I came here for an arms race and all I got was a bunch of chucklefucks who never studied physics arguing. Goddamnit.

I am one of the people arguing, so I really hope you aren't talking about me.

[Craftsdwarf boi]

True tho
I am one of the chucklef**ks
P.S Do we have photodetectors

[Craftsdwarf boi]

Since magic , psychic energy and indestructible material exists in this realm, it is entirely probable that physical laws may be different from that of our reality's.

[Craftsdwarf boi]

Anyways, we should probably make a better version of our rifle, or at least something better for a primary.

Generic Automatic Rifle
The rifle is clip-fed and utilizes gas release chambers.

Breech-Loaded handheld Artillery
This contrivance has a tubular structure With an loading piston and a redesigned photodetector-based coilgun as a method for propulsion

Psychic Measurement Contrivance
The device is composed of a legacy levitation crystal Isolated in a set of rails, a container (with measurement devices on the side), Upon emissions of psychic energy (previously known as hope) the crystal will be transposed inside the rails, which could be measured real time.

Generic revolving rifle
The starting revolver, but with a higher caliber, increased ammunition capacity ( 8 ), A longer barrel, a gas release chamber, and a stock

Prototype: Rocket-propelled ammunition
A miniaturized solid-fuel rocket replaces the main structure of the cartridge, tungsten is recommended for casing.
There could alternatively be high-explosive physics packages inside.

BASIC Rifle:

(Very Hard) 3 + 1 - 2 = 2

After all's said and done, we've agreed on one thing. This was far too ambitious of a project. A magazine? Moving to pump action? Iron sights and a bayonet? In a revision? Well, hindsight is 20/20. What we have is none of that and some schematics that may or may not be industrially viable.

Spoiler: Designs (click to show/hide)

Air Vehicles:

Shuttle Disks: (4 Ore, 4 Oil, 3 Crystal)
Our Fortress-City came with a small supply of these odd Shuttle Disks, large floating disks that we could fit several large buildings on the backs of. They possess no combat ability, but they're very effective transports. They use a sort of odd crystal powered by the will of the people riding on them to keep aloft, not dependent on the engines they use for propulsion at unfortunately Slow speeds. As of yet we cannot produce any more due to the design not being adapted to use Levitation Crystal, meaning we stand to lose TC if they are destroyed.
Provides 2 Universal TC. Non-Produceable.

Weapons:

Basic Rifle: (1 Ore)
A lever-action rifle capable of sending one bullet at a time out to Medium range. Possesses no magazine.

Basic Pistol: (1 Ore)
A simple four-shot semi-automatic revolver capable of sending out bullets fairly quickly out to Short range.

Supporting Technology:

Levitation Crystal Growth Matrix: (Produces 1 Levitation Crystal)
This set of linked mini-reactors use high amounts of heat and pressure to turn chemicals produced by our Fortress-City into Levitation Crystal, a form of Crystal that can only be used for the purposes of levitation. Levitation Crystal is charged by someone channeling their will into it, and after a relatively short charging duration, it will provide heavier amounts of lift compared to normal Crystal, lasting for hours before needing to be charged again. As of yet we do not have a means of producing normal Crystal. The usage of several linked smaller reactors for the production of Levitation Crystal doesn't provide any extra resources, but does make the system more dependable and efficient.
Provides 1 Levitation Crystal.

Basic Genetics Encoding Slate Manipulation:
The knowledge of the basic workings of our cloning tanks and how to produce modified genetics encoding slates. We've also produced a modified slate meant to be used with our soldiers to increase their strength and stamina by a moderate amount on average.

Volcasian Army Infantry Uniform: (Cheap)
A woven cotton jumpsuit for every Volcasian soldier, camouflaged decently according to climate. Comes with accessories such as canteens, mess kit, utility knife, hammocks, bedrolls, wool coats, thermal underwear, issued depending on the climate or terrain. Rank indicated by a painted gorget.

It's now the Strategy Phase!

[Man of Paper]

Huh, so something that was impossible to actually get results from was only hard, but a couple modifications and upgrades to our shit-tier starter weapon is very hard, this makes sense.

[FallacyofUrist]

This was a revision. You basically tried to make a whole new weapon with several new advanced features in a revision. That's why I rated it very hard.

[Man of Paper]

You also rated something that was impossible to do as merely Hard, so your rating system is very confusing.

[TricMagic]

What was the impossible thing?

[Doubloon-Seven]

The revision to improve resource yield from the crystal factories.

[TricMagic]

I don't think it is a factory currently. Just some reactors. Kinda my point of a Fire Crystal which would be used to produce more Crystals. The Fire Crystal can easily provide the heat needed, which means more can be run, which leads to more production. A factory for producing the crystals in bulk.

That revision also states that more heat isn't what is needed, which means it's likely more belief/prayer/mental/will/psychic direction. Which means making the basic crystal shouldn't be Hard at all. Whatever you call it, it's what likely changes the type of crystal produced.

Operation: That Movie
Fortress-City moves up.
----------------

Tric you need to stop assuming so hard at every turn. The point isn't how it was done anyway, the point is that it was a Revision to improve a design, as revisions usually do, but netted us nothing while not being rated as impossible and getting a workable roll result. And take a look at our crystal production. You want more variety in crystals? Gotta design the production for them. And relook at the rules about designs, there's a little blurb about increasing resource production you should probably read.

[TricMagic]

Operation: That Movie (1) TricMagic

It doesn't say it's impossible. And at the moment, we have 1 Special Resource, not 2 or 3. So improving production of them isn't impossible. Just not in a Revision.

[Man of Paper]

The GM explicitly stated so, tric. He told us when we complained about it in discord that it was trying to get resources in a revision, which wasn't possible. And yes, making more of them isn't impossible, but the issue is that we need to use a design to get anything more. A design when we have an armory full of holes. And we'll need to keep pumping designs into various crystals if we want to boost their productivity.
