oh yes, that was a looong time ago.

STEP will love to hear this. Fungal blooms are NOT inevitable. You simply have to wait with constructing boreholes until our production techniques are sufficiently eco-friendly, in other words the clean mineral limit has risen.

Which, as Archaic said, will take a very long time, and in any case, they will occur whether or not we build boreholes. They are an inevitable byproduct of industrial development at this stage, and I have no intention of crippling Centralis industry because you havbe some kind of romantic attachment to Planet.

Exactly. STEP wishes to show its dismay at the actions of The Governor of Centralis. There should be very few, if any, fungal blooms. We do not need them Akiria will have no fungal blooms for at least the next 50 years, and will have less than 5 fungal blooms (all will be the product of oversights or things happening in turnchat) throughout the whole time I am Governor.

While fungal blooms are certainly not desirable, the price of avoiding them is, for the moment, unacceptably high, unless you wish to go into the Primary Industrial Zone in Tacticus Academy and explain to the factory workers there why their livelihoods must be sacrificed in the name of Planet.

That was before the TF's were built I hope?

Like TKG said, ages ago, although NS has had reduced industrial production for decades because of how long it's taken to clean it up. The fugnus wasn't cleared until the last chat.

One must wonder anyway Drouge......and this is an RP arguement mind.....how do you know that our mineral production is harmful to planet? You say it's damaging the eco-system, and all I see is the mineral production rising to a level where the native plant life is actually encouraged to grow. What was pollution back on earth might for all we know be just what this planet likes. Certainly seems a more reasonable arguement than your "planet is rising up against us!" pleas.

Think about it for a minute.

• Where do you see the biggest concentrations of fungus? Around high mineral areas.
• Where do you see the biggest concentrations of worms? Near inhabited areas. Why? Because the worms are attracted to people because they can feed on us.
• The rapid breeding of Mind Worms is a natural side of the speeded growth of Xenofungus, which itself is a side effect of our "pollution".

Or in other words....

Mineral Production ==> Encourages Native Flora ==> Encourages Native Fauna

Sounds a lot different when you take it out of the perspective of your ecoreligion, doesn't it?

Hé? When did I ever speak extreme-green pro-Planet talk?

Archaic: Perhaps Drogue's centauri empaths tell him that? Or wait, we haven't discovered CentMeditation yet.

I was referring mainly to the STEP. Sorry if it offended you.

Ok things have changed. I asked for volunteers ( bases) to include proto-type AAA units and/or needlejets

Regional Announcement:

As of the last chat, Centralis is now completely ecodamage-free. The Centauri Preserves being built will help ensure that it remains that way.

What does the point two make in that equation, then ?

[GeneralTacticus]

Which one is point two? The one about mindworms being found most often in inhabited areas?

[Pandemoniak]

yes. The one that comes after the first and before the third

[GeneralTacticus]

Given that they're not numbered, it's kind of hard to tell which set of points you're referring to, or even what you're counting as a point.
