Shepard Quest Mk VI, Technological Revolution

Reader mode
It's also likely a factor of falling real wages. Less buying power means prospective parents have to work more to support themselves, let alone kids. Given ME's canonical bonkers industrial capabilities, I'd imagine (or hope, at least) that a lot of those constraints don't exist anymore. If everyone has at least their most basic needs met (food, water, shelter, medical care) and work stops being necessary for survival, then a lot more people are going to make the choice to raise kids.

E: pretty sure that's borne out in the books; I know that in one of them even a poor family is able to own and operate a starship and supplement their income when necessary with automated mining probes.

That said, if you don't also expand the portion of a woman's life during which she Can have children*, longer lifespans will either result in extra pressure to have kids while you can to prevent a collapse when the whole system gets too top-heavy

That is an interesting point.
However I'm going to note, industrialised societies are already below the replacement rate and have been for some time. Sub-replacement fertility
Despite government advocacy and incentives, individuals do not make decisions based on what would best stave off extinction events. In fact the fact that a lot of adults don't feel they want to bring a child into the world thats facing collapse from climate change would suggest that the threat of population collapse would counter intuitively reduce the number of people willing to have children.
Increasing the onset of menapause age, still doesn't increase the population growth rate if those older women are deliberately choosing to not have children, which is currently the problem.
Secondly is that as medicine increases, we don't just increase lifespan we also increase the period someone is a economically valuable worker. While this doesn't remove the problem you raised it does mitigate it. As we're not in a scenario where under 60s need to support 120 year olds, we're in a situation where under 80s need to support 120 year olds which reduces the young population needed for stability.

would appreciate anyone willing to write a very brief description on these items, both for updating the production page and so I know exactly what I am working with so I can imagine it in my mind, some of the more obvious ones like flamer and omni blade do not need to be done.

edit: gonna use the descrips for new players to know what is made/sold, and to help me visualize what we have to better set 'demand/markup' prices

Sorry I couldn't find anything else. I may go relook for stuff. when you know most of the technology you're asking for is in the research section just making sure. Or there's like a advertisement for them in one of these posts talking about them or it's an entire page dedicated to them I hope you liked them.

It would be good to have some informational threadmarks with all those links for various paragon tech. Perhaps some extra threadmarks for those that are theoretical for now and not actually in production too?
 
working on writing up a page with descriptions and break downs of production items so people know what items are what exactly and will be its own threadpost
 
Welp my attentions back here.

You know what would be interesting? If after all this is over and people are still interested in continuing, we could also pull a Andromeda go nearby galaxy. And if that galaxy happens to be the one far far away...

Oh that sounds bad. Well I hope you find a stable workplace.

I do have a stable workplace, it is just that I get reassigned to fill in for any missing people due to the virus going around. Being shifted around 20 miles every time and having to finish up all current work for customer convenience is not convenient for me.

Also damn you were fast to reply. I thought I had to wait a hour for someone to reply.

I tend to reply quickly, also please do not double post, that is what the edit button is for
 
THIS IS DIVINE F-ING ENEMY ACTION! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO DELAY ME! I was about to get to work on finishing the last of the information required for the quest and then start the new thread when the site when down right after I refreshed this page! I had even cleared out my schedule and got myself a four day weekend just to work on it! FOR NOTHING! RAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

TLDR: So obviously the quest continuation is delayed till I get myself more free time again during the weekend to finish up the master excel sheet. unless SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS!

Honestly, this quest is cursed or something.
 
honestly what's next for me! The virus!? Earthquakes!? Firestorms!? I already got sick once and had my tire blow out before now the data center running out of power, getting set on fire, and then waterlogged! WHAT'S NEXT WORLD!?

That must be painful. I hope nothing got lost. This year has been going from one disaster to the next. Only the severity differs.

Hahha. At this rate we're going to have to make another thread about why the world is trying to stop you from making this quest again. Even better idea why don't we put it on tv I will think we'll get a million views.

Whelp, I asked didn't I? I am pretty sure I just got the warning for what Life/World is going to do to me if I continue.
Yesterday while driving home from work, there was some traffic, and next to me driving alongside me was a hearse the ones for dead people ya know?
Now today I had to deliver something just now, again some traffic, and AGAIN next to me is another hearse.
I am not sure if I will be able to see the third or if I do it will be from INSIDE of the hearse.
But yeah if I do see another one tomorrow? I am giving up. I got the message loud and clear in that case.
