Fools, We Will Destroy You All! ...After We Save The World! (Mad Scientist Riot Quest)(RECRUITING!)

How Should Minions Be Capped?

@I just write For Pandoras, the five blueprints max means we have to made them first right?

While I don't know what the difference between just made then using them to integrating them, I'll just do it. For the rule of Cool.

Also let me know if my new votes is a bit absurd/impossible/invalid, it's on page 12 I think. I still have some ideas that lying around.
Integrating prevents the items being disarmed and doubles their effectiveness due to finer control.
 
Doubled? Hoo, that's nice. Okay then, though then time to find a way to combine bubble shield and shadow gate, or Movement Skates with plasma engine, or dimensional sensor and anomalous sensor, or Screen bot with Sad TV.
Integrating a component just applies it to you. For instance, nomming that spherical tokamak would result in it replacing your heart and powering your systems, providing its bonus to them.

Inb4 nomming super bomb.

Yeah I know, unless things like portable shield generator or something similar, most thing only apply to user directly. Though we can still swap them later on right?

The last bit, is more of ramblings and ideas not something to be integrated. I don't want to make everyone met me sad if I nom the sad TV after all.

Though it is a legit idea, like why should we have 2 different sensors (that can be overlapped too) if we can fuse them into one? Of course it would be much more complex, but hey, it could be one thing.

Btw, @them8 Fetchbot is no longer minions sadly, so mechanicaly you can't order them now? I think?

Could help developing the power armour, or open the Junkyard perhaps? Maybe I am bit biased but those two could help us alot, especially the later since we need money.

Though I don't know how much funds we have left if that mass recruitment pass . *shrug*
 
I could use more assistance in my biological research, or in investigating the Dream Creatures.

A dearth of funds will result in more expensive actions being dropped until the budget is balanced.

This should consume 56/350, which leaves 250 to finish the junkyard. The 10 Skilled Labor should reduce the risk of another failure. It also leaves 32 + 48 = 80 for the software company. It leaves another 12 for incidental expenditures, which was the cost of the robots et al last turn. Since there's a virtual 20 funding as a result of the furnace, this 12 will probably be used to manufacture "Jerry's Device" depending on its cost.
56 + 32 + 12 = 68 + 32 = 100 + 250 = 350. 48 was remainder funds. Total projected remainder is 12 + 20 = 32. Contingent upon cost of "Jerry's Device."
We currently have 398 funds. "mass recruitment" = 56; Junkyard = 250; Software = 80; Misc. can be up to 32.

I'm combat focused, not operations.
 
Finished integrating characters and starting inventions. What was that minion ruling people wanted?

Limit their amount based on the base and cap their bonus? Anything that make you easier crunching and keeping the number tbh. Also how to use them? Is it automatic or through sub-vote, dll.

Also those sweet, sweet blueprints

Actually, maybe we should have a limit of minions hired per character? I understand doing such is not exactly a norm, but we're a bunch of mad scientists here, not one lone mad scientist leading. Unlimited minions would kinda kill the spirit of the RIOT game.
Also, can minions be ordered to do something on the same turn hired?

As Ylamona stated. Since Umi-san had the 'genius' idea to hire about 100 in that first draft of her plan. Possibly a limit per player to not go insane just hiring people and throwing them at our problems.

Yes, IC, that would be justified. For the matter of the game, however, it would be boring.

Only limit on minions is what you can afford. Mad Scientists are explicitly meant to be the best 'supernatural' in the setting when it comes to powering up mundanes.

Well, as long you can manage says 10,000 total minion, with various moves, jobs, stats, locations, coupled with many different modifier from skills and tools later on?

Limit is there for the future play, we're still "just" 30 player after all. If minions command divided into many more different votes? *shrug*
 
Basically, Minion Command works like late-game Havoc Squad. Vote for an action you want minions to do, specify how many, and what type.
 
Example Minion Commands
Example perhaps? Also for more installation-type e.g. the furnaces too?
For Minions
[ X] Minions!
-[ X] 5 Interns
--[ X] Capture that alien doom-mecha!

For Autofabbers (like theForging Furnace)
[ X] Autofabber!
-[ X] Make (number)(blueprint)

Full planar transfer should be very useful, and I hope to integrate both Gate & Manipulator into a Robotic Design! Possibly one that makes use of a Dimensional Sensor, depending on how it goes.
