Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition
We already ran off with their botanist.
And he gave us inspiration for tib pigs, IIRC.
Congratulations. That somebody is us.

I am very concerned that we can scrape the planet clean but still have unreachable veins of Tib spreading below. Getting that deep is going to be challenging even without the added complication of matter eating crystal.

Ugh... the war is causing problems and will probably have lasting consequences in the future.
Tiberium decided to avoid all the hassle and run deep and silent. That's a big problem.
Projects are proceeding. Many completed. Military did very well.
Have to see what next turn brings. Hopefully not too many repair projects.
Need to keep plugging at the mega projects.
Maybe finish the last phase of alloys as that specifically helps tib mining.

Unreachable, no. Difficult to reach, yes. Prepare for more pain in the key of Capital Goods.
Or Energy. Which means Capital Goods but also Labour.

TBH I was expecting worse.
Underground Tib has been untouched for decades except for our minor borehole mining.
Once we roll out the rest of the inhibitors and start targetting underground Tib properly, the biggest problem will be filling in the holes.
I think we might have to leave Isolinear Chips at Phase 2 and pivot to Nuuk Phase 4 for the necessary robotics. We'll have to tank the labor costs.
Space Pops seems to be ticking along okay, and with the magical rings I'm guessing we don't need Free dice in Orbital.

It's simple all we have to do is turn the planet inside out to make all that tib easier to get to, should be easy barely an inconvenience.

I'd vote for him. He makes planting trees sound rather badass.
I hope the Reclamation party gets a lot more seats, as I approve of everything this man is saying.
Am i reading this right?
Is....is Tiberium alive and actively avoiding us?
That has so many disturbing implications.
Can we trick it in coming to the surface?

We totally can. That is what our Enhanced Spikes do.

That's always been a key trait of it. It's adaptive to whatever is causing it problems and mutates in response.
That's what the enhanced growth spikes are for. Drawing it to the surface instead of pushing it underground like we were earlier.

Nuuk might require a stage of Fusion on top of Labor costs.
Then again we'll need at least 1 anyway.

In recent investigations one curious scan for underground tib revealed a strange coincidence. It seems that some underground tib spelled out "Fuck the Treasury!" With some scientists skepitcal on the accuracy of the report or why later scans revealed the same sentiment spelled out in 5 different langauges.

We still need to replace the Monrovia Yard--that was our only place for new builds of Leopards, and our launch fleet is going to get stretched. We don't have big enough portals to replace fusion launch vehicles yet, especially for large assemblies.
Dang. I was really hoping that with the refit our tanks would become mark 1 Bolo's. Basically shove a VI into it to help the crew. Looks like we aren't getting any best boy's in this quest or the following one. *Is sad*
We even completed what I considered to be the tech requirements to have a chance at it too this turn!

I think that some iterations of the Mark IV Mammoth might evolve into that. We already use advanced VI systems (we call them EVAs) all over the place in our military.

Well at least we have some idea on how bad things are. More you know right.
Plus side we beat bach Tib to 50% well 50.03% let's go most of the planet is some what liveable again.

Tiberium is almost certainly a creation of a jackass precursor race. Its 100% designed to fuck over as many people as it can, especially new young races that don't know what it is.
It actively mutates to counter attempts to contain it (i.e. mutating to become more resistant to sonics). It draws more tiberium from other locations to counter attempts to get rid of it elsewhere (i.e. what happened in one of our big Red Zone pushes where Tiberium outright responded to our big push and drew in shitload of Tib from other locations and creates fissures and other hazards.
The reason why we lose abatement every so often is Tiberium constantly mutating to defeat our countermeasures.

I mean, that kinda already happened?

So far no impact from refugee evacuation.

So from this we can say that all of the Surface Red, Yellow, and Cyan Zones are undermined by underground Red Zone Tiberium. The Blue Zone is roughly 50/50 split between Underground Red and Yellow Zone with >1% of the Blue Zones having Underground Blue Zone.
Data
| Type | Red Zone | Yellow Zone | Cyan Zone | Green Zone | Blue Zone |
| Surface | 50.03 | 23.935 | 0.07 | 0 | 25.965 |
| Underground | 87 | 12.77 | 0 | 0 | 0.23 |
| Blue Zone Undermining Ratio | 49.93 | 49.18 | 0 | 0 | 0.89 |
With the 'BZ Undermining Ratio' being the percentage of the Blue Zones that have been undermined by the Underground Red and Yellow Zones, assuming that all of the Surface Red, Yellow, Cyan, and Green Zones are all undermined by Underground Red Zone.
This is not good, but we have tools that can fight against it (Vein Mines, E-Tib Spikes, Inhibitors) and now that the Inhibitors can roll over the remaining 12 can be rolled out a bit faster and cheaper. Hopefully the Tib Spikes will be less costly in PS now, probably still a cost, but not as bad as they were. Vein Mines likely effect Underground Tib Mitigation, but how much they do is up for debate.
In lighter news we are 1 turn away from getting the surface Red Zone back below game start levels which is an important milestone.

Wrex and Raz in the new quest or bust. C'mon it's just right there
Huh, I kept being annoyed we were putting it off but I guess upside is we have benefits of Karachi learnings for new vehicles. Not sure it was worth it though...
Yeah this shit is a menace. Really almost seems intelligent sometimes, wonder if it's like... actually programmed somehow with some sort of expert system? Still, we've had posts before mentioning that our glacier mining causes tiberium to be siphoned from a distance, so we just need to figure out if that works vertically too. Huh, actually, I wonder if accelerators do that as part of their design? Now that we better understand inhibitors I bet we can design an attractor that doesn't accelerate growth!

Yes, its called an Enhanced Tiberium Harvest Spike, we've built 1 and are well on the way to building a second. Its only downside is the political capital cost, which just got mitigated by the Underground Tib Survey.
