Huh. How is Extract 1 PP for you Ralnis?

Discworld Physcis reduces it by one plus I did Industrialization which reduces it by one.

Oh, cool. I didn't know Physics reduced it.

Yeah, it does, I think, Hark might be changing it though but who knows.

[The Orson Empire]

Not the foggiest. Can one of the colonies answer that?

You start off with 1000 Colonists, one Colony Module at 10 power, 1 shuttle with no fee to use and that is it. I can loan you some cash if you want. After i have my military set up I will be golden.

Wait- we don't start off with any money?

[Bentus]

Wait- we don't start off with any money?

Right at the start the colonies didn't, they had to mine and ship stuff to earth in order to make a buck - although they had all the resources they needed to start mining from the get go.

I'd say considering you'd be starting late you'd get some additional help though. Not to sure what - cash or supplies?

He'll probably start out with a few hundred BC so he can buy up some neat stuff to get him on a good footing. Perhaps a new expedition sent with more backing now that the Discworld is known to be profitable?

Oh, by the by Bentus, I'd love if some Changelings could bum a ride off you to said Discworld. They'll pay, of course.

[Harkback Union]

Yeah, I was going to change it but never mind now, You can keep your bonus for extract cards, but I'm going to make fabricate more expenive!

[Harkback Union]

Seeing as I am a new colony, would I start at turn 1 or something else?

And it says under buildings that workers can turn their action points into build points. How do we gain these points? Better yet, what are action points?

Just bumping in, the Shuttle and the Freighter have 2 AP (action points) per week which are basically how many things they can 'do'. Although you have to pay maintenance for every spent action point, 1 credit per AP for the Shuttle and 2 credit per AP for the Freighter.

I just think of action points as 'movement points' and build points as things needed to build something :3

Also, I've got a freighter sitting around twiddling its thumbs. Anyone up for a trade?

Shuttles and freighters have 1 AP, but they can get "free APs" when docking with trade ports (the AP they use to load unload cargo)... that may have made things confusing.

[Harkback Union]

The game mechanics section will get 20% longer to today and 50% more awesome.
Also, I'm planning on offering civilized natives the chance to play like regular colonies to make things more balanced.

[Harkback Union]

Ah, hmm. Are you thinking of apping as Natives or a colony?

A colony.

Here is the offer:
Your colony would start in turn 22 with 50 billion Credits, a shuttle loaded with a colony center, 1000 colonists and a unit of conventional infantry. You can also get 3 alloys for free from china if you are willing to replace 200 american colonists in your shuttle with chinese ones (the alloys would be delivered via a chinese rocket.

Note: you will have to pay 2 billion Credits per turn to maintain the conventional infantry until you have a barracks module while your shuttle fuel will be provided freely by NAAFTA until turn 30

[Harkback Union]

Grrr... I can see that much some of you started using 2 APs per turn for the freighters and shuttles.
Remember: Space ports only make loading/unloading cargo free, not landing and takeoff.
If things are too confusing, just create a trade route.

Sweetness. Time for moar techs. What do Ecology and Physics actually do?

So we'd get like a backer?

Oops :3
Could you run down with the trade routes again? I remember it was 1 resource per turn for the shuttle, but do we have to pay to maintain it? And does it change for freighters?

[Harkback Union]

NOTE!
The price of some cards/structures changed.
Cards you have played/Buildings you have built so far are not affected (they are still valid).
More update to the Game mechanics section coming soon, If you don't like reading it, you can always TELEGRAM me questions, otherwise I might miss them.

Also, feel free to move the game along until turn 28

Well that was major... AND SCREW SELLING THAT ONE BUILDING TO WEALTHY PEOPLE CAPITALISTS! WORKERS UNITE!

Also can you more explain the reactor's build cost?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hmm, you may want to nerf Extract Hark, since Dig went up. Also, Deep Mines should be more expensive.

What do Discworld Physics/Geology/Ecology do?

[The Orson Empire]

A colony.

Here is the offer:

I accept the offer.

But wait a second- 2 billion credits per turn for infantry? How much infantry do I have, a full army?!

Director Bio (short): Director Kole was born in 2022 in New York City. From an early age, he had a very keen interest in outer space and technologies related to it. He went on to graduate from college with a degree in aerospace engineering and physics, and went on to work for a private space company. He helped establish the international lunar colony. Eventually, after the anomaly was discovered, he was selected by NAAFTA to build another colony on the volcanic moon that was in orbit around the disk.

Just a heads-up. There's already a NAAFTA colony on the volcanic moon I think, although I wouldn't be surprised to see some competition between megacorp backers etc etc, just wanted to let you know

Also, re the infantry. If you don't like paying the maintenance, you COULD sell it to earth at the elevator for a pretty penny. Although you'd be vulnerable to anyone who decides to go all WAAAGHHH!!! on you.

Still having internet difficulties wiped my original post.

As a matter of fact we are planning to work together. I am covering the tab of the military units for now and will help along the colony. From an IC standpoint i was going to move onto the Uranium no matter what but if Orson does it then NAAFTA will be better off. Besides I offered to allow us to build on each others land and share energy and what not. Just will watch to make sure he doesn't suck up all the power. My two mech units and conventional infitary will help.

This is correct.

Working together will be better in the long run than competing against one another, and it will earn more profits for NAAFTA, our mother country.

Cool. What region of the lava mass will you be landing on?

I have a presence everywhere on the moon, by the by.
