Alright it's morning and I'm back after the moratorium to post my own plan:
[X]In the Eye of the Maelstrom v2.3:
Infrastructure 5/5 dice 100 Resources:
-[X]Mecca/Jeddah Planned City (Phase 3) 200/640 20 Resources per Die, 5 Die = 100 Resources
Heavy Industry 5/5 dice 75 Resources:
-[X] North Boston Chip Fabricator (Phase 4) 628/1200 15 Resources per Die, 5 Die = 75 Resources
Light and Chemical Industry 4/4 dice 60 Resources:
-[X] Johannesburg Personal Robotics Factory 0/250 15 Resources per Die, 2 Die = 30 Resources
-[X] Chemical Fertilizer Plants 0/200 15 Resources per Die, 2 Die = 30 Resources
Agriculture 3/3 dice 40 Resources:
-[X] Yellow Zone Aquaponics Bays (Phase 4) 44/160 10 Resources per Die, 2 Dice = 20 Resources
-[X] Spider Cotton Development 0/40 20 Resources per Die, 1 Die = 20 Resources
Tiberium 5/5 dice + 6 Free Die 200 Resources:
-[X] Mecca/Jeddah Planned City (Phase 3) 200/640 20 Resources per Die, 1 Die = 20 Resources
-[X] Tiberium Stabilizers 0/2000 30 Resources per Die 20 Resources per Fusion Die, 9 Fusion Dice = 180
-[X] Security Reviews Tiberium
Orbital 3/3 Dice 60 Resources:
-[X] Orbital Cleanup (Stage 5) 42/90 15 Resources per Die 10 Resources per Fusion Die, 2 Die = 30 Resources
-[X] Lunar Regolith Harvesting (Phase 1) 321/350 30 Resources per Die 20 Resources per Fusion Die, 1 Die = 30 Resources
Services 4/4 Dice 40 Resources:
-[X] Expand Medical Schools 0/300 10 Resources per Die, 3 Die = 30 Resources
-[X] Domestic Animal Programs 0/200 10 Resources per Die, 1 Die = 10 Resources
Military 5/5 Dice 65 Resources:
-[X] Remote Weapons System Deployment Predator 225/350 10 Resources per Die, 2 Die = 20 Resources
-[X] Universal Rocket Launch System Deployment (Phase 1) 235/300 15 Resources per Die, 3 Dice = 45 Resources
Bureaucracy 2/2:
-[X] Security Reviews Tiberium 2 Dice
So instead of going for the Space shiny I'm going for the focuses I think we need done this turn and also activating all the dice so again this plan is:
- Focusing down Mecca in Infrastructure Dice
- Focusing down North Boston in Heavy Industry Dice
- Slowrolling Chemical Fertilizers and Personal Robotics because we need the former for the plan and the latter doesn't subtract from our resources
- Agriculture has Yellow Zone Aquaponics and Spider Cotton so we can get our Food goals, YZ favor and Capital Goods production
- Tiberium is activating Mecca, doing a security review and the just focusing down Tiberium Stabilizers with Fusion Dice
- Orbital is finishing up the Lunar Regolith Harvesting and doing Orbital Cleanup so we have space to launch things up there for the next year or two
- Services is Expanding Medical Schools with 3 Dice and starting on Domestic Animal Programs with 1 Die
- Military is just Deploying Predator and the first Phase of Universal Rockets
Yes I know there might be a better plan down the thread, but I'll be the judge of that when I read it. In the mean time I just wanted to deploy my own plan finally.
Anyway, we're going to need two different food projects for that part of the Plan. We already set up for the next phase of yellow zone aquaponics, so my suggestion for the other project is to use our newly freed up light industry dice to do Chemical Fertilizer Plants.
We've been talking about this since the 2056 turns. Are you just putting up a reminder? Or did you just come into the conversation here?
Okay why are all of the plan concepts that have been put up choose 'spider cotton' over 'Wadmalaw Kudzu' which is a stated high priority?
one is a method to mass produce a superior polymer, many times stronger than a steel string of similar thickness and with a fraction of the weight.
The other one is rated high priority because its a fast growing tea plant and the politicians want coffee.
Wadmalaw Kudzu is consumer goods/PS, spider cotton has military use without using military dice i think the second is needed more now we are swapping free dice from military to stabilizers.
Because that 'high priority' is politicians putting their thumb on the scales because they want coffee.
High priority to politicians isn't the same high priority as airforce needing advanced missiles.
Spider cotton meanwhile opens up capitol goods and stuff like that.
edit: Ninjas!
Because Spider Cotton is implying Capital Goods out of Agriculture, while the Kudzu is more of a PS choice that is high priority because you have bureaucrats across the initiative more or less going "Where is my fucking Caffeine Granger, you damned hack!"
People I'm having an Itches problem as is with Jesse Signal over on Twitter. I don't need another Itch here on SV because Millennials disdain coffee addiction because it is the consequence of crunch.
