NGO : New Woodstock

[Maniac]

Once the name is decided, may I suggest opening a new NGO thread and continue the discussion there?

[moomin]

Leave pollution to dirty collectivist filth like the Hive. We'll be running a clean, productive market economy here.

[Diablero]

I'll join.

I knew that soon politics will be involved.

[Pandemoniak]

To Maniac, the new thread will be created on the 22nd, since the poll last seven days.

And this place is not to discuss politics, it is to discuss our policy about environment : shall we go for fungus, or shall we go for forests, or shall we go for Farm/Solar/Roads + a few boreholes ?
How can we define our environmental policy ?

To Kirov : We can let a little tile of fungus for some Fungal wodka (That'll be Fungowska, fungal wodka instead of Zubrowska, bull herbs vodka)

[Mellian]

I say we get one former sometime this decade to plant a forest or two between bases, then let it grow until we are ready to go with our forestation/lumber project

so yes, i vote Forests all the way maybe some boreholes, but away from our bases...on some island and then use crawlers to ship the minerals.

I like this idea, research tends to speed up somewhat when you've got a research city with 10 supply crawlers each bringing back 6 energy per turn (boreholes produce 6 energy )

EDIT: Omitting a question that had already been answered

[Anodyne]

Mmhhh... fungal vodka...

...yes, what did you say?
Sure, I'll join

Ah I see. I didn't know that as you didn't mention a date in your first post.

thats good if you're got lots of formers, but i like putting boreholes in the base radius and working them. crawling them seems so wasteful (you're wasting 6 mins) since they take so long to build.

[Mellian]

i can just see the future debate on boreholes between the greenists and the free marketists,

anyway, we would of course need to research bio-engineering (or whatever the preq is) so we can get clean reactors. that way, we'll save the precious minerals for the military.

I would be careful in planting boreholes in the base radius. I usually plant one, sometimes two, and next are built outside the bases.
And I think that instead of boreholes we should consider energy park. But the problem is, how to do good terraforming without causing ecological disaster?
Sometimes it's mutually exclusive.
