In this case, it's referring to the dice put into the action by people who used the raise the shield action without us actually needing the shield raised before that point.

Which, as it turns out, was a good decision. Keep maintaining our shield Hearts! Admittedly we also need you to worship the worm (a task I as a growth tree can no longer really justify doing) and extend the forest's reach, but fortunately I'm pretty sure there's enough of you to do all 3!

If you're a Growth tree, then would you be willing to swap to Growing Tranquil Trees so I can swap to Sacrifice to the Worm?

Growing the forest is a never-ending enterprise*. Collector trees help with that, and would also help with growing Elder Trees.

Plus, if all focuses are growth, they just get more effective at higher magnitudes as we get more focuses. Collector trees are great.

*Until we reach the forestgrowing victory condition anyway.

Except we already have a bunch of them and they're taking up more than a third of our limited slots. They will still be taking up nearly a third at mag 4 even if we don't grow any more, leaving us with an almost useless bonus because there's no room to actually use it and the extra successes won't make a significant difference in reaching mag 5. Not that it won't help, just not enough to be worth more. Plus as we finish more projects we'll have an ever increasing backlog of interesting trees we have no room for.

I don't really disagree with your point here. I would also prefer to build all the shiny new trees we research above most other trees.

Mostly, the position I was approaching this from is that the slots will get filled one way or another, before we unlock most of those shiny trees, because of riot votes. I even doubt if we will manage to get plasma or laser trees in on Mag4

If I have a choice in the matter, I would prefer they be filled with Collector Trees rather than Empty trees, since at least collectors help with expanding capacity.

I am using Empty Trees as a shorthand here, because Root Trees have shown the capability to rapidly fill up special tree space with a bunch of trees that are not shiny new trees, a capability that will only be strengthened by the scoop trees.

Or perhaps the voting quest public will disprove my cynicism. That would also be nice. A nice thought is growth votes getting rerouted into elder trees for the most part. That could also work wonders.

Could we eat a star? Turn ourselves into a Dyson Forest? Maybe not this star since it seems to have some weird shit going on but another one nobody is using. That would probably do wonders for our growth.

Alright! FINE! Let's be inefficient then.

Damn Mind Tree's are the enemy of all Root Trees, as are the Ingaba, and Worm Cult, and the Growth Trees, and those dirty Root Trees! Damn Root Trees are ruining Root Trees!

I tentatively think that's enough people on the wormhole now. We are almost certain to get it. Further mind trees can research other things now. Like lasers.

[X][Action] Ask the Research Base about establishing a deeper psychic link

An extra 1-2% towards Magnitude 4, or potentially important knowledge regarding our trading partners?
I know which one I'm spending my turn on.

I'm a bit concerned myself, if something comes out of the wormhole that's hostile I'd like to at least make it regret attempting to take a bit out off us. That's why I've kept stocking the shard valley reserves, it's our only real option to deal any sort of damage at the moment.

Were kind of like a punching bag right now, sure we can eat some hit's with the shield, and if they get passed that our reserves are impressive... but that's not the issue at hand.
With the shard valley we become akin to a porcupine that bloodies whoever sink's their teeth in us, instead of a clam that reward's whoever cracks us open.

Hm. Based on ham's analysis last page, with the two new voters on wormholes I can switch off from wormhole research and leave it at >90% completion chance, and change over to Twist power research (0/10) boosting it from 7 to 11 dice.

I believe I shall do that.

Would have joined in on the soothe action but despite being a psychic action, it's not filed under comms... vexing.
