While we do have the artefacts to throw at it, I'm wary of locking in two 10+ research projects at once. I would rather do shorter ones in case something pops up and we need to change direction.
On that note, I think we should do the food preservative tech. Our soup kitchens and storerooms eat quite a lot income, so trimming that would help.
Or we could do the pencil one that's been there forever and cut into our single biggest expense, the school.

Crap I just noticed that I forgot to add
-[ ] Buying Goods In Bulk - (Once Per Turn)
last turn. Sorry.
I agree with armentho that we should do that research soon, maybe next turn, with our Cores, artifacts and help from the 4S it should be simple to brute-force it.
Ashleaf Tea won't work for that investigation roll right? I'm also going to assume that piety bonus from adjucator won't affect that roll twice, if it does it should be very easy to pass that roll.
If we use both Too much to do and Leading by example, alongside Needle's contact and 6 FF we should have 100% chance to succeed [ ] The Hunt For Annika - Discrete, again assuming A Victims Ire: Holy Rose - Criminal Organizations doesn't activate.
No extra research from our new core? I wonder how the Clans feel about the Pilgrims stumbling into 3 awakened cores in such a short period of time.
[ ] Nine Tribes Council - (All Are Free Actions) - (3 Turns remaining)
-[ ] Sell Artifact/s (Artifact/s)
(Sell the specified Artifact/s with an additional (1d100/350/750 for Common/Rare/Lost Tech grades.)
Is that a raw dx for how much extra mats we get from selling the artifacts or is it a %?
Shouldn't there be an action in the archeology section to get the ships that the Clans want in exchange for their help?

Nope, won't work for it.
Right in that regard.
It won't, as no criminal organizations are involved.
He literally only communicates in ASCII emoticons. Not even numbers if they won't be a part of an image. Hard to help with research with that.
Pretty jelly, not gonna lie. With a side of "Yo. The fuck?" added onto.
Raw dx.
That will happen once you know how to get the ships operational again.

Time to bankrupt those tribes! We should sell 2 of each category and swim on a bath of gold coins.
We should be carefull not sell anything which we might want to use later. But we can definately part with some of our armor lost tech artefacts.

[ ] Illness Of The Mind - (Psychology)- (2/15 Successes)
As your returned volunteers settle into their lives once more, it has become apparent that something is wrong. Some dislike the close nature of crowds; others are frightened by loud noises or have frequent nightmares. The answer to these changes has been found, but not the cures. There is talk of a long recovery, challenging and sometimes near impossible, but not entirely. All that is required is dedicating the time and effort needed to understand the intricacies of the human psyche. No problem, right?

Problem is that the only psycology artefacts we have are lost tech level so it feels wasteful to use them at this stage. We might want to get psycology theory or more artefacts to make it go faster.
Also it's a bad time for it now since we are in an industrial expansion phase. We are looking into ways to increase our budget so even if we unlocked asilums we wouldn't build any since that would cost upkeep that's already getting too high.
Do we really need this? We are not going to get more units for a while and we could build cheaper stuff like the range or scout some locations.
Edit: @HeroCooky TOP-03 appears twice on the archeology list.

Was just future-proofing, but you are right that the range is more worthwhile now, it's going to take at least another 8 turns to get our ASCII friend a new body. We can't scout now since our units are busy guarding the guys working on catalogue everything.
Ok, it's been some time since I've commented on the updates, so let's see...
First, the stuff in spoilers.
No change in Relationships, which surprised me because I expected the CoE to gain or lose Influence, but that brings us to the Artefacts.
The Turbine Injectors could be useful for airship research, the Auto-Pilot for drone research, and the Fuel Refiner could help with developing bio-fuel out of Sandwheat.
First, the stuff in spoilers.
It's a good chunk to work with but we probably should, at least partially, start paying back that loan. 110 Materials in one turn is just too much.
No change in Relationships, which surprised me because I expected the CoE to gain or lose Influence, but that brings us to the Artefacts.
A small bonus but the fluff could be useful if we develop better heavy armor or even power armor.
Mostly armor and weapon boosts. The alloy could be useful for steam engine upgrades and the sealing door for the pneumatic tool research.
Aaaand tons of Lost Tech. Those are some huge research boni but it will be a long time until we can use them.
The Turbine Injectors could be useful for airship research, the Auto-Pilot for drone research, and the Fuel Refiner could help with developing bio-fuel out of Sandwheat.
Neat. Can we use him as another research booster like PD?
That sounds like it should reduce upkeep for the Medical Wing but it's probably just fluff.
Huh, that reminds me of Portal and all the hideouts that could be found there. I wonder if PD's monstrosity of a Core contains a potato?
Ah, they are definitely friends. Now I want to see how the meeting with Aria is going to go.
That's... Hmm, stationary stuff would be better of with cables, assuming Jewel is more efficient, and mobile stuff runs the risk of getting out of range. Probably most useful if mobility in a defined area is necessary, like to power tools on a construction site, weapons while defending a building on short notice, or for drones while the control unit is nearby to power them.
Yeah, it's best if you know the thing that needs power stays nearby but can't use cables. Although, if we can find out how it works, get enough range, and manufacture the tech cheap enough, it might be useful for driving civilian airships. There would need to be many ground stations but it should make the airships cheaper, allow focused defenses, and prevent anyone from misusing the airship tech.
Lady Maranica seems to be surprisingly open about her hobbies. I expected it to be more of an underground fighting ring.
You know, are sandwiches on this planet made of Sandwheat?
This seems to be strangely formatted. The base cost is 1.10 Materials and 4 Goodwill, while using the contact costs 3 Materials and 2.78 Goodwill extra, right?
We might want to do this action. The Unbroken doesn't have much to do and the surge of bandits should cause even more work for adventurers.
Could we use this to boost Diplomacy, aka The Hunt For Annika - Discrete?
Or could we use this to get a boost on the hunt action?
Does ^Ä^ have any preference?
Could we use this to turn a Tree action into Holding action? Most Tree actions are way too expensive to do right now and starting the other 4 turn action now means we can finish the basics for Norqod in 4-5 turns.
Right now the plan is to build the Airship Anchorage, which will take two turns. By that point the service buildings will be finished so there is no need to switch actions.

Nope, ^Ä^ only speaks in emoticons. Talking about research or numbers becomes slightly difficult when your conversation partner answers "What is the powerhouse of the cell?" with "°*,~○"
It will actually do just that! (In 6 turns.)
It is an underground Noble fighting ring. And Martyris is a noble, so being open about it near him, especially when one considers he married Maranica's personal maid/attendant/showpiece, isn't that strange.
Yes, and I will not apologize for that joke.
It boosts all actions in a category, so yes.
No, as Annika is a person and not an organization. You need her found now, not after careful infiltration.
He does not, and, in all fairness, has no demands for his new Frame. He is aware that buying/creating one is costly, and so leaves the choice to you.
Yep, you can do that.

Aaaaand I just realized that I fucked up the description for that action, as well as my clarification for it.
Shit.
Okay. It is not supposed to read 1d750 = up to 750 materials, but a 1d7500 = up to 75.00 materials. That's a pretty bad mistake on my part, I apologize.
So keep in mind that you won't get several thousand Materials because of it. That would be absurdly broken.
