The Last Colonies - Sci-fi TBS/RP - OOC / Always Open

[G-Tech Corporation]

Except for the ever-increasing BP costs of supporting that population and/or giving them something to do.

I know it makes maintaining the economy computer harder, but I don't like the road/monorail mechanics, in that it makes strategically spreading infrastructure around your empire like you'd have to do IRL completely pointless.

The penalty caps at 3 BP, its not ever increasing and there are several ways to partially go around it (I'm not giving any of you Ideas on how though). Initially, I wanted to charge transportation costs but then I remembered that the last time I did that the RP failed miserably due to its mind boggling complexity. Regardless, it still makes sense to spread around infrastructure. If you cramp all your energy production into one base and it gets rekt, your entire industry will be brought to a halt.

Ooh, really. Aside from stacking Windfarms on top of stuff?

Well, not in general but specifically in sun's case.

Habitation is the only thing Sun would have to build in his capital. With monorails, his people could go to base facilities elsewhere to work.

Ah, right, and I can copy his Project with the new slot Neural will unlock for me. And I have Supercolliders for Monorails. That sounds like fun.

And that's why I'm not giving the Utopia project potential for infinite health.

In fact I would prefer If sun built Aur's version which gives both health and happiness ignorance along with 10 housing but the bonus only applies to those housed inside.

Aww, you're going to ruin all my diabolical plans.

What exactly is Auricium's version?

All? Was this your only diabolical plan?

Aur's verions gives you 10 housing and everyone living within produce no unhappiness or unhealthiness or something like that.

Well, no, not the only. My other one revolves around Boreholes and Automated Heavy Industrial Plants.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh, Burning, would you be interested in trading Superconductors for Social Dynamics?

[Auricium]

Hey Gtech- metal for BP?

You didn't disappoint me then.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hey Gtech- metal for BP?

Depends- I could use more metal, but what ratio are we talking?

[Auricium]

Well, I would leave that up to you- my thoughts were 1 BP for 3 metal.

I want 3 BP by the way ^_^

[Harkback Union]

By the way, I'm up for Gov'noring again. Also, The rulebook is 95% done at this point.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Well, I would leave that up to you- my thoughts were 1 BP for 3 metal.

I want 3 BP by the way ^_^

Hmm, I was thinking more 5-6. Each point of BP costs 2 Happiness, 2 Food, 2 Metal, and about 2 E to produce. 3 Metal wouldn't quite cut it for me.

I could trade you 3 BP for 9 Metal and Desponea Hydrology though.

I'll take that deal-

also, in q2, can I give you 16 metal for 3 BP?

Well, ive already done q2. I could do that in q3 though.

[Auricium]

Oh sorry, I though today was q1 year 21.

I can only give metal, hydrology I get in q1 year 21.

I can take a 16 metal for 3 BP in q3, though ^_^

[Harkback Union]

People, all SPs need OP approval.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh sorry, I though today was q1 year 21.

I can only give metal, hydrology I get in q1 year 21.

Sure, we'll do that in q3 y20, and I can work it q1 y21 too.

[Auricium]

Yay!

[G-Tech Corporation]

So, I'll be offering cruise ship packages soon. Who wants to send tourists to visit the Great Fire Reef and the Straits of the Turquoise Sea?

[Pac Kindom]

Any one up for trading with me

[Auricium]

Well, what are you offering?

[Pac Kindom]

Well, what are you offering?

Tier 2 Desponea Hydrology, Materal Science, Geotechnical Engineering, Information Networks
Tier 3 Photovoltaic, Borehole Mining, Underwater construction

Or metal
