Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition
- Location
- USA
Update mentioned the public wanting forces deployed, which I guess could be general army instead of ZOCOM so it sounds like it ties down some forces more than we want, though that could be a temporary thing. And yeah with RZ Marvs being a thing we push out we can easily cover the Alloys Phase 6 cost... though I want to knock out Repulsor first, that into Alloy 6 maybe?
Yep at this point if it takes labor and is not needed for plan goals we probably need to wait on it given how tight things are going to get.

I don't think it makes much practical difference. We actually have enough Military dice to do the things we need to do.
@doruma1920 , your count in Military's gotten a little wonky on your last analysis, here:
Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition
Preliminary 2063 Q4 Four Year Plan Required Dice Infrastructure Projects Infrastructure requires the Planned City Project of Karachi and the Post War Housing Refits. Required Projects: -Karachi Planned City Phase 1-5: 0/1610 Progress ~9 dice median --Requires 12 Labor --Provides 20 Logistics...

Now, first, you have the MARV hubs being done entirely with Military dice, never with Tiberium. This may be contraindicated, if we want to build a lot, but it should be noted that Tiberium dice are little or no more available than Military ones. We may want to shift more of the load of building Karachi to Infrastructure dice... However, that is a detail. More to the point, some of your summations seem out of date- a problem I have a lot too. Just going by those numbers of required dice as they stand in your post, I think you should have the Military breakdown be:
Department of Refits (9 dice, assumes we start next turn, lower if we don't)
Red Zone MARV Hub x2 (7 dice)
Orca Wingmen Phase 2 (2 dice)
Transorbital Fighter Development (1 die)
Set 2 Zone Armor Plants x4 (16 dice)
Next Generation ASVs (1 die)
Next Generation AFVs (1 die)
Governor-A Development (1 die)
Governor-A Deployment (~5 dice)
Steel Talons Projects (9 dice)
48 dice required, 63 dice remaining
15 Free dice available.
Am I missing something?
Moreover, it's a deployment into a Blue Zone even if there is a bunch of tiberium contamination threatening to yellow it. It's not the same level of threat, so hopefully it won't impose attrition on ZOCOM.
Well, doing both means we start running into problems with North Boston, I think- and that's an issue none of what's changed really helps with. Among other things, it seems quite likely that the North Boston capstone is important to expanding automation and helping with the Labor crunch.
Enough for what we need to do to meet the plan goals, sure.
I want us to finish the plan with at least some factories for the various new vehicles already built. Plus we're definitely going to do other stuff not on the list

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 277/465: 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 93/250: 20 resources per die) (+4 Housing)
(Progress 0/225: 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 1/245 : 15 resources per die) (+4 Logistics)
(Progress 0/245 : 15 resources per die) (+3 Logistics)
[ ] Suborbital Shuttle Service (Phase 3)
A final and most significant step, prioritizing even more leopards for the suborbital role will make it so that GDI can establish a regular network of flights, and create efficiencies of scale rather than brute forcing the problem. While there are significant limits imposed by the turnaround time of a leopard class fusioncraft, there are also significant advantages.(Progress 27/150: 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 0/780: 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 2)
Expanding the program and shifting yet more housing to higher quality models is something that large parts of the Initiative support in theory, and yet there are substantial groups that oppose it in practice. While the housing is degrading at a noticeable clip, and will eventually either have to be torn down or refurbished, it is a much more complicated question than it first appears.
(Progress 33/150: 10 resources per die) (-5 Housing, +3 High Quality Housing)
(Progress 0/150: 10 resources per die) (-5 Housing, +3 High Quality Housing)
Heavy Industry (5 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] U-Series Alloy Foundries (Phase 6) (Updated)
Shifting goals from bulk alloys to more specialist systems, tib resistant cutting blades will be a relatively minor but significant shift in GDI's ability to harvest tiberium. While it will be expensive for what GDI gets out of the program, it is also an investment in the core technologies and competencies of working with STU based alloys.
(Progress 68/455: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -1 STUs) (-10 progress requirement on tib mining projects)
[ ] Second Generation Continuous Cycle Fusion Plants (Phase 3)
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 143/275: 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)
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 36/1805: 15 resources per die) (+35 Capital Goods, +16 Consumer Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (Required for further AI projects.)
[ ] Aberdeen Isolinear Fabricator (Phase 1)
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 0/90: 30 resources per die)
(Progress 0/180: 30 resources per die) (+9 Capital Goods, -2 Energy)
(Progress 0/360: 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 143/935: 20 resources per die) (+32 Capital Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (+1 to Infrastructure dice)
(Progress 0/1800: 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 0/150: 25 resources per die) (-2 STUs)
[ ] Second Generation Repulsorplate Factories
With the repulsorplate finally offering significant edges, and opening up a wide variety of new niches including the potential of flying ships, 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 0/525: 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 +29 bonus)
[ ] 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 235/610: 30 resources per die) (+4 Capital Goods, +8 Energy) (-2 Logistics) (+5 Political Support)
(Progress 0/1140: 30 resources per die) (+8 Capital Goods, +16 Energy) (-3 Logistics) (+10 Political Support)
[ ] Adaptive Cloth Factories (New)
While primarily for consumer goods, adaptive cloth is adaptive cloth, and the production will also feed into military procurement among other fields. Mostly, the Initiative will solely be producing the cloth, and then farming it out to private fashion houses, and Initiative backed design studios to do much of the work of integrating it into things that people will actually wear.
(Progress 0/300: 15 resources per die) (+5 Consumer Goods)
[ ] 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 457/805: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/790: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/790: 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 203/230: 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 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 78/215: 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 3/65: 10 resources per die) (+1 Energy)
(Progress 0/65: 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 78/170: 10 resources per die) (+2 Food in Reserve, -3 Food)
[ ] Laboratory Meat Deployment (Phase 1)
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 0/170: 15 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods, -1 Food, -2 Energy)
Tiberium (7 dice +39 bonus)
[ ] Tiberium Vein Mines (Stage 1010)
While no longer positive in terms of abatement resources freed up, vein mines still represent a significant way for the Initiative to increase its Tiberium mining output without either requireing significant conflicts with the Brotherhood of Nod, or putting its men and material at significant risk in the red zones of the world.

[ ] 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 29/120: 25 resources per die) (additional income trickle [10-25 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (+1 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 0/190: 30 resources per die) (-3 Logistics, +2 Energy) (additional income trickle [60-90 Resources]) (2 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (2 Stages available)
[ ] Red Zone Containment Lines (Stage 6)
With GDI having put its beachheads at the edges of the Red Zones, a further expansion of the containment lines is viable. While somewhat constrained by the limits of the Zone Operations Command, it will both support the Initiative's Forgotten allies, and put more pressure on the Brotherhood's back lines.

There are currently no open glacier faces for expansion of mining activity.
(Progress 38/165: 30 resources per die) (-5 Logistics, +1 Energy) (additional income trickle [45-65 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (0 Stages available)
[ ] IHG Tiberium Processing Plants (Stage 1)
Building a first wave of Improved Hewlett Gardener plants will noticeably increase GDI's supply of Stable Trans-Uranic materials. While significantly more expensive to operate, especially as the last of the kinks in the process are worked out, the wonder materials are enough of a priority to make this worthwhile.
(Progress 0/150: 35 resources per die) (+450 processing capacity) (-4 Energy, -3 Logistics)
[ ] Improved Hewlett-Gardener Refits (Phase 2)
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 11/90: 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 4/105: 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)

[ ] 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
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 2) (Updated)
While certainly not an easy thing, and with significant security risks to large detachments of Initiative troops, the coordinated abatement projects have been of significant value to the warlords that are participating; they are more willing to both put their own resources in, and do more to dissuade the radical side of the Brotherhood from interfering.

Orbital (7 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] GDSS Columbia (Phase 5)
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.

[ ] GDSS Shala (Phase 5)
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
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.

[ ] 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 85/270: 25 resources per die) (+4 Health) (-1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods, -1 Labor)
[ ] Autodoc Systems Deployment
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 0/280: 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 84/345: 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 149/180: 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 0/160: 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 234/250: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods) (Increases Labor outputs)
[ ] Primitive Prototype Portal Construction
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 73/400: 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
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 0/555: 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 150/265: 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 0/500: 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 41/425: 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 139/295: 5 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 12 to complete)
[ ] MARV and Reclamator Hubs (updated)
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. Due to GDI's voracious appetite for more STUs, hubs constructed in Red Zones will service the Reclamator variant. By establishing regional hubs, MARV units can harvest and process more Tiberium, allowing for more units to be supported.
(20 resources per die) (Tiberium dice can be used, each project requires at least two military dice before Tib dice can be used)
[ ] Inferno Gel Development (Tech)
Derived from the Brotherhood of Nod's flamethrower systems, Inferno gel is a weapon of terror more than anything else. However, it does have its uses, and one of those is as a means of killing vehicles rapidly. By drenching a vehicle in pyroclastic gel, many of the soft systems can be destroyed, and the people inside blinded and likely immobilized.
(Progress 0/40: 10 resources per die) (-5 Political Support)
[ ] Binary Propellant Exploration (Tech)
While GDI has begun substantially switching over to electromagnetic weapons, the field of binary propellants still likely has some niches, although likely fewer than it would have had a decade ago. A low priority for the military at this time, it is still a field that does likely need pursuit at least to some degree.
(Progress 0/60: 10 resources per die)
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 52/640: 20 resources per die) (-2 Energy, -2 STUs, -1 Capital Goods)
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 56/215: 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 150/165: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
(Progress 0/150: 10 resources per die) (-1 Energy) (Projected 3 quarters to begin, 9 to complete)
(Progress 0/150: 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 0/140: 20 resources per die) (MS) (Will time out at end of plan)
[ ] Transorbital Fighter Development (Platform) (High Priority)
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 100/160: 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 0/280: 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 0/160: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods, -2 Energy) (Projected 6 quarters to begin, 8 quarters to complete) (Will time out at end of plan)
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 0/135: 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) (Will time out Q1 2064)
[ ] 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 148/230: 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.)
[ ] SSN Development Program (New)
The Submarine Fleet is one of the longer neglected parts of the Initiative naval capacity, and one of the many places where the Initiative has less lived experience than most 20th century navies. While attempting to restore the capability will require substantial investments, they should also allow GDI to begin contesting the Brotherhood of Nod's own fleets of attack and missile submarines beneath the waves as well as on top of them.
(Progress 0/120: 30 resources per die)
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 0/265: 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 Deployment
While the Talons will not require particularly many vehicles to see a large impact on their total deployable combat force, it will still be a reasonably expensive project simply due to the amount of automation that it requires.
(Progress 0/240: 20 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods, -1 Energy)
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 277/465: 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.

(Progress 1/245 : 15 resources per die) (+4 Logistics)
(Progress 0/245 : 15 resources per die) (+3 Logistics)
[ ] Suborbital Shuttle Service (Phase 3)
A final and most significant step, prioritizing even more leopards for the suborbital role will make it so that GDI can establish a regular network of flights, and create efficiencies of scale rather than brute forcing the problem. While there are significant limits imposed by the turnaround time of a leopard class fusioncraft, there are also significant advantages.(Progress 27/150: 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 2)
Expanding the program and shifting yet more housing to higher quality models is something that large parts of the Initiative support in theory, and yet there are substantial groups that oppose it in practice. While the housing is degrading at a noticeable clip, and will eventually either have to be torn down or refurbished, it is a much more complicated question than it first appears.

Heavy Industry (5 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] U-Series Alloy Foundries (Phase 6) (Updated)
Shifting goals from bulk alloys to more specialist systems, tib resistant cutting blades will be a relatively minor but significant shift in GDI's ability to harvest tiberium. While it will be expensive for what GDI gets out of the program, it is also an investment in the core technologies and competencies of working with STU based alloys.
(Progress 68/455: 40 resources per die) (-4 Energy, -1 STUs) (-10 progress requirement on tib mining projects)
[ ] Second Generation Continuous Cycle Fusion Plants (Phase 3)
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 143/275: 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)
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 36/1805: 15 resources per die) (+35 Capital Goods, +16 Consumer Goods, -2 Labor, -8 Energy) (Required for further AI projects.)
[ ] Aberdeen Isolinear Fabricator (Phase 1)
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.

[ ] 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 0/1800: 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 0/150: 25 resources per die) (-2 STUs)
[ ] Second Generation Repulsorplate Factories
With the repulsorplate finally offering significant edges, and opening up a wide variety of new niches including the potential of flying ships, 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 +29 bonus)
[ ] 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 0/1140: 30 resources per die) (+8 Capital Goods, +16 Energy) (-3 Logistics) (+10 Political Support)
[ ] Adaptive Cloth Factories (New)
While primarily for consumer goods, adaptive cloth is adaptive cloth, and the production will also feed into military procurement among other fields. Mostly, the Initiative will solely be producing the cloth, and then farming it out to private fashion houses, and Initiative backed design studios to do much of the work of integrating it into things that people will actually wear.
(Progress 0/300: 15 resources per die) (+5 Consumer Goods)
[ ] Department of Distributed Manufacturers
Development of light industrial workshops across the Initiative is a critical component of long term industrial development. Instead of focusing on highly complex, and often experimental manufacturing processes, these will use older, tried and tested methods to produce significant goods that need less transport, and employ larger numbers of people.
(+1 Capital Goods per turn, -20 resources per turn, -1 Light and Chemical Industry die)
Agriculture (6 dice +29 bonus)
[ ] Reforestation Campaign Preparations (Phase 1)
While actively regreening the world is certainly premature, between the continued expansion of Tiberium underground and the continued war with the Brotherhood of Nod, some efforts can be taken immediately to stabilize vast amounts of now-barren land reclaimed from Tiberium and begin the long march towards rebuilding functional soils.

(Progress 0/790: 5 resources per die)
(Progress 0/790: 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 203/230: 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.

[ ] 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 78/215: 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 0/65: 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 78/170: 10 resources per die) (+2 Food in Reserve, -3 Food)
[ ] Laboratory Meat Deployment (Phase 1)
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 1010)
While no longer positive in terms of abatement resources freed up, vein mines still represent a significant way for the Initiative to increase its Tiberium mining output without either requireing significant conflicts with the Brotherhood of Nod, or putting its men and material at significant risk in the red zones of the world.

[ ] 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 29/120: 25 resources per die) (additional income trickle [10-25 Resources]) (1 point of Red Zone Mitigation) (+1 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 0/190: 30 resources per die) (-3 Logistics, +2 Energy) (additional income trickle [60-90 Resources]) (2 points of Red Zone Mitigation) (2 Stages available)
[ ] Red Zone Containment Lines (Stage 6)
With GDI having put its beachheads at the edges of the Red Zones, a further expansion of the containment lines is viable. While somewhat constrained by the limits of the Zone Operations Command, it will both support the Initiative's Forgotten allies, and put more pressure on the Brotherhood's back lines.

[ ] 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 0/150: 35 resources per die) (+450 processing capacity) (-4 Energy, -3 Logistics)
[ ] Improved Hewlett-Gardener Refits (Phase 2)
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 11/90: 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 4/105: 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)

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

[ ] Secure Yellow Zones
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.

While certainly not an easy thing, and with significant security risks to large detachments of Initiative troops, the coordinated abatement projects have been of significant value to the warlords that are participating; they are more willing to both put their own resources in, and do more to dissuade the radical side of the Brotherhood from interfering.

Orbital (7 dice +34 bonus)
[ ] GDSS Columbia (Phase 5)
The final planned expansions to the station, adding another two thousand souls to its population, have been started, but there is still much work to be done, with the array of bays available, and the broader problem of shifting the station from a rapidly constructed habitation to something that is livable as a long term project. (Station)

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

-[ ] Hospital Bay
All of the Initiative's space stations are generally decently equipped with medical supplies. However, they lack cutting edge equipment. While they can theoretically conduct most surgeries developed before the mid 20th century, that is still a fairly limited spectrum, and for most really serious cases, the best that they can be expected to do is stabilize a person for delivery to terrestrial hospital systems. This would fix that.

(Progress 0/255: 20 resources per die) (+1 Capital Goods, +5 Consumer Goods)
-[ ] Spaceport Bay
With GDI's space presence continuously expanding, management and distribution of increasingly civilian passengers and their limited cargo has become more and more complicated. The Spaceport Bay will streamline the connections between earth and all four current GDSS Stations, and future-proof the earth-orbit-lunar traffic of people for the manyfold future increase of orbital and lunar residents needing to move between locations. It will be a central hub for passenger shuttles and have the infrastructure to service to the needs of both the shuttles and their human cargo.

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

Simply adding on additional bays filled to bursting with core crops, such as beans, rice, and corn, would do little more than add a significant amount of orbital food production, cutting down marginally on lift requirements, but at the same time doing little to improve the lives of current orbital inhabitants or their ground bound relatives.

-[ ] Fruticulture Bay
Growing trees on Earth is generally considered a waste of time, with a years long process before they begin producing, and the potential for them to be either damaged by war or infested by Tiberium being far too high for GDI planners. Growing trees in orbit would be a symbol of GDI's confidence in their ability to sustain habitation on other worlds, and significantly add to the food diversity available to the Initiative.

Even with the biosphere on its last legs, there are some ideas that GDI scientists are too nervous about the potential of them getting out.

While most of the effort is going to plants, animals have oft been a significant part of human agricultural work.

-[ ] Fruticulture Bay
Growing trees on Earth is generally considered a waste of time, with a years long process before they begin producing, and the potential for them to be either damaged by war or infested by Tiberium being far too high for GDI planners. Growing trees in orbit would be a symbol of GDI's confidence in their ability to sustain habitation on other worlds, and significantly add to the food diversity available to the Initiative.
(Progress 0/295: 20 resources per die) (+8 Consumer Goods) (+5 Political Support)
-[ ] Experimental Crops Bay
Even with the biosphere on its last legs, there are some ideas that GDI scientists are too nervous about the potential of them getting out. Extremely fast growing crops, biological sources of explosives, medicine, and volatile compounds, and a wide variety of other ideas that are potentially too risky to allow out into the wild.
(Progress 0/255: 20 resources per die) (MS) (Unlocks new development projects)
-[ ] Habitation Bay
While adding significant new housing to Shala was not in the preliminary design documentation, it would be a step towards the goal of 20 thousand souls living full time off Earth, and even with Shala's high level of automation, more hands have almost always increased farm outputs.
(Progress 0/295: 20 resources per die) (+1k Permanent Residents)
-[ ] Animal Husbandry Bay
While most of the effort is going to plants, animals have oft been a significant part of human agricultural work. Most animals will be farmed for various forms of animal products, dairy, eggs, and the like, as growing animals for consumption in space conditions is terribly wasteful in most practical terms.
(Progress 0/255: 20 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods)
-[ ] Species Restoration Bay
While practically nearly useless, there are many species that have either died out or effectively died out due to Tiberium. Creating a series of small habitats designed to replicate their natural environments in space would be a serious step towards long term preservation, and allow GDI to create greater biodiversity in the future.
(Progress 0/255: 20 resources per die)
-[ ] High Efficiency Void Crops Bay
There are a number of extremophile bacteria, lichen, and similar that are able to grow even in the airless, highly irradiated void of space. With extensive genetic engineering and experimentation, it may be possible to engineer human edible crops that can be farmed and harvested with a minimum of material and maintenance.
(Progress 0/210: 20 resources per die)
Lunar Operations
[ ] Lunar Mining Projects
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.

[ ] 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 85/270: 25 resources per die) (+4 Health) (-1 Energy, -1 Capital Goods, -1 Labor)
[ ] Autodoc Systems Deployment
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 0/280: 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 84/345: 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 149/180: 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 0/160: 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 234/250: 15 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods) (Increases Labor outputs)
[ ] Primitive Prototype Portal Construction
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 73/400: 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
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 0/555: 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 150/265: 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 0/500: 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 41/425: 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 139/295: 5 resources per die) (Projected: 4 quarters to begin, 12 to complete)
[ ] MARV and Reclamator Hubs (updated)
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. Due to GDI's voracious appetite for more STUs, hubs constructed in Red Zones will service the Reclamator variant. By establishing regional hubs, MARV units can harvest and process more Tiberium, allowing for more units to be supported.

[ ] Inferno Gel Development (Tech)
Derived from the Brotherhood of Nod's flamethrower systems, Inferno gel is a weapon of terror more than anything else. However, it does have its uses, and one of those is as a means of killing vehicles rapidly. By drenching a vehicle in pyroclastic gel, many of the soft systems can be destroyed, and the people inside blinded and likely immobilized.

[ ] Binary Propellant Exploration (Tech)
While GDI has begun substantially switching over to electromagnetic weapons, the field of binary propellants still likely has some niches, although likely fewer than it would have had a decade ago. A low priority for the military at this time, it is still a field that does likely need pursuit at least to some degree.
(Progress 0/60: 10 resources per die)
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.

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.

[ ] 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 0/140: 20 resources per die) (MS) (Will time out at end of plan)
[ ] Transorbital Fighter Development (Platform) (High Priority)
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 100/160: 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.

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.

[ ] 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.

The Submarine Fleet is one of the longer neglected parts of the Initiative naval capacity, and one of the many places where the Initiative has less lived experience than most 20th century navies. While attempting to restore the capability will require substantial investments, they should also allow GDI to begin contesting the Brotherhood of Nod's own fleets of attack and missile submarines beneath the waves as well as on top of them.

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 0/265: 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 Deployment
While the Talons will not require particularly many vehicles to see a large impact on their total deployable combat force, it will still be a reasonably expensive project simply due to the amount of automation that it requires.
(Progress 0/240: 20 resources per die) (-1 Capital Goods, -1 Energy)
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.
(-5 PS per option taken)(Options can be taken multiple times)
-[ ] Sell Consumer Goods: +5 Resources per Turn, -10 Consumer Goods
-[ ] Sell Energy: +5 Resources per Turn, -2 Energy
-[ ] Sell Capital Goods: +5 Resources per Turn, -1 Capital Goods
-[ ] Purchase STUs : -80 Resources per Turn, +1 STU per Turn.

Inferno gel and BiProp have been readded. I think we should do them this turn so that our munitions department can get to work auto-deploying them.
[ ] Inferno Gel Development (Tech)
Derived from the Brotherhood of Nod's flamethrower systems, Inferno gel is a weapon of terror more than anything else. However, it does have its uses, and one of those is as a means of killing vehicles rapidly. By drenching a vehicle in pyroclastic gel, many of the soft systems can be destroyed, and the people inside blinded and likely immobilized.
(Progress 0/40: 10 resources per die) (-5 Political Support)
[ ] Binary Propellant Exploration (Tech)
While GDI has begun substantially switching over to electromagnetic weapons, the field of binary propellants still likely has some niches, although likely fewer than it would have had a decade ago. A low priority for the military at this time, it is still a field that does likely need pursuit at least to some degree.
(Progress 0/60: 10 resources per die)

The Navy's trying to get rid of this project again, I say we let them.
They don't really make sense as a priority in the situation we're in where large naval invasions are unlikely after Karachi (which they won't be ready for anyway)

So this was originally a different plan focusing on bursting down Alloys 6, buuuut, while the bonus is good, it's definitely not what we need right now.

We're also very, very likely to go above our PS cap this turn. Unless we want to encourage wasteful spending next turn (where we overkill projects, or pursue projects that we'd never normally build), I think we should do some -PS projects (EHTS, trade, inferno gel, etc.) this turn.
If you want to go navy heavy then the new submarines are probably a better thing to fund than the islands. The Navy wants the subs more based on them trying to cancel the island project for a second time

I don't know a mobile hospital/machine shop you can park nearby that's hard for NOD to reach due to being off shore sound pretty useful to me but I've been noted to be a bit dim-witted at times so you'll have to forgive me for being presumptuous on this particular subject.

I mean, or we could try and knock out the thing that they've been asking for for longer than I've been following this quest, versus the new shiny that just dropped into our plate...
They've already tried to cancel it once because their priorities changed only for us to last minute design them. Now they're again trying to cancel the project
At some point we have to assume the admirals know what they're doing

IMO that is a very underwhelming bonus. -10 progress per phase is like 1/8th of an average Tib die, and it only applies to a few projects too. I think we'd get much more benefit from doing the AEVA for Tiberium.
@Ithillid I believe this should be 3 Bays, due to the Nat 100 bonus from last update.
Did these get a progress reduction from Reykjavik? Because unless I've got my math wrong, it looks like this only got the progress reduction from the U-Series Alloys.
It's probably up for removal so Ithillid can cut down the project list more than anything else.

Get this already. ZOCOM is the most important and most strained branch of the GDI, and recent events have made it clear they need more help than ever. The least people could do is finish this ASAP so they can do more better and safer.
