Yes, and sounds good.

[Maniac]

I have a few suggestions for the formers. What do you think of them?

For the Zetarian former I would suggest it first builds a road on its current square before moving to N or NW. Doing so would connect Zetaris to Apolyton Prime.

For the Apolyton Prime former I'd suggest it moves south and builds a road to connect AP to LL. This will improve the speed by which crawlers can move to LL.

For the DBTSverse Portal former I'd suggest to cultivate farm on the rainy nutrient square. It would be an excellent square to crawl.

How did I miss that? I apologise to all, my implants must be malfunctioning.

I thought it was already under standing orders to do this? In any case, yes, this is the correct course of action.

For the DBTSverse Portal former I'd suggest to cultivate farm on the rainy nutrient square. It would be an excellent square to crawl.

This is definitely the thing to do, but once again, wasn't it under standing orders to do this (though not necessarily at this time) under the terraforming plan (which I believe is still our model).

Well I just wanted to propose it explicitedly, so you could perhaps post it in the Orders thread if you want. That way Drogue can't miss it like planting that forest near Logic Loop.

[Corellion]

Good point.

I'll go over a review of all former orders right now.

[Drogue]

Ok, a few things I need to ask. There were no orders for the supply crawler that was built in AP this turn, so it was sent to the unworked energy resources nearby and crawled energy. Also, there were not build orders for AP, so it is building another SC. This is no problem at all, just saying why I did that

Far more importantly, I have yet to see a poll or orders for where these CPs are supposed to be heading. Could someone enlighten me, or poll ASAP please?

All formers without orders were given the orders as requested, however if some were meant to be changed from their actions they have not, as when I moved the last former, it ended the turn automatically. Details will be posted in the turn reports thread.

[Maniac]

Wouldn't it be better to move the AP crawler to Logic Loop, rehome it to that base and let it harvest the mineral square? Then a few turns later it could be cashed in for the secret project.

[Corellion]

Sorry, I'm having trouble getting these out right now, given the problems with opening the turn. As for the CP locations, it's on this page, just a little up. I'll repost.

1) BB: Northmost southern screen base
2) A: Southmost eastern screen base
3) Northmost western screen base
4) Northmost decided eastern screen base

See Maniac's map for which these refer to.

[Drogue]

Ahhh, thank you Didn't realise that was that. Have they been polled, because it looks like Maniac suggested it? I think the BB and A ones have, but the others not?

Thanks for this, now the stupid PF teething problems are over, hopefully we will have a decent term

From the External Affairs Office:

As External Affairs Function responsible for military and police affairs, may I suggest to change the Zetaris production to a scout patrol?
Also, to improve military and civic transport, may I recommend to build roads between Apolyton Prime and Logic Loop/Zetaris as soon as the current former tasks are completed?

[Corellion]

From the Internal Affairs Office:

Your advice is well-taken Function Mani Alpha-3. You can rest assured that a road between Apolyton Prime and Logic Loop, as well as a road between Apolyton Prime and Zetaris, is already under construction, so as to allow for better transportation through our territory. As for changing production in Zetaris, the last poll we held regarding construction in Zetaris indicated that we should build a supply crawler, which has yet to be finished (I think... I still don't have access to the turns). I thus feel that production should not be changed without a majority supporting a repoll. Could everybody interested in a repoll please voice their opinion here?

[Maniac]

If there was a poll about it, never mind my suggestion of course. But... what poll? I can't seem to find it. I see a poll for Boolean Bay and the two new bases, but I can't find one for Zetaris.

Anyway, I'll have another look at the turn. If both a crawler and a scout patrol can be built before the base grows, there's no problem of course.

Edit: I see that the current growth is in fifteen turns, and that a crawler and scout patrol can also be built in fifteen turns. Combined with your plan to build a forest first near Zetaris, growth should be slow enough to allow crawler production first.

[Maniac]

Your great former orders say to plant forest on the rainy nutrient square near DBTSverse Portal. What do you think of the alternative of cultivating a farm there, making the square produce 5-0-1, which would be excellent for crawling, and would free up a worker for another square?

Edit: Ah yes, something else I remembered I had to say: Apolyton Prime will riot if one of its workers isn't turned into a doctor.

[Corellion]

Indeed... I had forgotten it was rainy. That would definitely be the better plan.

And yes, I had realised that... it's being dealt with.

[Maniac]

Corellon, the annoying micromanager in me has a question and a request.

Why do you order to build a road on (69.65) right now, while (70.66) could connect Logic Loop to Apolyton Prime.

Also, could you please order to move the Mythical Matrix worker back to the fields?
