Is there a particular reason why hydro plants aren’t allowed to be built on coastal areas without rivers?

Because hydro plants work by exploiting potential differences and there aren't any to be had on a flat surface of water.

Ok. Fair enough. I was considering that tidal forces could be used as alternate source of hydroelectric power.

That Would be a generic renewable energy plant

[ApplePieistan]

The IP from gothic. Is that per turn?

Can you pay off a 10 IP cost over a series of turns?

Yes and Yes.

I better do some editing then.

[Holy Tedalonia]

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?

25, 34, 4, 24, 26, 12, 15 and 28 and 14 are taken

If you didn'T scan for a spot, let me know and I'll roll one for you.

I didn't scan

[Novas Arcanum]

I added a infirmary since I didn't need to break into the armory

[Olthenia]

Oh dear. I appear to have lost out on the proverbial loot rush. Where does that leave me?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh dear. I appear to have lost out on the proverbial loot rush. Where does that leave me?

Thar still do be plenty of normally-visible good stuff. Much of the explorations ended up being time-inefficient, really.

Inefficient, eh? Well then. I'll just skip all that and get to posting in the IC, shall I?

Oh? Well then. I'll just hop right off and post in the IC, shall I?

Sounds like a plan to me

[Plzen]

Sorry for not getting an IC post up today. Life happened. Probably won't be able to post tomorrow either.

So, with that in mind, 1st Five Year Plan.

The only thing I see offhand, Plzen, is the Habitation Pod. I don’t believe we start with one, offhand?

[Cainesland]

- Disassemble hydroponics - 3 Minute, followers, Claimed colony pod - Adds a hydroponics facility to your colony pod.

- Awaken Someone - 1 Minute (Max 1 per faction) - Find someone you need... or want... or just remember from earth and want to make sure they make it out. Adds a "2nd leader" or important person to your faction. He/She may provide
+1 Harmony (Doctor/Artist/Writer) OR
+1 Melee attack (Soldier/Officer) OR
+1 Energy (Engineer/Scientist) to the base/military unit he/she is stationed at.

- Claim Colony Pod - 1 Minute (Max 1 per faction), followers - Secure a colony pod for your faction. Each colony pod has room for 10 items. Anything you collect, including your population, but not yourself or other individuals counts as a single item.

- Recruit followers (2) - 1 Minute + 1 Minute for each population already following - Convince the rabble to follow your lead in evacuating the ship. The more people you already have behind you, the harder it is to reach out to new people. Adds population to your faction.

- Add terraforming unit - 2 Minute (Max 1 vehicle per faction), armed followers - Load a [i]Light Mechanized Electric Unarmed Terraforming Vehicle into your pod with a special thorium reactor subsystem that eliminates movement costs. When crewed, the terraforming unit may act as either 2 Laborers or 1 deep mine. (4 HP, 1 turn land move, unarmed)

- Secure Packaged food -
2 Minute
Gain a crate of preserved, nutritious food (contains 5 preserved food) for your pod.
NOTE: Food you produce will be impossible to store, this is a different type of food, keep it separate in your yearly reports.

- Secure Power cells -
2 Minute
Gain a single-use, high-capacity power cells (contains 10 Energy) for your pod.
NOTE: Energy you produce will be impossible to store until researching advanced tech, this is a different type of energy, keep it separate in your yearly reports.

- Loot medical supplies -
2 Minute, some followers
Adds an infirmary to your colony pod, which uses 1 energy to generate +2 Harmony. (Max 1 per faction)

- Arm population -
3 Minutes, some followers, broken armory
Add kinetic weapons +1 Supplies to ALL your followers. Note that both the weapons and the supplies will count as items on your pod.

- Scan planet for landing site -
1 Minute + 2 minute per resource on landing site
Allows claiming a landing spot. High-resource sites cost more time to find.

Am I correct that you need to gather followers prior to taking an action that requires followers? The same with arming then?

So you need to gather followers prior to grabbing hydroponics and arm them prior to taking the rover?

Yes. I think so. The list I provided was jumbled up in terms of turn precedence. It was based on the visible options, and what I thought would be the best if survival was the basis for decision making.

[Ralnis]

I'm still here, just trying to see if I can get a satellite dish and start broadcasting my surrender to G-Tech or the Manifold race.

[Harkback Union]

Wow... Apple... So cold...

I should mention that harmony is calculated for each base. To avoid strikes, you can try moving them to another location and start colonizing. Of course, you will have to supply the colonists with food from your home base, which I'm not 100% sure on how its supposed to work.

I would imagine you would need to have roads in between the two settlements, or just have 1 population used to transport the goods (and so likely to get eaten by the local wildlife and other nasties).

*Imagines Apple holding a whip behind Harkback as he toils away working*

I could do better...

[G-Tech Corporation]

It is probably worth noting, Apple, that the Secret Police HQ requires Clandestine Operations.

[Labstoska]

Muhahaha I am the I only one to have gotten industrial machinery so far, for once I have done something competent.

[The Grim Reaper]

For those of us who armed our populations on Harmony, are the weapons we got there the makeshift weapons mentioned in the unit build tab?

i.e. we'd need BP to arm them? Is just having the weapons enough vis a vis protecting our selves from native flora and fauna or do we need built units?

What I'm getting at, I guess, is a) what exactly were the Harmony weapons in mechanical terms, and b) based on that, would the reasonable assumption be "our population have no hope of using this in self-defense without training" or "they'd not manage in combat but I guess they could hold their own against like angry plants"

You have the weapons in store and you can, at any time, mobilize population by arming them with the weapons. It takes 1 turn to do so, they are ready to fight by the end of the turn.

So did I not need to waste 0.5 BP for a trooper core design?
