Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition
- Location
- Mid-Atlantic
As of this writing, there are so many "tied for second place" plans, it seems, that I don't have the spoons to comment on them all.
Also helpful for doing rapid emergency civil engineering work in fallout zones, though GDI has plenty of experience adjacent to that from tiberium remediation.
...
In other news, you did the "just seven dice on North Boston" thing. You split the Light Industry dice differently, which is fine for me. Agriculture okay, tiberium... uh, well, I'm not sure we should go with four dice on the refineries but we can now spare the Labor and +10 STUs sure sounds nice. I can work with it, it's not a bad plan even if I might not do it myself. I might lean more heavily into the glacier mines (ZOCOM isn't groaning too loud right now) and let the refineries take a little longer, myself. I guess maybe you're mashing the button hard to be sure of getting the enhanced portal project next turn?
Looking down, I see the bold Services push that drew my interest, and a reasonable distribution of Military. Though if we're not spending Free dice on Military, personally I'd rather slide away from the Governor refits and prioritze something else someone really wants. The Navy seems pretty lukewarm about the need to hurry those up, so I'd rather push four dice on zone armor and get it out of the way, myself, then polish off the Governor refits in mid-2065.
OK, so as I said to Folklore, I think it might be worth shuffling dice so that Construction Drone Centralization completes this turn. We've got Karachi coming up and it's the kind of program that could really, really benefit from the construction workers being able to telework so that as few people as possible are actually in danger in case Al-Isfahani slips a missile past our defense grid, aimed at the construction works, and it turns out to be nuclear-tipped.

I do think the calls to do the assembly bay as a priority over the restoration bay make some real sense, though. The bays are a science project and often with those there's only so much you can do to force the learning curve by building more facilities in a hurry. But I'm not going to get snippy over it, because I know lots of people love the restoration bays and I understand why.

We only have six dice in Military, otherwise, this is the one I support most outside of my plan due it including our plan goal of Regional Hospitals.
Speaking of which, since Karachi is incoming, I present a revised plan to shift admin Dice to the military that will allow a non-zero chance of completing Next Gen Vehicles and a phase of GFZA.

Gonna back this up and say I got the same 98.3% result.
Fair enough, and I don't see a reason not to. Will edit that in a bit.
Correct. I've spent tons of time and effort trying to mash the Portals button as hard as possible. I'm not about to stop now. (And on the practical side, the bonuses from the project are massive enough I think it's mathematically worth rushing it regardless of other reasons.)
One of the other plan goals in military, the Next Generation Armored Vehicles, has a lot of support right now. So while the Governor is also a plan goal, I was thinking of switching the die there to the Next Gen Armored Vehicles.
That would already happen.
Going by the blurb, it's centralization, not changing humans for drones. I suspect that our reverse engineered drone hub technology is freeing up a lot of people who would otherwise be dedicated drone wranglers trying to make drones navigate the complex and shifting environments of construction sites.

From the update, "The difference is in the ratio of metal to meat, and the training requirements to use it." It greatly reduces how many drone operators are needed to use the construction drone swarms.

With the Labor crisis averted in the short term, it's likely that GDI will be pushing hard to convert all refineries to the new xenotech standard in the reasonably near future anyway, so a surge on that isn't really a problem.
While I care less about the armored vehicle project than many, in that I don't see it as urgent, I'd consider this to be a net improvement and support it.
What I'm hoping for is a combination of this, plus the drone operators being free to operate farther back behind the lines, with fewer people needed on-site or near-site to sort out immediate problems that require being able to lay the Mark One eyeball on whatever is wrong.

Getting this done, as long we do not open new HI projects means we can likely start dropping a couple of dice on fusion plants on some turns to cover any energy needs. Which will be nice because looking at things, I wonder if it might not be a good idea to use 2 mil dice and a bunch of tib dice to try and do some of the RZ marvs for more STU income while also opening up places like Port Said (which long run would let us work on restoring the Suez which is a nice logistical move) plus helps with hitting the red zone mitigation goal
edit- looking at locations with the RZ 3 and 1 (3 total) in the med and GDI controlling the entrance and Nod having fairly limited costal areas those should be good sites to expand into that and RZ 8 in Australia with the southern site there being quite close to the blue zone and the Northern site needing sea transport for now would be something we could likely focus mitigation efforts on to push a land connection through the RZ as we push it back. Which gives us 5 sites that should not add much in the way of vulnerability to raiding.

The clarion call has sounded. Time has passed, light and darkness cycling once again in the timeless, finite dance of the universe.
Below the endless heavenly finitude, scurry those more mortal than the stars and the mountains.

At the moment Kane does not actually have any bitches, yo.
so what you are telling me is that by sacrificing a service die, we can re-roll these rolls by distracting him with prostitutes?

If you want to take that action on the assumption Kane cannot multi-task like that, feel free to test your hypothesis.

I may come back and approval-vote, but I'm pretty happy with Derpmind's plan.

Are you suggesting that Kane has no class and would not be giving a pretty lady his full attention.
I am appalled.
The Munitions department does not apply to the Thunderbolt-II project until it's started.
But... given that it would be started at that point, that should make it complete this turn anyway, so... good idea. Swapping, even though it seems weird at first glance.

Surprisingly you have to go a few runners up down before you get another plan that guarantees xeno refinery completion. Maybe it's just not obvious enough that this phase gets us the STUs needed to do portals next turn? Should probably put +STU indicator on it in future posts.
