How Should Minions Be Capped?

Meanwhile I'm trying to design a quantum computer which will unlock many new tricks we can do with our servers, but no one wants to help...
 
Also, something people can start working on with the influx of research Navis, is expanding understanding. For a guaranteed critical success, you only need 2 more people than the current tech level. Like, Space Manipulation is at lvl 2, so 4 people would guarantee another critical success. You CAN get a critical success with just 1 more, but it's not certain.

Oh, question, do Research assisstants benefit from network mode?

Hmm, nice idea. More computing power is always good.

I'm assuming that, since we can build stuff sneakily despite active surveillance with the cost of 30 per room, we can empty a room at the same cost. Then I doubled that assumption to be safe, hence 60 bots to work over our 8 rooms. I'm assuming all the bots benefit from Network Mode.

Dedicating half of this turns production to fighting robots, since it looks like Combat will start revving up. The other half is split between research and espionage, equally important things. No operations quite yet, because I'm planning on making a better Operations bot.

This time I'm helping with these.
 
I already am using all available production. And Buzzkills and O-Robos give us much more bang for our buck.
Considering that I had that vote in there since the first post after the update, it was just hidden in the mess that it was at the time, I think I can use them.

That sounds a lot more angry/insulting/rude then I had intended, it was meant to be a simple statement of fact, and I can't seem to figure out what is giving it that feel when I read it.:confused:

[X] Study a Supernatural Phenomena
-[X] Do an delicate dissection of the alien corpse in an C.A.T. room. Avoid doing anything that can't be fixed, would kill it again upon revival, make it brain dead , or incapable of speech. Fix everything that can be fixed and sew the corpse back up.
-[X] Use reanimation serum on corpse. If it works than attempt to communicate with the alien. Ask some questions if it will answer them. As incentive to cooperate, offer an alliance to whatever if any group he is associated with. Get information on who he is, why he's on earth, who or what are the Lunar Rangers, and on all the info we got on aliens so far.
-[X]There are four attempted alien infiltrators in Illuminati custody within the Buenos Aires area. Are they apart of the same group? unrelated? Etc.
-[X] There are 18 suspected aliens currently at large in Greater Buenos Aires. Try and confirm identities with resurrected alien.
-[X] Intelligence indicates that there are two major interstellar powers with interests on Earth, currently at war with each other. Ask for information on this war. What are the sides. Why are they fighting? Which side are you apart of?
-[X]You also spotted what you're pretty sure is an alien spaceship either exiting or entering hyperspace when all the dimensional sensors on-site pinged simultaneously in the direction of Tau Ceti. Do they know anything about this? Is Tau Ceti special or important to the aliens in someway?
-[X] What do they know about all the other supernatural and illuminati stuff going on? Compare our information to his.
-[X] If offer of an alliance is rejected, then inject with the Felinationizer. We might as well see if it'll work on aliens.

[X] Create a Blueprint
-[X] Warren, an organism-agnostic room that creates and counters the cost of minions at the same rate as a Replicator hub until its currency pool is fully tapped out. If the space supply is capped before the currency, the remaining currency can be used akin to the Forging Furnace. tldr, it's the GOCM but bigger & cooler. Ideally it's created by planting a tree which then digs out a cavern underground, creating (glowing) capsules filled with a goo which are accessible by a narrow passage. These cells create creatures and nourish and heal those which sleep inside of them, offering a full rest within two hours and a full restore within a week. Function example: Create an Empty Warren, Warren spends 80 (or whatever) virtual currency on creating minions. The next turn, it spends 80-upkeep cost of existing minions on creating minions. The next turn it... Until its currency supply is fully occupied. It needs to be told what to make (to save effort).

I mean, I guess you can. I do not own the means of production (though since they exist by large my effort, should generally get at least some of their production to my means).

What I meant was, I already have a plan in place which leaves no leeway for additional concurrent plans. I believe my plan is a better use of our resources, such that we'd all suffer detriment if I free up enough room in my plan to make room for yours as well. Do you got any arguments for why we'd benefit more from having 80 firebots (the total output of 2 Forging Furnaces), instead of 20 Buzzkills or 20 O-Robos (or some distribution there of)?

-[X] Combine the Jerry Machine with the Felinationizer and Reanimation Serum to create an machine that produces Cat Friends or at the very least just an production line to produce Jerrys and turn them into Cat Friends with the Reanimation Serum on standby for if the target dies in the process.
-[X] Since this is literally just adding the Felinationizer and Reanimation Serum onto the Jerry Machine, it should be easy enough to try and have an improved final overall product. Try and improve all components going into making the Factpurry if possible. Such as lowering if not outright eliminating the kill rate of the Felinationizer and/or making it produce stronger Cat Friends; stuff like that.
-[X] Look through all the equipment, research, items, and whatever M.A.D has to see if it'll improve the machine and/or the Cat Friends it makes.
-[X] For example: see if the Temporary Gene-Mod can be added to make Cat Friends able to use on will.

Also a bit late but i'll be right back with some comments and analysis by Felicia later. For now discuss if the revised alien dissection action up is good.
Also I noticed @Vanestus is going to try and cultivate an dream creature. Should we be doing that before knowing more about the process and any sideffects it might have. Confirming the information from the dream creature would be nice.
Also @I just write would we be able to use the C.A.T. rooms being built this turn for the dissection, or would it only be usable starting next turn?\
Also would Cat Friends be able to use/integrate Pandora Orbs since they can use equipment?

Wait did we ever get that escaped experiment/ blob/ goo thing back or is it still in the sewers or something?

Guys, I still need at least one other person to agree to help me out with the Illuminati raid to keep them from using our Buzzkills against us.

And ideally at least a couple of people to help confirm where we're supposed to be attacking and maybe getting us some intel on the place.

Why am I currently the only person who wants to go beat up on the Illuminati?

@Shadowhisker @Painfulldarksoul - Could I possibly convince the two of you to put aside your own individual Espionage actions for a turn and instead do a joint action to figure out where the Illuminati are keeping our stolen Buzzkill and maybe help figure out some information about the place to improve the chances of successfully attacking it?

I would help, but being injured I don't think I can.
 
to keep them from using our Buzzkills against us.
I don't think we need to worry THAT much. They only have one damaged copy to study, and it incorporates MANY pieces of extremely advanced tech. They might be able to get something out of it, in a month or two. Because they are not Mad. If they hire some Mad Scientists, then they might be able to recreate them, but if they are hiring Mad Scientists we got more to worry about than just that.
I would help, but being injured I don't think I can.
I'm pretty sure you can use a Battle Bot. Space Jawa is, and he's injured too.

Alright. What's the specific action?

RESEARCH ACTIONS

-[X] Quantum Computer

Not sure how to categorize
[X] Assist @Space Jawa / Eggman in their attack via Battle Bot
 
Alright. What's the specific action?

Right now, it looks like this:

[] Launch a nighttime attack on the Illuminati intended to get our stolen Buzzkill back (or at least keep the Illuminati from reverse engineering them)
-[] Eggman will participate in the attack via Battlebot; the Battlebot will operate the Eggmobile, which should have a pair of Exotic Particle Cannons mounted to it.
-[] Attack will be a surprise raid happening during the night; The supporting Orobots will be arranged in 10 5-bot fire teams, the supporting Buzzkill will be arranged in 5 12-Bot Squadrons, each squadron will be further sub-divided into 3 4-bot flight teams.
--[] Prior to the start of the attack, the robot teams will sneak into position to surround the target Illuminati base from all sides, including the air, ensuring that nobody inside is able to escape. Anything or anyone trying to flee once the attack begins should be ended with extreme prejudice. The Buzzkill will make the initial attack, opening passageways for the Orobot teams to enter. Orobots will then take point, entering the premises and sweeping the building, with each Orobot fireteam being accompanied by 1 Buzzkill flight team. All Orobot fire teams will participate in entering the building, while any Buzzkill flight teams that aren't directly accompanying an Orobot fire team are to remain on perimeter duty to stop anyone who tries to sneak past the attack teams.
--[] Eggman's Battlebot (and any other MAD scientists serving as mission team leaders) are to wait outside and provide perimeter support to the Buzzkill until either all hostiles are confirmed dead and/or captured, or until the Orobots find the stolen Buzzkill or any other valuables, at which point MAD mission team leaders will enter to take direct command of such situations which require a smarter, more direct touch.
-[] Primary mission goal will be to recover the stolen Buzzkill and ensure the Illuminati aren't able to reverse engineer them, if they can't be recovered, destroying the stolen Buzzkill to keep them out of the Illuminati's hands is an acceptable backup plan.
--[] Secondary mission goals will be capture of Illuminati prisoners, capture of any data, intel, or goodies that might be stored at whatever base the Illuminati are holding the Buzzkill at, and the complete destruction of the base and anything we can't steal.

The only part you need to vote for is the first line and specifying you're using a Battlebot, unless you want to put any personal touches of your own into the plan.

I'm also open to suggestions for alternate battle strategies.
