There could be a lot to learn even if we don't ask the Meteor about the World-Swallowing Tree: the Meteor's origins, nature, potential applications of the Mystical Peacock, how it thinks we should / could deal with Meteor Sickness.
Even if it doesn't tell us the full truth, we would learn more about it and it's capabilities and be able to use that to learn more.

The prowess specializations act as modifiers of the base prowess. Weapon Training is effectively an augmentation of Taijutsu, meaning that higher taijutsu benefits weapon specialists.

Just noticed this.
And I like this mechanic as well, makes sense to have such inspirations fade away as years go on if you don't use it as your memory of said event get's fades. And makes us use them in timely manners instead of sitting on them for years on end.
But looks like one of our Taijutsu inspirations is fuzzy now so yeah they look like to be on a timer now so we'll want to expend these sooner then later so we don't waste them. And I mean all the inspirations in general I was just using this one cause it's the one that's fuzzy so I assume closest to fading away completely.

Priorities, priorities....so much to do, so little time/actions. A bump to our action economy can't come soon enough. I dream of the day we can truly delegate responsibilities....I suppose we could give more independence to our research heads in terms of what projects they do, but that would come at a loss of direct control I don't think we can afford at the moment.
I agree broadly with the list of must-haves Reaper outlined. Though I think we can be a little more flexible and delay research into Kekkai Genkais another turn. I also think it's important we take some personal time since we've been at full throttle for like, the last year or two. Take a breather while we still can so that we're nice and refreshed when war actually breaks out.
I think, broadly speaking, we're looking at a few different paths we could take:
1. We focus preparing for the war. Doubling down on our jutsu development, cracking chakra blades, and helping Mori fortify Bear Country. I would also put studying kekkei genkais here, though probably on a slower burn. We would definetely want to split the engineering department if we go this route.
2. We refocus back on the Meteor and start working out whether we can trust the thing and, if so, how to get the Kage on board with starting Meteor training back up.
3. We focus on industrializing and modernizing Bear Country. So, establishing an Earth Science department would be a must. And we would want to make sure we work with Honjo.
4. We focus on making improvements to the department. Computers, new departments, expansions, the works. Get apersonal gofer apprentice.
5. Go all out on developing our fuunjutsu and chakra studies. Get the expedition up and rolling and keep picking away at improving our knowledge about chakra in general.
These aren't mutually exclusive, of course. And there's overlap between all of them to some extent. It's just a matter of what we want to prioritize for the next few turns. I'd wager we could effectively pursue two of these and start chiping away at another. I will point out that, in-universe our current priority is the jutsu updates. Personally, I'd go with 1+4, and start chipping at 2 or 3.

Alright given the new rules, I have come up with a new plan.
[] Plan Computer Preparation
-[] Request Intelligence begin looking into the jutsu of other villages.
--[] Have them start up a new network elsewhere. (-50 BP/turn until set up for 2 turns, then -25 BP/turn until completion or cessation)
---[] Kusagakure
-[] Talk to the ex-Kiri clans about modernizing Hoshi jutsu.
--[] Focus on genjutsu.
-[] Aid in the industrialization of Bear Country. x2
--[] Survey the land for untapped resources.
--[] Survey the land for ideal industrial sites.
-[] Study the bodily kekkei genkai of a clan. Learn what you can to assist your new citizens and discover potential issues before they emerge.
--[] Unbreaking Hide
-[] Invest in computers and computer networks for the Hoshigakure Research Center. This will improve the Facilities of all departments, increasing the speed at which they produce results and opening new opportunities to explore.
-[] Leave Biology as-is.
-[] Change Chakra Studies' priorities.
--[] Begin preparations for an expedition to Uzushiogakure.
-[] Leave Engineering as-is.
-[] Hone yourself. You are a shinobi of Hoshigakure, you cannot slack in your abilities.
--[] Brush up on taijutsu (+15 bonus)
-[] Reach out to someone. The shinobi life gets lonely if you're not careful. (Converts a personal action into a social action. Can only be done once per turn.)
-[] Learn more about Kumori, envoy(?) of the Spiders.
-[] Collaborate with a council member on a particular duty.
--[] Contract Master Kasei Honjo, in meeting with the Daimyo and his ministers.
-[] Talk to someone you would trust with the summoning contracts. Get an idea of what they'd want and whether they would actively pursue a contract in their hidden state, or else wait for it to come to the village.
--[] Tomoe Endo, Meteor Warden
-[] Sign the Spider Contract and become a summoner.
So the basic idea of this plan is to get started on important stuff, then speed up our rate of progress. A second Active Project is nice, but I consider doubling our current rate at which all of them progress with a single action to be more valuable right now.
Finally get started on the Bloodline research, start off on a strong foot for the Contract Master, and take one more step to being done with the Contract talks.

Because Bloodlines often have associated medical issues, and Unbreaking Hide is the bloodline of the Wakita. We don't know, but I for one suspect that taking the bloodline studying action for them will provide a bonus to the Taijutsu update action.
If it doesn't, then it still informs us of potential health issues for our newest residents, so we should still do it.

Not really one for planning but to comment on some stuff.
--[ ] Focus on the unique kunai designs. (-50 BP)
--[ ] Focus on the unique crossbow bolts. (-50 BP)
These seem like they would give everyone a slight boost. Nothing game changing but nice. Little bit of a edge.
-[ ] Further experiment in the creation of chakra blades. (-100 BP, 2 turns)
This on the other hand would give our elites a major boost. Everyone wouldn't get one but our best people would.
Between the two I would give our elites the large boost. We have trouble dealing with heavy hitters. This could narrow the gap and help our heavy hitters catch up.
-[ ] Begin preparations for an expedition to Uzushiogakure.
I think we have enough on our plates at the moment. We could probably get a lot from this but it doesn't really feel like a priority ya know?
--[ ] Have them start up a new network elsewhere. (-50 BP/turn until set up for 2 turns, then -25 BP/turn until completion or cessation)
---[ ] Kusagakure
Don't aggro our bigger more dangerous neighbor. Pick on a smaller power for jutsu.
-[ ] Aid in the industrialization of Bear Country.
I think all this can wait until we get the earth science department running. Then we can get them on this since that would be their specialty.
-[ ] Ask the Meteor questions. You have time for three topics per action spent; any number higher than a multiple of three will round up (ex. four questions will cost two actions).
--[ ] Ask about its connection to the Meteor Trained.
--[ ] Ask about the potential capabilities of Mystical Peacock.
--[ ] Ask how to deal with Meteor Sickness.
We should absolutely do this.
This stuff has nothing to do with whether it can be trusted or verifying its story. We haven't talked to the summons yet so we can't do that anyway.
But these questions deal with things we need to deal with regardless. We have meteor guards, we have meteor sickness, and we are currently limiting what techniques the meteor guard can use. So all of these questions are useful to know right now.
Once we do the summons thing we can do the other three questions.
-[ ] Study the exact mechanisms of the Black Thorns kekkei genkai.
-[ ] Study the bodily kekkei genkai of a clan. Learn what you can to assist your new citizens and discover potential issues before they emerge.
--[ ] Funeral Venom
--[ ] Kumonosugan
--[ ] Akumagan
--[ ] Unbreaking Hide
Not sure if these are a immediate priority but we definitely need to do all of these at some point.
My guess is they just give the various users a straight up boost. Either from new combat uses, dealing with downsides, or finding utility uses for them in non combat ways.
-[ ] Invest in computers and computer networks for the Hoshigakure Research Center. This will improve the Facilities of all departments, increasing the speed at which they produce results and opening new opportunities to explore.
NOTE: This will increase the speed of all Active Projects by one point of Progress, and the annual costs of all departments by 25 BP.
I don't really understand this project or the issues with it. I'll leave it to you guys.
-[ ] Form a new research department. This will grant you a new group to open up new areas of research, pursue Active Projects within their specialty, and provide expertise on new topics. Any new departments will come online the turn after their formation.
--[ ] Form the Computer Science department, headed by Minako Noguchi (-50 BP annually, increase current Space by 1)
--[ ] Form the Earth Science department, headed by Kohei the Outclanner (-50 BP annually, increase current Space by 1)
--[ ] Split Engineering into the General and Military Engineering departments, keeping Kei in charge of the former and putting Satsuki Asanuma in charge of the latter (-50 BP annually, increase current Space by 1)
--[ ] Form the Psychology department, headed by Asami Katayama (-50 BP annually, increase current Space by 1)
All of these are great but I think the best one is Earth science due to industrialization starting. Then either computers or psychology.
-[ ] Consider the prospect of an apprenticeship.
Huh... This could be interesting. How would this work?
[ ] Hone yourself. You are a shinobi of Hoshigakure, you cannot slack in your abilities.
-[ ] Brush up on taijutsu (+15 bonus)
Don't want to lose the boost.
[ ] Take time for yourself. This is a lot, and you have to stay grounded in order to do it right.
[ ] Reach out to someone. The shinobi life gets lonely if you're not careful. (Converts a personal action into a social action. Can only be done once per turn.)
She's done a lot recently. A little break could be nice.
[ ] Get to know a fellow council member.
-[ ] Intelligence Head Hisako Dago.
-[ ] ANBU Commander Crocodile.
We should probably try and get to know these two so we can see if they are worthy or interested in trying for the remaining available summons.
[ ] Sign the Spider Contract and become a summoner.
And every plan should do this.

Dilemmas & Milestones

There are multiple Dilemmas that the Research Director of Hoshigakure is charged with resolving. Solving each Dilemma will effectively solve the related problems and establish a new and improved status quo, unchallenged except by further trials, and grant a Milestone advancement as a benefit. The current Dilemmas, as well as the solved ones, are listed below.
Industrial Shame:
Hoshigakure's strength is limited by the strength and plenty of Bear Country, a backwater that has resisted the call of industrial and agricultural revolution. This will not be acceptable forever; better to fix it now.
Jutsu Crisis:
The techniques wielded by Hoshi nin have proven out of date, untempered by the same conflict as other shinobi from outside Hoshi's walls. Modernizing jutsu is critical to ensuring effectiveness and equal standing against enemy nin.
Meteor Crisis:
The Meteor that has empowered the shinobi of Hoshigakure for generations, that provided the site of the village's founding, has proven to be the source of a terrible sickness. For the first time since its power was discovered, an investigation has been launched to determine what, exactly, is to be done with it.
Fuuinjutsu is broadly considered one of the most powerful varieties of shinobi technique, extremely versatile and capable of complex implementation. Hoshigakure's understanding of it is out of date: this must be remedied.

Ok, so for the new clans, our investigating them is strictly for medical issues. Like, the Wakita. They have super tough skin and are apparently denser compared to non-Wakita or something, so how does that effect something like their ability to go through surgery safely? Do they need special tools, or would we need to come up with alternatives? Or the...Asanuma, I think? The ones with the Funeral Venom. They secrete...well, venom, so how does that work? Do they have special dietary requirements non-Asanuma don't?
Investigating our own Kekkei Genkai is Chiyome looking for a potential connection to this World-Swallowing Tree thing, and how a Kekkei Genkai might or might not be connected to it. She's using herself because she is a medical professional, the Kiri expats would justifiably be wary of the idea, and she has the only remaining Kekkei Genkai native to Hoshi.

Bear in mind that the speed with which these actions are completed affects how long it will take for the armor manufacturing plant to come online; waiting to address it will make it slower to produce the ballistic nylon.
Noncanon, as previously established. The existence of one village that makes all the best gear for all the other villages is too precarious by multiple measures, and would not exist in a reasonable interpretation of a world like this one.
That's all very nice and logical.
The newbs are from Kiri.
One of the founders needs to go first.

To be entirely honest?
If we have the opportunity, i want to hire that one sword maker who wants to make the Eightth Sword, specifically as a capstone for our efforts to absolutely fuck with Kiri.
Also desperately want to pick up Kenjutsu, become sword ninja and finally use the blades we own.

We are pretty close to solving the Equipment Dilemma and we've made a good amount of progress on the Sealing Dilemma even if it'll probably take a good while to finish that. Solving Dilemmas gives some really great bonuses to Chiyome and help the village so those are things to focus on.

[ ] Per the Council's Request: Work on the research suggested by your fellow council members.
-[ ] Aid in the industrialization of Bear Country.
--[ ] Survey the land for untapped resources.
--[ ] Survey the land for ideal industrial sites.
[ ] Standard Operation: Conduct other business with the research center.

RESEARCH DIRECTIVES
Biology:
[ ] Leave Biology as-is.
Chakra Studies:
[ ] Change Chakra Studies' priorities.
-[ ] Begin preparations for an expedition to Uzushiogakure.
Engineering:
[ ] Leave Engineering as-is.
PERSONAL ACTIONS
[ ] Hone yourself. You are a shinobi of Hoshigakure, you cannot slack in your abilities.
-[ ] Brush up on taijutsu (+15 bonus)
[ ] Take time for yourself. This is a lot, and you have to stay grounded in order to do it right

I think this would be a good plan. It clears out the last two ex-Kiri clans modernization actions, helps prepare for future industrialization efforts, questions the Meteor, starts the Earth Science department, prepares the Uzushio expedition and has us hone our Taijutsu.

I don't think this is a bad plan, but I'm not sure about asking the Meteor Questions right now, or opening a new department instead of getting computers. I do agree that Earth Science is going to be valuable, but I honestly think that Computers would be more valuable to get first, if I had to choose between the two. Earyh.Science only gives us a new.Directive that proceeds at the same rat as the others, while Computers straight up doubles the rate of progress Directives are pursued at for all departments, including the ones we open after this.
Meanwhile, for the Meteor...none of this is really an immediate concern that the Meteor can help with. Endo can talk to it about the potential for the Mystical Peacock on her own, and in fact is already making strides on improving their capabilities, its origins aren't really helpful and likely aren't verifiable if it really is from space, and its connection to the Meteor Trained...ok, that's potentially useful, but it's also something that can wait a turn while we get other,.more urgent stuff set up.
Is there any chance I could persuade you to switch out one of the two for Computers instead?
