What was the ruling on pop growth in year 1?

Can do it, but have to wait a yeat before they can be put to work.

I don't know which I find funnier:
That the Harmony apparently had a significant number of pregnant women onboard, or the idea of 1 year olds to working with terraforming equipment.

Technically, you can argue that this 'growth' is from children on the ship... but... naaaa.

I was thinking about curbing population growth once every 5 years actually, but it would have probably upset some folks who already planned 25 turns ahead...

But yeah, we could actually say, at least early on, that you are finding other survivors who join your cause...

I can just imagine:
You are on the descending ship, people are panicking all around you. Luckily, you manage to find a leader to follow. A leader to bring you to safety. You are brought to the armory, and silently handed a gun and ammo. You hope you will not have to use it, but you will if you must. Your next destination, the loading bay. You had to fight to get to the steel crate containing the terraforming equipment, there may even be blood on your hands. But it was worth it. This equipment is supposed to be the best earth could build. Move sand, dirt, and water much more efficiently than with just your bare hands. Plus, unlike the bulldozers of past, they contain their own power source.
You watch as the leader fiddles with the lock, before shooting it open. Slowly the door swings ajar. And inside, plastic beach buckets and shovels.

Had to cut some corners to launch the Harmony on time. Also, plastic equipment weights less...

Wow...

Some things never change.

You're just on-time, I'm about to close the applications.

This is similar to the previous Last Colonies run, right?

We are colonists on a ship that left earth in 2070. A virus caused the ship to go off course. The ship crashed, and we are founding colonies. Our goal is to survive. There will likely be expansion, trading, and competition along the way.

Well...yeah. Weren't you there?

Anyway, I'll app if you guys don't mind me not including any flavor text. I don't really have time for that, unfortunately.

Most applications are quite short, as a matter of fact.

In my posts as well.

By the way, can you tell me which sites are claimed? I'm poking through the Prelude system at the moment(interestingly, someone actually bothered to S.O.S Earth).

Even more interestingly, a great number of the action reports don't add up. It seems either the rules regarding followers were changed or they are being fundamentally misunderstood. G-Tech, Novus Arcanum, Holy Teladonia, Labstoska, and Cainesland are all off, though for varying reasons.

25, 34, 4, 24, 26, 12, 15 and 28 I'm aware of,

Why am I off? 2 followers takes 3 turns to my knowledge.

[Holy Tedalonia]

Where am I located?

Your number system is different from everyone else's, but I believe the times denote when an action is started, right? If that's the case, I think it works out. I was looking at the time blocks before each action, not after. My apologies.

Also, I think only one person needs to break into the armory, and right now both Novus and Seno Zhou Varada have it in their action reports. Novus also has some other errors, I think, so at the moment nobody should be able to get into the armory before Seno cracks it open during minutes 9-11.

[G-Tech Corporation]

I was about to warn Seno about having -10 Harmony once the buff runs out and sparking a revolution... then I remember the Luxury Pod doesn’t have to worry about Slum maluses. What a good outcome!

Yes. It denotes the time when an action is started. 0:00 is 20 minutes till the ship crashes, and 0:20 represents the last minute before the ship crashes.

What other issues did I have? Also if I didn't have to break in the armory could I get one more item?

Technically, you need armed followers in order to get the Terraforming rover. So you can only get it after you actually recruit and arm some followers. This shouldn't really be a problem, since you just need to move stuff around so that you only arm yourself after Seno finishes breaking into the armory.

I'll arrange a chapter 0 post tommorow. How should I approach choosing a spot? Is their a list of which spots are already taken?
