PS change is -10.
Right, somehow I had missed the number for upgraded refining.

The Department of Randomness would like to report that the average die rolls for this quarter was 50.29, which shows an improvement in average luck.
We would like to thank our specialists in other departments for helping make this happen. While they can't direct the luck to improve project completion, they can prevent catastrophic failure. Hopefully next quarter there will be another increase or at least a steady average.

Ok, so I'm guessing the AI is somehow such a klutz that its not threatening to the public and is endearing somehow? Like DUM-E?

Shouldn't this be +2 mil dice?
1 from refits, and 1 from philly?

So basically, what happened is that the AI made was a flop, but the actual handling and safety of the project was excellent, mitigating future concerns about AI going out of control?

Dice Cost Analysis updated.
So on the plus side I don't need to maintain a separate Philadelphia sheet now.

Researcher: "Huh I was wondering why there was such a big temperature spike in the CPU's whenever we uploaded the latest social media feeds to the AI."

How'd you get that? Did you include the RERs? Because if you just average the actual project progress rolls, our average is 47.9. Regret to inform, but the dice still hate us actually finishing shit.
And...let's not include those terrible AI dice, shall we? That just looks even worse. The SV dice-roller AI is jealous, and doesn't want competition.
Basically, the AI is like chihuahua - it hates us, but it's such a failure that the public can't help but to love it.
I bet the AI hates that.

We include all D100s within the main roll post. It is a very scientific process that has been verified by the most experienced fortune tellers and oracles on hand. You think that we aren't going to include the Random Event dice? It has random in the name.

When I asked to be the one to roll quality, I did not promise high rolls - I promised fun rolls! I said that one way or another, they'd be lopsided and/or hilarious, and not average or midddling in the slightest.
See y'all next time!
And baby, I delivered.
See y'all next time!

This is where it is being unstable and incompetent saves us - Skynet was something like 90+, 1, 100 in my opinion.
Thank you Department of Randomness for the random status update on the current state of randomness we are experiencing.

On the bright side, we remain consistent on that front throughout most of the quest so far! I-Is that a bright side?
The big problem we have is that we Dream big and are brought down to reality when we get low to normal results. Much of our planning phases are we aim as high as we can and are contentish when we miss those. It works but it consistently feels bad when we miss deadlines because a roll was to low.
Or that the payout was not as impressive as could have been.

We do deserve to exist.
A quick draft for next turn's plan, taking into account our having an additional die for all non-Free categories from Philadelphia completing and an additional die to Military from Refits.
[ ] Plan Chimeraguard Draft
Infrastructure (6 dice)
-[ ] Yellow Zone Fortress Towns (Phase 3), 3 dice (60 Resources)

-[ ] Universal Rocket Launch System Deployment (Phase 2), 2 dice (30 Resources)
-[ ] Shell Plants (Phase 5), 3 dice (30 Resources)
-[ ] Ablat Plating Deployment (Stage 4), 3 dice (30 Resources)
Bureaucracy (4 dice)
-[ ] Security Review (Infrastructure), 2 dice
-[ ] Security Review (Tiberium), 2 dice
Resources Available: 855
Resources Spent: 810
Resources Remaining: 45
810 RpT last turn + 10 from the bank + 15 from Tib-Glass + 20 from Offshore = 855.
Infra is finishing ICS and doing Yellow Zone Fortress towns to fort up our remaining Green Zones before we take the Karachi plunge.
HI does another round of Fusion Plants since yeah, we need the power gen (and starting to stockpile our Capital Goods, since even finishing all our current Cap Goods projects we'll still have a tiny surplus, and this is a money-saving turn anyway), and uses the last die to start up Hover Dev. Q1 of next year I want to start rolling out the Apollos while Karachi is going on, and for that we need a lot of power generation.
LCI goes for the other stage of Tib Glass for additional income and starts up the Macrospinners again, Agriculture is for Kudzu in the name of PS + Consumer Goods and making people happy because they have caffeine again.
Orbital is on the Lunar Heavy Mines because we need more money to fund all our new dice (especially once most of the Military/Free Dice start going on things more expensive than 10 Resource Consumables and ZOCOM is too worn out by Karachi to do anything else until we get some Zone Suit Factories), and Heavy Metal offers the highest Resource return for progress and is within doable range with 6 dice.
Services finishes Prosthetics and I dunno what else. Maybe just save the money so we can slam Karachi and other expensive stuff next turn.
Military: Finish the MARV, finish the Sensors, finish the Orca Refit, continue steady work on the OSRCT, and the rest of the dice are plowed into Consumables to get ready for the Karachi push.
Bureaucracy does Infra and Tiberium Security Reviews, again in preparation for the Karachi Push that uses those two.

Unless Ithillid said that there are additional stages beyond, 5 dice on T-glass seems a little overkill.
Maybe push a die towards Bergen? It's low-hanging fruit for a dot of Energy.
Chimeraguard
We do deserve to exist.
I haven't done the exact numbers on how many dice are needed.
If I put a die towards a non-T-Glass project in LCI, it'd be the Macrospinners for the Cap Goods + Energy + Zone Suit Discount (mostly the Zone Suit Discount and Cap Goods.)
EDIT: Derpmind's calcs say 4 dice is okay, so I'll put 1 die on the Reykjavik Macrospinner.
