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

[Cainesland]

The Governor of The Sauria Tsardom has built the first Heavy Industrial plant on turn 16. This freed up 2 workers but Industrial output stagnates at 1BP / quarter due to metal shortages. There is also a significant stockpile of food.

Now, there are several options ahead before research can begin.
Focus the population on researching the 1 RP missing for Desponea geology, then built petrol extractors and a petrol plant to generate 3-6 energy per quarter.
Build a dam to generate 3 Energy.

Assuming that the goal is to get a research facility up asap.

Would it be wise to construct an additional mine?

Probably. They're cheap as sin. I'll have to build another one myself soon.

[Harkback Union]

Yes, however, for optimal production, a new energy source would be required along with the mine.

Perhaps a mine could be built so that I can make 2 Bp instead of 1, and then build a dam? Or vice Versa.While the remaining population currently out of work (if there is any) could be focused on researching the last rp for desponea. What do you think of that plan harkback?

I almost forgot, manpower is running low. Currently, only 2 workers could be made available as one is on strike and 7 are employed by existing facilities. Meanwhile, Happiness is at -17 and health is at -5. Improving health and happiness may open up the path for population growth. Its not possible to increase BP output to 2 at this time. Although, investing in technology could upen up Industrial automation techniques which would massively cut back on manpower needs in the industry.

Shall I put up a new year Hark? Or do you have something planned out for it?

[Harkback Union]

Shall I put up a new year Hark? Or do you have something planned out for it?

As a matter of fact I do.

But you can go ahead and do your turns, the new developments will have no near-term effects.

Ah, I was just going to ask if you wanted to put up the Year 7 post, or if you didn't care if I did. I'd like that to be up before I start the next two Quarters

All right, there you go. Onto Year 7!

Aliens, oh noes.

[Harkback Union]

Hey everyone, how about we "reboot" this RP?
What I'm talking about is a new OOC thread. I think many potential applicants are frightened away by the 40 page OOC.
Everything else would otherwise stays the same.

That might be a wise idea. I do find long OOCs scare folks off.

Just don't put Reboot in the title- that almost never works out.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. I'm also thinking about giving the thread a different name and hiding to rulebook on the IC so that people who already looked at the thread will look at it again and so that they won't find out about the mechanics part until the time they've already signed up...
...and its already too late to turn back.

Mwaahaaaha!

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hah, good plan. Then they won't be scared off by mechanics.

[Harkback Union]

Hah, good plan. Then they won't be scared off by mechanics.

All right, but I also want to change the OOC OP so people get a clue on what's happened on the IC so far.
Would anyone be intered in writing it up?

"Following the disastrous mutiny aboard the Harmony and the systems malfunction which precipitated the breakup of the ship, the colony pods of the mission have made their way to the distant world and landed. It is a harsh world, full of danger and deprivation, but man's resilience has seen him flourish in many sundered cities. Disunited politically and unable to contact each other or the missing colony pod, the colonists work to reestablish civilization of the wild planet of Desponea."

That will be perfect!

I think at this point it sounds wiser to invest in health and happiness. Or secret police. But I'd prefer the former. Would Terran forests help?

Edit: out of curiosity which path would my philanthropist governor recommend? H & H or automation?

H&H, of course. That's the main goal of the Philantropist. Also, H&H will help you increase your population.

Automation will take research, but you can boost Happiness fairly easily with a Light Factory.

Indeed, but the light factory will soak up manpower while building housing and service facilities will not.

Oh, yes. If you don't have housing, definitely build that first!

Missing out on 2 right now.
Perhaps a suburbs would be real nice addition. +4 Happiness for 1 E basically.
Of course, The massive wealth costs stand in the way.

Isn't it +1 Happiness per Suburb? Or is it per Pop?

It basically says: no unhappiness from people living here.
If you got 2 guys living there, you eliminate 2 unhappiness (or 4 if they came from the street).

YAY! Post 1000.
