Oh well, just a random idea.

Turn is in... (2157)

Yep just downloading it now.

2157

• Completed 3 network nodes and new scout in Googlieplex. Scout can go to the new base location on eastern shore - soon colony pod will be completed there too.
• Then new social settings:
  
  10% psych. We need doctors in SH, Gplex, HG, VL. when economy 50 labs 40: +23 EC/turn and 38 labs/turn. When economy 40 labs 50: +19 EC/turn and 44 labs/turn. I would go for better research maybe, just we get 6 more labs and only 4EC less. But maybe EC are more needed.
  
  20% psych gives nothing, but 30% psych may be good -
  Kodycryptor can stay in golden age (it entered golden age now ) thus we get a new citizen next turn. also Gplex may have a worker - not doctor. SH, HG, VL still need doctors.
  for economy 30 labs 40: +16 EC/turn and 34 labs/turn.
  
• SH can be hurried with Network node, we do have enough energy 89EC now. Needed 88 to full, but we can make it less.
• New proposed buildings
  KC - children creshe
  KP - children creshe
  RPS - recycling tanks (3 turns ready)
  Gplex - network node or scout (i think one more might be good.
• Hive impact rover 4-1-2 on the border. Withdraw to the forest as indicated?
• Foil probe go to 33,47 base? I think so. or to 47,49?
• Transport with probes as shown? or go north? west?
• Formers mainly roads or move to make one. A farm near EM, road and forest south from VL - there may be a new base soon.
• Transfer spore launcher to Gaians this turn. We probably accept their offer.

[Hercules]

I don't like to spend that amount of ecs hurrying a NN in SH this turn.

I like getting the 30% Pysch, to continue Golden Age and for the worker in GPlex. Econ at 30% and Labs at 40%.

Yes agree foil probe to 33, 47

Suggest transport head north or west.

I am oK with build proposals.

[GeoModder]

I suggest moving the crawler NW of Yangs' Synth Sentinel to the new forest patch NW of it's position. Just to avoid temptation from his side...
The citizens of Herc Station can harvest it's forest patch then.

Also, does it make sense to sent all our probes to the same location? Thought we were about to spread them out for infiltrating multiple factions? Or are we gonna probe Yang full time first? If so, I recommend building a stronger attack or defense unit just in case we're discovered and Yang declares war.

[Mart]

Probing that problem-making hive synth is around 40EC. We can keep a probe team always nearby to make it in case Yang declares cold feelings for us.

[GeoModder]

Mmm, I forgot the play sequence. Did the Hive play before or after us?

[Mart]

I can also try to make one less drones in HG for 30% psych. It will not be probably possible, but who knows...

[Mart]

Geo, it's on the attached screenie:
Gaia-hive-univ-us

[GeoModder]

Me is an (when having a jetlag )

We'll need to switch to higher psych anyway with a new base coming up... b-drones again

Not necessarily. We can devote a crawler or 2 for energy for a problematic base till it builds a network node. We can deal with it. We have to grow anyway.

[FlameFlash]

All sounds good, though I vote north on that transport, agree with Herc. Or are we wanting to probe Yang for all he's worth early?

[GeoModder]

Let it go north, at least one team (Spartans or Morgans) should be due north of us, and we might find Zak or Lal upthere more to the west as well.
I'm in favour of infiltrating first as many factions as possible before starting more 'obscure' probings.

• Transport foil went 2 tiles north, after finding fungus on its way turned west 1 tile. Probe foil on course to Society Grid - back around the peninsula - it is in fungus now. still one fungus to go. The most dangerous moment is next turn - if there is isle of the deep we may be fried.
• I was able to avoid doctor in SH by crawling there additional energy. Only VL and HG have doctors. 3 bases grow next turn - KP, KC, HS. no drones expected
• we have 17 EC/turn, 35 labs/turn.
• Spore launcher has been transfered to Gaians, rover withdrawn to forest near hive border, still prone to attack, but will defend not in open now.
