No. The Sith aren't that easy to butter up. You need to do meaningful things to change their opinion of you and what Mari does is lessen or strengthen that change in opinion.

No, we do not. What we actually needed done yesterday was our blaster and armor production, and spooling up our own production right now still won't be enough to actually meet our targets! We need to buy even more from outside.

-[X] Construct Indoor Farms (Stage 2) 3D 45R
-[X] Begin Local Blaster Production (Phase 1) 1D 5R
-[X] Begin Local Armour Production (Phase 1) 2D 10R
-[X] Develop Kaminoan Blaster Factories (Phase 2) 1D 15R
-[X] Expand Clone Production (Phase 3) 2D 30R
-[X] Cloning Operations (Phase 1) 3D 30R
-[X] Construct Training Facilities (Phase 2) 2D 30R
-[X] Recruit Mandalorian Trainers (Phase 3) 3D 45R
-[X] Endurance Enhancements (Phase 2) 5D 100R
-[X] Slowed Ageing 2FD 60R
-[X] Hiring Paper Pushers (Phase 1) 1D
-[X] Vehicle Suppliers 1D
-[X] Starfighter Suppliers 1D
Swapped clone dice numbers in hopes of reaching phase 2 of cloning opperations. Felt that starting regular equipment shipments held priority over paper pushers or secrets.

Equipment Suppliers doesn't actually give us equipment, it lets us hire people.

This is correct. Equipment Suppliers lets you get bonuses for locally developing designs and building up the local industrial capabilities from hiring outside expertise.

Okay, math time. We have 7 turns left in the plan and are supposed to do both 192 points of armor and blasters, that 28 per turn. Currently we get 8 from suppliers and can have local capacity for 4 of both. I we dont increase production, both local and outside, massively we will be unable to get these goals fulfilled.

You really do need to focus on getting Blasters, Armours and Clones. Training should be easy to finish and Dooku will provide you with options for vehicles and starfighters halfway into this year.

We also need to get 50 points of Starfight and ground vehicles, which we should start doing soon.

The clones are infants. We have years to ramp up production to when they'll actually be needed. Getting as many of the biological improvements done in time that we don't need a project just to give them to our early clones takes priority, as does expanding our intake of other war materials like equipment and ships.
Alright then. Swapped for burying secrets.

What is needed is what the Sith are asking of us.
But I'm sure Sidious will be very understanding about us not meeting the targets he set for us...

Current variation.
Start our intake of vehicles and starfighters and hopefully finish paperwork.

@Random Member and @BOTcommander could you switch atleast 1 Dice from Tidema City to Indoor Farms?
We are right now really low on Logistics, so low actually that we will be have negative Logistics when we finish Clone Production Expansion.
We are right now really low on Logistics, so low actually that we will be have negative Logistics when we finish Clone Production Expansion.
For some of the other planners I would look also at the cost of facilities and logistics.
First lets look at logistics:
Logistics: Marginal Surpluses (+1)
[] Construct Indoor Farms (Stage 2) (+3)
[] Expand Clone Production (Phase 4) (-2)
[] Construct Training Facilities (Phase 2) (-1)
So at best plans like Building An Army Worthy of Mandalore will at best break even if all options succed and at worst if just Indoor farms fail then we will be short on Logistics at -2
@Oshha What happens if any of our resources (facilities, production, logistics, trainers) goes into the negatives?
As for facilities:
Facilities: Moderate Surplus (+7)
[] Expand into Tidema City (Stage 2) (+4)
[] Construct Indoor Farms (Stage 2) (-2)
[] Develop Kaminoan Blaster Factories (Phase 2) (-2)
[] Expand Clone Production (Phase 4) (-1)
[] Construct Training Facilities (Phase 2) (-2)
So it's not so bad here. If Expanding into the next city fails and other options succeed then we will just eat our entire facility surplus.
I don't have the time right now to break out the percentages but I think plans that include Construct Training Facilities (Phase 2) are rather risky in my opinion.
As for not taking Paper Pushers this turn. Having 3 extra dice next turn will help us more expanding our requisitions and catching up more than just using our limited dice on expanding now and in future quarters.
Lets look at this year. If we don't take paper pushers and just focus on expanding our purchases.
1Q 3x52 = 156 points in purchases
2Q 3x52 = 156 points in purchases
3Q 3x53 = 159 points in purchases
4Q 3x53 = 159 points in purchases
So if we only go for expanding our purchases we can get 630 points in requisitions. And that is if we don't spend anything on Burying Secrets or getting Starfighters or vehicles.
Now let's look at the option if we get 3 extra dice this turn from Paper Pushers
1Q 0x52 = 0 points in purchases
2Q 6x52 = 312 points in purchases
3Q 6x53 = 318 points in purchases
4Q 6x53 = 318 points in purchases
So if we get Paper pushers now we can sink on average 948 points in expanding our purchases
Paper Pushers in Q2 will only give us 792 points, in Q3 we get 633 points for this year and in Q4 we actually get less points with 474 points for expanding purchases.
And how many extra blasters will we get? If we take expanded purchases on blasters and armour this quarter then we only earn 2 extra blasters and armour each. That will be 8 extra blasters and armour each this year. But if we get Paper Pushers this quarter we will be able to push 50% farther this year on our Admin purchases.
The later we would try grabbing paper pushers the less it will help us.

Logistics: Marginal Surpluses (+1)
[] Construct Indoor Farms (Stage 2) (+3)
[] Expand Clone Production (Phase 4) (-2)
[] Construct Training Facilities (Phase 2) (-1)

113 on 3d100+21 seems doable to me.
Except it's a +3 bonus to Admin rolls, not 3 extra dice....

Try it and find out.
It is an +3 bonus to each Admin Dice roll, not three extra dice.
My bad. How was I reading it as 3 extra dice I will never know. Since I always thought it was 3 extra dice. Might have been because us doing paperwork would give us 1FD for 500 points. Which would actually pay itself back in 10 quarters.
So the cost of completing that action is 300. While it give +3 per Admin dice. So at 3-5 dice (counting the free dice) that is 9-15 extra points per quarter. 300/9 to 300/15 is around 33,3 to 20. So completing that action would have us break even in 20-34 quarters. With the quest being predicted to last 3*12=36 quarters. Now realizing that I can only say one thing about that action unless higher stages have some super bonuses.
With that said unless the higher stages are a lot more (exponentially) efficient then I don't see us making any of the goals. It's just basic math. Maybe training will succeed.
