Official : Road Network

[- Groucho -]

I'm with the maniac. Our resources are too precious to spend on souped up tractors when a more moderately priced former could be in the field far quicker. In these early days our engineers should be building the necessities of life on this planet - not indulging in gear-head tractor-pull fantasies. Perhaps once our bases are more established and we have some spare mineral resources, a prototype could be developed to provide a proof of concept.

Seeing that we don't have a road network yet, I'd like to propose turning all our formers over to connecting our four bases Antioch, TBIBTU, New Apolyton and UNPD as soon as their current task is finished. The only exception would be the NA former making a road towards NS, and the NS former doing its own distinct work.

A picture (left side). The red lines indicate what I think is the most efficient road network. The red squares indicate my preferred next base locations.

right side...

i concur

western base site is but the northern i would do one tile NW so that you wont have any trouble with overlapping and have more rolling moists tiles

[Maniac]

I'd suggest a citizen poll or director quickpoll for determining the northern site. NW would be my second choice as well. But personally I don't mind a bit of overlap. Also when we build it at the indicated location, we can build another coastal base NW of this one with only three tiles overlap. If we build the northern base one tile NW, there is no room anymore for a coastal base and we're wasting some good rainy tiles.

[DeathByTheSword]

in that case you have my support

I just made a record drive through our faction territory with one of Lemmy's rovers to make the following pictures:

While I was at it. A suggestion...

the first one is fine, but i'd go one tile NW of the second one

Sounds great as well. I just have a hardwired tendency to build on bonus squares.
