Well, that's the question I asked. If we can do without large population and use drones for our needs, why is it a bottleneck?

because there's a limit to the number of drones each Carmote can handle. It's a large limit, but it's a limit.

Question: Can we research ways to improve our hard/software in order to control more drones?

The quest needs more votes before it can continue. Not that there's any need to rush given that I'm having a hard time getting in touch with the person I found to play Gandu.
Also, @Isaacssv558 you can, but it isn't going to be easy at all.

Hmm, do we really need two Preliminary to Mining actions in Economy? I think we might be better off with one of them replaced by more Citizen Factories, since population is our major bottleneck and the more people we have the more results we can get out of any given action slot.

Sure. @Isaacssv558, care to make/discuss the change?

Actually, the mechanic is that as you get more worlds under your control, you get more action slots.

I'm not really convinced we need two citizen factory expansions this turn. I'd rather do as much as we can on core mining and be able to spend more actions on mines and citizen factories on our colonies next turn. It's been stated that we need more colonies to get additional slots anyway so I'm not sure what benefit we'd get from having an extra action of citizen factories this turn. I'll consider changing it but unless someone gives a compelling reason not to wait until next turn I'll probably keep it as is.

Well, the way I see it, both resources and citizens are our bottlenecks for expansion, but we have a large enough supply of the former for it not to be an immediate problem, and the solution is in sight (core mining, asteroid mining).
On the other hand, the population problem is harder to deal with, and any attempts to sidestep it (for example, by improving individual capabilities of our citizens) are going to be tricky.
I don't feel strongly about any of those.

Oh, cool.
I was meaning more that with more people we can do more with what we have, though.

We're going to be spending a lot of those resources establishing those colonies and we'll have the solutions next turn. Once we've secured our resource supply we can pour actions, which we will have more of, into citizen factories. The population problem is also less immediate, and much easier to solve with increased resources.

We should but those both use industrial actions and we only have two, both of which are needed for our expansion.

just a side note, cultural shifts re-distributing your ratings are most definitely possible. They will however be small and slow.
Also, you're sequence breaking by going for FTL right now. Normally, you'd have preferably spent a few turns slowboating around.

Not really interested in redistributing, improving yes, redistributing no.
The way I see it sequence breaking is the entire point of a research focused face. You may not have many industry actions, but you can afford to spend two actions a turn sequence breaking your transportation capabilities.

Improving yourselves needs more R&D. And it shall be very difficult indeed.

Luckily "More R&D" is a good summation of Carmote problem solving procedure.

Technically no. The players I've found are just having various difficulties.

How would single transferable vote even work in a quest like this? Unless we allow the selection of more than one plan wouldn't it just be alternative vote? I suppose it might work if we had control of multiple species and made separate plan for each of them but could only pick one as our top choice.
On a related topic, I always seem to be the only person to make a plan. I think this has two causes: 1. Not very many players. 2. Not much disagreement on what we should do, simply what order we should do it in. The first will only be solved by additional voters. The second should decrease once we're out of our initial rebuilding phase. Basically, everyone agrees we need to rebuild and expand, but once we accomplish them we'll have more disagreement of what we should do, not just how we should do it. For example, should we hoard our tech and establish an empire, or give it out freely and rely on the goodwill to protect us. (Or any other alternative someone thinks of.)

Yeah.. I'll just stick with normal voting for the most part then.
