Since I think that in all likelyhood I'm going to be hosting guests soon, I believe it would probably be prudent for me to prepare for both the possibilities of war and peace. To this end, I have my fab rovers spread out. While nothing appears to be happening for the moment, I'm not going to stop my rocket launches and somebody is bound to try investigating either way.
I dispatch several Fab rovers to construct "cities" around my outermost energy generator and metal extractor clusters. While I probably could just leave them out and about with almost no repercussions, I feel that it would be a lot better for the locals to not see my economy in action.
It'll actually take quite a while for all of my fab rovers to actually make the hundred mile drive to outer edges of my territory, so I fiddle around with the rockets a bit more. I'll probably use the rockets I build to launch fabricator satellites.
And I need to have my spy plane start scouting everywhere else too, just to make absolutely sure that the world I'm in actually is the bad max universe and if it is, see if it's fury road or the game that I'm stuck in since depending on whichever one I'm in, I'll need to approach Australia differently. Well, no actually, I don't actually need to approach Australia differently, but I have different plans for it.
Spy plane course plot, world map. I mark a bunch of places on the map and let it go, but not before telling it to launch a nanite rocket at a place off the australian coast.
------------------------------------------
It took about an hour and a half for the fab rovers to get to the outermost areas of my territory, Fortunately, when they were in place, I was able to direct them on how to construct the cities. Each city took me only a few minutes to plan out and from there, I would be able to leave most of construction to a spun off subconcious subroutine. I did take the time to lay down a few things manually first. First of all was a foundation layer of concrete coated stainless steel. Each foundation layer spread out in a square multiple kilometers long and wide block into which I would be able to build core infrastructure which included plumbing and a modular electrical grid. Once that was established, I was able to begin in earnest.
At the center of each city is a large tower, what I call a citadel, which encapsulates the mass extractor and generator cluster. Each citadel is a box, almost 200 meters wide and long by 300 meters tall and each one is protected by laser towers and galatia rocket towers. After a 200 meter exclusion zone, the actual city part begins.
I do pre-build several structures before I turn it over to subroutine, mainly several large hangers, solar panel farms, high rise vertical agricultural buildings, and several skyscrapers ranging from 20 to 80 stories filled with either offices or apartments. I also make sure that there is a solar power plant, a gas power plant, a wind power plant, and a waste fired power plant just to allow for redundancy. I also personally install large water plants which use enough resource cores to synthesize something like ten thousand gallons of fresh water every hour. What water isn't used is funneled into a four billion liter underground holding tank for use. When the holding tank is filled, it is supposed to run through a pipeline to the "ocean" but since I don't yet have the territory to build the pipeline yet, I just set it to pump the water to the surface and flash boil it off in several giant structures.
Sewage is a problem that I mainly solve by finding a use for it. The sewage is pumped to a facility which dehydrates, irradiates, and processes all solid waste into neat cubes of organic matter to be used as fertilizer in the vertical farms or for burning in some power plant somewhere in the future. It's brilliant.
Once I have that done, It's basically a big game of copy and paste a bunch of times and then letting my subroutine fill in the blanks.
Right then. I guess I'll nap for a bit. I'll set to wake up in like, a few hours or so. Night.
------------------
I wake up from my nap to an alert that my spyplane has managed to get to Australia and has relatively marked out everything that would possibly warrant marking out.
First of all, yes, I actually am in Mad Max. I can tell because the citadel exists, three huge stone towers sitting atop a huge aquifer. There are also various cars and such scattered around including the iconic war rig. Incidentally, there are actually several other "war rigs" running around, only a few of them are actually able to carry a lot of stuff around like the actual war rig at the Citadel. They can still carry a lot, just not as much.
It looks like this world is a sort of amalgamation of the movie and the game since there seems to be Scabrous Scrotus and The People Eater running gastown at the same time, apparently with The People Eater as the mayor and Scrotus as the super general of its military and the considerable fleet of vehicles at its disposal.
Name: Gastown
Leaders: The People Eater, Scabrous Scrotus
Military Strength: ~160 warboys, ~150 other paramilitary, ~65 vehicles
Threat: Negligible
Other population: 2000+
Resources: Crude and refined oil products, misery, death, terrible fashion
Right. The next bit is the bullet farm which is basically a small settlement surrounding an abandoned lead mine from which they extract and refine various metals and materials from which they can make bullets, primitive weapons, standard metal billets, and occasionally spare parts for vehicles though not any sort of precision machine parts. As per usual, it's run by The Bullet Farmer who is somewhat crazy but generally the sort of benign craziness that comes from being a dictator.
Name: The Bullet Farm
Leader: The Bullet Farmer
Military Strength: ~150 warboys, ~100 other paramilitary, ~45 vehicles
Threat: Negligible
Other population: 600+
Resources: Sweat, Blood, Bullets, Crude Metals, stoic perseverance
And the last settlement of note is the Citadel itself. The place is teeming with life, though not in a good way.
Name: The Citadel
Leader: Immortan Joe
Military Strength: ~420 Warboys, 50+ vehicles
Threat: Negligible
Other population: 4000+
Resources: Machine Parts, dead people, water, pain, misery, repair services
And there's various places too, like Jeet's stronghold, Chumbucket's hideout, Gutgash's stronghold, Pink Eye's stronghold, and Deep Friah's temple along with a bunch of other faction camps and patrols. It looks like even in the apocalypse, humans find ways to thrive and then subsequently start killing each other.
Eh.
I'll get to that later, probably going to save it some other way once I have everything taken care of.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take into account that with my spy plane off over australia, I don't have any eyes over my own territory until I get some more spy planes in the air. I'd probably better get to work on that, but in the meantime, I have my spy plane fly north to scout out china, korea, and japan, and then set a waypoint over to where the north american continent is supposed to be.
China and other places seem to be the places where there might be survivors and then I want to see what happened to America. I may be a machine, but dammit I'm an american, and I've got to know what happened to my country. Once that's done, I open up the building editor.
