Our Mind Trees are super spread out on their actions, yeah. We have 42 of them atm, and on average 10 voting for contacting the ship as their [Action] will succeed.

The issue is that there's more Mind-bonus actions than everything else put together, so naturally they're going to spread out over the set of possibilities. We Heart trees have only two legal options that use our bonus, Roots have seven, and Minds have eleven.

So, I just checked up on our current tally, and I seem to be the only person voting to communicate with the ship - but we need 10 successes to even pull it off. Can we get some more mind trees on this one?

We don't know what Mr. Burns is going to do up there, so I'd call it a priority. Success here could avoid disaster, or even open up fantastic new possibilities that we'd otherwise miss out on.

Contacting the ship alerts them that the forest is intelligent, which can be either a very good or very bad thing depending on how they react. I'd personally prefer to wait and observe their intentions first.

(So obviously, it's better to approach the flesh-eating space monsters instead. Nothing could go wrong with this plan.)

I miscounted in my earlier post and corrected it: there's one defense and one survival action for heart, no offense and seven growth actions (grow worm, grow forest, and five separate grow special tree) for root, and two communications and nine research actions for mind.

Well, we ought to rally on something, otherwise no mind projects will complete this turn.

So far the empty veil research has attracted the most [Actions]; assuming everyone doing it is a Mind tree, it's currently at an expected value of seven successes out of twenty. Runner-up is the Elder Tree research, which has three voters, for three successes out of fifty. It's currently looking like researching the ship will get Focus (three autosuccesses), but only one action is devoted to it so far, averaging four successes out of ten.

I do agree that Minds should try to coordinate and finish research on something this turn, though maybe this problem will solve itself as more voters trickle in. I've swapped my vote from the stockpile action to the shield action, in the hopes that we can delay the ship long enough to get ourselves sorted out; we get four autosuccesses from our Magnetic Trees on that, which is nice.

Staying hidden myself in order to hide myself and not communicating our full power, because this is a scouting ship and I would rather be underestimated when they send their full force.

I feel like we might end up regretting the shield but if we are going to do it then it should be a strong shield! ;)

An evenish split between heart trees to resource collecting and shielding seems to be the best idea to me atm.
