We're also not fighting Nod nearly as much as we're fighting Tiberium. Recon Drones all the way, which would also be useful against Nod.

Right now this is what I'm thinking of doing for military but I'm wondering if I should drop something in favour of SADN.
--[] Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment 1 die 10R 0%
--[] Orca Wingmen Drone Deployment (Phase 2) 3 dice 60R 96%
--[] Stealth Disruptor Deployment 1 die 15R 0%
--[] Shark-Class Frigate Shipyards (Seattle) 1 die 20R 0%
--[] Unmanned Support Ground Vehicle Development 1 die 20R 72%
--[] Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment 1 die 10R 0%
--[] Orca Wingmen Drone Deployment (Phase 2) 3 dice 60R 96%
--[] Stealth Disruptor Deployment 1 die 15R 0%
--[] Shark-Class Frigate Shipyards (Seattle) 1 die 20R 0%
--[] Unmanned Support Ground Vehicle Development 1 die 20R 72%

I'd drop one die on the wingman drones because there's no rollover; there's no point in wasting dice when we don't have a lot of wiggle room anyway.
I'd consolidate the dice on the stealth disruptors or the Seattle yards, or cancel one or both projects.
My own lineup would look something like
-[] Military (7/7 Dice + AA Die, +31 bonus, 150 R)
--[] Strategic Area Defense Networks (Phase 4) 125/365 (3 dice, 60 R) (65% chance)
--[] Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment 0/170 (2 dice, 30 R) (58% chance)
--[] Shark Class Frigate Shipyards (Seattle) 0/240 (1+AA dice, 40 R) (0.3% chance, probable result ~1.5/3 dice needed)
--[] Unmanned Support Ground Vehicle Development 1 die 20R (72% chance)

Should we hold off on unmanned vehicles until repulsorplates are done? Do work on the mobile factory instead?

That's an argument I've heard a fair amount of back-and-forth on.
The clincher for me is that we're probably going to be envisioning USGVs as expendable vehicles, and repulsorplates, by virtue of their STU cost, are not a good thing to put on an expendable vehicle.
Also, the vehicles the Talons actually play with are probably going to be to some extent prototypes by nature and the Talons will keep fucking around with the designs once they have production lines because that's what they do- fuck around with prototype weaponry.
Others may disagree with my assessment.

Repulsorplate development is complete. If the idea for them is such that repulsorplates are thought necessary, the design will incorporate them.

Here's something I don't get: why are people going for the last Shark Yard, which will probably need 3 dice to complete, instead of the Island, which will near definitely need only 2? If we do that first and then Sharks next, after Alloys finish, they'll cost less progress and will be more likely to finish with 2 dice, while the Island won't benefit as much.
- Location

1) Because the Shark yard is higher priority in the Navy's opinion.
2) My plan does not have enough dice to have a reasonable chance of finishing the Shark yard anyway, so investing 1-2 dice in 2063Q4 would be an implicit requirement as a 'next step.' The alloy foundries might put us on the cusp of being confident enough of finishing the project with one die rather than two, but frankly, I don't think it's worth this degree of fiddly optimization. It's good enough for me that I'm not going to fuss over how I could eke out -15 Progress reduction in one place instead of -10 in another, in light of (1).

Oh. I forgot about the high priority thing. Yeah, that makes sense.
Still planning to do the Island first on my end, but doing the Sharks first makes sense.

Can't do that. It's Monsoon season in India then. The earliest we could and probably will try is in Q4 64.
Edit:
Listen Simon delaying the yards for a turn in favor of doing Stealth Disruptors so they come online during Karachi and doing the drones so ZOCOM loses less people is more important. I'd be all for the yards, but we should finish the prep for Karachi and then do the Navy aid.

So is Q4 of 64 our go time? Because some of the projects that would support Karachi have rollout times.
For example the Orca drones: (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 16 to complete)
Which means we need to finish Q4 to have them in time for Karachi and unless we want to overkill it would be best to try and finish 2063 Q3 with the idea to spend a die on them Q4 if they do not, and if they do we get another quarter into the rollout.
Looking at it we can also do the 1st phase of GD-3 Q4/Q1 as that is a 3 quarter to start rollout.
Big list of projects that can start to rollout in time for a Q4 2064 Karachi Push
General:
Anti-radiation Munitions Deployment (Munitions) (Progress 100/270: 15 resources per die) (Projected 4 quarters to begin, 8 to complete)
Ferro Aluminum Armor Refits (Refit) (Progress 139/310: 5 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 12 to complete)
Strategic Area Defense Networks (Phase 4) (Progress 125/365: 20 resources per die) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 6 quarters to complete)( phase 2 and 3 will finish the quarter we kick karachi off)
ZOCOM
Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment (Progress 0/170: 10 resources per die) (3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
Sonic has no rollout timeframe listed but would not be a Karachi aid
Airforce
Orca Wingmen Drone Deployment (Phase 2) (High Priority) (Progress 56/230: 20 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 16 to complete)
Ultralight Glide Munitions Deployment (Munitions) (Progress 100/170: 10 resources per die) (0/160 for phase 2 and 3) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete) (phase 1 will finish Q1 of next year from the munitions department so rollout will start the turn we kick off Karachi)
Ground Forces
Railgun Munitions Factories (Phase 3) (Munitions) (Progress 50/165: 10 resources per die) (Projected 1 quarter to begin, 6 quarters to complete) (note our munitions department will finish this Q1 of next year so we will have 3 quarters of rollout or half way without dice investment)
GD-3 Deployment (Phase 1) (Progress 0/295: 10 resources per die) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 18 quarters to complete) (phase 2 and 3 are the same, phase 4 and 5 take longer but also gain the munitions tag)
Stealth Disruptor Deployment (Progress 0/170: 15 resources per die) (Projected 6 quarters to begin, 8 quarters to complete) (would need to do Q3 to have rollout in time for the start of Karachi)
Ground Forces Zone Armor (Set 2) (Phase 1) (High Priority) (We have been teased the project but no rollout times were included, Set 1 were Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 10 quarters to complete so likely around that timeframe)
Navy
Neither ship finishes in 6 turns, Shark does finish in 8 turns so the first wave will still be able to support just not at the start
Steel Talons
Modular Rapid Assembly Prototype Factory (Progress 0/280: 20 resources per die) (Projected: 3 quarters to begin, 16 quarters to complete, will be extended by further MARV hub construction) (we could se some benefit on the construction side for Karachi but not something I would consider essential for the push)

The monsoons end in Q4 and we have been told that we could start work on Karachi then, but we can't focus it down in Q4 because that would cause issues. So Karachi would be started in Q4 with 1-4 Dice depending on who is asked how to make that start and then in Q4 of 65 we surge it.
Basically we want things supporting Karachi to come online in Q4 2064/Q1 2065 so that the main build up from Q4 2064 to Q2 2065 is aided by them.
- Location
- USA
Hmm so Q4 to Q2 most likely for the bulk work....
Note that Q3 has more dice than we can spend, those are just the projects that are best to kick off that quarter in terms of looking at supporting Karachi so pick 6 dice (1 dice to steel talons) with a possible additional 2 dice if we commit free dice, also no discount has been applied for Alloy phase 5 but if we do that Q3 that will discount the projects from Q4 on
2063 Q3 4 turns pre, 5 to start, 7 to finish
Strategic Area Defense Networks (Phase 4) 125/365 3 dice 60R 65% (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 6 quarters to complete) (will finish rollout before Karachi is over even if we need a die on it Q4)
Orca Wingmen Drone Deployment (Phase 2) 56/230 2 dice 40R 54% (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 16 to complete) (just enough time for drones to start being distributed pre Karachi, if we need to finish it next turn then the drones will assist on the 2nd turn of the Karachi push, I am sure command would concentrate deployment on Karachi support to start as that is our most expected area to be contested)
Shark Class Frigate Shipyards (Seattle) 0/240 3 dice 60R 65% (8 turns to deploy the first wave which means they come out after most of Karachi work is done, flip side is that means Navy can take losses and have replacements come online not long after)
Stealth Disruptor Deployment 0/170 2 dice 30R 58% (Projected 6 quarters to begin, 8 quarters to complete) If we want this for Karachi we need to drop 2 dice on it Q3 with a follow up die Q4 if needed
2063 Q4 3 turns pre, 4 to start, 6 to finish
Infantry Recon Support Drone Deployment 0/170 2 dice 20R 58% (3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete) if dones this turn finishes pre Karachi kickoff, some benefit to our troops there though more useful in propping up ZOCOM
GD-3 Deployment (Phase 1) 0/295 4 dice 40R 78% (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 18 quarters to complete) first batch of GD-3 rifles would be available for troops making the push on Karachi and likely be concentrated there, helpful if we run into Gana (even with the Indian warlords neutral they have sold Gana to other Nod groups)
Modular Rapid Assembly Prototype Factory 0/280 3 dice 60R 35% (percentage will increase with Alloy phase 5 finishing to drop progress needed) 3 quarters to start, will help on the construction side at least narrative wise also a steel talon project so something we could do 1 die a turn until it finishes and have it start during Karachi push
2064 Q1 2 turns pre, 3 to start, 5 to finish
Ground Forces Zone Armor (Set 2) (Phase 1) if this is the 2 quarters to begin then we can see some additional Zone Armor concentration in Karachi
Munitions projects: These get 50 a turn
Railgun Munitions Factories (Phase 3) (Munitions) (Progress 50/165) Finishes 2064 Q1 without assist 1Q to start so kicks off pre Karachi, 6Q to finish so will not finish before Karachi is done
Anti-radiation Munitions Deployment (Munitions) (Progress 100/270) Finishes 2064 Q2 4 quarters to begin so will only start helping on the end of the Karachi push
Ultralight Glide Munitions Deployment (Munitions) (Progress 100/170) Phase finishes 2063 Q4, phase 2 finishes 2064 Q3, rollout is 3 quarters to begin so phase 1 rollout will be started in time for Karachi Phase 2 will start during Karachi
Edit- the more i look at the more I am coming around to dropping 2 dice on stealth disruptor since we kind of need to get it done Q3/Q4 for it to have any play in the Karachi push, can delay Orca to Q4

Here, an extremely rough plan that doesn't have anything not in the probably array. So no follow on projects for Lab Meat, Gene Augmentation or Autodocs. If they come up I'll probably change them, though this'll probably need more changes then that as I assume it's over budget. At the same time I don't think it's doing anything out there that's of interest to me and only me. That will change if Inferno Gel comes back.

At this point, I'm no longer really worrying about "can we get this ready in time for Karachi." With SADN's Phase 3 systems likely to be online in time and the Phase 4 systems hopefully at least nearing readiness, we're covered enough against an attack by al-Isfahani's nuclear arsenals that it won't be a crippling setback, I hope.
And aside from that, well... our military is, I think, strong enough. Especially with it seeming to be the case that the Bannerjees are willing to sit this one out. From here out, I want to just make the weapons we agreed to make or that make sense to make, rather than prioritizing other projects we never promised and that may not even be that much more helpful.
Personally, I'm deeply uncomfortable with putting only two dice on SADN. We really do have very good reasons to want the Phase 4 systems to be nearing completion in late 2064, with at least some of the antimissile systems in place and capable of limited operation, especially in areas the military would prioritize for likely attack.
I'd be well content to take a die from the Islands for that, or even the recon drones, even though neither project has any real chance of completion without two dice.

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 1/480: 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, albeit 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 93/260: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
(Progress 0/240: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
[ ] Rail Network Construction Campaigns (Phase 6)
Further work on the rail networks will be focused primarily on preparing the ground for exploitation of the interior, especially in light of the pushes into the Red Zones and creating new environs for Initiative exploitation.
(Progress 1/260: 15 resources per die) (+4 Logistics)
(Progress 0/260: 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 159/220: 25 resources per die) (+5 Logistics)
(Progress 0/160: 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.
(Progress 0/50: 20 resources per die) (-4 Labor) (Can spend mixed Tiberium and Infrastructure dice, at least 1 die must be Tiberium)

(Progress 0/830: 20 resources per die) (+8 Logistics, +4 Housing, -2 Labor) (+India and Iran Stuff)
[ ] 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 31/70: 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.
(Progress 114/165: 10 resources per die) (-5 Housing, +3 High Quality Housing)
(Progress 0/160: 10 resources per die) (-5 Housing, +3 High Quality Housing)
(Progress 0/160: 10 resources per die) (-5 Housing, +3 High Quality Housing)
Heavy Industry (5 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] U-Series Alloy Foundries (Phase 5)
A final phase of U-series alloys will see another shift in GDI's abilities to use metals, and while it won't replace many of the current uses of conventional metals, the industrial impacts have already been substantial, and the current foundries are likely to be core to GDI's future projects in a wide array of cases.
(Progress 136/485: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -1 STUs) (5% discount on many projects)
(Progress 0/480: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -1 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 263/305: 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 36/1925: 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 0/385: 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 143/990: 20 resources per die) (+32 Capital Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (+1 to Infrastructure dice)
(Progress 0/1920: 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 0/160: 25 resources per die) (-2 STUs)
[ ] Second Generation Repulsorplate Factories
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 the Suzuka factory can produce alone, especially if they are to become a somewhat standard feature, rather than a specific exception to the rule.
(Progress 0/560: 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 883/1100: 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 0/1215: 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 252/815: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/810: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/810: 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 83/230: 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 0/125: 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 78/220: 15 resources per die) (+4 Food, +4 Consumer Goods, -2 Energy)
[ ] Dairy Ranches (Phase 3)
Throwing together a final – at least for the moment – wave of dairy ranches, GDI will immediately mothball most of them, as there are currently not enough animals to justify operations. Caretaker staff and training will be needed however.
(Progress 98/180: 20 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -3 Food, -1 Energy, -2 Labor) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] Spider Cotton Plantations (Phase 2)
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)

(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 78/175: 10 resources per die) (+2 Food in Reserve, -3 Food)
[ ] Laboratory Meat Deployment (Phase 1) (New)
Producing sizable amounts of meat products from laboratories is unlikely to be a particularly simple affair. While GDI does not particularly need the meat, it is a symbol of prosperity and signals the good times have returned. It is also noticeably more resource efficient than producing meat products by growing animals.
(Progress 0/180: 15 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -1 Food, -2 Energy)
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.

[ ] 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 29/125: 25 resources per die) (additional income trickle [10-25 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (+1 Energy)
[ ] Red Zone Border Offensives (Stage 5)
A final major offensive across the northern section of Australia will see GDI make good the last of the gains of the Regency War, and reap the economic benefits of the conflict. While still a serious strain on the Zone Operations Command, it is one that likely can be borne, especially if GDI slows down on other red zone operations.
(Progress 158/210: 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 0/200: 30 resources per die) (-3 Logistics, +2 Energy) (additional income trickle [60-90 Resources]) (2 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (1 Stage 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.

[ ] 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 0/160: 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.
(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 11/100: 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 4/115: 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 (Updated)
There are a number of Yellow Zones around the world with little to no Brotherhood presence, mostly in large pockets in the Red Zones created by GDI efforts to mine Red Zone Tiberium. Putting in the effort to properly secure them will allow 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)
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 crystal, allowing GDI abatement crews through their lines is a significant ask, but not an unreasonable one.

[ ] Tiberium Field Refinery Development (Tech) (New)
While the Brotherhood's practice of dumping waste products is not particularly viable for the Global Defense Initiative, especially given the comparative locations, there is a Brotherhood method that can be adapted to the Initiative's needs – specifically, their lightweight field refining methods, which can likely be crammed into the interior of a Mammoth Armored Reclamation Vehicle.

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.

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)

Lunar Operations
[ ] Lunar Mining Projects (New)
Joining together extant and proposed mineral extraction activities on and below the Moon's surface, expansive Lunar mining projects are one of the few immediate ways to bring GDI's orbital operations to some degree of self sustainment, rather than being wholly reliant on Earth's mineral resources.
(Progress 0/210: 20 resources per die) (+15 resources per turn)
[ ] 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 85/275: 25 resources per die) (+4 Health) (-1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods, -1 Labor)
[ ] Autodoc Systems Deployment (New)
While currently politically complicated and psychologically difficult, the autodoc systems represent the potential for a significant increase in GDI's ability to process injuries. Broadly speaking, these are only going to be found in some of the largest and most capable medical facilities, especially those specialized in wound care, and other forms of traumatic injury. Even so, pushing them out will make people nervous, and give politicians opposed to the Treasury ammunition.
(Progress 0/300: 30 resources per die) (+4 Health, +6 Emergency Health, -3 Capital Goods, -3 Energy) (-5 Political Support)
[ ] Cosmetic Biosculpting
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 0/350: 30 resources per die) (+1 Health)
[ ] Library Enhancement Programs
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 0/180: 15 resources per die) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] Durable Goods Library Improvements
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 0/165: 20 resources per die) (-2 Capital Goods) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] University Program Updates
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 137/250: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods) (Increases Labor outputs)
[ ] Primitive Prototype Portal Construction (New)
While a far cry from attempting to create a portal between the stars, constructing an attempt at a surface to orbit portal system, reusing one of the ground based stations, and linking it to a specially constructed geostationary station above it, will be an attempt to create a link at a longer range, and potentially a means of testing even longer ranges.
(Progress 0/400: 100 resources per die)
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)
[ ] Initiative Laser Systems Deployment (New)
While not a system that any particular branch is happy with, a combat deployable laser will find homes among many of the Initiative's assets, from the NovaHawk, to next generation field anti-aircraft systems, and the secondary batteries of Initiative warships. Even in the orbitals, as GDI builds combat capable voidships, will the Infernium laser find a home.
(Progress 0/590: 25 resources per die) (-6 Energy, -3 STUs)
[ ] Anti-radiation Munitions Deployment (Munitions)
With the Brotherhood's methods of concealing their jammers and spoofing tracking known and now understood, deploying updated versions of 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 100/270: 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 0/530: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods) (Projected: 2 quarters to begin, 8 to complete)
[ ] 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 41/435: 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 139/310: 5 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 12 to complete)
[ ] Strategic Area Defense Networks (Phase 4)
A final major phase of the Strategic Area Defense Network, GDI's efforts will expand significantly from aiming towards counterforce strikes to defending against countervalue strikes. While the Brotherhood of Nod has certainly not shied away from mass civilian casualties in the past, the sheer scope of defending GDI's population centers against strikes has made it difficult to justify attempting to build the defenses to any meaningful degree.
(Progress 125/365: 20 resources per die) (-2 Energy, -1 STUs) (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.

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.

[ ] 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.

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.

[ ] 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.

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 0/145: 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 50/165: 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 2) (Phase 1) (High Priority)
While the point of the spear are still equipping themselves with the best that the Initiative can offer, they are a relatively small fraction of the total forces that serve under the striking eagle. A second, substantially larger wave of factories will require both significantly more capital goods, and a sizable workforce to produce enough of the armor to make a difference on those scales.

[ ] 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.
(Progress 0/170: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods, -2 Energy) (Projected 6 quarters to begin, 8 quarters to complete)
Navy
[ ] 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 0/145: 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 0/240: 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
[ ] 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 0/280: 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 two 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)
[ ] 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.
-[ ] Developmentalist: Complete both Library Enhancement Programs
-[ ] 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)
[ ] Predictive Modeling Management
While Artificial Intelligence is far from a panacea, it is a significant way to adjust overall strategic modeling, and make development significantly more predictable. While it will not eliminate the possibility of things going horrifically wrong, it will improve overall outcomes.
(-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 1/480: 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, albeit 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 93/260: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
(Progress 0/240: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
[ ] Rail Network Construction Campaigns (Phase 6)
Further work on the rail networks will be focused primarily on preparing the ground for exploitation of the interior, especially in light of the pushes into the Red Zones and creating new environs for Initiative exploitation.
(Progress 1/260: 15 resources per die) (+4 Logistics)
(Progress 0/260: 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 159/220: 25 resources per die) (+5 Logistics)
(Progress 0/160: 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 31/70: 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 5)
A final phase of U-series alloys will see another shift in GDI's abilities to use metals, and while it won't replace many of the current uses of conventional metals, the industrial impacts have already been substantial, and the current foundries are likely to be core to GDI's future projects in a wide array of cases.
(Progress 136/485: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -1 STUs) (5% discount on many projects)
(Progress 0/480: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -1 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 263/305: 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 36/1925: 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 0/190: 30 resources per die) (+9 Capital Goods, -2 Energy)
(Progress 0/385: 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 143/990: 20 resources per die) (+32 Capital Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (+1 to Infrastructure dice)
(Progress 0/1920: 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 0/160: 25 resources per die) (-2 STUs)
[ ] Second Generation Repulsorplate Factories
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 the Suzuka factory can produce alone, especially if they are to become a somewhat standard feature, rather than a specific exception to the rule.

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 883/1100: 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 235/640: 30 resources per die) (+4 Capital Goods, +8 Energy) (-2 Logistics) (+5 Political Support)
(Progress 0/1215: 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 252/815: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/810: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/810: 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 83/230: 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 0/125: 10 resources per die) (+6 Food) (-1 Labor, -1 Logistics)
(Progress 0/125: 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 78/220: 15 resources per die) (+4 Food, +4 Consumer Goods, -2 Energy)
[ ] Dairy Ranches (Phase 3)
Throwing together a final – at least for the moment – wave of dairy ranches, GDI will immediately mothball most of them, as there are currently not enough animals to justify operations. Caretaker staff and training will be needed however.
(Progress 98/180: 20 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -3 Food, -1 Energy, -2 Labor) (+5 Political Support)
[ ] Spider Cotton Plantations (Phase 2)
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 78/175: 10 resources per die) (+2 Food in Reserve, -3 Food)
[ ] Laboratory Meat Deployment (Phase 1) (New)
Producing sizable amounts of meat products from laboratories is unlikely to be a particularly simple affair. While GDI does not particularly need the meat, it is a symbol of prosperity and signals the good times have returned. It is also noticeably more resource efficient than producing meat products by growing animals.

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.

[ ] 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 29/125: 25 resources per die) (additional income trickle [10-25 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (+1 Energy)
[ ] Red Zone Border Offensives (Stage 5)
A final major offensive across the northern section of Australia will see GDI make good the last of the gains of the Regency War, and reap the economic benefits of the conflict. While still a serious strain on the Zone Operations Command, it is one that likely can be borne, especially if GDI slows down on other red zone operations.
(Progress 158/210: 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 0/200: 30 resources per die) (-3 Logistics, +2 Energy) (additional income trickle [60-90 Resources]) (2 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (1 Stage 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.

[ ] 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 0/160: 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 11/100: 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 4/115: 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)

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 (Updated)
There are a number of Yellow Zones around the world with little to no Brotherhood presence, mostly in large pockets in the Red Zones created by GDI efforts to mine Red Zone Tiberium. Putting in the effort to properly secure them will allow 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)
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 crystal, allowing GDI abatement crews through their lines is a significant ask, but not an unreasonable one.

While the Brotherhood's practice of dumping waste products is not particularly viable for the Global Defense Initiative, especially given the comparative locations, there is a Brotherhood method that can be adapted to the Initiative's needs – specifically, their lightweight field refining methods, which can likely be crammed into the interior of a Mammoth Armored Reclamation Vehicle.

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.

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 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.

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.

All of the Initiative's space stations are generally decently equipped with medical supplies. However, they lack cutting edge equipment.

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.

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.

[ ] Autodoc Systems Deployment (New)
While currently politically complicated and psychologically difficult, the autodoc systems represent the potential for a significant increase in GDI's ability to process injuries. Broadly speaking, these are only going to be found in some of the largest and most capable medical facilities, especially those specialized in wound care, and other forms of traumatic injury. Even so, pushing them out will make people nervous, and give politicians opposed to the Treasury ammunition.

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.

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.

With the Brotherhood's methods of concealing their jammers and spoofing tracking known and now understood, deploying updated versions of 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.

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.

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 139/310: 5 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 12 to complete)
[ ] Strategic Area Defense Networks (Phase 4)
A final major phase of the Strategic Area Defense Network, GDI's efforts will expand significantly from aiming towards counterforce strikes to defending against countervalue strikes. While the Brotherhood of Nod has certainly not shied away from mass civilian casualties in the past, the sheer scope of defending GDI's population centers against strikes has made it difficult to justify attempting to build the defenses to any meaningful degree.
(Progress 125/365: 20 resources per die) (-2 Energy, -1 STUs) (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.

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 52/680: 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 0/160: 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 56/230: 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 100/170: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
(Progress 0/160: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
(Progress 0/160: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
[ ] NovaHawk Development (High Priority)
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 0/145: 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 50/165: 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 2) (Phase 1) (High Priority)
While the point of the spear are still equipping themselves with the best that the Initiative can offer, they are a relatively small fraction of the total forces that serve under the striking eagle. A second, substantially larger wave of factories will require both significantly more capital goods, and a sizable workforce to produce enough of the armor to make a difference on those scales.

[ ] 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 0/295: 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 0/170: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods, -2 Energy) (Projected 6 quarters to begin, 8 quarters to complete)
Navy
[ ] 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 0/145: 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 0/240: 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
[ ] 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 0/280: 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 two 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)
[ ] 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.

-[ ] 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)
[ ] Predictive Modeling Management
While Artificial Intelligence is far from a panacea, it is a significant way to adjust overall strategic modeling, and make development significantly more predictable. While it will not eliminate the possibility of things going horrifically wrong, it will improve overall outcomes.
(-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.

[ ] Primitive Prototype Portal Construction (New)
While a far cry from attempting to create a portal between the stars, constructing an attempt at a surface to orbit portal system, reusing one of the ground based stations, and linking it to a specially constructed geostationary station above it, will be an attempt to create a link at a longer range, and potentially a means of testing even longer ranges.

Overall knocking out some plan goals which will leave us more free moving forward.
Right so some revised thoughts- 1 dice on postwar housing as we dont want to rush that, instead doing one phase over 2 turns allows us to move all the pop into HQ (+2 from arcology department and +3 from the refits), we also have the ability and funds to finish suborbital so knock that out, and for the last dice start working on YZ fortress towns to solidfy our borders and open up GZ harvesting if we want to pursue that as a low income and YZ mit source in the future.
For HI- finish phase 5 of the alloy and knock out a phase of new fusion plants which covers energy expenditure this turn and means we keep a reserve of energy in case we shift dice or have demand spikes in the future and also means we are not going to run into issues with taking 1st gen plants offline.
For LCI finish Reykjavik and start on Bergen since we have the funding for it, Reykjavik is a plan goal and a nice boost of cap goods and energy.
Agri- working on getting at least 1 phase of reforest prep done before elections, we have a small chance to finish it this turn, either way this sets us up well to try and finish the goal to have 2 phases done by the end of next year which means we are not leaving a plan goal to the last minute like the last 4 year plan. Also work on lab meat rollout.
Tib- 1 dice on border offensive to avoid stressing zocom while also progressing a plan goal, 2 dice to work on the refit plan goal (which we have 10 turns to get 6 phases down so lets roll that out over time), plus each phase improves our STU production. Finish the 2 Tib inhibitor deployment, keep coordinated abatement rolling and do the project to get us more STU to play with
Orbital- We need both stations done to unlock followup stations and so full speed ahead to make sure we do not miss the plan goal, which we are getting close to halfway through the plan and are less than 25% done with the goal.
Services- Finish a plan goal and work on a labor improvement, and start on a library project.
Mil- Try and knock out phase 4 of SADN, make a push on the Orca (plan goal) both of which are plan goals, do the last steel talon plan goal and also try and knock out the MARV project because thanks to tib we can get STU from MARVs so I anticipate some heavy MARV investment in the coming years so I want that project done first
Bureau- Making two promises we can keep, swapping to 2d50 and putting an AA die on starting some hospitals in space

While a far cry from attempting to create a portal between the stars, constructing an attempt at a surface to orbit portal system, reusing one of the ground based stations, and linking it to a specially constructed geostationary station above it, will be an attempt to create a link at a longer range, and potentially a means of testing even longer ranges.
(Progress 0/400: 100 resources per die)
This is going to eat up R so I guess hold off on transferring funds for a bit, we can probably do 1 die a turn in future turns to not wreck our budget

Overall knocking out some plan goals which will leave us more free moving forward.
Right so some revised thoughts- 1 dice on postwar housing as we dont want to rush that, instead doing one phase over 2 turns allows us to move all the pop into HQ (+2 from arcology department and +3 from the refits), we also have the ability and funds to finish suborbital so knock that out, and for the last dice start working on YZ fortress towns to solidfy our borders and open up GZ harvesting if we want to pursue that as a low income and YZ mit source in the future.

Right! So, I've a couple of plans I'd like to share.
This plan focuses down the Alloys - there is a 27% chance, with this set of dice, that we completely go through Phase 6. If not, there is a high likelihood of only needing 1-2 dice to finish out that project.
In Infra, we continue doing shuttles and housing retrofits.
In Heavy Industry, beyond the alloys, we keep working on keeping up our energy surplus.
In LCI, we finish Reykjavik (hopefully), capping that off and giving us an additional capgoods/energy bump, and develop Adaptive Clothing.
In Tiberium, we finish our last promised (and available) offensive in the Red Zones, do a Deep Glacier mine, finish a couple of Inhibs, and do coordinated abatement.
In Orbital, we finish off Columbia (hopefully) or get it within one dice of completion, finish Shala 4, develop the life support processors, and begin the Hospital Bay. Here, I am willing to not begin the Hospital Bay in favor of increasing Columbia's odds of success.
In Services, we continue working on University Program Updates, do the Library Enhancement Programs, and begin Cosmetic Biosculpting.
In Military, we work on finishing Phase 4 SADN, complete Phase 2 of the Orca Wingmen (probably), do USGV dev, and do the Gov-A dev project so that NEXT TURN we can do Navy Turn
Bureaucracy is 2 dice into Shala.
This one's a little different! Rather than going full-bore into Alloys, we finish Phase 5, probably overcomplete a little in to Phase 6 for later, and do the MFC Labs + begin the Repulsorplate Factories. The purpose of this is to remove/complete competing priorities for Boston Dice - which we should begin no sooner than Q4 and no later than Q1.
Beyond that, these two plans are identical, save for this one being able to afford to put Erewhon on Shala.
Both of these plans are, obviously, heavily Heavy Industry focused, as projects there give us a great number of benefits across the board and will have great impact in plans going forward. HI deserves a little love, and I aim to give it that
Plan Goals worked by both plans:
Projects
Deploy Orca Wingman Drones by end of 2065 (54% to finish this turn)
Develop and deploy Governor-A refit
Complete at least 2 Blue Zone Inhibitors by end of 2065 (both should finish this turn)

Wow, I thought that the Field Refining Tech from the NOD gacha was just going to be an automatic bonus to resources from Tiberium harvesting and/or increased processing limit. But Tiberium Field Refinery Development giving our MARVs the ability to produce STU is surprisingly impactful for a project that has a decent chance of only needing one die to complete. Wonder if the downside is that it either requires a expensive deployment project afterwards, or if it only gives fractions of a STU point.

New project:
[ ] Tiberium Field Refinery Development (Tech) (New)
While the Brotherhood's practice of dumping waste products is not particularly viable for the Global Defense Initiative, especially given the comparative locations, there is a Brotherhood method that can be adapted to the Initiative's needs – specifically, their lightweight field refining methods, which can likely be crammed into the interior of a Mammoth Armored Reclamation Vehicle.
(Progress 0/80: 25 resources per die) (Makes MARVs produce STUs)
Given our demand for STU producing more seems like a good idea, though we should also do
[ ] 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 0/280: 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)
