Both, yes. I have like two more hours, so, well crap that's not as much time as I thought.

Sorry, this semester's over and I'm trying to get moved out of the dorm tonight so I can drive all of tomorrow. I'll try, very hard to make an action set for this turn tonight.

Well if you do not make the dead line it shifts to turn two. But you get this bonus.

Get a +1 forba total of 3 bonus next Arms Race Suggesstion.

Fair?

Because at 8 the NPCs do their thing here and then PCs turn two.

Notice: Of the three npc clans I generated with dice. Only one is at level/sector 9!( where all PCs are.)

Note about layers: Ship has nine layers. If attempt to crack wall to sector nine open a hole into space. Messy. But if you find eight. Well there are many ways around the walls. It is key to go to the one layer if want the best ending.

One of you already has one of the three tokens needed for best ending.

Five in total. Two of them everyone dies. Just differently.  The others one clan left standing or a United Nations thing.
Clock is ticking though people interrupt me in real life.

I suspect that "best ending" is "get the ship working again". Given that, I suspect that it's either my group or Madman's that has the "token".

The nanofactory is almost certainly capable of reconstructing the ship itself....but we also need command and control, sensors, and repopulation including food animals and plants...which might fall under the purview of your device, Glass.

I'm writing my actions now. Going to be a bit light on (read: completely devoid of) fluff, but it'll be there momentarily.

Tyrant you deleted the entirety of the first post, I need references for the technology that I have available!

EDIT2:
OK done

God damn my family holding up my phone time. Got a early appointment tomorrow. Well npcs and turn 2 then.

Also as you made three actions. You saved day. Next time will deliver SG list of choices. As I think I screwed up too.

Now, to respond to your post then sleep.

Oh and to rebuild the ship would take three hundred years of game time. As the ship is a planetoid worth of mass. It is a soft ware, not hard ware problem with it.

Notice: Tech stuff is hidden until encounter. But see results of told.

NPC Turn:

Aragamai

They were having another day in the hub. Next to a wall with “7” marked in the wall. They took the advancer of security.

First thing they did was build a wall. It is a pitiful construction attempt as the people clearly had no idea what they are doing (1) so the defenses were there. But in a serious attack it would. Evlike card board. So did best to cover it with Plant matter. Make it seem like a derelict building.

The next thing they did was attempt to make a multistory farm arrangement.

(5 of 6)

It worked! Now more layers for growth. And thus more food and plant fibers. Yay. 2 Farm ( as you can use commands to improve stats. But only up to +2. Tech improvement/Arms Race causes faster climb)


Last thing they did was explore.

+ 20 results.

They discovered the wreckage of a fallen community. Ruined vehicles for scrap, food, guns and ammo.

Total findings:

50 weight worth in scrap
5 Slug pistols
4 Smart Guns
3 boxes of grenades ( fire bomb ones)
3 units worth of metal/junk armor
70 in meat
90 in vegetables
60 units in lumber



Super secret project:

5,3,6=6,4,6 results.


Pax:

After being denied access by Forgers. The Leader was enraged. “ What the Hell man! I am trying to save us all.”

The wall they were next to, was a eight. Meaning a layer away. With that they explored.

Three explores

First:

Find a tiny tribe of transhuman workers. They were gene mod to be bug people. They allow them to stay.

Second tribe they discover a tower, inside the tower they find a orb with number combination.


+ plot item

Third

They found a blocked off path by debris and wrecks. Spend day clearing it so tomorrow they can explore there. Had to spend night out there. Lost five people to wild animals that were not caught.

Research time:

Secret project:
1,2,5. Altered to 3,2,5


As for nomad traders. They are in layer nine with you guys. So their tech progress will be shown.

The Nomads spent all two of their three turns stripping what could be found of interest in their starter location.

70 lumber
180 all three foods
60 Scrap Metal
5 ores
8 oil
10 coal

The third turn a band of people who were apparently transhuman beings approached. They were allowed to stay.

Mobile Wagon Convoy: So can be a true mobile base and farm/craft and have mobile builds.

5,4,6= 6,4,6

It works perfectly as plans for other ttavela Law Constructs In work.

Last thing.

Book of Law 4.

How to handle New Comers. As some have thought of making them servants for the original tribe.

No, all Sapient life deserve freedom (morale/morality boost.)

Hell yeah Slaves ( can now donttade with slave people, they get half a food unit to feed, and will do base stuff. Note that they may try a uprising.)

Even better, Battle Thralls.

This pick, means the slaves are put in cryo sleep and only show up for warfare. So bigger armies, will need to find a way to co troll them though.

And yes do what glass did. Other leaders: Post Law in your thread. Getting busy now. Latter post up events/SGs on all threads.

Edit: Maybe just start turn 2 after And Law can be added at any given time. Because we need momentum.

Moderately important request: could we get a list of all the possible character traits and all the different Treasures? They're the last things that are still important that got lost in the demolition of the OP.

Also, you should probably put links to the posts where you explained game mechanics into the OP.

As a note Glass, I can almost guarantee at this point that you don't have anything that is needed for the best ending.
Having All knowing if not fully functional AIs is far more useful then I would have thought at first.
