Chatting provides a 3 turn buff. No point in doing it if they still have the buff.
Maybe it'd be better to focus less on quantity and more on quality by trying to line up synergy with other personal or national actions.Chatting provides a 3 turn buff. No point in doing it if they still have the buff.
@Arathnorn Does Jumba have the non-specialist crit fail penalty for 'Research biomechanical interfaces"?
Plus, it synergizes with the Silphium and the biomechanical interfaces.There's no point in activating the other-dimension-inator this turn. It's just rushing for the sake of rushing. It'll give us some funds yes, but we'll have nine next turn.
The thing is it unlocks a quest for us to take and with Negaduck around the corner, it is not a good idea to be sending our minions out on extra-dimensional conquest.
Genetic diseases will give us a strong foundation in the [Healthcare] industry and we don't have much time before Gen-U-Tech beats us to it.

Of course it is rushing. We don't need it right now and we can't use it at all. In order to do it we need to sacrifice advances in an industry which are time-limited.Err...
If you prefer Nystical's plan, that's of course a valid choice, but describing the activation of the otherdimensionator as "rushing" is inaccurate.
We've had extradimensional tech as an option since July/August 2016, we did the Crystal Key in January/February 2017 and we've had the current DC since March/April 2017.
This has been delayed for more than a year in and out of universe. It is entirely overdue.

Yes, but it does risk us having to play catch-up."We don't need it" is a bold statement, considering that Toffee is high in our shit list and that Negaduck is also confirmed to be using a pair of Dimensional Scissors.
Aside from that, I am not terribly worried about being locked out of the Healthcare industry. While Xanatos has been taking actions with Gen-U-Tech in that front, there has been no indication of his company reaching a dominant position in that industry. Not yet, at least.
Honestly, Janna's loyalty is doing fine, and Marco...Eh. We're not really that bad.ODI is also important to keeping guys like Janna and Marco content.
While Healthcare is interesting, I don't feel we need to actually "Lead" in that Industry. Simply being in it and earning income is enough. We can cure Genetic Diseases on our own time, either next turn or the one after. As long as no one gets a monopoly we should be good.
I honestly think Interns on the Collab is the optimal play.[x] Plan: Let's Get Dangerous + Kermit Goes to Washington + Otherdimensionayor
Is it the non optimal play? Most likely.
But I really want to get the ODI done and considering the current leading plan it wouldn't be done next turn either.
Since the plan asks for a research Collab taking 1 of our 2 Learning actions and with the possible new Negaduck actions it's very likely that the other Learning will be occupied by that.
Had the plan be doing something else in place of a research Collab I think we would have space next turn for the ODI but because it chooses to do a research Collab I think it most won't be the case
Yes, "we don't need it" would be a bold statement, you are correct in that assessment. However, and you should know this full well, I did not say that. Right after that I said "right now." I have said more than enough for you to know that what you said is fundamentally incorrect."We don't need it" is a bold statement, considering that Toffee is high in our shit list and that Negaduck is also confirmed to be using a pair of Dimensional Scissors.

Sending some of our best defender hero units into another dimension when Negaduck is attacking seems like a bad idea.
We're not locked into doing it the turn after we finished ODI.does activating the otherdimensionator unlock a quest that we could start at a later date
Outcome: Other-Dimension-Inator created. You can manage to move some resources for your first expedition, but subsequent activations will incur a funds cost of 2. This cost may be reduced through various means.
You will be able to take your inaugural quest at any time after this action is completed.
Even if the ODI merely unlocks the quest rather than triggers the quest, where does that leave us? Would you then argue that it's safe to do the ODI now because we could just delay the ODI-quest?This one is actually a potentially important objection, so let's see if we can get an answer.
@Arathnorn , does activating the otherdimensionator unlock a quest that we could start at a later date or does it trigger a quest that will take place in the turn following the activation? If the answer is neither, how does it work, mechanically speaking.
