We do need to make sure we have 25 Resources to spare, because we are 100% doing the Black Budget next turn, which means we'll be back "down" to "only" 200 Resources a turn.
 
[X] Plan: A Good General Has Good Officers

I just don't think starting Canis right off the bat when we're probably not going to do any of the vespene options for a few turns is all that useful. Tyrador needs to get resolved; getting these people jobs so they can earn some kind of wage is good, and likewise selling off those consumer goods will probably add some revenue for us. That's more immediately useful than an expensive project that pays off only when we get proper resource extraction going again. Vardona's gas is something we might not even get around to for the next ~3 turns- and since Canis is merely a refinery, it probably applies retroactively to preexisting Vespene harvesting operations- at which point we would probably want to do Vardona's Vespene first.
 
[X] Plan Attempting to Extinguish The Dumpster Fires

Guess I like this plan better, but either one is a good start.
 
Only issue I have with Laurent's plan is not using all 3 dice for Obligatory National Service to reach the DC, but I like the overall action spread (Brontes clean-up, Echelon, etc).

I did really think about that, but a part of me leaned towards starting to chip away at the more... positive Services ones. I'm tempted to switch it to full out National Service, but I wondered at the effects of executing it and whether it needs all three dice. I'm left uncertain, to be clear. Hmm, what do others think?
 
I'd be fine with you changing it.
(I wonder if rolling too high won't incur a Paranoia penalty? But I think we want to do well on it regardless.)

    At Laurent's request, the die from Mass Literacy was moved into Obligatory National Service.

    Ignore that third Augustgrad die; this is my first time using this interface.

    EDIT: Rolling for penalty reduction; if it's 51 or higher, it'll reduce the penalty to -8 for next turn. And... it is! Horner is down to -8 for his penalty as of Turn 2.

    • Tbf, rolling too high on organizing national work crews might just trigger Mengsk's paranoia so the sweet spot would be an average result lol. I guess in that sense I'm not miffed about the plan as it was.
     
    Augustgrad: 30+2-5=27/400 progress, hugely underwhelming :(
    Brontes Orbital Cleanup: 65+94-5=154/300, honestly a really good start.
    Keresh Complex Phase I: 86+76+82-10=234/200, which is both great and gives us some spillover into Phase 2.
    Tyrador Workshop: 85+3+17-10=95/400, below average, but could have been worse.
    Korhal Regreening: 1-10=0, for instance it could be this stinker.
    Farmsteads, Phase 1: 83+59-10=132/400, a very good start!
    Obligatory National Service: 81+18+18-10=107, somehow we would have gotten the highest DC with just one dice. Oh well!
    Korhal Academy: 75+8+60+5-5=143/200, below average but should be in range of a 2-dice completion next turn for a nice Paranoia dip.
    Supply Bunkers: 94-10=84/50, we completed the hell out of it, hopefully there's overrun.
    Protective Ensemble: 18+38-10=46/100, underwhelming but we're within 2 of completing it, so that's next turn.
    Bureaucracy, Upper Echelons: 27+55-10=72/100, not a great roll but it does put us within 1-2 dice of completing it, so that's nice!
    Vice Chancellor: We fucking killed it.
    Assistant: 59-10=49, luckily the highest DC was 40! So we got it.

    Uh, I think those -5 and -10 penalties apply per die, not per project.

    So I think we're at

    Augustgrad: 22/400
    Brontes Cleanup: 144/300
    Keresh Complex: 214/200
    Tyrador Workshop: 75/400
    Korhal Regreening: -29 (or 0)/400
    Farmsteads: 122/400
    National Service: 87
    Korhal Academy: 128/200
    Supply Bunkers: 74/50
    Protective Ensemble: 36/100
    Upper Echelons: 62/100
    Vice Chancellor: We fucking killed it.
    Assistant: 49, highest DC was 40
