Orders for turnchat 2249-2256, 15/2/2003, 2200 GMT

[Maniac]

Everything the same as the last chat: #smacdg, apolyton server, etc.

I presume so at least. Please correct me if i'm wrong GT.

Jedinica Vrijstaat orders, MY 2249 onwards

Question to the Commissioner

GT, are my general orders for several of the formers ok, or do I still need to give detailed tile-per-tile soil enricher per soil enricher orders?

Formers

Let all formers (six, with two more to be built in Valhalla) around Concordia and Valhalla first finish their current task (borehole and forest) and then plant soil enrichers on all four farmed tiles in that area. If finished, move on to construct soil enrichers on all farms near Pandemonium.

Let all four formers on (13.65) S-SE of ShSw construct soil enrichers on the farms around Sheathed Sword. If finished, move on to the farms near Pandemonium.

-help the four above formers with enriching the soil of the farms around Sheathed Sword and Pandemonium.

Any sea former

Just build kelp farms and tidal harnesses in the base radius of the base supporting the sea former.

Thanks!

[Method]

can you pop a hybrid forest in right before the hospitals in sheathed sword and pandemonium?

[Maniac]

Well I didn't consider them critical in those bases as they don't have many forests in their radius. But if you insist...

[Cedayon]

Preliminary Orders for Akiria, 2249-

Requests to the DIA
Upgrade requests as follows:

upgrade all Akirian formers to super formers design (0-1-1 super, NOT the one with armour on it, but a new, armourless model with a FISSION reactor to save 10 mins a piece)

There are 6 Akiria-supported formers and 3 other formers (iirc) under my command, for 9 total, each of which will cost 30 ec to upgrade as above, for a grand total of 270ecs in upgrades.

Rush requests as follows:

Format of rush costs:
Cost for no carryover (Cost for 10 mineral carryover)

Requested immediately (in order of priority):
- Tree Farm in Cyclops in 1 turn for 134ec (154ec)
- Tree Farm in Twin Peaks in 1 turn for 106ec (126ec)
- Research Hospital in New Tassagrad in 1 turn for 36ec (56ec)
- Network Node in Aurora in 1 turn for 6ec (26ec)

Requested in one turn (on 2250):
- Fusion Sea Formers in Espirito del Aqua in 1 turn for 54ec (84ec)

That's 336ec total in rushes so far. 506 if combined with the upgrades. That's about a turn and a half of our energy profits.

Requested for sometime in the near future:
- When New Tassagrad's crop failure is over, rush the Hab Complex if the amount is reasonable (given our ECs, that means if the first 10 mins are done).
- Anything in Espirito del Aqua, it can't build stuff worth ****

If, during play, a good oppurtunity for a rush comes up, please consider doing it, because we are swimming in ECs and Akiria could benefit greatly from some of them

General Orders for the Commssioner
1) If, for any reason, an Akirian base should begin generating any ED at all, cut mineral production until the ED goes away. Start by un-convoying mineral crawlers, then start moving/pulling workers if necessary. Please use your discretion in worker fiddling, so as to not overly damage nutrient or energy production. If time permits, please check any Akirian base that was near the ED limit (ie over 20 mins) and may have increased production since last checked.

2) Please check, before ending each turn, whether the next turn will bring a drone riot for any Akirian base. If so, please take preventative steps. I'll understand if time constraints make this touch-and-go, but please do your best to prevent drone riots (as opposed to fixing the problem after the riot starts).

Specific Orders for the Commssioner
1) Keep an eye on Espirito del Aqua and take steps to prevent possible drone riots. Particularly after the CC is built.
2) Remember those rushes this time!

Build Queues

[Cedayon]

c & p'd from the Akiria thread.

Hmm, hybrids... I need other stuff though... hmm...

[Voltaire]

Twin Sea Preliminary Orders MY 2249-2256

Surprisingly not much to do this turn, the infrastructure queues in all bases are nearly full due to last turns orders, and the industrialization is proceeding as planned.

Build Queues

Crystalis (no change)

Mysidia (no change)

New Suez (no change)

U.N. Research Complex (no change)

Transcendence Academy
-change production form Fungicidal Former Mk2 to Recreation Commons
-rush Recreation Commons

Heaven’s Gate (no change)

Crawlers

Any newly constructed crawlers are to move to unoccupied forest locations and are to convoy minerals.

Formers

Upgrade all formers in Twin Sea region to Super Formers (doubles terraforming rate).

Move formers to squares not already containing forests, and remove fungus (if necessary), plant forests & build roads; except in rocky areas, in which case construct mines and build roads.

[Method]

well, i guess they're not critical...you can bump them down if you want. i just think we should put them in place, since they not only increase forest output, but mainly increase lab and economy output (so if you want to put fusion labs first, go ahead)

[Hercules]

This will not do

Apart from Maniac ( requests granted) most other Governors ( not TKG or Cedayon)), especially Voltaire, have just submitted build orders. Their early defence promises are not being delivered. I will appeal to the DIA and Alpha Talent if there is not a stronger defence commitment from all regions.

[Cedayon]

I'm not sure I ever made defense promises... I've asked a few times (like last time) if you wanted NT to build some units, but I never got a response so I commited it to the XD.

If you want some units built, let me know which units and how many.

In the future, please ask me directly if you want something done before threatening to appeal to higher officials to force me to do that thing.

[Method]

herc, what specifically do you need, again? i'm currently in the middle of a huge effort to beef up the infastructure in aurillion, so i doubt i'll be able to help there. maybe once my new super formers have completed a few boreholes, and i have hybrid forests and fusion labs everywhere, i'll commit some bases to building ships and air units. until then...

as DIA however, i can force some coastal bases in centralis and twin sea to build you ships if you need, but i think Suez is building a project ATM.

Infrastructure takes priority, and before I can commit the industrial power of the Twin Sea region to defense I have to keep my promise to industrializing and modernizing the entirety of the region. I would also the question of building up unnecessary defensive measures when the minerals could be put to use of improving the lives of the regions people. The Hive has to date not attacked us on our home soil, our current defenses have been sufficient in keeping native lifeforms at bay, and many bases still lack even the most basic infrastructure.

I will concede that the Twin Sea defense forced need an overhaul, but I don’t see the need to devote the minerals of the region to the construction of new units when the DPO can simply upgrade the existing units, this should hardly be a problem given that the new free market economic system produces a surplus great enough to fund such an endeavor. So in short I would request that that DPO, rather than complain about the lack of interest the Twin Sea administration has taken in defense, overhaul the forces in the Twin Sea region using DPO funds.

[GeneralTacticus]

All is correct, Maniac, thank you for posting this and saving me the trouble.

[GeneralTacticus]

Question to the Commissioner

GT, are my general orders for several of the formers ok, or do I still need to give detailed tile-per-tile soil enricher per soil enricher orders?

The current format is fine. Besides, it gets tricky to follow detailed tile-by-tile orders by the end of the chat anyway.

[Cedayon]

Hmm, maybe I'll redo the format of my former orders, then...

Btw, who's doing orders for Solaris?

[AdamTG02]

Direct our research according to this poll. As I will not be able to attend the turnchat, the Commissioner is empowered to break any ties should they occur.

Oh, Maniac is doing them, k ... I just wanted to make sure someone was doing it so GT doesn't kill us come turnchat time

[Maniac]

And I thought Cedayon was doing them. I'll try to have in some 20 hours. if anyone feels tempted to do them in the meantime, be my guest!

PS: One of those two formers loaned to Solaris I have recalled to Sheathed Sword as a lot of soil enrichers and boreholes will be built there soon. The second (the one with synthmetal trance defence) I have ordered rehomed to Ankh-Morpork and have given over control to the Solarian authorities.

[Cedayon]

I've gotta go somewhere about... now, really ... but I'll be back in 2 hours or so and I'll do Solaris' orders then.

[Cedayon]

On request I've made these orders for Solaris. Feel free to pick them apart and change whatever, anyone, as I don't have authority here.

Possible Orders for Solaris 2249-

Crawlers

Just pick good spots when the crawlers come on-line. A really good one, though, is for a Metro crawler to convoy minerals from the adjacent mine at (17,59, just W of the base).

Formers

Ankh-Morpork Former (18,54) (SW of Shangri-La), building condensor
- Finish condensor
- Build Soil Enricher
- Move to (18,52) (N)
- Build road
- Plant Forest (or should it be farmed?)
- Move to (17, 51) (NW)
- Build road
- Build mine

Metropolis Former (22,58) (NE E of Metro), removing fungus
- finish removing fungus
- Build road
- Build farm
- Build condensor (if necessary)
- Move to (24, 60) (SE)
- Remove fungus
- Build road
- (from here depends on priorities)

If Shangri-La builds a former, have it assist the A-M former nearby.
If Capricorn builds a former, have it assist the Metro former nearby.
If UNABanana build a former, put a mining platform or two up in the kelp squares, toss in a tidal harness if there's time.

Terminal Dogma Former (14,56) (S of A-M), no orders
- recalled by Maniac, so do as he says... thanks for the formers, Maniac, that condensor farm is working wonders for A-M

Sheathed Sword Former (same place as the TD former), no orders
- move to A-M (N)
- rehome to A-M (as per Maniac's orders)
- move back to (14,56) (S)
- build soil enricher
- move to (16,56) (E)
- build farm
- build soil enricher
- build condensor

Workers

Ankh-Morpork:
- The base will grow in 2 turns, creating a drone riot situation (if nothing changes), so in 1 turn (on 2250) pull a worker into empath duty to avert that.

Metro Worker at (16,60) (W SW of base)
- Switch to the unworked forest square, it's better

U.N. Aquaxenobanana:
- The base will grow in 1 turn, creating a drone riot situation (if nothing changes), so immediately pull a worker into empath duty to avert that.

New Workers
- At this stage the bases simply need food, the workers should be placed accordingly. If possible, work some good mineral squares. Hopefully some more forest can be planted soon (even though I'm doing little but condensor farms right now ).

Note: it's the Sheathed Swordian former that I would prefer to rehome to Ankh-Morpork, not the Terminal Dogmatic. Currently a Pandemonian former is under as well to be rehomed at ShSw. That way every base in Jedinica will support three land formers, no more, no less.

Note: I have updated my previous orders post for sea formers.

Fusion Sea Formers

fung. formers mk2? what?
supply crawlers i *think* are the same cost with the rover chassis with fusion (are they?) so we might as well build them, and are your sea formers super?

[Cedayon]

Those are just what the bases are producing currently... I just put "former", "Supply Crawler" and such in the build queue, GT's the one who picks which one.

I could see about changing the model, though it might cost some minerals for the ones currently being built.

I would prefer fission super, myself...

[GeneralTacticus]

Okay, the only orders we need now are TKG's approval or otherwise of the requested rushes, Herc's, and some DEI orders (although we can probably just carry on doing what we were ebfore, which was exploring to the nroth and recalling the combat foils).

[Method]

all rushes, especially aurillian ones are approved. and tacticus, insert a few well-placed rushes into twin sea aswell

i'll have the DIA orders ready soon, base placements and such...

[Cedayon]

Btw, I won't be able to attend this turnchat. Like the last one, I'm on campus and my University has an irrational hatred for IRC.

[Maniac]

I just realied something: Who's running UN Circular Quay??
UN Circular Quay build queue (also change current construction)
police infantry
super fusion cruiser former (same type as in Jedinica VS)
rec commons

D of Science order

Move the alien artifact near N of Ankh-Morpork to Sheathed Sword, but do NOT cash it in until AdamTG says to do so.

DEI orders

Same old orders as last time (I wrote them 10 minutes ago, but I lost them and I don't feel like rewriting) EXCEPT:
*(126.88) trance laser skimship move to UN Circular Quay
*TBIBTU probe team move to Valhalla
*Two exploring units in Twin Peaks and trance scout defensive N of Ankh-Morpork return to control of the DPO.
*Fusion probe team to be constructed (tbc) in Concordia: move to Valhalla

*the mind worm on (7.95) should move to the fungus tile (16.74) (when in fungus they don't cost support)

If any military units get finished, please ask in the chat what to do with them.

Hercules, perhaps you should post a poll asking if we should invade the Hive, and ask how many units each region should deliver for that war, in absolute numbers or as a percentage of the total mineral production of that region which should support offensive military units. Then you have legal arguments and the governors can't refuse to build military units, command centres & aerospace complexes.
