So does our PMC only have Imperial Guard lvl of gear and weapons?

Your PMC will, barring a moderately bad random event or over hiring, be at [PDF] levels unless you or until you go through the (fairly sizeable) effort of upgrading your PMC. The gangers will be considered [Green] due to lack of training, poor quality gear, and low-ish moral

    I was thinking a 3/3 split on production lines and walls, we only have those tarantula turrets till turn 4, so that leaves 3 turns for 250 progress.

    We do get +20 every roll we do because of genius so it's not that bad and we have many industries roll, like if we put 3 dices in productions that you say we get a +60 bonus only on our perk, so 3d100+60 we can complete this is 1 turn if we are lucky

    • You look out the windows of your quarters and see the construction that's ongoing down in the Manufactorum and sigh, as while there has been progress turning it into something other than a rust heap, it's still not much better than you found it. 1 of the workers quarters was finished and another 2/3rds of the way done, allowing you to house all of your important workers. A warehouse was also completed which gives you enough space to store all your remaining materials, but for some reason you just cannot comprehend all the work on the second was completed... except the doors. Like, the menials built every but the door on the building and didn't seem to notice until you ordered unpaid overtime to put them in. You also see the maintenance building slowly being constructed. If you didn't know the cogboys temperament (or, you know, actually cared) the progress would have been basically non existent.

    But your head maid has brought you the report on the workers moods and it looks about standard for the peasantry

    But now onto the big question for this half year, how much are you paying your workers?

    Vote for 1 Wage type

    [][Pay] Minimal Wage: You won't spend a single throne you don't have to on these plebs.
    [Menials]: .25 Thrones per shift
    [Skilled]: .5 Thrones per shift
    [Security]: 1 Throne per shift
    [Personal]: 2 Thrones per shift
    -1 loyalty level for all shift types

    [][Pay] Standard Wage: The standard wage for your workers.
    [Menials]: .5 Thrones per shift
    [Skilled]: 1 Throne per shift
    [Security]: 2 Thrones per shift
    [Personal]: 4 Thrones per shift
    No change in loyalty level

    [][Pay] Good Wage: A wage most workers in the upper hives would never get.
    [Menials]: 2 Thrones per shift
    [Skilled]: 4 Throne per shift
    [Security]: 8 Thrones per shift
    [Personal]: 16 Thrones per shift
    +1 loyalty level for all shift types
    Low possibility of negative Noble reaction

    [][Pay] Danger Pay: An unimageable amount of money to spend on mere workers, but they aren't likely to be able to spend it down here for a long time so...
    [Menials]: 4 Thrones per shift
    [Skilled]: 8 Throne per shift
    [Security]: 16 Thrones per shift
    [Personal]: 32 Thrones per shift
    +3 loyalty level for all shift types
    Moderate possibility of negative Noble reaction

    Think this is the one we should go with, and later we can set things up so that they have things to spend money on, there by making the money back, also in real terms this is still nothing to a noble

    [X] Plan: lets make money
    -[X]Repair the Decrepit Production lines (Phase 1/4) 4 die
    -[X]Repair the Crumbling Workers Quarters(Phase 2/2) 2 die
    -[X]Construct a small maintenance workshop 2 die
    -[X]Worker safety: How many times are they stopping work because of accidents?

    Seems like a good idea to do Production lines and Worker safety at the same time, and we need some Production lines to start making things to sell or do we need Vox Tower to sell the things we make?

    Seem that we can go two path either keep throwing low pay menials at the problem until we resolve said problem or get high paid menials that are very effective. Just for the role play aspects of 40k I'm going with quantity over quality

    For me, it would be best to pay them a lot as there are gonna need a way to use that money, and we can set up a few business to take care of that need, or might lure someone to set up those business as they hear how much those menials are getting paid, and we can tax them
     
    Plan: lets make money dice breakdown

    Industry (+20 per die)
    Decrepit Lines
    4d + 80/150
    -400 bmats
    Crumbling Workers Quarters
    2d + 40/100
    -200 bmats

    Stewardship (+20 per die)
    Small Maintenance Workshop
    2d + 172(132+40)/200
    -200 bmats
    -100 bmats per turn if complete

    Things to note:
    2 unused Intrigue dice

    Let me know if i missed anything or if something needs to be added.
     
    Just asking how much thrones do we have?

    I am fine with good wage but I am not sure about the danger pay cause I dont want to accidentally get bankrupt early on, there is a moderate chance for nobles hating us if we pick danger pay, and our family might put on profit quota's or something which might make it hard to accomplish.
