Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

[tenchifew]

@Ithillid
What does "minimum of 1680" resources in the quote below mean?
If I am reading this correctly, we need to transfer at least 240 resources over four years with at least 60 resources per year, or do they want 1680 resources over 4 years, because this would be an insane amount, as in a complete GDI yearly budget they are demanding for 10 PS.

The only reason I see not to is if we'd rather do it in Q4. And I'm wobbling on that option because I might want to do political promises AND interdepartmental favors in the same turn.

Click to shrink...

I think that's absolutely fine. I just wanted to put it on the radar. It's only half of the equation with the other half being resources GDI is not ready to spend yet it seems.

It's just however those things were setup? The world is vastly different now so we need a banking system setup for that new reality.

 

[marids]

With Nod getting the upgraded harvester designs reverse engineered in the future, the resource difference between Nod and GDI will become closer in the turns to come. Thus for GDI to maintain the advantage, GDI's economy should be expanded as much as possible before Nod can ramp up in a similar way to catch up economically.

To accomplish such a goal, Tiberium harvesting operations and prerequisite actions must be expanded ASAP, such as the Zone Armor deployment so ZOCOM can finally stop being overworked by everyone else that doesn't have it, for the purpose of being able to pursue more Red Zone operations again, which would then allow Red Zone abatement to continue to grow before mutation renders the current rate of abatement to drop below the average chance of Tiberium growth.

[ ] Intensification of Green Zone Harvesting (Stage 7) (Updated)
A further wave of Green Zone Tiberium harvesting will both improve the logistical connections across the forward Green Zones and provide greater numbers of forward hardpoints and firebases for Initiative troops.

This option should be also be done ASAP with only 1 dice needed to complete it, while not needing more military manpower to accomplish the task since it's already within the secured area, and being mostly beneficial to further stretch the supply line closer to the edges of the existing Yellow Zone to help defend against Nod incursions.

[ ] Advanced Electronic Video Assistant Deployment

Click to shrink...

This option has been long overlooked as something that could've provided benefits across the board. While excusable during the war due to resource and dice shortage, it should be considered to be fully deployed in all categories that are worth deploying in. It's only logical to do the option that can speed up all other options after all.

To maximize efficiency, it should be deployed in the order of Services first to speed up the dice that is used for the option itself, and then secondly for Tiberium to accelerate resource acquisition to pay for the rest, and thirdly Heavy Industry to speed up Capital Goods production and Energy production that is also needed for the deployment. The rest might be useful too, but could all become less efficient in terms of benefits from the field dice bonuses if people keep picking options to lose dice for inefficient passive gains.

 

[Rakuhn]

Which can be impactful for reallocation because we need to secure enough votes as well as the PS cost. So shifting these means demands during reallocation are lighter, or fewer promises are needed to get the plan approved.

Click to shrink...

The other side of that is that if we wait until reallocation, we can make the same promise to multiple parties. Doing it early locks the promise to that party, and that party alone (and may not even improve our bargaining position with that party, if we roll low), and means we'll have to promise even more stuff in the plan goals to everyone else.

And of course, we should also keep in mind that this will help the designated party in the next elections. So, if we were to help the IF (as an example that literally cannot be chosen), we'd be empowering a party that hates us in exchange for a minor shift in support.

We need to be careful to take political promises after careful consideration, rather than just taking what is achievable and available.

Personally, I'm not interested in taking any deals with the Homeland Party. I'd rather not further empower a group that wants to use violence to grab clay for the sake of grabbing clay. When we conquer, I'd prefer that it was for military or economic reasons, rather than revanchism or romanticism. Give our diplomats more space to work on subverting minor warlords and setting up refugee routes, and have our military spend lives and bullets on more important endeavors.

AEVA hasn't been "overlooked", it's been looked at, and judged as not worth the cost. It takes a chunky amount of energy and Capital Goods, locks a die out of being used, and in exchange gives a +3 bonus to one department's dice. It's probably worth doing sometime next plan for a couple departments (probably one or two of Orbital, Tiberium, Military), but it's certainly not the huge thing you're portraying it as.

 

[Simon_Jester]

They are asking for you to turn over 60 rpt starting no later than Q4 2062, another 60 rpt no later than Q4 2063, another 60 rpt no later than Q4 2064, and then a final set of 60 RPT no later than Q4 2065. So, by the end of the plan you are turning over 240 resources per turn.

Click to shrink...

To just InOps.

I confess curiosity as to what they are planning to do with it all. Is this the budget for the memetic "bribe Bintang to switch sides" fund? I am only mostly joking.

Or are they just that overstretched that this is a logical expansion of their normal operating budget? For all I know they're taking up 200 RpT of the government's budget as it is, given that they're up against frickin' Nod.

Or is this not only to InOps?

It's a lot of money but I think we could swing it, seriously. I'm considering it.

With Nod getting the upgraded harvester designs reverse engineered in the future, the resource difference between Nod and GDI will become closer in the turns to come.

Click to shrink...

This is iffier, mainly because I think we have other more important things to do in Tiberium. Namely:

1) Raising our processing cap by constructing more tiberium refineries, because all that economic expansion is useless and I am trying to do the expensive work of preparing for economic expansion as I already plan a massive vein-and-glacier mining surge in early 2062.
2) A Red Zone inhibitor, because shrinking Red Zones is very important.
3) Work on tiberium harvesting claws, because those will be MORE impactful for our long term income prospects thanks to how much more efficient they can make our vein mining operations.
4) Research into Venusian tiberium, which is an existential threat we need to know more about, and also a possible way for us to learn things about tiberium even Nod, possibly even Kane himself, does not know.

I consider all these things more important than the specific Green Zone Intensification option you suggest, though if there are extra Tiberium dice free in 2061Q4 I may have a look at the project, and it will certainly be on my docket the next time there isn't anything more urgent to do in Tiberium. Remember, it's not a bad option, but it's far from our best one.

This option has been long overlooked as something that could've provided benefits across the board. While excusable during the war due to resource and dice shortage, it should be considered to be fully deployed in all categories that are worth deploying in. It's only logical to do the option that can speed up all other options after all.

Click to shrink...

The main obstacle is Capital Goods shortage; we do not have enough to implement it across all categories, and it is particularly problematic to implement it right now because we are trying to use every die to optimal efficiency to complete Plan targets.

To maximize efficiency, it should be deployed in the order of Services first to speed up the dice that is used for the option itself, and then secondly for Tiberium to accelerate resource acquisition to pay for the rest, and thirdly Heavy Industry to speed up Capital Goods production and Energy production that is also needed for the deployment. The rest might be useful too, but could all become less efficient in terms of benefits from the field dice bonuses if people keep picking options to lose dice for inefficient passive gains.

Click to shrink...

I partially disagree with your analysis. Applying it to Services is not necessarily more efficient because of the high initial expense and limited payoff. Right now, we average 74.5 points per die in Services; with AEVA, that goes to 77.5. Either way, we still end up needing to roll three Service dice per action to have an acceptable chance of completing any given AEVA action; all it does is slightly shift the balance of probability.

I think Orbital should be our first target, because Orbital mostly revolves around very large long-lead megaprojects where rolling a tiny +3 bonus can integrate over 20-30 dice into something that actually saves us dice reliably. Heavy Industry second, because it also has a lot of megaprojects, including the Capital Goods megaprojects we need to fund more AEVA development.

Tiberium isn't un-attractive, but it already has by far our largest dice bonus and we've rarely if ever had trouble meeting ambitious Plan targets in that category. Infrastructure is attractive because it includes some sizeable megaprojects (planned cities and arcology waves) and we're likely to have ambitious Plan targets there.

Military and Services are arguably least attractive of the Big Eight because most of our projects there consist of a lot of short-running projects where the only difference an extra +3 on the dice roll makes is usually that we get +3 more points of overkill on a project where that accomplishes nothing for us. Light Industry and Agriculture are somewhere in the middle, better than those two but less attractive than Tiberium, Infrastructure, Orbital, and Heavy Industry.

But again, the problem is finding the Capital Goods to do this. We'd be fools to just ignorantly spend all our Capital Goods surplus on this and this alone while ignoring all other concerns.

The other side of that is that if we wait until reallocation, we can make the same promise to multiple parties. Doing it early locks the promise to that party, and that party alone (and may not even improve our bargaining position with that party, if we roll low), and means we'll have to promise even more stuff in the plan goals to everyone else.

Click to shrink...

Most of the listed promises are things that only one party is likely to ask for. Nobody but the Militarists cares whether we finish the last Shark yard in a hurry, for example.

And of course, we should also keep in mind that this will help the designated party in the next elections. So, if we were to help the IF (as an example that literally cannot be chosen), we'd be empowering a party that hates us in exchange for a minor shift in support.

Click to shrink...

On the other hand, in a case like the FMP, we're empowering the part of the party that likes us. It is to our advantage if FMP thinks it can actually ask us for things that will benefit the expansion of the private sector of the economy (even if that means co-ops benefiting and not the now-dead megacorporations), that is probably better than having FMP in permanent opposition and willing to listen to anyone who proposes to take Treasury down a peg (even Initiative First).

Personally, I'm not interested in taking any deals with the Homeland Party. I'd rather not further empower a group that wants to use violence to grab clay for the sake of grabbing clay.

Click to shrink...

Most of the homelands they want to reclaim are currently under a Red Zone.

If they want to scrape the tiberium off of, say, Israel or Peru or Iran or the American Great Plains, more power to them, I say.

Also, they're so tiny that empowering them is, frankly, fairly safe.

My plan still doesn't do the Improved Hewlett Gardener Process Development because we haven't finished the NOD Gacha yet which might get us some sort of better Tiberium Processing and also I'm aiming for all Plan Goals to be doable in Q4 2016:

- 4 Dice on Suborbital Shuttle Service for a 98% chance and an Average DC of 22 to complete Phase 2 and a 8% chance and an Average DC of
72 to complete the entire Action. Metro expansion is cheap so we should do it after the Shuttle Service is done.

- 1 Die on Advanced Alloys Development for a 30% chance and a DC of 76 to complete. I'm trying not to waste Dice with this one.
- 2 Die on Crystal Beam Industrial Laser Deployment for a 57% chance and an Average DC of 47 of to complete this plan goal.
- 1 Die on Division of Alternative Energy to get some regular Energy income going
- 1 Die on Distributed Heavy Industrial Authority to get some regular Capital Goods income going

- 1 Die on Civilian Drone Factories for a 52% chance and a DC of 49 to complete this Action.
- 1 Die on Carbon Nanotube Foundry Expansions because we have so many uses for Nanotubes, most of them Military including Ablat.
- 1 Die on Artificial Wood Development for a 85% chance and a DC of 21 to reinvent toilet paper properly.
- 1 Die on Department of Distributed Manufactures so we start rebuilding our old-school Capital Goods manufacturing.

- 3 Dice on Agriculture Mechanization Projects for a 61% chance and an Average DC of 46 to complete this action and get us more food.
- 1 Die on Ranching Domes for a 100% chance and a DC of 1 to complete them and get some meat production going unless they autocomplete next turn.
- 4 Dice on Strategic Food Stockpile Construction for a 100% chance and an Average DC of 1 to complete Phase 3, a 90% chance and an Average DC of 32 to complete Phase 4 and a 2% chance and an Average DC of 82 to complete Phase 5. We need Phase 7 done for our plan goal without CRP.

- 2 Die on Tiberium Processing Plants Stage 2 for a 63% chance and an Average DC of 44 to complete this and be done with a plan goal.
- 1 Die on Venusian Tiberium for a 40% chance and a DC of 66 to complete this and finish the Tiberium Heist.
- 4 Dice on Tiberium Harvesting Claw Deployment for a 46% chance and an Average DC of 53 to complete the other harvesting tech deployment and then start vein mines and almost never stop until we hit boreholes.

- 5 Dice and 2 Administrative Assistance Die on Enterprise for a 29% chance and an Average DC of 56 to complete. In other words probably done this turn and if not will need 1-2 Die to finish it in Q4.
- 1 Die on Lunar Rare Metals Harvesting for a 83% chance and a DC of 18 to complete that plan goal.

- 1 Die and Erewhon's Die on NOD Research Initiatives for a 75% chance and an Average DC of 36 to complete that and get the NOD gacha rolling.
- 4 Dice on Regional Hospital Expansions for a 67% chance and an Average DC of 45 to complete Phase 1. We need to get this done people because our new population needs their own hospitals with the way we are building up new towns.

- 8 Dice on Orbital Strike Regimental Combat Team Stations for a 99% chance and an Average DC of 9 to complete Phase 3 and a 42% chance and an Average DC of 58 to complete Phase 4 and be done with this plan goal.
- 1 Die on Escort Carrier Shipyards Newark for a 81% chance and a DC of 20 to complete this plan goal.
- 1 Die on Mastadon deployment for a 61% chance and a DC of 40 to get Steel Talons a new set of bases. Hopefully Steel Talons get new bases next turn.

- 4 Dice on Administrative Assistance on Enterprise so that we can get that done the turn after the next for sure.

 

[BoSPaladin]

We might want to tackle this next turn, but most of these are things we already wanted to do anyway. Hopefully, the fact that we are literally about to complete Ranching Domes anyway may net us Biodiversity's appreciation. I think what the Socialists want is impossible. More on this later as I have no intention of actually doing this action right now.

Ranching domes is a gimme. The thing is, they know it's likely to be done no matter what happens anyway. So Like. Our promising that could get us all of one politician who already supports us, giving us slightly more support. I'm gonna take it. But even at it's best. 3 of them going from mild opposition to mild support. in a parliament of thousands is underwhelming.

Pretty sure, InOps are going to forward on that funding to do stuff like paying for Zocom troopers to be reassigned to InOps batallions to crack down on terror cells. More or less, InOps are going to be spreading some of that wealth around into military stuff they want.

I'd probably be in favor of doing the FMP option just to release the cap goods to the civilian economy earlier than we would other wise be.

Anyways, during the last reallocation, the following goals were demanded by multiple parties:

Spoiler

FMP, Market Socialists, UYL, Developmentalists: Increase Income
FMP, Market Socialists, Militarists: Cap Goods
FMP, Market Socialists: Consumer Goods
Market Socialists, Reclamation: Abatement
Market Socialists, UYL, Socialists: Arcologies
Militarists, Homeland: Karachi
Militarists, UYL: Shells
Militarists, Developmentalists: Tech Devs
UYL, Developmentalists: Processing Limit
UYL, Socialists, Developmentalists: Kudzu
Starbound, Socialists, Developmentalists: Stations

Clearly multiple parties can demand the same benefit. Even ones that seem like they should only belong to one party (shells to militarists) can be desired by others as well. And now that the smaller parties have more members, it's more likely that there will be even more shared goals this time around. Heck, the Developmentalists wanted to finish Chicago, which is pretty big deal-sweetner that we're currently considering giving to Homeland, when we could just wait two turns and promise it to them both (if the developmentalists still want it).

@Ithillid
Can you clarify what the difference is between the Homeland Party and the Reclamation Party?

If we roll poorly on the number of steps given, do we at least get an automatic "+1 promise made" to that party during reallocation, or are we utterly dependent on the increase in support being enough to decrease their demands?

Under the circumstances, I'd rather not spin off both departments here.

This isn't necessarily a BAD plan, but I must question the wisdom of investing on the mechanization right now (when it is strictly optional). If you don't plan to do E-CRP (which isn't in your plan), then you need to finish four phases of stockpiles, and need more dice on that project more urgently than you need to complete the mechanization.

I think it would be more efficient and wise to scrap the mechanization, put one of the freed-up dice on Enterprise, and the other two on the stockpiles. It's best to put AA dice on cheap projects that would otherwise have a low chance of completion, such as Advanced Alloys or the Mastodon factories.

Putting Erewhon on the Nod research is rather clever, you know. Inefficient, but clever.

I want to note that the general public seems happy with the health care system at the moment; even the newly refounded cities have health care, just not fully developed major hospital complexes right next door. Airlift to major hospitals is available nearby, and they have clinics and emergency care. I suggest spending Service dice on ocular implants and genetics research, which are more likely to improve health outcomes in the medium run.

Of course, I will not be voting for your plan, since it has no Zone Armor. Just saying.

Ranching domes is a gimme. The thing is, they know it's likely to be done no matter what happens anyway. So Like. Our promising that could get us all of one politician who already supports us, giving us slightly more support. I'm gonna take it. But even at it's best. 3 of them going from mild opposition to mild support. in a parliament of thousands is underwhelming.

Click to shrink...

True. Then again, I'm planning to make other political promises this turn anyway, so throwing in that gimme would seem to cost us nothing.

It's a project we were always planning to do anyway, and I'm planning to do the Political Promises action anyway, so where's the downside, I ask?

Pretty sure, InOps are going to forward on that funding to do stuff like paying for Zocom troopers to be reassigned to InOps batallions to crack down on terror cells. More or less, InOps are going to be spreading some of that wealth around into military stuff they want.

Click to shrink...

Maybe, but I suspect the great majority of it will be going into more specifically InOps stuff like bribing Nod warlords, expanding their bureaucratic infrastructure for giving people security clearances, and maintaining more security around key locations that might otherwise get hit by terrorists.

I'd probably be in favor of doing the FMP option just to release the cap goods to the civilian economy earlier than we would other wise be.

I'm shaky on the merits of it because we may really need those Capital Goods soon. I foresee another crunch, at least until such time as we can get Nuuk Phase 4 or some other combination of very productive projects up and running.

Anyways, during the last reallocation, the following goals were demanded by multiple parties:

Clearly multiple parties can demand the same benefit. Even ones that seem like they should only belong to one party (shells to militarists) can be desired by others as well. And now that the smaller parties have more members, it's more likely that there will be even more shared goals this time around. Heck, the Developmentalists wanted to finish Chicago, which is pretty big deal-sweetner that we're currently considering giving to Homeland, when we could just wait two turns and promise it to them both (if the developmentalists still want it).

Click to shrink...

Up to a point. Then again, other parties may well react favorably to us making those promises even if they're not specifically trying to extract those promises.

@Ithillid
Can you clarify what the difference is between the Homeland Party and the Reclamation Party?

Click to shrink...

...As I understand it, one is more about "screw tiberium" and the other is more about "retake places we used to live," even though the two have interests in common.

If we roll poorly on the number of steps given, do we at least get an automatic "+1 promise made" to that party during reallocation, or are we utterly dependent on the increase in support being enough to decrease their demands?

Click to shrink...

That... is a good question?

 

[Rakuhn]

And if one is explicitly about retaking land from tiberium, it follows that the people who want to reclaim the land occupied by tiberium will support that party, not the other.

Homeland is about taking land from Nod, with violence. And I'm generally in favor of gaining more land from Nod, but for the sake of strategic or economic gain. Not killing people because our people want to live where the current inhabitants are residing.

Looking at it, maybe we should do the emergency processors for the food reserve and place basically all of our free dice into military / orbit?

We have a 1097~ point commitment in over two turns for the military. We'd need to roll exceptionally well to manage without free dice. As a bonus it frees our agri dice to do milk & honey actions.

 

[Ithillid]

I confess curiosity as to what they are planning to do with it all. Is this the budget for the memetic "bribe Bintang to switch sides" fund? I am only mostly joking.

Basically, to be able to write letters to both krampus and santa telling both "Git gud scrubs. Sincerely, InOps"

More seriously, the point is to build a wide array of defensive and offensive intelligence capabilities, build up a new generation of isolinear based data processing, and take the idea that has been floating around since you recruited the Qatarites of Initiative Shadow Teams and taking it live.

This is enough to push me from tolerating that favor, to actively desiring it.

[Emote Control]

I'm still of the opinion anything we do needs to have at least some Karachi in it, because otherwise the dice curse will eventually cause us to fail our plan goal big time. Besides, Karachi has been lying around since the beginning of the quest, and I'm eager to see what storylines completing it will bring.

Way ahead of you.

Vote Attempting To Supply the Power Armor! Which makes major progress on the thorny OSRCT requirement with an eight-die investment, and also supplies Ground Forces with the power armor they've been asking for since some time in the middle of the last decade, to ZOCOM's great and mighty relief!

It doesn't do ASAT Phase 4, but that's because deliberate overkill spending on ASAT Phase 5 rollover is actively beneficial, saving us money in the long run, since future ASAT Phase 5 dice will cost 30 R/die and we're almost sure to want to do that project since we have several reasons to put more guns in space.

We have a 1097~ point commitment in over two turns for the military. We'd need to roll exceptionally well to manage without free dice. As a bonus it frees our agri dice to do milk & honey actions.

I've been thinking we need to do this since some time in June and drafting plans accordingly. Vote Attempting To Supply the Power Armor, some time an hour or so from now!

You're using 8 dice here, not 7. I believe you accidentally left in the YZ Inhibitor. Also, didn't you want to do the Banking Reform?

This is so good i need this for everything kill all randomness and make it a full on math quest

Click to shrink...

Not really. I did an "experimental" Array test using 2d50s that you can see below. There's still plenty of randomness: The switch reduces the chances of completing a project in fewer dice than average and the chances of not completing a project on more dice than average. But it's still possible to under- or over-shoot projects. Until we have an excess of Capital Goods, it's not likely to be worth doing.

In preparation for the dice changeover in the future, I've generated the following experimental 2d50 Probability Array, where each 'die' rolls 2d50 dice. You can use the recent (normal d100) array update for comparison. Please note that I've only double-checked a few project's probabilities, and there may be errors. I also haven't completely fixed up the formatting. And here's an anydice program to roll for projects with 2d50 dice. It should be accurate, I think.

Lastly, I want to again thank @HousePet for his assistance on the spreadsheet rework, as that made it about 100 times easier to make this.

This is enough to push me from tolerating that favor, to actively desiring it.

Ultra-light materials + hoverships + Sam Fischer skilled teams = ???

Click to shrink...

I will put it in my plan.

I'm still of the opinion anything we do needs to have at least some Karachi in it, because otherwise the dice curse will eventually cause us to fail our plan goal big time. Besides, Karachi has been lying around since the beginning of the quest, and I'm eager to see what storylines completing it will bring.

Click to shrink...

Just so you know, the Navy more or less vetoed working on Karachi this year because they don't have the firepower to defend the landings around Karachi from Nod counterattacks while also guarding convoys all over the world. Unless Bintang, the Bannerjees, and Afghan Nuke Warlord (al-Isfahani, I think?) let us land unopposed (very unlikely), we'd be marching into a disaster.

The deadline for Karachi completion has been pushed forward to 2065Q4. I for one am planning around attempting the project starting in 2063Q4, just after the 2063 monsoon season, by which time the Navy will have been reinforced by about 80-100 frigates and about 18-ish escort carriers, plus hopefully some significant refits and upgrades to its carrier air arms and fleet antimissile defenses if I get my way.

But it's in the plan. We're just not ready yet because we didn't build enough bote sorry.

You're using 8 dice here, not 7. I believe you accidentally left in the YZ Inhibitor.

Click to shrink...

I'll take it out. Thought I fixed that.

Also, didn't you want to do the Banking Reform?

Click to shrink...

I want to do both Political Promises and Interdepartmental Favors in the same turn. I'll do banking reforms next turn.

 

[Simon_Jester]

Minor revisions to the plan draft. Thanks to Derpmind for pointing out a few bugs. @Rakuhn , I put the InOps promise in just for you.

First, yes I am deliberately cutting my sole remaining ASAT die to put three dice on Zone Armor. Zone Armor is important, and four dice on ASAT in Q4 will be actively cheaper in the long run than 2-3 dice now and predictably 1-2 dice later, because we'll need Phase 5 in the next plan as we thicken space defenses and orbital fire platforms, and Phase 5 costs 30 R/die.

Second, swapping out the Colombian Yellow Zone inhibitor for the Venusian tiberium studies.

Third, swapping out the banking reforms for some political promises. Still planning to do banking reforms in Q4.

MONEY BUDGET
1060/1200 R

CAPITAL GOODS BUDGET
+16 (baseline) +6 (crystal beam) -1 (Mastodons) -2 (Newark) -1 (New York) = +18

FOOD BUDGET
+27 (baseline) -5 (refugees) -4 (ranching) -6 (granaries with freeze-drying) = +12
(Yes, I am still making pessimistic assumptions about how much they will eat. +14 if the refugees eat only -3 Food next turn, as they did in 2061Q2)

MILDLY PESSIMISTIC ENERGY BUDGET
+17 (baseline) +10 (crystal beam) -2 (ranching) -4 (refineries) -2 (URLS) -5 (Newark) -3 (Mastodons) -3 (New York) = +8 Energy.

(Obviously, this assumes everything completes; many projects might or might not. 13% chance of +4 more if Bergen completes, 6% chance of -10 less if Crystal Beam doesn't complete, very slim chance of going into negatives if our luck is absolutely ass and everything power-hungry completes but nothing power-generating does)

@Ithillid request for clarification. Are the Market Socialist, MIlitarist, and Starbound political promises for next Plan or this Plan? Unclear on the timeframe. And does the UYL promise refer to a deadline in this Plan, or by the end of next Plan, and is it taking into account the existence of the Bureau of Arcologies? I'm hesitant to make any of those promises until I have clarification there.

The plan I've been tinkering on and off with... turned out to be quite similar to Simon's plan. Let's just call it convergent evolution and hope we don't all turn into crabs.

This doesn't quite get 4 dice on Zone Armor like I wanted, more like 3.5 with AA, but it works towards all our Plan Goals, tries to get two Zone Armor factories, saves some R, and starts up the Banking Reforms this turn to maximize whatever benefits that will bring. I've also got a bunch of tech development going on, like Advanced Alloys, Venusian Tiberium, Genetic Engineering, Hallucinogens, and Ocular Implants.

Edit: Switched a die from Harvesting Claw to do the RZ Inhibitor.

Are the Market Socialist, MIlitarist, and Starbound political promises for next Plan or this Plan?

This plan.

And does the UYL promise refer to a deadline in this Plan, or by the end of next Plan, and is it taking into account the existence of the Bureau of Arcologies?

Next plan, and no, it does not take into account the bureau.
