So what is everyone's long term goals for their parties? I know what the radicals want and I simply want more prominent bio/organic tech but what does everyone else want?

The goal is to raise the standard of living. The stumbling block is ensuring that the improved standard of living is not hoarded by the few against the many. The party has a heavy emphasis on the cost of trying to achieve this goal. It tries to accurately measure the price of improvement so that expectations can be kept realistic.

Improving the Forge World can turn into improving the sector. As the higher education standard allows for more tech-priests and consequently justifies sending them out on expeditions and the like to further spread the impact of their ideology.

Turn 1- year 720M41 Election results- The first steps of Sidonia
  • Threadmarks

    • The First Forgecity of Sidonia- Hybernia (but you know .... bigger)

    ​
    The inaugural election of the Sidonia Forgeworld – specifically its sole forge complex – proceeded flawlessly. The week-long consecration of the voting apparatus, coupled with the maintenance of the Noosphere infrastructure, enabled the busy Magi to cast votes from their workshops or while overseeing the burgeoning industries of the molten planet.

    Remarkably, voter turnout was exceptionally high, reaching the mid-90s percentage-wise, much to the Data-smiths' dismay. Thus, the first democratic exercise since the Pact of Mars concluded smoothly, marking the end of the straightforward phase.

    With 24 percent of the popular vote, the Holy Machine Faction appeared poised for a decisive victory. However, it struggled to garner support from other parties to surpass the 50% threshold. Similarly, the second-place Seeker of the Omnissiah party, known for its divisive rhetoric, failed to form a coalition. Behind the scenes, streams of binary code screeched incessantly, as overworked Logi members calculated electoral coefficients and party affiliates engaged in surreptitious dealings.

    Ultimately, through strenuous efforts, the first elected government of the forgeworld was established. Surprisingly, the Humanist Party emerged victorious, having adeptly corralled the necessary support to form a barely majority coalition government with 51% of the vote.

    Internal coalition dynamics were tumultuous, with conflicting interests threatening its stability. However, cooler heads prevailed, and in the year 720M41, Genetor Gwahr van Sapax ascended to the rank of Fabricator General.

    His first directive involved the comprehensive scanning of the system's asteroid field. This task was arduous, as the arrival ship had been repurposed into the foundational structure of the hive. Consequently, thousands of modified Arvus Light landers, previously used for supply transport, were reassigned to survey duties.

    The findings were striking: vast deposits of Adamantium, Bauxanium, Duralium, Enderrium, and Fascium, along with lesser amounts of Kultrinium, Lithicarium, Trans-sulphur, and Transuranium, plus abundant quantities of more common materials.

    [For the Fabricator General's eyes only]
    Prospectors uncovered significant reserves of Noctilith, Aeldari Wraithbone, and other rare materials typically found in the cores of super-massive supernovas. Further research is warranted.

    In his second year, the Fabricator General was convinced to enhance the forge city's modest production capabilities. Large Ferrocrete refineries were established, utilizing the abundant iron in the soil, thereby bypassing the inferior rockcrete unsuitable for Sidonia's extreme heat. Vast manufactorums for Plascrete production and ore refining were also constructed, preparing for future mining operations. Most of these industries were dedicated to supporting the expansion of the Forge City, rather than export.

    In his fourth year, Genetor initiated the construction of several biodomes on the forest moon (now named Siaria by the Menial workers). These served dual purposes: reducing reliance on interstellar food shipments and providing a base for the planet's Genetors. The construction proceeded smoothly, though reports of strange creatures in the deep forests and injuries among the Servitor workforce suggested hidden dangers.

    The Cult of Sollex, specialists in the sacred photon, enthusiastically assumed the management of lighting for optimal food production on the forest moon.

    By the sixth year, mining operations commenced. Massive iron tubes were used to channel the planet's lava into gigantic sieves, extracting valuable minerals from the molten rock. While the surface magma yielded plenty of essential, though less glamorous, materials like Iron, Lead, and Copper, the rarer elements continued to be imported.

    In his final year, the Fabricator General launched a beautification project. Light posts and other illuminating devices were installed, garnering admiration from the Cult of Sollex. This initiative not only enhanced the forgeworld's nocturnal visibility but also deterred mutants from venturing out of the few remaining shadowed areas, thereby reducing casualties among the working Menials and Servitors.
    Thus concluded the Fabricator General's tenure, but the opposition parties remained active throughout.

    The Holy Machine Party, having received the highest vote count, convened a conference to share their vision for the forgeworld's future, including completing the hive spire, an orbital elevator, and expanding urban infrastructure. Their presentations were accompanied by a
    flood of binary data in the Noosphere, detailing plans, required materials, workforce allocations, efficiency charts, and extensive technical manuals to persuade their audience.

    The United Party, though smaller in size, dedicated its efforts to humanitarian causes. A team comprising Lay Biologis adepts, Metasurgeons, Biologis Neuralis, Genetor Extremis, Grand Parasites, and Corpus Illuminators roamed the Hab-blocks, significantly improving the lives of common menials. Their interventions enabled many to resume work swiftly.

    The Luminen of the Forsaken Calculus embarked on establishing several places of worship within the forge city. These temples quickly filled with devout Magi and hopeful apprentices eager to attract the attention of passing Magi.

    In these temples, the Faithful of the Omnissiah delivered impassioned sermons that spurred the populace to extra shifts and a fearless embrace of death, knowing that in demise they would still serve the Omnissiah as servitors or servo-skulls. This led to increased productivity in some manufactorums and a rise in the servo-skull population.

    The Steel Cult and the Warriors of the Machine God joined forces to bolster support for the forgeworld's military industries. Reports of enemies of the Machine God on Siaria provided a fertile ground for their campaign. Adsecularis, Skitarii, and Magus Dominus rallied in support of a military intervention on the moon and the commencement of weapon manufacturing for both local use and export to the wider Imperium.
    As the Fabricator General's term concluded, these diverse activities and initiatives collectively heralded a new era for the Sidonia Forgeworld, signaling both challenges and opportunities ahead

    quick warning, please try to keep coalition allowances to 4 parties (you +4) trying to piece together a coalition was a mess

  • Informational
    • We have actual manufacturing now which is good but need more, also need more work on raw materials and food. Food imports had a small change on corpse starch from low to very low, raw material import dropped to medium from all. So for this coming turn more food production, raw mats exploitation and manufacturing
     
    Seems like we are off to a good start and none of the radicals have caused a demonic incursion yet so that is also good.

    The vote for my party will be out in a little bit.
     
    Well, I need to be more careful with how I work with. And its good to have some things set up.
     
    my plan will be up in a minute, but I'm offering to make a Coalition with anyone who wants to focus on building up our foundations I highlighted the issues in what I think is important

    Terrors in the forest - We dont have a good way to deal with this and it is moderate low priority
    Infrastructure Hunger -We need more production to speed up every other project we want to do
    Orbital lift - the system has a lot of resources, we just need a good way to get to them and a lift would be a good
    Hab-block shortages -Without shelter, the losses to menials would be too great and slow down production and construction
    Places of learning -We need to build a research lab around the Pandora device and begin teaching it's knowledge to others of the cult, and maybe set a up a place to groom new priest and enginseers

    For Terrors in the forest, we could start some production of "Skitarii to hunt the terrors in the forest", gets bettering of the army started and sets the army to reducing that problem.


    @Magus Explorator
    In our new plan, should we repeat unchanged things like who the party represents and ideology, or just name (to recognize the party) and the stuff assumed to be changing each turn (actions, outreach, coalition)?

    [X] Plan: The Work Continues
    - [X] Party: Seekers of the Omnissiah
    - [X] Party represents: Chaff and radical tech priests, especially among the Magi
    - [X] Coalition: anyone willing to coalition with us
    - [X] 1: Construct housing for the chaff, these housing units shall not be shoddy base things, but truly livable and a place where people will be glad to live
    - [X] 2: Massively invest in education both for low level new members of the machine cult and for the Chaff and menials. Try and make sure the new educational programs have a more radical outlook, or failing that at least not a traditional one
    - [X] 3: Construct infrastructure across the system, both for extracting resources and for more civilian applications. Make sure that the chaff and menials are treated well in the work
    - [X] 4: Either eliminate or reduce laws against abhumans and mutants. Genetic variance is to be studied not purged
    - [X] 5: Heavily reduce restrictions on various forms of "tech heresy" and xenotech so as to lead to a greater understanding of the Omnissiah's works
    - [X] 6: Continue to push for greater social mobility, making it easier for low level mechanicus to rise and for the chaff and menials to become members of the cult
    - [X] Outreach: Our more learned members shall work to give sermons and lectures to teach the chaff and low level cult members. This shall both promote us as a party seeking to give education, and the "classes" will both have useful, practical aid and advice, pushes and advocacy of more radical thinking, and heavy reminders to vote for us


    I'd also love a list of parties and their ideology as rn I'm not really sure of them, and it would help alot with coalition proposals

    Speaking of if any party members have coalition ideas I'm all ears
     
    [X] Plan: Illuminated beginnings
    -[X] Party Name: Illuminated Mechanicus
    -[X] Party Represents: Magi, Logi
    -[X] Coalition:
    Coalition will be voted later, when there is a better idea who to work with.
    --[X] Yes: Cogs of Justice, Society of the Living Alloy, Holy Machine Faction, Humanists
    --[X] No: Seekers of the Omnissiah
    -[X] 1: Start construction of a fleet of mining ships to harvest the systems asteroid field.
    -[X] 2: Build facilities of learning to increase the effectiveness of all members of the Mechanicum.
    -[X] 3: Create an institution to act as a library storing lesson plans and documentation of rites (and similar things) to share between the facilities.
    -[X] 4: Construct more Hab blocks.
    -[X] 5: Construct more agri-complexes for Genetors to increase food independence.
    -[X] Outreach: Teach Chaff to help them ascend to higher positions.

    [X] Plan: Expand our Production and Homes
    -[X] Party Name: Holy Machine Faction
    -[X] Coalition: Name: Glory of the Omnissiah Goals: Build up our Forge world to create wonders
    --[X] Invited to Join:Illuminated Mechanicus, Sect of Holy Lighting Inspiration, Society of the Living Alloy, Cogs of Justice
    --[X] Not: Seekers of the Omnissiah
    -[X] 1: Begin building Hab Complexes. Even Tech Priest need a place to rest and do maintaince. The Habs will be connected to the exsisting Manufactorum and expand the current Hive upwards.
    -[X] 2: Build a full Shrine/Research temple for the Holy Pandora machine so we can worship and study this Holy Machine.
    -[X] 3: Begin construction of a Military equipment factory, Las weapons usable by Skiitari or Servitors(Heavy weapons). New weapons will be sent with Skiitari legions to be tested against enemies on the forest moon. This weapon complex will be guards by some Skiitari and be part of the planned Hive.
    -[X] 4: Scan the planet for resources to extract and to have a complete overview of it. That includes places of interest to plan our future expansion and construction while maximizing efficency and defensive capabilities.
    -[X] 5: Expand and build new mining complexes with results of the survey.
    -[X] Outreach: Hold an open conference where anyone who wants to can either show off any adjustments to the proposed weapons factory or the weapons it will produce. Rather than debate endlessly about Orthodoxy, we well debate improvements on weapons and its production for best cost, so if one Magos offers an upgrade that promises a 5% increase in power at a 20% increase in cost it will be rejected, but a 1% increase in efficiency with no real cost changes will be included. All accepted ideas will be prototyped out and if not conflicting mixed together so see what we can make. All costs will be taken from the Party's funds. Honestly, we hope to show these designs to Pandora to see if it triggers an even better design to be revealed to us(if it does, it will really justify our building a shrine to it)
