Orders for turnchat 2257-2264, Saturday 2200 GMT

[GeneralTacticus]

The chat will be held at #smacdg on the Apolyton server. As before, pelase try to turn up early.

[Maniac]

Don't forget the February government still does this chat.
For most though, I presume they'll just have to repost their previous orders. No problem. I made quite a few changes though because of the supercollider project:

Jedinica Vrijstaat order, MY 2257 onwards

Requests to the DIA

Could you please design a 0-1-1 super clean once we research Bioengineering?
Could you please design a 0-1-6*2 super clean cruiser former once we research Bioengineering?
Rush requests:
Concordia hybrid forest: 388 ec
Pandemonium supply speeder: 9 ec
Total: 397 ec

Build queues
Please follow them exactly. All are changed.

Supply crawlers

[i]Concordian trance supply (12.80) NE-NE of Antioch, moving to (16.66)[:i]
-stop moving to (16.66)
-move to Concordia instead
-cash the crawler in for speeding up the Concordian Supercollider production.

Both Pandemonian supply speeders under construction
Both Valhallan supply speeders under construction
One Terminal Dogmatic supply speeder under construction
-cash them in for the Supercollider at Concordia.

First Sheathed Swordian supply speeder under construction
-move to (16.66)
-convoy minerals

Second Sheathed Swordian supply speeder under construction
-move to (16.62)
-convoy minerals

In case there are too many supply speeders built, not needed for rushing the supercollider
1) convoy nutrients on (7.77)
2) convoy minerals on some free forest (none available in Jedinica though I think)
3) if no other use can be found, gift them to some other region, of terraformations are available

Formers

Instead of giving former orders, I'll just give a list of what terraformation I would want in the end, as the list of detailed former orders would become too long now they can too double the work than before. Please tell me when you want the other order format after all. If you want me to make a picture with this list put into symbols on a map of Jedinica, I'll do so.

Updated for already done terraformations and new ordered terraformations according to my latest poll.

All sea tiles: kelp farm, tidal harness
(14.60) NE-NE of ShSw: road, condenser, soil enricher
(12.60) N of ShSw: road, borehole
(11.63) SW of ShSw: road, condenser, soil enricher
(12.64) S of ShSw: road, borehole
(11.67) NW of Pan: road, condenser, soil enricher
(14.66) NE-NE of Pan: road, borehole
(14.68) E of Pande: road, mine
(19.67) SE of TeDo: road, condenser, soil enricher
(22.68) E-E-S of TeDo: road, condenser, soil enricher
(21.69) SE-SE-SE of TeDo: road, condenser, soil enricher
(16.72), (18.70), (20.68): road, borehole
(17.71), (19.69): road, condenser, soil enricher
(16.74) SW of Val: road, condenser, soil enricher
(10.74) NW of Con: road, condenser, soil enricher
(9.75) W of Con: road, soil enricher, echelon mirror
(10.76) SW of Con: road, soil enricher, solar collector
(8.76) W-SW of Con: road, soil enricher, solar collector
(9.77) SW-SW of Con: forest
(7.75), (6.76), (7.77), (8.78): road, condenser, soil enricher

I hope that will finish.

Thanks.

[Cedayon]

ATTN: this is a repost of my 2256- orders, with different rush requests (1), and some minor worker orders. All other orders unchanged (ie the build/crawler/former orders are a tad outdated now, but just keep doing what you were doing, GT)

Crawlers
Aurora and New Tassagrad crawlers have many orders for the Operation, but that's it.

Formers

(orders for the former group near New Tassagrad are given in the Operation)

Zanarkand Gate Former (7,119) S W of Cyclops, no orders
- move E to (9,119) and build a sensor array
- return to control of the Aurillion authorities

The group (#1) at (6,118) W SE of Cyclops:
Aurora Former, no orders

Cyclops Former, no orders
- Build farm, then soil enricher
- move NE N to (7,115, fungus square), remove fungus, build road, then plant forest

- move SW S E to (12,118, fungus square), remove fungus, build road, then plant forest
- move W N N NE NE to (12,112), plant forest, then build sensor array
- move NW NE E NE to (15,109), build sensor array

New Apolyton Former at (26,114) SE SE SE of Twin Peaks, no orders
- build farm (replace the forest!), soil enricher, and condensor

- Join Aurora Sea Former (orders just above)

New Tassagrad Sea Former at (13,103) W SW of EdA, building Tidal Harness
- Cancel current orders, and Upgrade to Super Fusion Sea former (new design may be necessary)
- Build Tidal Harness
- Join the other two Akirian Sea Formers (orders above)

Workers

(New Tassagrad worker orders are given in the Operation)

Twin Peaks
- Put the empath to work on a forest square, since the recently rushed (Thanks ) network node has alleviated most drone problems in the base and the soon-to-be-completed Rec commons will finish the job.

Cyclops
- Put the empath to work on a forest square, since the recently rushed (Thanks ) network node has alleviated all drone problems in the base and the soon-to-be-completed Rec commons will keep it that way for a long time.

Espirito del Aqua
- When the network node finishes, try putting some empaths to work if there are suitable squares.

New Workers
- Just put 'em somewhere reasonable (possibly specialist duty if it's called for), or ask me 'cause I'll be in the turnchat this time


Operation WholeMessOCrawlers

Turn 1 ('56)

New Tassagrad:
-Change production from Xenoempathy Dome to Fusion Speeder Supply (accept min loss)
-Change Queue to FSS, FSS, FSS, FSS, Xenoempathy Dome, Needlejet (pick the model), Hybrid Forest
-Move the worker on the farm/solars just S of the base to the kelp farm/harness square (N NE of base)
-Change the crawler at (9,105) (W W N of base) from nutrient crawling to mineral crawling.
-Change the crawler at (12,108) (SW of base) from nutrient crawling to mineral crawling.
-Move the crawler at (11,113) (S S S W of base) to (11,111) (N from there) and crawl minerals.

Aurora:
-Change production from Research Hospital to Fusion Speeder Supply (accept min loss)
-Change Queue to FSS, FSS, Needlejet (pick the model), Hybrid Forest
-Please use ec's to fill in the 3 or so mins to make sure the FSS finishes in 1 turn (no need to do overrun, since Aurora will have 15 min production and thus produce an FSS in exactly 2 turns anyway).

Where to put the crawlers (always displace workers, preferably to forest, use discretion if no forest is available):
New Tassagrad:
#1: move S SE to the mine square and crawl minerals
#2: move SE and crawl minerals
#3: move NW and crawl minerals
#4: move S and crawl minerals
#5: move out (along a road) and immediately back in to be cashed in for the XD.

Aurora:
#1: move SW to the nut bonus square and crawl nuts
#2: move S and crawl minerals
#3: move to NT to cash in for the XD.

What to do with the 5-former group that starts S SE of New Tassagrad:
Send 1 (The Tacticus Academy Former) to the condensor square NW NW of New Tassagrad to add a soil enricher, when it's done I return it to control of the Centralis Governor.
Send 2 to the farm/solar square S of New Tassagrad to replace the current stuff with forest
Send 2 to the farm/solar square S SW of New Tassagrad to replace the current stuff with forest
(I have other tasks for the last 4 formers, but they are irrelevant to the plan)

Turn 6 ('61)
New Tassagrad should be building the Xenoempathy Dome now, probably with 10 mins leftover from the last crawler. (10/300)
-Cash in the two newly built FSS's (1 from NT, 1 from Aurora) (70/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's S of NT (100/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's SE of NT (130/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's NW of NT (160/300)
-Cash in the normal crawler that's SW of NT (190/300)
-Cash in the normal crawler at (11,111) (S S W of NT) (220/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's SW of Aurora (250/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's S of Aurora (280/300)
NT's mineral production should be enough to fill in the rest and finish the Dome by the next turn ('62)

Turn 7 ('62)
*ding* Project's done!

[Cedayon]

Oh, and presumably the '56 orders for Solaris can be used in absence of any others.

[Method]

Aurillian Orders

note: much of this is recycled from last time, so some orders (namely with workers) may have already been implemented. there have been some changes with formers though, regarding where i'm putting my boreholes, so READ CAREFULLY, especially around Xanadu. most of my bases are doing hybrid forests right now, so rushes aren't such a good idea. however, near the end of the chat, we might have a few more boreholes, so check if a decent rush opportunity comes up...

IF A FORMER IS DONE THESE ORDERS, DO NOT SEND THEM TO WORK AT ANOTHER BASE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF BOREHOLES TO BE CONSTRUCTED

EDIT: by the way, i won't be attending this turnchat. this week, it's the Ontario Indoor Rowing Championships in St. Catherine's. Maniac: poke GT everyone so often to make sure he's got these orders right (), they might cause some confusion as some may have already been implemented.

[Cedayon]

I will also be absent from the turnchat, due to my being located on campus.

Don't screw up

[Cedayon]

Oh, yea, I also request the clean upgrade to all units in Akiria when we get BE. If you need to space the upgrades out for cost reasons, please do the ones supported by the bases lowest in mineral output first.

[AdamTG02]

[provisional Director of Science orders

That should teach me not to post a poll, under the assumption that the next turnchat would be handled by my successor. Apologies.

In any case, I'm going by the runners-up in the last poll. This means that Retroviral Engineering isn't a candidate; however, it presumably will be in following polls. As I only learned that I would be issuing orders for Saturday late Friday night, this is regrettable but unavoidable. (And yes, I take responsibility for not keeping up with things. After I confirmed DEI would no longer be existing I thought it was safe to forget about the DG for a few days.)

In the last poll, Applied Relativity is the clear runner-up with five votes. Superstring Theory and Organic Superlubricant are tied for third place with two votes; since we need a second choice tech, I'm breaking the tie in favor of Superstring Theory, to enhance our understanding of physics. Given that there was a tie, Organic Superlubricant is listed as third.

These orders are provisional; that means that since the turnchat will take place in War of Art's term, and since I'm breaking a tie and working from outdated information, I'm giving him the opportunity to rule these invalid. Any orders that the incoming DoS posts will supercede these. However, in the absence of newer orders, these orders will stand.

First choice tech: Applied Relativity
Second choice tech: Superstring Theory
Third choice tech: Organic Superlubricant

[Cedayon]

btw, Adam, we already got AR from an artifact.

[GeneralTacticus]

We already got Applied Relativity from an AA.

EDIT: Crosspost with Cedayon.

[Voltaire]

Directory of Foreign Affairs Orders MY 2257-2264

Not many pressing decisions to make, though follow these general guidelines in regards to foreign affairs:

1) Always accept the incoming transmission from another faction;
2) If a faction that we are currently at war with demands technology, laugh in their face;
3) If a faction that we are currently at was with demands energy credits, laugh in their face, unless of course it is a reasonable amount (meaning anything below 100ec); &
4) Attempt to pass the Global Trade Pact in the UN, if necessary bribe someone to change their vote in our favour (but only if their request is reasonable).

[GeneralTacticus]

Ok, still need DIA orders from TKG. Just the statement 'all rushes are approved' would be enough...

[Maniac]

I think TKG will already be at that rowing contest, which makes me replacing DIA I guess. I'll have a look at the rush orders and any other missing director orders. Hmm, I could even veto TKG's former rush requests...
