Technically we had the start of a Terraforming tree:
[ ] Colonization/Bioforming Genetics Package [400]: Should safely improve bioforming rates and allow for more exotic options...Fairly simple, mearly lots of work developing catalog of genetic solutions. Very beneficial to expanding species, fits PI's previous work. (Counts as Biotech)
No idea what, if anything, would have been unlocked by this though since Mordin's sub-tech tree was rather barebones.[X] Colonization/Bioforming Genetics Package 70+330
0 + 400 = 400/400 – Finished
"Must be careful with rapid growth modifications. Pargia, classic case of over use."
"Super fauna as form of biosphere alteration, unusual."
"Multi-cellular organisms require complex biosphere systems. Development of complementary single-cellular organisms very important."
"Exotic conditions complicate things. Must consider energy sources, hazardous environmental factors, chemical resources..."
"Hmm... death world, not intended result. Avoid combination."
Can alter biospheres. Magnitude of change will affect cost and time.
I did!Did any of you remember we had a large indefinite scale order for 180 frigates per year with the Hanar worth trillions? I certainly did not!
However the order doesn't start until 2175-Q1 and we are currently in 2174-Q3. Incidentally the reason we specified 180/yr rather then 45/qtr is that we don't have the Production until 2175-Q3 when our Space Factory IIs over Benning and Demeter come online. IIRC the plan was to produce whatever we could during the first two quarters then complete the remaining (180-X) in the two quarters before settling down into a stead 45/qtr rate.
That said there was the discussion of leasing Shipyards from them to accelerate construction:
but the details for that would have come up in this turn's Construction and Production sub-turn which we never reached.Of course that makes negotiations rather easy. Actually the Hanar have suggested that they lease you a shipyard or two so that you can start selling them those ships sooner. However, such negotiations may take a bit you'll probably have actionable details next quarter.
