The New Dark Age: (A Fallout Albania Quest)

Unfortunately Fallout seems to have cheated their way past the limitations and costs of electrical vehicles and equipment by using bullshit super long lasting micro fusion reactors and power cells that we don't have, which is really hurting us now lmao.
 
The Americans invented fusion, you'd have to find the wreckage of a NATO battle group somewhere to get it. And especially those micro fusion cells.
 
Do we want to have an expert dedicate the time to learn how to speak greek so we have a translator that could allow for better diplomacy with the Greeks in the south?

One of the driving points of the great war, in fact, was that America refused to share Fusion with anyone. We'd need to specifically find an American battlegroup, not a NATO one
 
While Americas Fusion is extremely good and part of the tragic technologies that would have allowed for pretty much post-scarcity without the war I don't think finding some of them would be that useful for us at the moment.

Its extremely unlikely that they'll just have a manual explaining how to build the reactors so we would need to manually reverse engineer them, a difficult task for a pre-war nation nevermind us, where our highest scientific achievement is a productive wiki-binge.

If we find an American fusion reactor it's useful as a source of portable infinite energy but not much more
 
okay, so main issues right now are:
-protein
-non-fixed logistics
-fuel
-refugees

I'm definitely saying we arm the hunter teams better and just have them go to town because we need that meat, and we want to get better relations with Korce for better trade. What's our current trading looking like, and what would they want in exchange for even more meat and milk?

Fuel wise, we want to look into a proper refinery because the labor/output ratio and the use of an entire factory is fucking GARBAGE and basically unusable at this point.

Logistics wise, we could look at the trucks, but they're probably going to be a full turn project, and we still don't have the fuel to actually get them to the stuff we need moving, and we need something like that to move the refugees around.

@Dapperlad1 would it be possible for our engineers to make some fucking frankenstein coal powered cargo platform for us to move industrial equipment and refugees from the cannibal city or is that silly and too fuel hungry

EDIT: or if the engine on the electric car is powerful enough we could strip down the frame as much as we safely can and hook up a wagon to it to carry more people. what sort of lore/physics are we running with on electric engines by the way in terms of actual power output and battery tech. i've heard conflcting stuff on this and i've always been a fan of the 'weaker in terms of overall engine power' theory even if the science says they're apparently absurdly powerful and durable compared to combustion engines or something. not that it matters in our case because that car's engine is probably trash lol

That's called a train. You can make a train, if its on rotating tracks instead of railway tracks it will experience significant mechanical stress, but it can work.

Electric engines lack torque. Whilst Fallout batteries are good, they are still not as excellent a container of power as gasoline or diesel fuel. At least not the ones you have access to. Lacking torque means struggling to pull heavier things. The same size diesel or coal or gasoline engine will be able to bear a greater weight. I'm not an automotive engineer but I think its 2.4x difference between an equally sized electric engine and a diesel engine?
 
It's not a train, comrade, it's an uhhhhh GLORIOUS REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE'S STEAM TRANSPORT.

Okay, so the options we got right now in general are:
1. pray bikes work
2. try to fix the trucks
3. crash build some wagons and see if we can find something to pull it
4. if you can't walk you die lmfao
5. GLORIOUS REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE'S STEAM TRANSPORT

oh so it is torque, i think what i've read is that they have better acceleration or something. thanks for clearing that up!
 
Logistics wise, we could look at the trucks, but they're probably going to be a full turn project, and we still don't have the fuel to actually get them to the stuff we need moving, and we need something like that to move the refugees around.

The distance from Kavicaci to Fier is around 80 km. If the Fugon goes at 40 km/h we can do 2 round trips with 30 min for passenger embarking and disembarking each.

That means that we could transport 500 refugees in one month, 15 days if we use Albanian seating arrangements
 
Total speed is likely lower than that, sadly the road to Fier from Kalivaci is likely in poor condition at best if even intact at all. Expect 20km/h at best.
 
Total speed is likely lower than that, sadly the road to Fier from Kalivaci is likely in poor condition at best if even intact at all. Expect 20km/h at best.

I am planning on repairing/building that connection this turn.

Still even with 20 km/h we will be able to transport 500 refugees in 2 months normally, 1 month with cramping them in.


I am very weary of trying to strip down the Fugon or other heavy modifications. We do not have expert car mechanics or the design of the car and losing the car would be a heavy blow.



There is no real question that the best way to transport the heavy machinery would be a boat. A barge is just so efficient when it comes moving stuff compared to everything else except sea ships.

The problem is of course that we don't have the metal to build one unless we suspend/unspecialise Industrial Equipment production and use our last free slot on it.

I am tempted to give up on raiding Industrial Equipment this turn if we don't build a boat. The only other alternative we have would be Deathclaw transport and Dapper mentioned that such a transport would damage the equipment.

There is only a limited supply to loot, giving up on some equipment now would mean that we will get more intact equipment later.



For general logistics I don't think there is an alternative to getting some kind of draft animal. Germany still used some animal power for logistics in World War 2, maintaining a fully motorised logistics system is expensive for our industrial level

--[X] Write-in



Second version of my draft plan with a bit more meat and a rough distribution of workers. Feel free to suggest stuff we should do or even written actions.

Does anyone have a personal action you believe is urgent?
 
- Investigate the possiblitiy of including the archive in the teaching of our children, familiarising them with the wisdom of our forebearers and slowly chipping away at the herculean task of catalouging the archive with small projects

So I had a discussion with Dapper, and he said that the information is stored in such a weird way (paraphrasing it excessively) it would be unrealistic to expect results. What we'd need to do is find an old Russian base, and see about salvaging one of their computers, reengineering it, and use that to;
A. Upgrade the system
B. Use it to make a Hello World search program.

Though this doesn't mean we shouldn't institute this aspect to the curriculum, as it would bring further education amongst the people. Just want to make you aware of the effectiveness of it. Plan looks good so far.

[X] Personal Action
-[X] invite the Minister of State Security to a private meeting. Ask how they liked the gift (the peestol we sent), or if they received it at all should a new minister be present. Ask what the comms blackout was about & what sort of threats we face: Yugoslavs, Greeks, Italians, other Albanians, etc. If we can inquire about the PARTY non-seditiously such as their history & such, do so as well. Should they provide information, agree to their proposal for arming a squad of their ranks & sending them as forward operators in Fier, while asking for assistance once again with translation training efforts.









This is my plan. While i am of course always open to change if someone wants sees something that is sub optimal this is now fully functional, with distributed workers and all actions in the plan, though some (especially red) could get some elaboration

Do we know if the laborers will be safe from possible cannibal attacks or should we order the army to guard them while they work?

I think guarding the labourers while they work is not that expensive and it would allow for the army to get familiar with their supply line, so ill definitly include it in the plan, great thinking

[X] Plan All Roads lead to Gjirokaster

@Dapperlad1 hmmm, some questions:
-was there any research done into bio-fuel solutions before the end of the world (new crops like the tarberries from GDI quest, genetically modified bacteria that can perform the process more efficiently, etc.) that Albania would've potentially been privy to?
-forgive me if this was answered, but how well armed are the cannibals?

Not in Albania as far as you are aware.

The cannibal do not seem to have mastered the arts of gunpowder
 
I just realised that with 2 turns of specialised Construction Equipment we have 2 of them this turn.

Do we want to spend the second equipment on a Radio Tower in Kavici or more metal extraction expansion?
