[X] Plan The Crunch is Coming

It's a little bit of a meme but I made a plan that tries to spend money on the expensive things we've still gotta do before the budget evaporates, and more importantly I think spams a bunch of Red Zone mining so that next turn or two it can be paired with "The Crunch is Here" where we do as many dice as we can afford on glacier mining plus Saarland/Tib processing to get our income back. It'll really sting for two turns but it'll minimize the effects of the budget crunch overall, I think just biting the bullet and getting it over with and damn whatever other sectors have to get cut is a decent strategy as long as we're sprinting directly for a specific goal and not just making that general policy.

I'm willing to gamble on the 80-something percent chance of finishing the Enterprise on only two dice so I can put that last 30R into more Yellow Zone housing instead, but if somebody likes the plan in general except that's just too much of a dealbreaker let me know. I'm willing to make a variant that drops a die on Fortress Cities to get a third on Enterprise instead, or hell you just make it yourself if you want you have my full blessing.
 
I agree that once we complete the goal by building enterprise phase 2 we should build ASAT but not at this time as ASAT benefits from fusion dice and will be 30-40R cheaper if done that way(it could complete with 3 dice at 60R or 4 at 80R) instead of 120R for doing it with non fusion dice.

390/435

The new version of my foundation plan, 2 dice on Saarland sets us up for an increase of refining capacity early next plan and solving the capital good crisis.
A large investment in blue zone power makes it almost sure we get it done and get a start on the next phase.
Only 390 resources are spent as we can use those next plan when the budget has been redistributed.
 
[X] Plan Power and ASAT

With reduced income and a large requirement of electrical power on almost every major project, getting more power now is critical to prevent needing to wait for further expansions in later turns.

I'm saving them for next turn because they're dirt cheap, focusing Infra on more expensive things just for this last turn of plentiful budget, next turn when our budget gets slashed and most of what we do have goes into more Tib mining is the perfect time to do the 5R/die projects.



Re: the power plants, I don't think we desperately need it this turn, it's another good project to finish off in the first half of 2054 while we're short on budget. If we sprint through to the end of the power plants now what are we going to do next year? The factories everyone wants the power for are even more expensive, we won't have the money to build them anyways until we get a couple income generators going. Rushing the full stage of power now feels like jumping the gun just a little bit, next turn we're going to have like ~200R total budget and 150 of that is probably going to go straight down the glaciers/orbital cleanup hole. Saving the last few dice of the power grid for early 2054 sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

I'm also not super comfortable building dozens of long-term civilian nuclear reactors from "bare concrete slab" to "full operation" in three months, I know shock labor is so last century but even for GDI that feels like it's a bit much. I know we can throw up a field-expedient military model with prefabbed sections that fast but those are explicitly military field reactors that you probably don't want sitting next to your major urban area for 30 years.
