Could you double-check your math on my entertainment facilities? Turn 9 said I needed 5 more lab-turns, which is what I spent.
Do I need to spend any more lab time on the ship repairs, or is just having the resources enough?
How do I use my newly mined scientific resources?

Expansionistic? Goooood

Construction:
1 Cornovan field
1 Factory

Workforce (15 available):
Farms: [2/4]
Mines (Metal): [1/1]
Mines (Luxury): [0/1]
Factories [6/8]
Labs [6/6]

Army
Guard lab #2

Research:
Lab #1 - Higher industry efficiency. Increases max conversion rate/per pop by 50%
Lab #2 - [Teker cloning centre: 2 size, 6 IC, 0/4 pop. 1 pop=>1 food 5 food=> 1 pop(Pop limited to mining and farming)Small chance of an uprising][2 turns left]
Lab #3 - Biofuels [Allows factories and distilleries to converse 5 food into 1 fuel. With a max production of 4/3 a turn.(Factory and distillery)] [5 turns left.]

Misc:
Have a speech and attempt to encourage soldiers to reproduce only with other soldiers (yes, I want soldiers caste)


Questions (just in case):
1)   10 Carnovan fields: [16/20] pop. = 15 civilian pops + 1 soldier pop, right?

2)    I can switch mine production from luxuries to metal or vice versa  at any moment, right?


As for GM Note - I don't care :)

How do I use my newly mined scientific resources?
1. Yes, you're right. That does it thn, I'm switching to research points.
2. Resources is enough
3. You can allocate them to research projects. Various complicated buildings and ships might use them to.

Questions (just in case):
1)   10 Carnovan fields: [16/20] pop. = 15 civilian pops + 1 soldier pop, right?
Yup
2)    I can switch mine production from luxuries to metal or vice versa  at any moment, right?
Yup

@ Nirur. Your lab already invested 3 IC and 1 metal in the UFO. You only need 2 IC/ 1 metal to fully repair it.
Another question: Do you want to summon the militia to. In your situation that would be 14 squads.

No, I think I'd rather keep the xp condensed and save myself the potential morale hit. I'll train up a second soldier group with newly freed IC just in case, though.

Will my alien craft be able to provide fire support, or would it be a really good idea to avoid firing near my troops without specialized craft?
Do ground to space batteries take up any space? There's also an inconsistency in the first post, do they have 0 defense or 1?

1. It depends. While your alien craft might be capable of not obliterating your troops, keeping the cloning center intact might prove problematic. Also, low orbital flights are a dangerous maneuver to execute without special crafts.
Ground to space don't take up any size. They have 0 defense, but that doesn't mean they are defenseless. Just that they don't get any defense bonusses.

That I have no idea what exactly you want your research to do.

Upgrade the research rate. I seem to have a talent for confusing you.

Nah, not going to let you do that. Would be a serious balancing problem. (Mostly because I have to choose between a 0 or a 50% boost. The system isn't really flexible.)

In that case switch mine back to metal and build construction ship. (Also because I'm l don't want to post in another thread were my things in space race approved?)
