GDI bases, Space Force bases produce their own power. Given the various expansions to the bases the grid will need to be expanded with the GDI prefab power plans. (Power+)
[ ]Thorium Nuclear Plant 0/500 1 AP per Die E
Normally used to produce energy for industrial sites and GDI's largest bases, the Thorium plant is not available as a prefab and as such will need to be built completely on site. (Power +++++ (10), Personnel-)
[ ][Carter]Tiberium Harvesting Stage 2 57/100
With some basic prefabricated harvesting facilities in place, Space Force's harvesting options are not yet exhausted. With the experience gained from the prefabs, building a dedicated industrial harvesting hub on the largest deposit available will surely be a walk in the park. (Tiberium ++, Personnel -, Power -)
[ ][Carter]Tiberium Spikes 0/400 1 AP per Die
Now that we have free access to all kinds of parts previously unobtainable due to the state of emergency a variety of new construction options opens up. One of them being a number of Tiberium spikes to get access to the various dormant subterranean Tiberium Deposits around the Space Force Bases. (Raw Resources +++, Personnel -, Power --)
[ ][Carter]Tiberium Processing Stage 2 2/100
With the prefabricated refineries in place, a steady trickle of raw resource bars is available to Space Force. The next step is the production of an Industrial processing hub to improve resource production. (Resources ++, Tiberium --, Power -, Personnel -)
[ ][Carter]Tiberium Waste Recycling Plant 0/200 1 AP per Die
While the Möbius process is efficient, a small amount of unrefined slurry remains, more with the prefabricated refineries than the high tech industrial ones. By reprocessing it with a specialised second refinery we can achieve the maximum yield of resources. (Resources + per Stage of Tiberium Harvesting, Power -, Personnel -)
[ ][Carter]Part Fabrication Plant Stage 3 18/75
The part Fabrication Plant can still be filled with more machinery, from industrial presses to highly advanced 3-D printers. (Power -, Personnel --, Raw Resources-, Advanced Parts+)
[ ]Chemical Plant 0/300 1AP per Die
It is not apparent, but a lot of industrial processes require all kinds of chemicals and not all materials can be produced via physically processing raw materials, like plastic. A own production plant for these materials will make Space Force operations even more independent from the whims of the GDI economy. (Power --, Personnel --, Raw Resources-, Advanced Parts++)
[ ][Carter]Automated Assembly Line 0/100 E
At the moment most work is done by hand, a proper line of industrial assembly robots would go a long way to speed up construction. (Multiple phases, phase 2+ will cut down on required assembly project progress, phase 2+ will need 1 AP per Die)
[ ][Carter]Upgrade Assembly Plant Stage 1 0/400 1 AP per Die
It is possible now to upgrade the plant to the highest standards using nothing but the parts it produces itself in an escalating cycle of improvement. (Power -, Personnel -, additional Assembly Die)
Assembly (2 Dice): (Progress limited by assigned Parts)
[ ][Carter] Titan Rocket System 0/100 0/1 AP E
The Titan is the lightest of the launch vehicles in GDI's arsenal. It is reliable, robust and reusable, but can only carry a small payload compared to its powerful siblings. (Enables orbital launches of up to 1 APs worth, Carter Stress +)
[ ][Carter] Atlas Rocket System 0/300 0/5 AP E
The Atlas was the workhorse with which the Philadelphia was built. A far more powerful rocket than the Titan System it is also known to be maintenance heavy and expensive to fuel. (Enables launches up to 4 APs worth)
[ ][Carter]Leopard Class Transport 0/500 0/15 AP E
The Leopard is the crowning achievement in ground-orbital transportation. Its powerful fusion drive gives it a truly ridiculous amount of lifting power and cargo space. (Enables Launches up to 10 APs worth)
[ ][Carter]Construction Vehicle Fleet 0/200 0/1 E
While Carter has been working tirelessly on getting a fleet of ancient vehicles, it is now possible to build our own. Only a small amount of advanced parts will be made ourselves, the rest can be ordered from the treasury. (+25 for building facilities, if Acquire Construction Vehicles is finished it is turned into a modernization project, which will raise the bonus from +20 to +25.)
Personal (IT IS WAR, THERE IS NO TIME FOR PERSONAL Matters, 1 Free Personal Dice)
[ ]Reorganize Space Force 0/100
The Operation has grown beyond Carter's ability to manage it all on its own and it probably is time to delegate and reorganize Space Force and Command. (Project Branches will no longer cause Stress for Carter, but have a -25 Malus to Dice unless an expert to lead the branches is found.)
[ ][Carter]Recruitment Drives (DC 70/90)
Carter cannot do this alone. The space force personnel can follow his vision, but he needs men and women of strong will and conviction that share it. (Unlocks special npcs that give varying bonuses)
[ ][Carter]Convince the SOs (DC ??)
With much of the world still down, many of Space Force's significant others, who are not military or in construction, are still out of work. Given Carter's natural Charisma he may be able to convince them to temporarily join Space Force.
[ ][Carter]Take in interns (DC 15)
Space Force is still popular with the youth, taking in interns would boost our workforce.
[ ][Carter]Acquire Construction Vehicles 194/400
Space Force is motivated, but facilities cannot be constructed with hands alone. By scourging through GDI records Carter's staff is sure he will find some unused vehicles rotting in a storage unit. (+20 for building facilities.)

At least 1 die/turn is my hope. Because if we can get Phase 2 completed, Orbital dice will start paying for themselves (at least the orbital cleanup will).

The 1 dice is because fusion is 20 R, while other orbital dice are 30 R so a bit easier to fit 20 in than 50, though maybe q3 or q4 to finish it off?

Basically I'm trying to avoid the -25 Penalty, because OUCH that's harsh. More Power will be something we need for basically everything, the Automated Assembly Line looks like it'll help with our current lack of parts, and the Construction Vehicles will nullify the penalty once we've assembled them. The looking for the ancient vehicles isn't really doable anymore, because of the lack of Personal Dice, so instead I am focusing on getting the reorganization done so we still have it after the WAR malus goes away, and then once we have Personal Dice again I'm going to throw four at Recruitment Drives to pick up the other two Department Heads, or at least what I think are Department Heads.
Once we have the +25 Bonus, it should cancel out the -25 Malus and we can build things again without them collapsing in on themselves horribly a quarter of the time, at which point we're going to need to start going down the Tiberium Harvesting->Tiberium Processing->Part Fabrication chain again.
EDIT: Okay so apparently the Assembly Line will take 1 part/die in Phase 2, so yay, that'll be fun to deal with, what with our complete lack of parts and giant maluses.

Seems good. Once we're out of WAR! turns, we should push Tiberium and then Fabrication, and take another swing at Recruiting.

Generally similar at the very least. They pulled out some new toys, you pulled out some new toys, and mostly fought in ways where you did not have disadvantages. Big massive firefights are one of the places where GDI's sheer weight of metal can outmatch even very solidly fought NOD forces.
It applies mostly to the resource part of military developments. Look at cutting typically 5 resources from many of them, but it would apply to rollout as well, mostly by cutting progress needed. It does not apply to everything, but it applies to a bunch of stuff.

Oh that just bumped it up (wanted it but now I might just have to fit it in) spending less resources for the same dice in mil is going to be big as we put 4 to 5 dice a turn into that category
edit- even better fairly easy to make way for 30 R to give it a good shot at finishing next turn (dropped 1 dice from robotics and the yz aquaponics for it)

POLITICS IN THE YELLOW ZONES (canon)
POLITICS IN THE YELLOW ZONES
Life had been good for Hasim. He wasn't really certain how the various departments of the GDI were structured but he agreed with how the one that did yellow zone construction was run well enough to only occasionally grumble about it.
The investment into the yellow zone was met with a wide range of emotions, with recent transplants from the blue zone having a mix of relief and exasperation at the GDI finally getting off their asses to make proper housing. Long time yellow zoners were at best cautious of it or at worst distrusting. Hasim fell into the former group, both not really expecting to get lucky enough to get moved into the new purpose built housing or for the building effort to last. As was the pattern in his life he was quickly proven wrong as whatever inscrutable method the GDI use to pick who got moved to the new housing has his household ( the bureaucrats were very insistent on calling them that, likely because calling it at let them sweep the factors that lead to the impromptu social structures of the yellow zones refugee camps under the rug as being intentional) among one of the first waves of migrants. As a further way for the GDI to cover their asses they were asked if they'd like to move to the housing as one unit or get sent to a different camp to try to find where their actual families were.
Jodi took it up, her cohabitation with Hasim and Pierre mostly being for convenience, Hasim left for the housing along with the 4 little ones in the hopes they'd have an easier life, and to Hasim's surprise Pierre had joined him. The wily old man had managed decades in the yellow zones, survived multiple global wars and done so in surprisingly good health, but no matter how he tried to hide it he was very clearly in the early stages of rock lung and the prospect of Actual Housing and better medical care appealed to him. Also he'd come to genuinely like Hasim over the years they'd lived together, although he would never admit it to anyone especially himself. How could he not? Hasim was naturally likeable and after all these years was practically family. It was why he almost felt bad about what happened during election time.
It was supposed to be practical joke really, put Hasims name into the running for their districts representative, he loses, he gets shit over it for the next few months. All good fun right? Only he'd underestimated how unprepared the parties had been to contest the new seat.
As one of the first people there Hasim had taken on an impromptu role as a guide to living in the new houses for people who'd been in the yellow zones for a while. Many of the groups that had moved in got well acquainted with him, and many recognized him from the refugee camps. By simply doing the same introductions and gift givings he'd done in the yellow zones he'd managed to make himself very well known and liked through out the district. Further more the new seats had been around for two months at the most which heavily diminished the ability for the parties to even just get a few members there, let alone do any real campaigning. With the benefit of hindsight the result of the election was obvious. With the benefit of hindsight. Without it...
99% with a token candidate from the free market party taking up the remained. The politicos were shocked, Hasims district was not the only one to have an upset like that, but it was the first and several "experts" were left scrambling to explain what had happened. Veiled accusations of election rigging, bad counts caused by shoddy connections, and several more wild theories mostly to avoid reckoning with the fact that the blue zones election watchers simply never really thought the yellow zoners would have a complex network of social obligations or how it would effect voting.
Hasim gave out food. Hasim hosted welcoming parties. Hasim learned how the bureaucracy responded to requests and complaints and interacted with it on residents behalf. He'd organized informal classes to teach people who'd never been in a school how to read. And that's on top of all the times he'd helped people out back in the refugee camps. That all made good will and good will was a universal currency in the yellow zones. Even people who didn't like Hasim voted for him, simply because they owed him. For people born and raised in the yellow zones, or even just having spent a few decades in one, not returning the favor when someone owes you was a one way ticket to being ostracized, and when things go wrong that as good as being dead.
The people on the news feed sputtered and tried to cover their asses, the people on the internet got over the shock quickly and immediately started making fun of the people on the news feed, and Pierre and Hasim picked their jaws off the floor while the kids bombarded them with excited questions. Pierre had recovered first.
"Well lets get you proper suit then."
Such was the sequence of events that led to the election of Hasim "Big Has" Aydin, one of the first members of United Yellow List and the GDI's physically largest politician at the time.
Life had been good for Hasim. He wasn't really certain how the various departments of the GDI were structured but he agreed with how the one that did yellow zone construction was run well enough to only occasionally grumble about it.
The investment into the yellow zone was met with a wide range of emotions, with recent transplants from the blue zone having a mix of relief and exasperation at the GDI finally getting off their asses to make proper housing. Long time yellow zoners were at best cautious of it or at worst distrusting. Hasim fell into the former group, both not really expecting to get lucky enough to get moved into the new purpose built housing or for the building effort to last. As was the pattern in his life he was quickly proven wrong as whatever inscrutable method the GDI use to pick who got moved to the new housing has his household ( the bureaucrats were very insistent on calling them that, likely because calling it at let them sweep the factors that lead to the impromptu social structures of the yellow zones refugee camps under the rug as being intentional) among one of the first waves of migrants.

Yes, we're trying to do the OSRCT project in the military, to fill the other half of our obligations. The first half was filled by ASAT.
Ah. For some reason I always included the space industry into the promise. Thanks for the correction.
