Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

I think it would be worth doing another round of Lunar Mining to feed into lunar industry and bolster the digging equipment up there.
Not much point sending people to the Moon with no jobs for them to do. We could use a lot more local production for the inevitable cities. 100R per turn is very little.

I'm sure there's a reasonable selection of job options for the permanent residents, not least because there's a large 'invisible' population of temporary residents already operating the mines.

If we can afford it, I won't say no, but I do want to be cautious about taking on 'extra' Orbital projects.

HousePet said:
Do we though?
Current Lunar Mining is 100R/turn.
Total Orbital expenditure this turn was 210R. 150R on Lunar Homesteading.
And we aren't even building cities yet.

Flip that around.

2000 permanent residents to provide logistical support for 100 RpT worth of economic activity... when 1 R is the equivalent of billions of dollars in today's money.

I don't think we'll actually have an economic sustainability problem on the moon in the medium term. If we were going to, we'd be screwed in the long term, because we can't reasonably hope to get 100,000 RpT of economic activity on the moon any time soon, but we'd definitely hope the lunar colony to be ticking over at well over two million residents within a few decades.

Next turn:

-[] Karachi Planned City (Phase 1+2+3+4+5) 0/1515, 5 Infrastructure dice, 7+6 Tiberium dice, 2 AA dice, 1 Erewhen die, 420R, 93.82%, Blaze It
 
As a more realistic assessment, if we do 1-2 Tiberium dice and 5 Infrastructure dice per turn, we will be on-course to finish the Treasury's portion of the work in 3 turns, which is probably less time than it will take to actually lay all the rails to the Himalayan Blue Zone, even if the military can clear a path in that time.

yeah this is the plan for the next turn then I have been waiting for this since the topic of putting all diced on a planned city in order to complete it was first talked about

I love the joke but I think that might actually be overinvestment beyond what we need to push. That's 42d50+135+507 = 1071+642 = 1713 expected progress. I'd rather push this out in 2-3 turns.
 
We have left it rather late though. We've got 5 quarters to complete the megaproject.
It needs about 16 dice to complete, and if we are going to avoid Q2/3 next year (which might not be needed as the whole corridor isn't going to be in flood for 6 whole months), then we are looking at 6 dice per turn.
A slower advance would be Q4: 4, Q1: 4, Q2: 2, Q3: 2, Q4 4.

Given the red zones are very enthusiastically "advancing to the rear", probably taking advantage of their increased exploitable territory. (Red Zones shrunk by .7% of the Earth's land surface this quarter. Half of that went to Blue Zones, half to Yellow Zones.)

2064 Q4 Preliminary Four Year Plan Required Dice
Infrastructure Projects
Infrastructure requires the Planned City Project of Karachi and the Post War Housing Refits. For Labor needs,

Required Projects:
-Karachi Planned City Phase 1-5: 0/1515 Progress ~9 dice median
--Requires 12 Labor
--Provides 20 Logistics
--Note: Dice split between Infrastructure and Tiberium.

-Post War Housing Refits Phase 2-3: 33/300 Progress ~3 dice median

Semi Required Projects:
-Drone Logistical Integration: 145/240 Progress ~1 die median
--Provides 6 Labor

Heavy Industry Projects
There are no explicit Plan requirements in Heavy Industry, however we are going to need a several phases of 2CCF plants to support CCF replacement.

Required Projects:
-None

Semi Required Projects:
-Second Generation Continuous Cycle Fusion Plants Phase 5-6: 117/540 Progress (~6 dice) ~6 dice median
--Requires 3 Labor
--Provides 76 Energy
--Note: Total CCF Energy to be replaced is 144 Energy. We only need 32 Energy ready this plan for the shut downs on Q1 2065 and Q4 2065. However, given we want to be spending Energy on new projects in the next plan, this analysis will account for 2 dice spent on 2CCF for the remainder of the Plan (IE 6 dice) with the knowledge that we don't strictly need more then 32 Energy and that every bit beyond that helps us in the future.

I've summarized the Economic Targets here as there are multiple ways to achieve them. I've noted the synergies between the Plan Goals as well. I've also placed them in the sections I feel they are most applicable.
Dice Required Summary
Infrastructure: 25 Total, 13 Required, 12 Available
Heavy Industry: 25 Total, 5 Required, 20 Available
Light and Chemical Industry: 20 Total, 0 Required, 20 Available
Agriculture: 30 Total, 6 Required, 42 Available
Tiberium: 35 Total, 16 Required, 19 Available
Orbital: 35 Total, 33 Required, 2 Available
Services: 20 Total, 2 Required, 18 Available
Military: 30 Total, 22 Required, 8 Available
Free: 30 Total, 0 Required, 30 Available
Notes:
-All dice estimates are calculated based on the present respective die bonus.
-The total dice numbers at the bottom of each section are the dice requirements for the Required and Semi Required Projects combined.
-Required Projects are those that must be completed for the Plan.
-Semi Required Projects are those that should be completed, but are not technically mandatory for the completion of the Plan. These projects provide efficient methods to achieve the economic targets or otherwise reduce/mitigate the economic costs of the other required and semi required projects.

Updates:
-No longer require Vein Mines for extra income production
-Done Logistics added

General Thoughts:
-We now have 14 STUs that is more then is needed for the Naquada Ring Experiments, and as such we should pursue it as soon as possible for both the space cost reduciton, and for the aditional dice.
-Immediate Labor crunch has been put off thanks to the Drones, a further buffer will likely be obtained from refugees from the karachi expedition, but they are not required economically.

Any questions/comments are welcome

A Society Grows Great (noncannon)

    • A Society Grows Great
    Omake by FaxModem1​

    Anne sat patiently in her chair, waiting. The youngins from GDI told her to wait, so she waited. The old pains hurt her. There were some parts of her that were probably more crystal than flesh, and her body probably had at most a few years, if those GDI doctors could work the miracles they said they could work. She was dubious, but willing to give them a shot. But until her charge was complete, she wasn't going to go anywhere until she knew her duty was done.

    There were people moving to and from, they seemed busy with something. Anne didn't know what they were busy with, but she figured someone would get to her eventually. The pain in her intestines increased. She clutched the container her family had entrusted to her tightly. She wished they would hurry up. To deal with her nervous energy, she did what she always did, and cranked the box.

    She didn't know how much time passed, watches were a luxury out in the Yellow and Red Zones, but eventually a young man in a lab coat, face mask with breather, came to meet with her. He probably didn't want to breathe any of the air she might expelz and she didn't blame him.

    "Hello, I'm Dr. Richard Thomas. You can call me Rich. You must be Anne.

    "I guess I must be." Chipper young thing, she thought.

    "You said you had something for us?. Something important?"

    His words, though polite were doubtful.

    "That I do. Now you already had some scary people holding guns scan me and the box, but wouldn't let me through until you got to open it. I refused to do so until someone knew what they were dealing with here. I suppose...." She added that to bounce off his words, " that you're the one who knows what this is."

    "A flora sample for our reforestation project. Or something like that. The details were vague."

    "Make sure, whatever you do, to keep it's contents safe, and don't open it until you're ready to use them."

    "What's in them?"

    "The last bit of Texas before the green rock gobbled it up. That box is a portable storage container, keeps everything in there preserved. We made it and kept it running since we knew y'all weren't coming to save us. We figured someone, someday, might actually remove the rock, and restore my home to what it was."

    Anne stopped for a moment due to a coughing fit before continuing.

    "Inside are seeds, leaves, and other samples of my home. There should be enough genetic material and samples for pecans, maples, plums, bluebonnets, oaks, peaches, yellow roses, and some other things. I used to have an itemized list, but you try keeping a hold of a piece of paper when running from Nod soldiers."

    The man looked closely at the box, "You've been turning that box for over fifty years?"

    Anne gave him a look like he was an imbecile.
    "Yes, it's a hand crank refrigerator, but no I'm not an idiot. We'd plug it in when we could. Into our homes or our vehicles. Wherever we had power. Whenever we couldn't plug it into something, I've been turning the damn thing so that we could keep everything intact."

    "Why now?"

    "GDI changed. You're actually not giving up, running, hiding, and leaving the rest of us behind. You're trying to make forests again. And while Texas isn't a blue zone yet, I want my home, whenever it is back to being one, to have pecans in it again. I probably won't live past this year, but I want my body to rest under a pecan tree some day."

    Richard nodded, as if recalling something, "A society grows great..."

    Anne smiled, finishing the old saying for him, "when the old plant trees which shade they'll never enjoy."

    He looked at her, she looked at him, and she gave him the box.

    "I would be honored."

    "Thank you."

    For the first time in her memory, Anne could rest without the burden she had carried for so long.

    In our last update, the HUNGER party had taken advantage of the other Tib parties being asleep to push for major adaptation to GDI's noise pollution.
    How has that progressed since then?

    Strong progress has been made, but there are some concerns about FoxGirls, and how this may change the political dynamics.

    Next update: Q2 2065.

    This is 25 points behind, not 15 points.

    Heads up from the Discord: The Forgotten have figured out how to boost the efficiency of Xenotech Refineries, so now it's X: 1 per 45. Effectively giving us another +2 STU this turn.

    Complete Regional Hospital Expansions by end of 2065
    Complete Post War Housing Refits

    Promises to Litvinov:
    Do not activate Free Dice (except for Tiberium) unless all Department Dice are active. Upheld
    Spend no more than two free dice per turn on Military. Upheld

    Yeah that is about it, now just to see what if any consequences completing another stage of Xenotech Refineries has.
