Sure.

-1. I like micromanaging.

[Iris]

Don't timeskip, I thought of things to do during the time.

Go online, and find the prices of all shopfronts for sale in a 25km radius.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

You fire up the cloning machine once again, using bio-matter. Your researcher keeps researching Genetic Engineering. Your clones made $1,049.10, tuition cost $1,500, net loss $450.90. You search online for shopfronts for sale in a 25km radius: there are a bit, one right here in Pe Ell, the average price is $3,500 a month to rent or $150,000 - $230,000 to buy out right. You had time to work just a bit on the fence.

Work on the fence will be done in about a month. The Cloning Machine is making 3 clones, will be done in 5 weeks, used 5.25. 2 clones in trade school to learn 1:carpentry and 1:structural engineering, should be done next week. Another clone sent to learn plastic surgery, should be done in 4 weeks.

Cut down a few more trees and split them in to more planks, then work on the fence some more. When the clones are finished with there schooling have them go out and get jobs in there respective fields.

[Iris]

Right, just thought of a great way to exploit infinite workers:

Add Drones to the research queue

These are refinements of the zombies: they can barely think for themselves, cannot feel anything, and mindlessly follow orders. In short, they are human robots. This allows us to put them in dull and repetitive jobs without them dying of boredom, unlike a full-fledged clone. Leading to:

Buy some 6502s, a subscription to a PCB printing service, scrap metal for cases, and other misc. components (ie capacitors)

Yes, we are making hobbyist microcomputers. Well, why not? They're cheap, interesting, and still useful in the current day if you know how to use them. Of course, we should also have an instruction manual. Hold off on buying the components until Drones are done. At that point, start decanting four Drones. Instruct them to start soldering. (It's not an involved process, you can learn in minutes using Youtube.) The welding clone can be put to work creating the cases at this point.
When the computers are ready, rent the shop in Pe Ill.

It will be staffed entirely with clones, saving a fortune in wages. Our profit will be much higher than any other business in the area.

If this doesn't work, I have a plan to salvage things, so there's nothing to lose.

Try to reverse-engineer blueprints for the cloner

This gives us a backup; if the cloner is damaged we can replace it. We can also manufacture more for the bunker to create batches in parallel, significantly increasing production and therefore make the zombies more viable. (Imagine this: a clone bay is kept occupied with a zombie, nearly done. An alarm sounds. The cloner springs to life, finishing the zombie within seconds. An unaware attacker is quickly overrun, and the zombies are killed and new ones are readied.)

[MonkeyMarkMario]

You know how to build more clone makers , it just takes a lot of resouces. You zombie idea could work better if you research stasis tubes, clone makers can't pause what they are making, if they do 1/4 of the bio-matter is returned.


Also just letting you all know my computer is on the fritz, so I may or may not update in the next couple days.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

My computer works again! ya now to update:

You chop down 4 trees netting you 38.4 wood. You than split most of them into planks, receiving 15.6 planks. Than you use all the planks to build more of the fence. Your carpentry clone finished and got a job giving $600/week wage, starting next week. Your structural engineering clone finished and got a job giving $1200/week wage, starting next week. Your clones made $2,044.05, tuition cost $1500, netting $544.05. You tell the researcher to add drones to the research queue. The researcher is almost done with Genetic Engineering.

You start the process to rent the shop here in Pe Ell, you tell them you won't be ready to move in for a few weeks. They tell you they want a $1,000 down payment and will give you a deal. The deal: $1,500 a month + 5% of the profits every month with a 5% increase every other month up to 25%. Offer only good until they get a better offer.

Work on the fence will be done in about a month. The Cloning Machine is making 3 clones, will be done in 4 weeks, used 5.25. A clone is in school to learn plastic surgery, should be done in 4 weeks.

I have a feeling we would make more money from Iridium64's computer making idea if we sold them online instead of at a physical store, mostly because Pe Ell has 600 or so people in it and that means there wont be that much of a market for small hobby computers. You are really going in to a niche market and the internet is the best place to get people to see the product.

Keep spiting logs in to planks and continue to work on the fence.

Create three clones.

Assign one to General Labour and two to gathering wood.

Do this, and pull our carpenter clone back to assist/get his brain scanned for the next batch.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

You pull the carpenter off his job to work on spiting logs into planks and have his brain scanned for the future clones. Your clones made $3,151.35, tuition cost $500, net gain of $2,651.35. You work on the fence. The researcher finishes Genetic Engineering, and started drones.

Work on the fence will be done in about a month. The Cloning Machine is making 3 clones mk1, will be done in 3 weeks, used 5.25. A clone is in school to learn plastic surgery, should be done in 3 weeks.

New Unlock!
Specialized Genetic Engineering projects are now available, just say the specialty(female is one, drones are another)
All clones made form here on out will be clone mk1; clones mk1 have carpentry skills(wood related tasks 50% easier(50% more gains))
