Losing the two free dice and the twenty cap goods sort of makes that absolutely impossible right now. That would be devastating.
Well... in my opinion anyway.

It's something there's support for, but -20 Capital Goods is a heavy price to pay and -2 Free dice is painful.
Think about just how much we'd be giving up to do this, and you'll see why it hasn't happened yet.
Big projects not being roll based isn't even that great in and of itself; when you roll 10-20 dice on a project the law of averages tends to catch up. It's the stuff with 1-3 dice requirements that tends to be swingy.

I've said before that if/when we increase the dice cap we may unlock ways to get more dice. It's part of the reason in the past I've been so insistent about spinning off new departments.
Currently we're at/near the cap so it's hard to find ways to increase dice. If/when we have more room we may get projects to unlock more dice.

If there is any real assurance that we will quickly get back the dice we lose to an option like this, then it kind of defeats the mechanical purpose of making us sacrifice the dice in the first place.
I think the loss of Free dice with the long range planning option is inherent to the logic of the option itself- the kind of Treasury that can meticulously plan out megaprojects years in advance with no "swinginess" or unpredictability is by nature less flexible and less able to divert resources back and forth to prioritize different departments. In other words, fewer Free dice.

Most of our early Consumer Goods projects were computer based. Pretty much everybody has access at least to personal computer system of some sort.
Libraries would be more about the physical location, physical items, for access to information.
Just because one has a computer, that doesn't mean one would not like a depository of books.

Did you people forget that we have equipment libraries? Because:
We did those in Q3 and Q4 of 2055. This is going to be either a new consumer goods action or, more likely, we now have enough capital goods to store in those libraries and need to expand the libraries to be able to receive them.
Can imagine it's especially so for anyone from the yellow zones.

Infrastructure (5 dice +27 bonus)
[ ] Blue Zone Arcologies (Stage 4)
Continuing development of the arcology system will add yet more cities to the list of those with an arcology and expand existing complexes. While it will be expensive, these symbols of Initiative might remain in high demand.
(Progress 1/510: 15 resources per die) (+8 High Quality Housing, +4 Consumer Goods, +1 Energy Reserve, -2 Energy)
[ ] Yellow Zone Fortress Towns (Phase 7)
The last pair of Fortress Town waves will focus heavily on preparing a more rigid defensive line, although one that is in many cases tens or hundreds of kilometers deep. Positioned to dominate the surrounding areas, these towns are intended to provide the base for future bands of defensive fortifications.
(Supports Green Zone Intensification)
(Progress 93/270: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
(Progress 0/255: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
[ ] Rail Network Construction Campaigns (Phase 5)
As GDI consolidates its hold on the far flung territories and begins trying to develop backwater blue zones technically held by the Initiative but with little to no actual development beyond the basics of Tiberium mitigation and abatement, significantly more rail is needed to begin laying out a commuter network, and more broadly encourage settlement and development in the reclaimed regions.

(Progress 0/275: 15 resources per die) (+4 Logistics)
(Progress 0/275: 15 resources per die) (+3 Logistics)
[ ] Suborbital Shuttle Service (Phase 2)
GDI's fleet of Leopard shuttles has reached a point where at any given time some significant portions are sitting without mission payloads. By retasking them towards suborbital shuttles, they would be able to reach anywhere in the world in a matter of hours at most. This will allow GDI to further tighten the bonds between Blue Zones and significantly cut travel times for critical supplies.
(Progress 110/225: 25 resources per die) (+5 Logistics)
(Progress 0/170: 25 resources per die) (+8 Logistics)
[ ] Karachi Planned City (Phase 1)
Formerly the largest city in Pakistan, Karachi is a prime location for being the Himalayan Blue Zone's primary connection to the outside world. Rather than relying on exposed train lines towards the Russian and Korean Blue Zones, Karachi would serve as a logistics hub, with a much shorter connecting line to the Himalayas, and a port complex. That port complex will service ships running to the Arabian, Australian, and New Zealand Blue Zones, improving connectivity and acting as a forward base towards securing the northern parts of India.

[ ] Emergency Caloric Reclamation Processor Installations (Phase 2)
With a first wave of Caloric Reclamation Processors built and deployed, a second wave will not be too difficult. However, it is likely to result in political pushback, especially without further expansions to strategic food stockpiles.
(Progress 31/75: 10 resources per die) (+5 Food in reserve) (-5 Political Support)
[ ] Postwar Housing Refits (Phase 1)
The housing built immediately postwar is generally considered to be of low quality and simply not up to the overall standards of the Initiative. Rebuilding them to be livable rather than merely inhabitable is possible, but requires substantial reworking of the floorplan and facilities to provide the required space needed to meet standards.

Heavy Industry (5 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] U-Series Alloy Foundries (Phase 4)
While there is not an unlimited field of needs for the U series alloys, the effective field is so large that GDI is unlikely to be able to fill total need with available supplies of appropriate stable transuranic materials, without at minimum compromising any other goals.
(Progress 32/510: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -2 STUs) (5% discount on many projects)
(Progress 0/510: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -2 STUs) (5% discount on many projects)
(Progress 0/510: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -2 STUs) (Improves Tib mining efficiency)
[ ] Second Generation Continuous Cycle Fusion Plants (Phase 2) (Updated)
With second generation plants a proven concept, GDI needs a relatively rapid pace of construction, with the first of the first generation plants expected to begin reaching serious failures in a matter of years, and the limitations on construction speeds meaning that total production is noticeably bottlenecked.
(Progress 75/310: 20 resources per Die) (+19 Energy) (-1 Labor) (No more than three dice can be spent on 2nd Generation CCF per turn)
[ ] North Boston Chip Fabricator (Phase 5) (updated)
A fifth and final expansion to the North Boston complex, this will focus not just on expanding chip fabrication, but also on a number of new technologies. While it is unlikely that these technologies will completely replace existing designs, there are a number of edge cases where inferior performance in one aspect is made up for by superior performance in others.
(Progress 36/2040: 15 resources per die) (+35 Capital Goods, +16 Consumer Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (Required for further AI projects.)
[ ] Aberdeen Isolinear Fabricator (Phase 1) (updated)
A large scale practical fabricator in Aberdeen is a first step towards large scale conversion from conventional to isolinear computing. While most computing purposes do not need anywhere near the sheer power that isolinear can deploy at human usable scales, there are quite a number that do.
(Progress 0/100: 30 resources per die)
(Progress 0/205: 30 resources per die) (+9 Capital Goods, -2 Energy)
(Progress 0/410: 30 resources per die) (+18 Capital Goods, -4 Energy)
[ ] Nuuk Heavy Robotics Foundry (Phase 4)
With the initial production shock labored into existence, further development is predicated on massive investment and expansion of the project, laying massive production lines, and setting them in motion towards one of the largest projects ever envisioned by the Global Defense Initiative.
(Progress 143/1040: 20 resources per die) (+32 Capital Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (+1 to Infrastructure dice)
(Progress 0/2040: 20 resources per die) (+64 Capital Goods, -2 Labor, -16 Energy) (+1 to Infrastructure dice)
[ ] Microfusion Cell Laboratories
Any deployment of the microfusion cells is going to be on a distinctly small scale, in large part due to the combination of the need for hydrogen fuel, and the sheer cost in elerium to produce stable, usable fusion in a package that can be effectively man-portable. However, there are many jobs where the sheer energy density of an MFC would be useful both to the military and more civil administrations.
(Progress 0/170: 25 resources per die) (-2 STUs)
[ ] Second Generation Repulsorplate Factories (New)
With the repulsorplate finally offering significant edges in a wide variety of specialist roles, building enough to supply the Initiative as a whole is somewhat problematic, and will require far more than what Suzuka alone can produce as a starting point, especially if they are to become a somewhat standard feature, rather than a specific exception to the rule.
(Progress 0/595: 25 resources per die) (+8 Logistics, +8 Capital Goods,-4 STUs, -6 Energy, -2 Labor) (Unlocks further military and space projects)
Light and Chemical Industry (4 dice +24 bonus)
[ ] Reykjavik Myomer Macrospinner (Phase 5)
At this point, Reykjavik's macrospinner is entering its final form, a substantial district of the city in its own right, and one of the largest complexes in the world for the production of new components for everything from combat arms to advanced training robots for the military able to simulate Brotherhood combatants.
(Progress 553/1120: 20 resources per die) (+8 Capital Goods, +4 Energy) (Reduces cost of mech and zone armor projects)
[ ] Bergen Superconductor Foundry (Phase 4)
Scaling up production once more will allow superconductors to find their way into a wide array of products, ranging from the ordinary to ones that most people will never see in their lives. Particle accelerators, fusion plants, network interchanges, cogeneration facilities, and a wide array of other elements will be significantly improved by more widespread availability of superconductors.
(Progress 235/665: 30 resources per die) (+4 Capital Goods, +8 Energy) (-2 Logistics) (+5 Political Support)
(Progress 0/1290: 30 resources per die) (+8 Capital Goods, +16 Energy) (-3 Logistics) (+10 Political Support)
[ ] Adaptive Clothing Development
While the Brotherhood of Nod primarily uses chameleonware as a means of providing a "smart" camouflage against a wide variety of backgrounds, the Initiative is more interested in civilian fashion uses of this technology, especially as many of the Initiative's uniforms make widespread use of localized camouflage already.
(Progress 0/60: 15 resources per die)
[ ] Department of Distributed Manufacturers
Development of light industrial workshops across the Initiative is a critical component of long term industrial development. Instead of focusing on highly complex, and often experimental manufacturing processes, these will use older, tried and tested methods to produce significant goods that need less transport, and employ larger numbers of people.
(+1 Capital Goods per turn, -20 resources per turn, -1 Light and Chemical Industry die)
Agriculture (6 dice +29 bonus)
[ ] Reforestation Campaign Preparations (Phase 1)
While actively regreening the world is certainly premature, between the continued expansion of Tiberium underground and the continued war with the Brotherhood of Nod, some efforts can be taken immediately to stabilize vast amounts of now-barren land reclaimed from Tiberium and begin the long march towards rebuilding functional soils.
(Progress 0/835: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/835: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/835: 5 resources per die)
[ ] Agriculture Mechanization Projects (Phase 2)
Expanding the robotization of agriculture to rapidly improve the total food supply will require vast numbers of units, produced in dozens of robot foundries around the world but mostly supplied by Nuuk and the myomer macrospinners, with their efficiencies creating cascade effects.
(Progress 83/235: 15 resources per die) (+12 Food, -1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods)
[ ] Blue Zone Aquaponics Bays (Phase 6)
Building more aquaponics bays at this point will do little to increase food diversity, instead building up a backlog of dual purpose crops tentatively earmarked for livestock feed.
(Progress 18/130: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food) (-1 Labor, -1 Logistics)
(Progress 0/130: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food) (-1 Labor, -1 Logistics)
(Progress 0/130: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food) (-1 Labor, -1 Logistics)
[ ] Vertical Farming Projects (Stage 5)
A fifth and likely for the moment final wave of vertical farms will expand the system to the tertiary cities, smaller facilities often far from the Initiative's core territorial holdings, many of which are in reclaimed yellow zones. While far from being food deserts as defined in the late 20th century, many of these regions struggle with access to fresh and high quality foods, especially when attempting to plan for supply disruptions.
(Progress 78/225: 15 resources per die) (+4 Food, +4 Consumer Goods, -2 Energy)
[ ] Dairy Ranches (Phase 2)
While further expansions will not result in immediate expansions in production, there are still political reasons to focus on this area. Although the large-scale production of meat, dairy, and the wide array of other animal products will take time to spin up, continuing to work on this will be of political use for the Treasury.
(Progress 163/190: 20 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -3 Food, -1 Energy, -1 Labor)
(Progress 0/185: 20 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -3 Food, -1 Energy, -2 Labor) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] Spider Cotton Plantations (Phase 3)
While the Initiative has made significant strides in the area, and the private sector has expressed quite a bit of interest in the field, there is still significant need for spider cotton derived capital goods that are going to be the core of the Initiative's program. (Plant Genetics)

[ ] Tarberry Plantations (Phase 3)
While the developmental work and the widespread deployment of Tarberries has begun, they are still only a relative fraction of the Initiative's need for fuel, despite the widespread electrification of the Initiative's energy needs.
(Plant Genetics)
(Progress 3/70: 10 resources per die) (+1 Energy)
(Progress 0/70: 10 resources per die) (+1 Energy)
[ ] Strategic Food Stockpile Construction (Phase 5)
While localized caches are useful, more central positioning and expansion of existing larger stockpiles will be critical for allowing GDI to centralize refugee populations and continue to offer key services.
(Progress 78/180: 10 resources per die) (+2 Food in Reserve, -3 Food)

(Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (+2 Food in Reserve, -3 Food)
[ ] Caloric Reclamation Processor (Phase 1)
While incredibly politically unpopular, Caloric Reclamation systems can make existing food production go much further, taking otherwise wasted foods and turning them into shelf stable noodles and bricks for later consumption.

(Progress 0/70: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food, +2 Food in reserve) (-15 Political Support)
[ ] Laboratory Meat Development (New)
While herds of animals are all well and good, and do provide a wide variety of products, especially with the standard nose to tail processing methods that the Initiative practices, they are not a viable solution for deep space development, and are simply too slow to develop. Producing large quantities of cultured cells under controlled conditions will make satisfying the demand for meat a much easier process compared to building ranching domes.
(Progress 0/100: 15 resources per die)
Tiberium (7 dice +39 bonus)
[ ] Tiberium Vein Mines (Stage 9)
The rapid development of underground Tiberium mining has pushed the Initiative towards digging deeply and greedily, searching for dangerous treasures deep below ground. While the mines are becoming progressively more expensive, they are still worthwhile from both environmental and economic perspectives.

[-] Yellow Zone Tiberium Harvesting (Phase 11)
With the risk of nuclear exchange far too high at this time, further offensives into the Yellow Zones are not viable.
(Progress -/300: 20 resources per die) (small additional income trickle [5-15 Resources]) (3 points of Yellow Zone Mitigation)
[-] Intensification of Green Zone Harvesting (Stage 9)
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.
(Progress 3/85: 15 resources per die) (small additional income trickle [5-15 Resources]) (1 point of Yellow Zone Mitigation) (0 Stages available)
[ ] Red Zone Tiberium Harvesting (Stage 12)
A strike up the Congo river is a substantial investment, but one that can be maintained under current conditions. While further expansion of the attack on the Red Zones is a high priority practically and politically, there are other driving requirements at this time.
(Progress 29/130: 25 resources per die) (additional income trickle [10-25 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (+1 Energy)
[ ] Red Zone Border Offensives (Stage 4)
With the Initiative now controlling significant stretches of territory along the edges of Red Zones, it is high time to begin exploiting them for their resources. While it will be expensive to do so, this kind of work can both fuel an economic boom, and push back the Red Zones while expanding GDI control.
(Progress 93/225: 25 resources per die) (Additional income trickle [15-35 resources]) (3 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (+2 Energy)
(Progress 0/215: 25 resources per die) (Additional income trickle [15-35 resources]) (3 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (+2 Energy)
[ ] Deep Red Zone Tiberium Glacier Mining (Stage 4)
Deep in the Red Zones, Tiberium glaciers are some of the most dense concentrations of Tiberium available. With GDI able to put its railheads directly next to Tiberium mines, these are some of the fastest ways to surge Tiberium production from a single site.
(Progress 0/215: 30 resources per die) (-3 Logistics, +2 Energy) (additional income trickle [60-90 Resources]) (2 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (0 Stages available)
[ ] Red Zone Containment Lines (Stage 6)
With GDI having put its beachheads at the edges of the Red Zones, a further expansion of the containment lines is viable. While somewhat constrained by the limits of the Zone Operations Command, it will both support the Initiative's Forgotten allies, and put more pressure on the Brotherhood's back lines.

There are currently no open glacier faces for expansion of mining activity.
(Progress 38/180: 30 resources per die) (-5 Logistics, +1 Energy) (additional income trickle [45-65 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (0 Stages available)
[ ] IHG Tiberium Processing Plants (Stage 1)
Building a first wave of Improved Hewlett Gardener plants will noticeably increase GDI's supply of Stable Trans-Uranic materials. While significantly more expensive to operate, especially as the last of the kinks in the process are worked out, the wonder materials are enough of a priority to make this worthwhile.
(Progress 0/170: 35 resources per die) (+450 processing capacity) (-4 Energy, -3 Logistics)
[ ] Improved Hewlett-Gardener Refits (Phase2)
While there are now IHG plants in production, and a number of smaller and secondary plants in the middle of the conversion process, there is still a significant amount of work to be done before even touching the grandiose assemblages of Jeddah, Chicago, or similar.

(Progress 0/340: 35 resources per die) (Converts remaining processing capacity)
[ ] Tiberium Inhibitor Deployment
With the inhibitor prepared, it is time to begin arranging for deployment. While each will be significantly energy expensive and require a major investment of resources, it is now one of the fastest routes to abate the Tiberian menace.
(For Yellow and Red Zones, project is unlocked once all allocated MARV hubs are completed)
[ ] Improved Tiberium Containment Facilities Construction (Phase 2)
While there is some significant amount of reserve capacity, it is something where more will very rarely hurt, either as a stopgap to allow GDI to build new capacity, or to mitigate damages from Brotherhood or alien attack. It is, however, not an immediate priority, and more investing in precautions against a future that may not come.
(Progress 11/105: 20 resources per die) (+500 Tiberium Reserve)
[ ] Liquid Tiberium Power Cell Deployment (Phase 3)
For many in the Initiative, liquid Tiberium is nearly existentially terrifying. Between the destruction of Central Australia, the consequences of the detonation of Temple Prime, and the ongoing devastation caused by Red Zones around the world, continuing to push liquid Tiberium energy is likely to be a bridge too far for many in the Initiative, even with the cover of the Director on your side.
(Progress 4/120: 20 resources per die) (-10 Political Support) (+10 Energy)
[ ] Enhanced Harvest Tiberium Spikes (Platform)
Developing a model of Tiberium Spike that not only harvests Tiberium but also marginally speeds its growth is a quite radical idea. Based on GDI's work with the Tiberium Inhibitor and experience with the Scrin's Growth Accelerators, it would substantially increase the throughput, but at the risk of spreading Tiberium more quickly.
(Progress 0/180: 20 resources per die) (-5 Political Support per die) (MS)
[ ] Red Zone Energy Refits (Phase 1)
While the layouts of existing Red Zone harvesting operations are dramatically inefficient for the ion storm collectors compared to the proposed models, refitting some number of operations will have significant power savings for the rest of the Initiative's energy system.

[ ] Forgotten Experimentation
While active human experiments are a step too far for the Initiative, the Forgotten are themselves an interesting case, and specifically the causes of their mutations. Initiative scientists believe that they can find a common root cause of their changes, and more broadly examine commonalities in genetic, chemical, and other makeup, with the long term goal of finding means of reliably offering a means other than tiberian infusion to survive exposure to the crystal.
(Progress 0/260: 30 resources per die) (MS) (-5 Political Support)
[ ] Secure Yellow Zones (New)
There are a number of yellow zones around the world with little to no Brotherhood presence, in large part pockets in the Red Zones created by GDI efforts to mine Red Zone Tiberium. Putting in the effort to properly secure them will both allow for GDI to make gains in the near term, and build up GDI's pointilist empire, creating bases for further operations around the world.

[ ] Coordinated Abatement Programs (Phase 1) (New)
While GDI and the Brotherhood of Nod have quite a few disagreements, and many elements within the Brotherhood worship Tiberium, not all of them do, and for those with more sane ideas about the crystals, allowing GDI abatement crews through their lines is a significant ask, but not an unreasonable one.

Orbital (7 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] GDSS Columbia (Phase 5) (Updated)
The final planned expansions to the station, adding another two thousand souls to its population, have been started, but there is still much work to be done, with the array of bays available, and the broader problem of shifting the station from a rapidly constructed habitation to something that is livable as a long term project. (Station)
(Progress 324/1045: 20 resources per die) (2k Permanent residents) (+3 available Bays) (10 Political Support)
[ ] GDSS Columbia Bays (2 available)
[ ] GDSS Shala (Phase 4)
As Shala has been rapidly expanded, the station is still somewhat skeletal, especially in the core and the periphery, but at the same time it has bulked out, with new residencies, new agricultural platforms, workshops and docking ports. Continuing expansion will see significant work done to expand food production and see additional farmland made available for transport across the solar system. (Station)

-[ ] Gravitic Shipyard
With the exception of GDIS Pathfinder, GDI cannot effectively reach beyond the moon in a reasonable amount of time. While the throughput of a fusion craft is higher within that boundary, attempts to exploit Martian and belt resources, let alone materials beyond the belt, require the construction and maintenance of dozens of gravitic drive ships capable of long range transits. While still too limited in acceleration to move people and materials off Earth, the same problem certainly does not apply to many of the other areas of interest in the solar system. (Station)
(Progress 392/425: 30 resources per die) (-2 STU, -1 Capital Goods)
-[ ] Fusion Shipyard
Currently, all GDI fusion craft are designed with the ability to climb out of the Earth's gravity well as a core function. However, with the moon and beyond as goals of GDI's space program, the need for substantial numbers of heavy transit vessels is critical. Large fusion tenders, either in short-legged manned, or long-legged unmanned designs can serve to fill key niches as part of a complex of transport solutions across the solar system. (Station)
(Progress 446/475: 20 resources per die)
Lunar Operations
[ ] Lunar Regolith Harvesting (Phase 3)
The silicate compounds in the Moon's crust contain extractable levels of iron, titanium, and aluminum, making them incredibly useful as a source of bulk materials. While processing will require massive amounts of energy in some cases, it is also a useful beginning point for developing the solar system.
(Progress 57/250 20 resources per die) (+15 Resources per turn)
[ ] Lunar Heavy Metals Mines (Phase 4)
Heavier metals such as titanium, iron, magnesium, and many others are incredibly useful for a wide variety of industrial and aerospace technologies. There are many subsurface deposits scattered across the moon, some of which are economical for extractive activities.

Discovered near the south pole of the Moon, small water deposits are currently worthless to the Initiative, but with settlements currently being planned, it is likely to be a key part in ensuring that future settlement is viable without support from Earth.
(+2 Lunar Water)
[-] Helium-3 Harvesting
The lunar surface is not protected by a magnetic field, and so has been bombarded by helium-3 in significant quantities. While still scarce, there are a few regions of the lunar surface that have been found to have notably high concentrations that are going to be economically viable to extract.
[ ] Life Support Processor Development (New)
While most of the Visitors assets did not need oxygen and the like in the same way that humanity does. They did use a significant number of systems that did to one extent or another, and the life support systems that they used are nothing less than miraculous. While GDI's systems are good, they are nowhere near as compact, efficient, and stable as those used by the visitors, and building derived systems should make exploring deep space significantly safer.
(Progress 0/80: 30 resources per die)
Services (4 dice +32 bonus)
[ ] Advanced Electronic Video Assistant Deployment
The Advanced EVA system will need substantial pools of computer supplies for deployment, but should substantially improve the overall output of the Initiative. It will also require significant assistance from the field, which makes it somewhat problematic for immediate deployment beyond the need for capital goods.

[ ] Regional Hospital Expansions (Phase 2)
While currently, there are few real needs for further expansion in the health sector, the Initiative's population is likely to continue aging, and with the diseases of the old, time of response is critical, as is increasing the automation levels to deal with what is likely to be a sharp decrease in workforce availability in the coming decades.
(Progress 85/280: 25 resources per die) (+4 Health) (-1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods, -1 Labor)
[ ] Autodoc Systems Development
A next generation of medical automation, derived from CABAL's inner workings, the autodoc is likely to be a particularly scary project, with most Initiative citizens uncomfortable with the idea of an AI or EVA working on them, especially without direct human supervision. However, between their battlefield utility, and the need to prepare for workforce shortages in the coming decade, it is not so much a choice as a requirement.
(Progress 52/120: 30 resources per die)
[ ] Cosmetic Biosculpting (New)
While something of an affectation, there are a wide array of options for GDI to begin programs to make people more comfortable in their bodies. While obviously limited by bone structure, muscle mass, and the need to avoid making harmful changes, the program would be a significant step in both reconstructive and cosmetic assistance for many of GDI's citizens.
(Progress 0/360: 30 resources per die) (+1 Health)
[ ] Human Augmentation Programs (Tech) (New)
While there are many areas where GDI is not particularly comfortable augmenting the human body, there are other areas where there is little good argument against it. Ranging from implanted hormonal regulators, to the array of genefixes that can be done to improve the health and wellbeing of the Initiative's population, there is much that can be done actively, rather than leaving it to the vagaries of evolution.
(Progress 0/120: 30 resources per die)
[ ] Library Enhancement Programs (New)
While GDI maintains, and has maintained for decades an expansive and up to date public and research library system, plus a significant digital environment for both preservation and accessibility, a major round of updates to the library network would certainly not go amiss, especially as the library buildings themselves are often significantly multirole.
(Progress 0/185: 15 resources per die) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] Durable Goods Library Improvements (New)
While the Durable Goods libraries were an immediate postwar economizing measure to make sure that resources such as electric motors were not being wasted, in the decade since their introduction they have become a part of Initiative life that few people are interested in moving away from. Improving their selection and making more goods available to them would be both politically useful and socially supportive.
(Progress 0/170: 20 resources per die) (-2 Capital Goods) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] University Program Updates (New)
While the university system and the Initiative's research institutions have been pumping out breakthroughs at a pace not seen since at least the latter half of the 20th century, the results have been far from evenly spread. A relative handful of elite universities such as Oxford and the University of Tokyo have snapped up much of the funding and expertise, creating a narrow pipeline for personnel to be trained in breakthrough technologies. While fixing that will not be an easy process, it is something that can be remediated.
(Progress 0/255: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods) (Increases Labor outputs)
Military (7 dice +31 bonus)
[ ] Department of Refits
With the military looking towards updating, replacing and refitting much of its equipment, there will need to likewise be an update, replacement and refit of the production and handling facilities. Spinning this function off into a dedicated department will increase efficiency while decreasing the Secretary of the Treasury's workload.
(-1 die) (-30 resources per turn) (30 progress towards each refit project per turn)
[ ] Anti-radiation Munitions Deployment (Munitions)
With the Brotherhood's methods of concealing their jammers and spoofing tracking known and now understood, deploying updating the Initiative's specialized radio source hunting munitions into the field in both ground launched and airborne varieties will allow Initiative commanders to make significantly better use of land, air, and orbital sensor systems, thinning the fog of war.
(Progress 50/300: 15 resources per die) (Projected 4 quarters to begin, 8 to complete)
[ ] Electronic Countermeasures Improvements (Refit)
While clearing jamming is all well and good, punching through it without expending masses of munitions and inherently alerting the Brotherhood to the Initiative's actions is, in many cases, better. While refitting the computer based sensor and communications systems will be a sizable undertaking, GDI will need the edge in future conflicts, especially as the Brotherhood will likely change their frequencies soon after realizing that they have been so deeply compromised.
(Progress 0/565: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods)
[ ] ASAT Defense System (Phase 5)
With the final station of the current pattern deployed, it is high time for diversification. Kinetics, lasers, and tactical ion cannons, among other options, are the future of the global network of missile interception platforms, ones that will be more resilient than ever against the threats of the Brotherhood of Nod, and beyond that, act as a defensive screen against further extraterrestrial invasion. (Station)
(Progress 41/445: 20 resources per die)
[ ] Military Particle Beam Development (Tech)
While the Initiative is unwilling to make use of the liquid Tiberium power packs that make infantry versions of the Brotherhood's particle beam system work, the weapon does have a place in supplementing the Initiative's machine guns and autocannons, mounted on everything from hydrofoils, to zone armor and various forms of light vehicles.
(Progress 0/100: 20 resources per die)
[ ] Ferro Aluminum Armor Refits (Refit)
Fe-Al armor offers a cheaper and more effective means of protecting some sections of GDI's more lightly armored forces. However, it will require some significant effort to make the deployment happen due to the sheer number of factories that require changes to their procedures to account for the new armor.
(Progress 139/320: 5 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 12 to complete)
[ ] Strategic Area Defense Networks (Phase 2)
Expanding the program to some selection of GDI's more vulnerable primary cities, locations like New York, Tokyo, and other strategic crossroads of global production, logistics, and population for the Initiative, will both defend against the potential for terror attacks, and protect critical infrastructure and governmental resources.
(Progress 149/285: 20 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 6 quarters to complete)
(Progress 0/320: 20 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 6 quarters to complete)
[ ] Reclamator Hubs
While Massive Armored Reclamation Vehicles proved themselves on the field of battle in the Third Tiberium War, they are difficult to construct and maintain in the field in significant numbers. By establishing regional hubs, MARV units can harvest and process more Tiberium, allowing for more units to be supported.
(20 resources per die) (Tiberium dice can be used, each project requires at least two military dice before Tib dice can be used)
Zone Operations Command
[ ] Zrbite Sonic Weapons Deployment (Phase 2) (High Priority)
While the Zone Operations Command has begun using the sonic projectors in wide scale, at least as fast as they are coming off the lines, they are not the only ones who can make use of them. Deploying projectors not only to ZOCOM but to the other branches, and giving ZOCOM itself far more of them will significantly aid GDI's ability to maintain operations in the deeper parts of the yellow zones, and across global red zones, especially as they can mitigate the Tiberium infestations that produce a significant part of total losses in those operations.
(Progress 52/720: 20 resources per die) (-2 Energy, -2 STUs, -1 Capital Goods)
[ ] Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment
While the drones themselves are mostly made from off the shelf components, cheap, and simple to build at that, they still need dedicated space for production lines in light industrial districts, and integration into the military's procurement and logistics systems.
(Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
Air Force
[ ] Orca Wingmen Drone Deployment (Phase 2) (High Priority)
While the project is currently underway for naval aviation, and high priority land based air projects, GDI will need substantially more to mitigate for wartime expected loss rates, and provide for lower priority operations, such as interdiction support, the ZOCOM air wings, and training cadre for new pilots.
(Progress 56/240: 20 resources per die) (-1 Labor, -3 Energy, -1 Capital Goods) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 16 to complete)
[ ] Ultralight Glide Munitions Deployment (Munitions)
Deploying widespread glide munitions will take a significant pool of time and resources. While they will not replace the full spectrum of Initiative weapons, anything to extend standoff ranges and allow the Initiative to preserve both pilots and airframes is worth serious consideration at a minimum.
(Progress 50/175: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)

[ ] NovaHawk Development
The Firehawk, as GDI's core premier combat aircraft is at this point very long in the tooth, and even with upgrades is simply no longer capable of performing in all of its roles. With the amount of new technology available, and even newer technology being built, a near complete redesign is required. However, with the number of parts currently in service, trying to reuse as many of them as possible is considered to be best practice in terms of both pilot familiarity and ease of manufacture.
(Progress 0/40: 15 resources per die)
Space Force
[ ] Orbital Nuclear Caches
GDI has maintained an increasingly small nuclear stockpile in fortified strongpoints around the world. During the Third Tiberium War, as in previous wars, the Brotherhood of Nod expended significant effort to seize nuclear devices. In order to better secure that arsenal, building a number of small stations in orbit should place them well out of reach of the Brotherhood. Beyond that, adding and upgrading to the arsenal would be a stage of preparation to actually make them usable in politically acceptable ways. (Station)
(Progress 0/150: 20 resources per die) (MS)
[ ] Transorbital Fighter Development (Platform)
While GDI does not expect another Scrin attack anytime soon, building prototypes for transorbital capable fighters, able to conduct operations in space and the upper atmosphere, is a relatively high priority as both a line of defense and a way to begin developing tactics and strategies for warfare amid GDI's orbitals.
(Progress 0/60: 20 resources per die)
Ground Forces
[ ] Railgun Munitions Factories (Phase 3) (Munitions)
Railgun munitions will initially be issued in small numbers. Only a handful of shells will be needed per tank, likely below five percent of the load of munitions. Even this limited supply will increase the tactical flexibility of the weapons by a great deal.
(Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (-1 Labor, -1 Energy) (Projected 1 quarter to begin, 6 quarters to complete)
[ ] Next Generation Armored Support Vehicles (Platform)
The Guardian APC has served the Initiative well for decades. However, with both the new railgun systems, and the need for mass deployment of Zone Armor, it is simply no longer fit for service. Its role will be filled by a mark 2 of the same name, intended to be roomier on the inside, with better armor shaping for the new ablat plates, and an upgraded weapons system. Additionally, there is need for a second core platform, built with tracks rather than wheels, in order to support much heavier armor and protect troops during direct assault and maneuvers in the face of ever heavier Brotherhood fire.
(Progress 0/80: 25 resources per die)
[ ] Next Generation Armored Fighting Vehicles (Platform)
The Mammoth and Predator are fundamentally old designs at this point, having long reached the limits of what can be managed in terms of design. A fundamental redesign, although still likely to retain many of their features, is required to make space for further upgrades and revisions as GDI prepares to fight the next war.
(Progress 0/80: 35 resources per die)
[ ] Ground Forces Zone Armor (Set 1) (Phase 6) (Very High Priority)
The Initiative's Ground Forces are ready to begin refitting to an entirely zone armored force. The refit will create a leaner, harder, and drastically more lethal force, one that can engage the best that NOD has to offer and come out on top. While this first wave of factories will only be enough to equip the tip of the spear, that is the area with the most vital set of requirements. A reorganization has permitted the Treasury to more effectively pursue this project, which allows for resources that were earmarked for a factory that completed ahead of schedule to be easily shifted to a factory lagging behind.
Santiago (Progress 127/160: 20 resources per die) (-2 Labor, -2 Energy, -1 Capital Goods) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 10 quarters to complete)
[ ] GD-3 Deployment (Phase 1)
While the GD-3 is a fundamentally simple and conventional design, there are still the challenges of time, and resources. While the most radical proposals include rapidly phasing out the GD-2 within Seo's time in office, more reasonable ones focus on the leading edge of the Initiative's military, and then cycling the production back as GDI deploys ever more units in Zone Armor.

[ ] Stealth Disruptor Deployment
While overall less effective than the still around nine kilometer range of current generation sensors, the stealth disruptor is still a potentially useful tool, and one that needs further development as both an attack surface against such targets as stealth tanks and Vertigo bombers, and as a means of ensuring that next generation stealth combats remain in the Initiative's favor.

Navy
[ ] Infernium Laser Refits (Refit)
While the Infernium lasers will not be completely replacing older CBL designs, they do need to have a system built to produce them in large numbers, some several thousand units, with the expectation of needing hundreds a year going forwards.
(Progress 0/385: 30 resources per die) (-1 STU, -2 Energy) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 24 quarters to complete)
[ ] Governor-A Development (Platform)
The Governor class cruisers are a bit of an oddball in the Initiative fleet. Designed before the advent of modern laser based point defense systems, the ships lack in a number of significant ways, including missing forward aspect anti-missile defense systems. The -A model will be a rather thorough redesign, stripping the Governor of nearly all of its upperworks to reposition a number of features, add a second laser point defense mount, and switch some of its other mounts to Thunderbolt-based missile launchers.
(Progress 0/40: 15 resource per die)
[ ] Island-Class Assault Ship Deployment
While GDI does not need additional shipyards for these ships, the Island-class will put a significant burden on existing supply lines. Hence, a wave of factory expansions for everything from missile launchers to propellers to radar systems will need to be undertaken to provide the needed equipment.

Effectively an Initiative version of the same laser systems found on the Brotherhood's combat vehicles from raider buggies and Venoms to Scorpions and Avatars, this consolidated project aims to roll out lasers in all scales viable for ground and air combat.
(Progress 38/80: 25 resources per die)
[ ] Modular Rapid Assembly Prototype Factory
The Chicago based program has been the overall most successful, and the most straightforward. While the program as a whole will need significant support from MARV hubs for actual functionality, its primary components are off the shelf, and it needs the least technological innovation to begin seeing impact in the field.
(Progress 0/300: 20 resources per die) (-2 Energy, -1 Labor, -1 Capital Goods) (Projected: 3 quarters to begin, 16 quarters to complete, will be extended by further MARV hub construction)
[ ] Unmanned Support Ground Vehicle Development (Tech)
The capture of Brotherhood toolsets and AI development systems for their Mantis Mobile Anti-Aircraft Vehicle provides a strong starting point for the development of support vehicles. Instead of needing to man every vehicle on the ground, automated support vehicles can be used to either mount optional weapons loads, or be sent into dangerous positions rather than risking manned vehicles.
(Progress 0/80: 20 resources per die)
Bureaucracy (4 dice +29 bonus)
[ ] Administrative Assistance
While the bureaucrats of the Treasury are not specialists in the many complex technical jobs the projects need, they are experts in paperwork. By offloading part of a sub-department's administrative work onto the bureaucrats directly, project specialists will have to spend less time writing reports. The extra paperwork involved tends to make this slightly inefficient in terms of manpower though.
(Spend 2 Bureaucracy dice for 1 operations die, that die is rolled without bonuses)
[ ] Transfer Funding to InOps
While Inops is currently happy with their degree of funding, there are projects and security measures that will take more than they can currently justify spending. While sending them money early does mean that it won't be available to the Treasury, InOps can spend it in other ways.
(-60 Resources per Turn) (can be taken three more times)
[ ] Hand Off Capital Goods to Market
Supplying the open Market with capital goods at subsidized or at-cost prices will stimulate growth and increase the efficiency of GDI's labor-hungry industries, especially as the aging workforce demands more automation to keep productivity increasing. However, the Treasury has its own plans for such key industrial supplies.
-[ ] Hand Off 5 Capital Goods
-[ ] Hand Off 10 Capital Goods
[ ] Transfer Funds to the General Pool
Making funding available to the rest of GDI will certainly be politically popular, especially if the Treasury wishes to embark on politically unpopular political lobbying or otherwise ensure that the Treasury's interests are represented.
(-30 Resources per Turn/+5 political support) (Give number of times this is taken in vote)
[ ] Expand Grant Programs
With the Initiative's economy rapidly expanding, more resources is not an immediate need, but at the same time can continue to supercharge growth, as the success of smaller and mid sized companies in expanding their operations has begun to make private careers less of a failure and create opportunities outside of the Initiative.
-[ ] 10 resources in grants.
-[ ] 20 resources in grants.
-[ ] 30 resources in grants.
[ ] Interdepartmental Favors (Updated)
By reaching out to the other departments and providing aid to them, the Treasury can improve its overall position within the broader Initiative. While this will require resource allocation to their projects, that is a small price to pay in exchange for political favor.

[ ] Make Political Promises
While Seo's parliamentary support is currently stable, it is possible to make additional promises to shore up his position, and make parliament and other political figures happy with him. While this will require expansion of the plan goals, it will also provide other benefits.

-[ ] Socialist Party: Complete income goals by Q4 2064.
[ ] Long Term Systematic Planning Organization
While GDI has operated for the last decade on an emergency wartime basis, systematically organizing around a longer term planning basis is likely to save significant resources in the long run, as dedicated teams working on projects long term are noticeably more efficient, and typically put less strain on the system than various attempts at shock efforts.
(-2 Free Dice) (-20 Capital Goods) (Significantly reorganizes project management) (+10 Dice Capacity)

(-10 Capital Goods) (Changes dice to 2d50)
[ ] Trade Programs
While gray and black market trade with the Brotherhood of Nod and its various fronts around the world have never really closed, there have been few times when an active trade can be carried out in a legitimate manner. While GDI is near completely unwilling to make significant concessions, there is some trade that can be conducted, especially through channels opened by recent talks.

Infrastructure (5 dice +27 bonus)
[ ] Blue Zone Arcologies (Stage 4)
Continuing development of the arcology system will add yet more cities to the list of those with an arcology and expand existing complexes. While it will be expensive, these symbols of Initiative might remain in high demand.
(Progress 1/510: 15 resources per die) (+8 High Quality Housing, +4 Consumer Goods, +1 Energy Reserve, -2 Energy)
[ ] Yellow Zone Fortress Towns (Phase 7)
The last pair of Fortress Town waves will focus heavily on preparing a more rigid defensive line, although one that is in many cases tens or hundreds of kilometers deep. Positioned to dominate the surrounding areas, these towns are intended to provide the base for future bands of defensive fortifications.
(Supports Green Zone Intensification)
(Progress 93/270: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
(Progress 0/255: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
[ ] Rail Network Construction Campaigns (Phase 5)
As GDI consolidates its hold on the far flung territories and begins trying to develop backwater blue zones technically held by the Initiative but with little to no actual development beyond the basics of Tiberium mitigation and abatement, significantly more rail is needed to begin laying out a commuter network, and more broadly encourage settlement and development in the reclaimed regions.

(Progress 0/275: 15 resources per die) (+4 Logistics)
(Progress 0/275: 15 resources per die) (+3 Logistics)
[ ] Suborbital Shuttle Service (Phase 2)
GDI's fleet of Leopard shuttles has reached a point where at any given time some significant portions are sitting without mission payloads. By retasking them towards suborbital shuttles, they would be able to reach anywhere in the world in a matter of hours at most. This will allow GDI to further tighten the bonds between Blue Zones and significantly cut travel times for critical supplies.
(Progress 110/225: 25 resources per die) (+5 Logistics)
(Progress 0/170: 25 resources per die) (+8 Logistics)
[ ] Karachi Planned City (Phase 1)
Formerly the largest city in Pakistan, Karachi is a prime location for being the Himalayan Blue Zone's primary connection to the outside world. Rather than relying on exposed train lines towards the Russian and Korean Blue Zones, Karachi would serve as a logistics hub, with a much shorter connecting line to the Himalayas, and a port complex. That port complex will service ships running to the Arabian, Australian, and New Zealand Blue Zones, improving connectivity and acting as a forward base towards securing the northern parts of India.

[ ] Emergency Caloric Reclamation Processor Installations (Phase 2)
With a first wave of Caloric Reclamation Processors built and deployed, a second wave will not be too difficult. However, it is likely to result in political pushback, especially without further expansions to strategic food stockpiles.
(Progress 31/75: 10 resources per die) (+5 Food in reserve) (-5 Political Support)
[ ] Postwar Housing Refits (Phase 1)
The housing built immediately postwar is generally considered to be of low quality and simply not up to the overall standards of the Initiative. Rebuilding them to be livable rather than merely inhabitable is possible, but requires substantial reworking of the floorplan and facilities to provide the required space needed to meet standards.

Heavy Industry (5 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] U-Series Alloy Foundries (Phase 4)
While there is not an unlimited field of needs for the U series alloys, the effective field is so large that GDI is unlikely to be able to fill total need with available supplies of appropriate stable transuranic materials, without at minimum compromising any other goals.
(Progress 32/510: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -2 STUs) (5% discount on many projects)

(Progress 0/510: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -2 STUs) (Improves Tib mining efficiency)
[ ] Second Generation Continuous Cycle Fusion Plants (Phase 2) (Updated)
With second generation plants a proven concept, GDI needs a relatively rapid pace of construction, with the first of the first generation plants expected to begin reaching serious failures in a matter of years, and the limitations on construction speeds meaning that total production is noticeably bottlenecked.
(Progress 75/310: 20 resources per Die) (+19 Energy) (-1 Labor) (No more than three dice can be spent on 2nd Generation CCF per turn)
[ ] North Boston Chip Fabricator (Phase 5) (updated)
A fifth and final expansion to the North Boston complex, this will focus not just on expanding chip fabrication, but also on a number of new technologies. While it is unlikely that these technologies will completely replace existing designs, there are a number of edge cases where inferior performance in one aspect is made up for by superior performance in others.
(Progress 36/2040: 15 resources per die) (+35 Capital Goods, +16 Consumer Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (Required for further AI projects.)
[ ] Aberdeen Isolinear Fabricator (Phase 1) (updated)
A large scale practical fabricator in Aberdeen is a first step towards large scale conversion from conventional to isolinear computing. While most computing purposes do not need anywhere near the sheer power that isolinear can deploy at human usable scales, there are quite a number that do.
(Progress 0/100: 30 resources per die)
(Progress 0/205: 30 resources per die) (+9 Capital Goods, -2 Energy)
(Progress 0/410: 30 resources per die) (+18 Capital Goods, -4 Energy)
[ ] Nuuk Heavy Robotics Foundry (Phase 4)
With the initial production shock labored into existence, further development is predicated on massive investment and expansion of the project, laying massive production lines, and setting them in motion towards one of the largest projects ever envisioned by the Global Defense Initiative.
(Progress 143/1040: 20 resources per die) (+32 Capital Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (+1 to Infrastructure dice)
(Progress 0/2040: 20 resources per die) (+64 Capital Goods, -2 Labor, -16 Energy) (+1 to Infrastructure dice)
[ ] Microfusion Cell Laboratories
Any deployment of the microfusion cells is going to be on a distinctly small scale, in large part due to the combination of the need for hydrogen fuel, and the sheer cost in elerium to produce stable, usable fusion in a package that can be effectively man-portable. However, there are many jobs where the sheer energy density of an MFC would be useful both to the military and more civil administrations.
(Progress 0/170: 25 resources per die) (-2 STUs)
[ ] Second Generation Repulsorplate Factories (New)
With the repulsorplate finally offering significant edges in a wide variety of specialist roles, building enough to supply the Initiative as a whole is somewhat problematic, and will require far more than what Suzuka alone can produce as a starting point, especially if they are to become a somewhat standard feature, rather than a specific exception to the rule.
(Progress 0/595: 25 resources per die) (+8 Logistics, +8 Capital Goods,-4 STUs, -6 Energy, -2 Labor) (Unlocks further military and space projects)
Light and Chemical Industry (4 dice +24 bonus)
[ ] Reykjavik Myomer Macrospinner (Phase 5)
At this point, Reykjavik's macrospinner is entering its final form, a substantial district of the city in its own right, and one of the largest complexes in the world for the production of new components for everything from combat arms to advanced training robots for the military able to simulate Brotherhood combatants.
(Progress 553/1120: 20 resources per die) (+8 Capital Goods, +4 Energy) (Reduces cost of mech and zone armor projects)
[ ] Bergen Superconductor Foundry (Phase 4)
Scaling up production once more will allow superconductors to find their way into a wide array of products, ranging from the ordinary to ones that most people will never see in their lives. Particle accelerators, fusion plants, network interchanges, cogeneration facilities, and a wide array of other elements will be significantly improved by more widespread availability of superconductors.
(Progress 235/665: 30 resources per die) (+4 Capital Goods, +8 Energy) (-2 Logistics) (+5 Political Support)
(Progress 0/1290: 30 resources per die) (+8 Capital Goods, +16 Energy) (-3 Logistics) (+10 Political Support)
[ ] Adaptive Clothing Development
While the Brotherhood of Nod primarily uses chameleonware as a means of providing a "smart" camouflage against a wide variety of backgrounds, the Initiative is more interested in civilian fashion uses of this technology, especially as many of the Initiative's uniforms make widespread use of localized camouflage already.
(Progress 0/60: 15 resources per die)
[ ] Department of Distributed Manufacturers
Development of light industrial workshops across the Initiative is a critical component of long term industrial development. Instead of focusing on highly complex, and often experimental manufacturing processes, these will use older, tried and tested methods to produce significant goods that need less transport, and employ larger numbers of people.
(+1 Capital Goods per turn, -20 resources per turn, -1 Light and Chemical Industry die)
Agriculture (6 dice +29 bonus)
[ ] Reforestation Campaign Preparations (Phase 1)
While actively regreening the world is certainly premature, between the continued expansion of Tiberium underground and the continued war with the Brotherhood of Nod, some efforts can be taken immediately to stabilize vast amounts of now-barren land reclaimed from Tiberium and begin the long march towards rebuilding functional soils.
(Progress 0/835: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/835: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/835: 5 resources per die)
[ ] Agriculture Mechanization Projects (Phase 2)
Expanding the robotization of agriculture to rapidly improve the total food supply will require vast numbers of units, produced in dozens of robot foundries around the world but mostly supplied by Nuuk and the myomer macrospinners, with their efficiencies creating cascade effects.
(Progress 83/235: 15 resources per die) (+12 Food, -1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods)
[ ] Blue Zone Aquaponics Bays (Phase 6)
Building more aquaponics bays at this point will do little to increase food diversity, instead building up a backlog of dual purpose crops tentatively earmarked for livestock feed.
(Progress 18/130: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food) (-1 Labor, -1 Logistics)
(Progress 0/130: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food) (-1 Labor, -1 Logistics)
(Progress 0/130: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food) (-1 Labor, -1 Logistics)
[ ] Vertical Farming Projects (Stage 5)
A fifth and likely for the moment final wave of vertical farms will expand the system to the tertiary cities, smaller facilities often far from the Initiative's core territorial holdings, many of which are in reclaimed yellow zones. While far from being food deserts as defined in the late 20th century, many of these regions struggle with access to fresh and high quality foods, especially when attempting to plan for supply disruptions.
(Progress 78/225: 15 resources per die) (+4 Food, +4 Consumer Goods, -2 Energy)
[ ] Dairy Ranches (Phase 2)
While further expansions will not result in immediate expansions in production, there are still political reasons to focus on this area. Although the large-scale production of meat, dairy, and the wide array of other animal products will take time to spin up, continuing to work on this will be of political use for the Treasury.
(Progress 163/190: 20 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -3 Food, -1 Energy, -1 Labor)
(Progress 0/185: 20 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -3 Food, -1 Energy, -2 Labor) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] Spider Cotton Plantations (Phase 3)
While the Initiative has made significant strides in the area, and the private sector has expressed quite a bit of interest in the field, there is still significant need for spider cotton derived capital goods that are going to be the core of the Initiative's program. (Plant Genetics)

[ ] Strategic Food Stockpile Construction (Phase 5)
While localized caches are useful, more central positioning and expansion of existing larger stockpiles will be critical for allowing GDI to centralize refugee populations and continue to offer key services.

[ ] Caloric Reclamation Processor (Phase 1)
While incredibly politically unpopular, Caloric Reclamation systems can make existing food production go much further, taking otherwise wasted foods and turning them into shelf stable noodles and bricks for later consumption.

(Progress 0/70: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food, +2 Food in reserve) (-15 Political Support)
[ ] Laboratory Meat Development (New)
While herds of animals are all well and good, and do provide a wide variety of products, especially with the standard nose to tail processing methods that the Initiative practices, they are not a viable solution for deep space development, and are simply too slow to develop. Producing large quantities of cultured cells under controlled conditions will make satisfying the demand for meat a much easier process compared to building ranching domes.
(Progress 0/100: 15 resources per die)
Tiberium (7 dice +39 bonus)
[ ] Tiberium Vein Mines (Stage 9)
The rapid development of underground Tiberium mining has pushed the Initiative towards digging deeply and greedily, searching for dangerous treasures deep below ground. While the mines are becoming progressively more expensive, they are still worthwhile from both environmental and economic perspectives.

[-] Yellow Zone Tiberium Harvesting (Phase 11)
With the risk of nuclear exchange far too high at this time, further offensives into the Yellow Zones are not viable.
(Progress -/300: 20 resources per die) (small additional income trickle [5-15 Resources]) (3 points of Yellow Zone Mitigation)
[-] Intensification of Green Zone Harvesting (Stage 9)
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.
(Progress 3/85: 15 resources per die) (small additional income trickle [5-15 Resources]) (1 point of Yellow Zone Mitigation) (0 Stages available)
[ ] Red Zone Tiberium Harvesting (Stage 12)
A strike up the Congo river is a substantial investment, but one that can be maintained under current conditions. While further expansion of the attack on the Red Zones is a high priority practically and politically, there are other driving requirements at this time.
(Progress 29/130: 25 resources per die) (additional income trickle [10-25 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (+1 Energy)
[ ] Red Zone Border Offensives (Stage 4)
With the Initiative now controlling significant stretches of territory along the edges of Red Zones, it is high time to begin exploiting them for their resources. While it will be expensive to do so, this kind of work can both fuel an economic boom, and push back the Red Zones while expanding GDI control.
(Progress 93/225: 25 resources per die) (Additional income trickle [15-35 resources]) (3 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (+2 Energy)
(Progress 0/215: 25 resources per die) (Additional income trickle [15-35 resources]) (3 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (+2 Energy)
[ ] Deep Red Zone Tiberium Glacier Mining (Stage 4)
Deep in the Red Zones, Tiberium glaciers are some of the most dense concentrations of Tiberium available. With GDI able to put its railheads directly next to Tiberium mines, these are some of the fastest ways to surge Tiberium production from a single site.
(Progress 0/215: 30 resources per die) (-3 Logistics, +2 Energy) (additional income trickle [60-90 Resources]) (2 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (0 Stages available)
[ ] Red Zone Containment Lines (Stage 6)
With GDI having put its beachheads at the edges of the Red Zones, a further expansion of the containment lines is viable. While somewhat constrained by the limits of the Zone Operations Command, it will both support the Initiative's Forgotten allies, and put more pressure on the Brotherhood's back lines.

[-] Tiberium Glacier Mining (Stage 13)
There are currently no open glacier faces for expansion of mining activity.
(Progress 38/180: 30 resources per die) (-5 Logistics, +1 Energy) (additional income trickle [45-65 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (0 Stages available)
[ ] IHG Tiberium Processing Plants (Stage 1)
Building a first wave of Improved Hewlett Gardener plants will noticeably increase GDI's supply of Stable Trans-Uranic materials. While significantly more expensive to operate, especially as the last of the kinks in the process are worked out, the wonder materials are enough of a priority to make this worthwhile.
(Progress 0/170: 35 resources per die) (+450 processing capacity) (-4 Energy, -3 Logistics)
[ ] Improved Hewlett-Gardener Refits (Phase2)
While there are now IHG plants in production, and a number of smaller and secondary plants in the middle of the conversion process, there is still a significant amount of work to be done before even touching the grandiose assemblages of Jeddah, Chicago, or similar.

[ ] Tiberium Inhibitor Deployment
With the inhibitor prepared, it is time to begin arranging for deployment. While each will be significantly energy expensive and require a major investment of resources, it is now one of the fastest routes to abate the Tiberian menace.

[ ] Improved Tiberium Containment Facilities Construction (Phase 2)
While there is some significant amount of reserve capacity, it is something where more will very rarely hurt, either as a stopgap to allow GDI to build new capacity, or to mitigate damages from Brotherhood or alien attack. It is, however, not an immediate priority, and more investing in precautions against a future that may not come.
(Progress 11/105: 20 resources per die) (+500 Tiberium Reserve)
[ ] Liquid Tiberium Power Cell Deployment (Phase 3)
For many in the Initiative, liquid Tiberium is nearly existentially terrifying. Between the destruction of Central Australia, the consequences of the detonation of Temple Prime, and the ongoing devastation caused by Red Zones around the world, continuing to push liquid Tiberium energy is likely to be a bridge too far for many in the Initiative, even with the cover of the Director on your side.
(Progress 4/120: 20 resources per die) (-10 Political Support) (+10 Energy)
[ ] Enhanced Harvest Tiberium Spikes (Platform)
Developing a model of Tiberium Spike that not only harvests Tiberium but also marginally speeds its growth is a quite radical idea. Based on GDI's work with the Tiberium Inhibitor and experience with the Scrin's Growth Accelerators, it would substantially increase the throughput, but at the risk of spreading Tiberium more quickly.
(Progress 0/180: 20 resources per die) (-5 Political Support per die) (MS)
[ ] Red Zone Energy Refits (Phase 1)
While the layouts of existing Red Zone harvesting operations are dramatically inefficient for the ion storm collectors compared to the proposed models, refitting some number of operations will have significant power savings for the rest of the Initiative's energy system.

[ ] Forgotten Experimentation
While active human experiments are a step too far for the Initiative, the Forgotten are themselves an interesting case, and specifically the causes of their mutations. Initiative scientists believe that they can find a common root cause of their changes, and more broadly examine commonalities in genetic, chemical, and other makeup, with the long term goal of finding means of reliably offering a means other than tiberian infusion to survive exposure to the crystal.

[ ] Secure Yellow Zones (New)
There are a number of yellow zones around the world with little to no Brotherhood presence, in large part pockets in the Red Zones created by GDI efforts to mine Red Zone Tiberium. Putting in the effort to properly secure them will both allow for GDI to make gains in the near term, and build up GDI's pointilist empire, creating bases for further operations around the world.

[ ] Coordinated Abatement Programs (Phase 1) (New)
While GDI and the Brotherhood of Nod have quite a few disagreements, and many elements within the Brotherhood worship Tiberium, not all of them do, and for those with more sane ideas about the crystals, allowing GDI abatement crews through their lines is a significant ask, but not an unreasonable one.

[ ] GDSS Columbia (Phase 5) (Updated)
The final planned expansions to the station, adding another two thousand souls to its population, have been started, but there is still much work to be done, with the array of bays available, and the broader problem of shifting the station from a rapidly constructed habitation to something that is livable as a long term project. (Station)

-[ ] SCOP Bay
While Columbia is not laid out to take maximum advantage from solar energy, and its organization is not designed for farming, single cell organisms (a mixture of yeast, algae, and a handful of other producers) can be farmed on the station, producing a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that will keep people alive, and serve as a baseline for outsystem feeding as solar energy becomes increasingly less available.

-[ ] Very High Density Housing
While any housing in space is going to be in massive demand, the very highest densities possible may well be a step too far, with cramped accommodations even by the standards of late 20th century space exploration. While it will be livable, and have the capacity to handle large numbers of people, it will not be comfortable or particularly desirable in the long run.
(Progress 0/325: 20 resources per die) (+1.5k Permanent Residents)
-[ ] High Density Housing
By noticeably cutting the population supported, a significant amount of room can be freed up for amenities. While it will still be cramped, it is something that can be worked around with communal spaces and a schedule built to keep people out of their accommodations as much as possible.
(Progress 0/325: 20 resources per die) (+1.2k Permanent Residents)
-[ ] Medium Density Housing
While building essentially standard apartments in space is not a particularly efficient use of resources, Columbia is a testbed and one where the comforts of home may well be needed. If the Initiative is to not simply survive in space, but live and thrive, concessions will have to be made towards the creature comforts that Initiative citizens generally expect.
(Progress 0/325: 20 resources per die) (+0.8k Permanent Residents)
-[ ] Low Density Housing
Building to a much higher standard, and one that, while not as well appointed as an Initiative arcology, is genuinely comfortable by civilian standards, building low density segments may be considered absurdly wasteful by the standards of a full scale evacuation from Earth. However, in the long run, such furnishings are likely to be the aspirational standard that the Initiative may hope to achieve some day.
(Progress 0/325: 20 resources per die) (+0.5k Permanent Residents)
-[ ] Hospital Bay
All of the Initiative's space stations are generally decently equipped with medical supplies. However, they lack cutting edge equipment. While they can theoretically conduct most surgeries developed before the mid 20th century, that is still a fairly limited spectrum, and for most really serious cases, the best that they can be expected to do is stabilize a person for delivery to terrestrial hospital systems. This would fix that.

With GDI's space presence continuously expanding, management and distribution of increasingly civilian passengers and their limited cargo has become more and more complicated. The Spaceport Bay will streamline the connections between earth and all four current GDSS Stations, and future-proof the earth-orbit-lunar traffic of people for the manyfold future increase of orbital and lunar residents needing to move between locations. It will be a central hub for passenger shuttles and have the infrastructure to service to the needs of both the shuttles and their human cargo.

As Shala has been rapidly expanded, the station is still somewhat skeletal, especially in the core and the periphery, but at the same time it has bulked out, with new residencies, new agricultural platforms, workshops and docking ports. Continuing expansion will see significant work done to expand food production and see additional farmland made available for transport across the solar system. (Station)

-[ ] Gravitic Shipyard
With the exception of GDIS Pathfinder, GDI cannot effectively reach beyond the moon in a reasonable amount of time. While the throughput of a fusion craft is higher within that boundary, attempts to exploit Martian and belt resources, let alone materials beyond the belt, require the construction and maintenance of dozens of gravitic drive ships capable of long range transits. While still too limited in acceleration to move people and materials off Earth, the same problem certainly does not apply to many of the other areas of interest in the solar system. (Station)
(Progress 392/425: 30 resources per die) (-2 STU, -1 Capital Goods)
-[ ] Fusion Shipyard
Currently, all GDI fusion craft are designed with the ability to climb out of the Earth's gravity well as a core function. However, with the moon and beyond as goals of GDI's space program, the need for substantial numbers of heavy transit vessels is critical. Large fusion tenders, either in short-legged manned, or long-legged unmanned designs can serve to fill key niches as part of a complex of transport solutions across the solar system. (Station)

Lunar Operations
[ ] Lunar Regolith Harvesting (Phase 3)
The silicate compounds in the Moon's crust contain extractable levels of iron, titanium, and aluminum, making them incredibly useful as a source of bulk materials. While processing will require massive amounts of energy in some cases, it is also a useful beginning point for developing the solar system.
(Progress 57/250 20 resources per die) (+15 Resources per turn)

Heavier metals such as titanium, iron, magnesium, and many others are incredibly useful for a wide variety of industrial and aerospace technologies. There are many subsurface deposits scattered across the moon, some of which are economical for extractive activities.

Discovered near the south pole of the Moon, small water deposits are currently worthless to the Initiative, but with settlements currently being planned, it is likely to be a key part in ensuring that future settlement is viable without support from Earth.
(+2 Lunar Water)
[-] Helium-3 Harvesting
The lunar surface is not protected by a magnetic field, and so has been bombarded by helium-3 in significant quantities. While still scarce, there are a few regions of the lunar surface that have been found to have notably high concentrations that are going to be economically viable to extract.
[ ] Life Support Processor Development (New)
While most of the Visitors assets did not need oxygen and the like in the same way that humanity does. They did use a significant number of systems that did to one extent or another, and the life support systems that they used are nothing less than miraculous. While GDI's systems are good, they are nowhere near as compact, efficient, and stable as those used by the visitors, and building derived systems should make exploring deep space significantly safer.

[ ] Regional Hospital Expansions (Phase 2)
While currently, there are few real needs for further expansion in the health sector, the Initiative's population is likely to continue aging, and with the diseases of the old, time of response is critical, as is increasing the automation levels to deal with what is likely to be a sharp decrease in workforce availability in the coming decades.
(Progress 85/280: 25 resources per die) (+4 Health) (-1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods, -1 Labor)
[ ] Autodoc Systems Development
A next generation of medical automation, derived from CABAL's inner workings, the autodoc is likely to be a particularly scary project, with most Initiative citizens uncomfortable with the idea of an AI or EVA working on them, especially without direct human supervision. However, between their battlefield utility, and the need to prepare for workforce shortages in the coming decade, it is not so much a choice as a requirement.
(Progress 52/120: 30 resources per die)
[ ] Cosmetic Biosculpting (New)
While something of an affectation, there are a wide array of options for GDI to begin programs to make people more comfortable in their bodies. While obviously limited by bone structure, muscle mass, and the need to avoid making harmful changes, the program would be a significant step in both reconstructive and cosmetic assistance for many of GDI's citizens.
(Progress 0/360: 30 resources per die) (+1 Health)
[ ] Human Augmentation Programs (Tech) (New)
While there are many areas where GDI is not particularly comfortable augmenting the human body, there are other areas where there is little good argument against it. Ranging from implanted hormonal regulators, to the array of genefixes that can be done to improve the health and wellbeing of the Initiative's population, there is much that can be done actively, rather than leaving it to the vagaries of evolution.
(Progress 0/120: 30 resources per die)
[ ] Library Enhancement Programs (New)
While GDI maintains, and has maintained for decades an expansive and up to date public and research library system, plus a significant digital environment for both preservation and accessibility, a major round of updates to the library network would certainly not go amiss, especially as the library buildings themselves are often significantly multirole.
(Progress 0/185: 15 resources per die) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] Durable Goods Library Improvements (New)
While the Durable Goods libraries were an immediate postwar economizing measure to make sure that resources such as electric motors were not being wasted, in the decade since their introduction they have become a part of Initiative life that few people are interested in moving away from. Improving their selection and making more goods available to them would be both politically useful and socially supportive.
(Progress 0/170: 20 resources per die) (-2 Capital Goods) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] University Program Updates (New)
While the university system and the Initiative's research institutions have been pumping out breakthroughs at a pace not seen since at least the latter half of the 20th century, the results have been far from evenly spread. A relative handful of elite universities such as Oxford and the University of Tokyo have snapped up much of the funding and expertise, creating a narrow pipeline for personnel to be trained in breakthrough technologies. While fixing that will not be an easy process, it is something that can be remediated.

With the military looking towards updating, replacing and refitting much of its equipment, there will need to likewise be an update, replacement and refit of the production and handling facilities. Spinning this function off into a dedicated department will increase efficiency while decreasing the Secretary of the Treasury's workload.
(-1 die) (-30 resources per turn) (30 progress towards each refit project per turn)
[ ] Anti-radiation Munitions Deployment (Munitions)
With the Brotherhood's methods of concealing their jammers and spoofing tracking known and now understood, deploying updating the Initiative's specialized radio source hunting munitions into the field in both ground launched and airborne varieties will allow Initiative commanders to make significantly better use of land, air, and orbital sensor systems, thinning the fog of war.
(Progress 50/300: 15 resources per die) (Projected 4 quarters to begin, 8 to complete)
[ ] Electronic Countermeasures Improvements (Refit)
While clearing jamming is all well and good, punching through it without expending masses of munitions and inherently alerting the Brotherhood to the Initiative's actions is, in many cases, better. While refitting the computer based sensor and communications systems will be a sizable undertaking, GDI will need the edge in future conflicts, especially as the Brotherhood will likely change their frequencies soon after realizing that they have been so deeply compromised.
(Progress 0/565: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods)
[ ] ASAT Defense System (Phase 5)
With the final station of the current pattern deployed, it is high time for diversification. Kinetics, lasers, and tactical ion cannons, among other options, are the future of the global network of missile interception platforms, ones that will be more resilient than ever against the threats of the Brotherhood of Nod, and beyond that, act as a defensive screen against further extraterrestrial invasion. (Station)
(Progress 41/445: 20 resources per die)
[ ] Military Particle Beam Development (Tech)
While the Initiative is unwilling to make use of the liquid Tiberium power packs that make infantry versions of the Brotherhood's particle beam system work, the weapon does have a place in supplementing the Initiative's machine guns and autocannons, mounted on everything from hydrofoils, to zone armor and various forms of light vehicles.
(Progress 0/100: 20 resources per die)
[ ] Ferro Aluminum Armor Refits (Refit)
Fe-Al armor offers a cheaper and more effective means of protecting some sections of GDI's more lightly armored forces. However, it will require some significant effort to make the deployment happen due to the sheer number of factories that require changes to their procedures to account for the new armor.
(Progress 139/320: 5 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 12 to complete)
[ ] Strategic Area Defense Networks (Phase 2)
Expanding the program to some selection of GDI's more vulnerable primary cities, locations like New York, Tokyo, and other strategic crossroads of global production, logistics, and population for the Initiative, will both defend against the potential for terror attacks, and protect critical infrastructure and governmental resources.

[ ] Reclamator Hubs
While Massive Armored Reclamation Vehicles proved themselves on the field of battle in the Third Tiberium War, they are difficult to construct and maintain in the field in significant numbers. By establishing regional hubs, MARV units can harvest and process more Tiberium, allowing for more units to be supported.

Zone Operations Command
[ ] Zrbite Sonic Weapons Deployment (Phase 2) (High Priority)
While the Zone Operations Command has begun using the sonic projectors in wide scale, at least as fast as they are coming off the lines, they are not the only ones who can make use of them. Deploying projectors not only to ZOCOM but to the other branches, and giving ZOCOM itself far more of them will significantly aid GDI's ability to maintain operations in the deeper parts of the yellow zones, and across global red zones, especially as they can mitigate the Tiberium infestations that produce a significant part of total losses in those operations.
(Progress 52/720: 20 resources per die) (-2 Energy, -2 STUs, -1 Capital Goods)
[ ] Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment
While the drones themselves are mostly made from off the shelf components, cheap, and simple to build at that, they still need dedicated space for production lines in light industrial districts, and integration into the military's procurement and logistics systems.
(Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
Air Force
[ ] Orca Wingmen Drone Deployment (Phase 2) (High Priority)
While the project is currently underway for naval aviation, and high priority land based air projects, GDI will need substantially more to mitigate for wartime expected loss rates, and provide for lower priority operations, such as interdiction support, the ZOCOM air wings, and training cadre for new pilots.
(Progress 56/240: 20 resources per die) (-1 Labor, -3 Energy, -1 Capital Goods) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 16 to complete)
[ ] Ultralight Glide Munitions Deployment (Munitions)
Deploying widespread glide munitions will take a significant pool of time and resources. While they will not replace the full spectrum of Initiative weapons, anything to extend standoff ranges and allow the Initiative to preserve both pilots and airframes is worth serious consideration at a minimum.
(Progress 50/175: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
(Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
(Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
[ ] NovaHawk Development
The Firehawk, as GDI's core premier combat aircraft is at this point very long in the tooth, and even with upgrades is simply no longer capable of performing in all of its roles. With the amount of new technology available, and even newer technology being built, a near complete redesign is required. However, with the number of parts currently in service, trying to reuse as many of them as possible is considered to be best practice in terms of both pilot familiarity and ease of manufacture.
(Progress 0/40: 15 resources per die)
Space Force
[ ] Orbital Nuclear Caches
GDI has maintained an increasingly small nuclear stockpile in fortified strongpoints around the world. During the Third Tiberium War, as in previous wars, the Brotherhood of Nod expended significant effort to seize nuclear devices. In order to better secure that arsenal, building a number of small stations in orbit should place them well out of reach of the Brotherhood. Beyond that, adding and upgrading to the arsenal would be a stage of preparation to actually make them usable in politically acceptable ways. (Station)
(Progress 0/150: 20 resources per die) (MS)
[ ] Transorbital Fighter Development (Platform)
While GDI does not expect another Scrin attack anytime soon, building prototypes for transorbital capable fighters, able to conduct operations in space and the upper atmosphere, is a relatively high priority as both a line of defense and a way to begin developing tactics and strategies for warfare amid GDI's orbitals.
(Progress 0/60: 20 resources per die)
Ground Forces
[ ] Railgun Munitions Factories (Phase 3) (Munitions)
Railgun munitions will initially be issued in small numbers. Only a handful of shells will be needed per tank, likely below five percent of the load of munitions. Even this limited supply will increase the tactical flexibility of the weapons by a great deal.
(Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (-1 Labor, -1 Energy) (Projected 1 quarter to begin, 6 quarters to complete)
[ ] Next Generation Armored Support Vehicles (Platform)
The Guardian APC has served the Initiative well for decades. However, with both the new railgun systems, and the need for mass deployment of Zone Armor, it is simply no longer fit for service. Its role will be filled by a mark 2 of the same name, intended to be roomier on the inside, with better armor shaping for the new ablat plates, and an upgraded weapons system. Additionally, there is need for a second core platform, built with tracks rather than wheels, in order to support much heavier armor and protect troops during direct assault and maneuvers in the face of ever heavier Brotherhood fire.
(Progress 0/80: 25 resources per die)
[ ] Next Generation Armored Fighting Vehicles (Platform)
The Mammoth and Predator are fundamentally old designs at this point, having long reached the limits of what can be managed in terms of design. A fundamental redesign, although still likely to retain many of their features, is required to make space for further upgrades and revisions as GDI prepares to fight the next war.
(Progress 0/80: 35 resources per die)
[ ] Ground Forces Zone Armor (Set 1) (Phase 6) (Very High Priority)
The Initiative's Ground Forces are ready to begin refitting to an entirely zone armored force. The refit will create a leaner, harder, and drastically more lethal force, one that can engage the best that NOD has to offer and come out on top. While this first wave of factories will only be enough to equip the tip of the spear, that is the area with the most vital set of requirements. A reorganization has permitted the Treasury to more effectively pursue this project, which allows for resources that were earmarked for a factory that completed ahead of schedule to be easily shifted to a factory lagging behind.
Santiago (Progress 127/160: 20 resources per die) (-2 Labor, -2 Energy, -1 Capital Goods) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 10 quarters to complete)
[ ] GD-3 Deployment (Phase 1)
While the GD-3 is a fundamentally simple and conventional design, there are still the challenges of time, and resources. While the most radical proposals include rapidly phasing out the GD-2 within Seo's time in office, more reasonable ones focus on the leading edge of the Initiative's military, and then cycling the production back as GDI deploys ever more units in Zone Armor.
(Progress 0/315: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 18 quarters to complete)

(Progress 0/315: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 24 quarters to complete) (Munitions)
[ ] Stealth Disruptor Deployment
While overall less effective than the still around nine kilometer range of current generation sensors, the stealth disruptor is still a potentially useful tool, and one that needs further development as both an attack surface against such targets as stealth tanks and Vertigo bombers, and as a means of ensuring that next generation stealth combats remain in the Initiative's favor.
(Progress 0/180: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods, -2 Energy) (Projected 6 quarters to begin, 8 quarters to complete)
Navy
[ ] Infernium Laser Refits (Refit)
While the Infernium lasers will not be completely replacing older CBL designs, they do need to have a system built to produce them in large numbers, some several thousand units, with the expectation of needing hundreds a year going forwards.
(Progress 0/385: 30 resources per die) (-1 STU, -2 Energy) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 24 quarters to complete)
[ ] Governor-A Development (Platform)
The Governor class cruisers are a bit of an oddball in the Initiative fleet. Designed before the advent of modern laser based point defense systems, the ships lack in a number of significant ways, including missing forward aspect anti-missile defense systems. The -A model will be a rather thorough redesign, stripping the Governor of nearly all of its upperworks to reposition a number of features, add a second laser point defense mount, and switch some of its other mounts to Thunderbolt-based missile launchers.
(Progress 0/40: 15 resource per die)
[ ] Island-Class Assault Ship Deployment
While GDI does not need additional shipyards for these ships, the Island-class will put a significant burden on existing supply lines. Hence, a wave of factory expansions for everything from missile launchers to propellers to radar systems will need to be undertaken to provide the needed equipment.
(Progress 0/155: 25 resources per die) (-2 Labor, -1 Capital Goods) (3 tranches, Projected 16 to complete tranche 1, 24 to complete tranche 2, 32 to complete tranche 3)
[ ] Shark-Class Frigate Shipyards (High Priority)
The Shark is unfortunately of a size that GDI cannot simply reuse an existing ship's extra slipways to build the class. Too small for even the older destroyer shipyards, it needs much of its own dedicated space.
Seattle (Progress 0/255: 20 resources per die) (-6 Energy, -2 Capital Goods) (4 Tranches, Projected: 8 quarters to complete tranche 1, 15 quarters to complete tranche 2, 22 quarters to complete Tranche 3, 29 quarters to complete Tranche 4.)
Steel Talons
[ ] Combat Laser Development (Tech)
Effectively an Initiative version of the same laser systems found on the Brotherhood's combat vehicles from raider buggies and Venoms to Scorpions and Avatars, this consolidated project aims to roll out lasers in all scales viable for ground and air combat.
(Progress 38/80: 25 resources per die)
[ ] Modular Rapid Assembly Prototype Factory
The Chicago based program has been the overall most successful, and the most straightforward. While the program as a whole will need significant support from MARV hubs for actual functionality, its primary components are off the shelf, and it needs the least technological innovation to begin seeing impact in the field.
(Progress 0/300: 20 resources per die) (-2 Energy, -1 Labor, -1 Capital Goods) (Projected: 3 quarters to begin, 16 quarters to complete, will be extended by further MARV hub construction)
[ ] Unmanned Support Ground Vehicle Development (Tech)
The capture of Brotherhood toolsets and AI development systems for their Mantis Mobile Anti-Aircraft Vehicle provides a strong starting point for the development of support vehicles. Instead of needing to man every vehicle on the ground, automated support vehicles can be used to either mount optional weapons loads, or be sent into dangerous positions rather than risking manned vehicles.
(Progress 0/80: 20 resources per die)
Bureaucracy (4 dice +29 bonus)
[ ] Administrative Assistance
While the bureaucrats of the Treasury are not specialists in the many complex technical jobs the projects need, they are experts in paperwork. By offloading part of a sub-department's administrative work onto the bureaucrats directly, project specialists will have to spend less time writing reports. The extra paperwork involved tends to make this slightly inefficient in terms of manpower though.
(Spend 2 Bureaucracy dice for 1 operations die, that die is rolled without bonuses)
[ ] Transfer Funding to InOps
While Inops is currently happy with their degree of funding, there are projects and security measures that will take more than they can currently justify spending. While sending them money early does mean that it won't be available to the Treasury, InOps can spend it in other ways.
(-60 Resources per Turn) (can be taken three more times)
[ ] Hand Off Capital Goods to Market
Supplying the open Market with capital goods at subsidized or at-cost prices will stimulate growth and increase the efficiency of GDI's labor-hungry industries, especially as the aging workforce demands more automation to keep productivity increasing. However, the Treasury has its own plans for such key industrial supplies.
-[ ] Hand Off 5 Capital Goods
-[ ] Hand Off 10 Capital Goods
[ ] Transfer Funds to the General Pool
Making funding available to the rest of GDI will certainly be politically popular, especially if the Treasury wishes to embark on politically unpopular political lobbying or otherwise ensure that the Treasury's interests are represented.
(-30 Resources per Turn/+5 political support) (Give number of times this is taken in vote)
[ ] Expand Grant Programs
With the Initiative's economy rapidly expanding, more resources is not an immediate need, but at the same time can continue to supercharge growth, as the success of smaller and mid sized companies in expanding their operations has begun to make private careers less of a failure and create opportunities outside of the Initiative.
-[ ] 10 resources in grants.
-[ ] 20 resources in grants.
-[ ] 30 resources in grants.
[ ] Interdepartmental Favors (Updated)
By reaching out to the other departments and providing aid to them, the Treasury can improve its overall position within the broader Initiative. While this will require resource allocation to their projects, that is a small price to pay in exchange for political favor.
(Can select multiple)
-[ ] Diplomatic Corps: Complete all phases of Coordinated Abatement by end of Plan: +5 Political Support
-[ ] ZOCOM: Complete Zrbite weapons phase 1, Santiago Zone Armor Factory, and Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment, before any major Red Zone Ops. +ZOCOM gratitude.
-[] Housing: Complete all three phases of Postwar Housing Refits and 1 phase of Rail Network Construction. +2 Political Support
-[] Tiberium Abatement: Complete 1 phase of Red Zone Refits and 6 Blue Zone Inhibitors
[ ] Make Political Promises
While Seo's parliamentary support is currently stable, it is possible to make additional promises to shore up his position, and make parliament and other political figures happy with him. While this will require expansion of the plan goals, it will also provide other benefits.
-[ ] Free Market Party: Complete market releases before elections.
-[ ] Developmentalist: Complete both Library Enhancement Programs and Durable Goods Library Improvements before the elections.
-[ ] Militarist (Crusaders): Begin Karachi before the elections.
-[ ] Militarist (Wardens): Begin Karachi after SADN Phase 1 is fully deployed (Q3 2064).
-[ ] Starbound: Complete Sub-Orbital Shuttles Phase 3, Shala, Columbia, and 2 more housing bays before the election.
-[ ] Socialist Party: Complete income goals by Q4 2064.
[ ] Long Term Systematic Planning Organization
While GDI has operated for the last decade on an emergency wartime basis, systematically organizing around a longer term planning basis is likely to save significant resources in the long run, as dedicated teams working on projects long term are noticeably more efficient, and typically put less strain on the system than various attempts at shock efforts.
(-2 Free Dice) (-20 Capital Goods) (Significantly reorganizes project management) (+10 Dice Capacity)

(-10 Capital Goods) (Changes dice to 2d50)
[ ] Trade Programs
While gray and black market trade with the Brotherhood of Nod and its various fronts around the world have never really closed, there have been few times when an active trade can be carried out in a legitimate manner. While GDI is near completely unwilling to make significant concessions, there is some trade that can be conducted, especially through channels opened by recent talks.

I think I want to take each of these option eventually, just to formalize a white market trade route (with the less hostile warlords) for each and reduce the influence of our grey and black markets (which I suspect disproportionately favor Nod, both in the establishment thereof and blackmailing the people involved), but I'm not all that eager to do so this turn or even this year.
There's soft costs and benefits to trade in general, but the mechanical costs are (outside of consumer goods) painful. Honestly, an IC analysis by our diplo teams on what they perceived the ramifications to be would be very nice for this action, but that might be asking for too much.
Funny thought, I could see the FMP asking us to establish a Consumer Goods export route to Nod.

Some very neat new projects I do want Second Generation Repulsorplate Factories but after we finish the U Alloy. Also the new service University option is a grab for me. The new tib option is interesting, I assume it allows more YZ/RZ conversion?
The "Secure Yellow Zones" option? It's a landgrab for territory that is not actually claimed by anyone currently.

I think we have enough Capital Goods to do this and we should do it as it will greatly reduce the odds of nat 1's as both of a single pair of 2D50's needs to roll a 1 before it is a NAT 1.

Right but we pushed BZ by .19 last turn so .1 is just going to go away, or does it turn RZ into GZ to keep a small GZ going?
Edit- also missing the new dev option for life support in orbital
I think that the Secure Yellow Zines is basically for our "overseas" Red Zone MARV hubs. They are little dots of yellow in a sea of red, unconnected to our blue zones. And I think that they're generally depopulated, as GDI friendlies emigrated to the safe BZs, and the rest either emigrated to Nod warlord territories that weren't next to GDI super weapons or eventually died.
In the past, RZ that we converted to YZ could be automatically converted to GZ the following turn, if said it was adjacent to populated areas under GDI control (GZ/BZ). Though it's a lot harder to visualize without a mapmaker tracking tiberium's relative concentration.

Edit- dropped secure yz for 3 more dice on border offenses should get a 2nd phase done, also moved 1 dice from fusion power down to mil to boost SADN to 7 dice will run us into the 10s for energy surplus but lets us knock the fusion plants next turn to keep us positive with any spending in q3

I believe it turns .1 YZ into .1 GZ.
And thanks, added that into the threadmarked Array.

i dont like the securing yellow zones. ihg refits are more important.
im also not sure about more fusion plants right now

- USA
Well without fusion we are going to be at 15 or 17 and there is a bunch more in energy expenditure that we can do each turn. Also securing YZ has me curious to divert from refits for a turn to try and do the first phase. It sounds like it helps us setup for further operations in the future.

Oh... okay so nice but not so immediate payoff as I would hope, welp 3 dice to move
