One Three-Mile-Island I guess.

When do the different resource/turn restrictions get lifted, exactly?

You need three different techs: Gene Splicing for nutrients, Ecological Engineering for minerals, and Environmental Economics for energy. I have the first two.

Also, ecological damage does tend to lead to nasty pink fungus choking your infrastructure and horrible worms eating your citizens' brains.

How about calling a base Halltraded?  Preferably on the shore near some isles of the deep xD

I love that your finest Talent is considered for independent work at the tender age of one hundred eighty nine.

And not only are you bribing the would-be Chamberlain to let you commit atrocities, but his asking price was either the key to all military power, or pocket change.  And he gladly took the pocket change.

Name the Believer water city Ænema.  If (when) you get more of Miriam's cities, name them stuff like Judas Priest, Black Hole Sun, and Temple of the Dog.

I've been leaning mostly towards conquering my neighbors, with exploring and building new bases being neglected a bit. Anyone got suggestions for policy changes? A new tech direction would also be helpful, because I finished rushing towards Pre-Sentient Algorithms a while ago. I could go for Neural Grafting and all the fun stuff that comes from that branch of the tech tree (choppers and cyborgs). Currently I'm researching the prerequisite for Silksteel Alloys, because I need some better defence. Plasma steel isn't cutting it anymore.

You've got foils and cash, colonize and terraform the seas! Seriously, a fully-improved sea tile is awesome in basically all ways, and should provide you with a nice production, energy, and population boost. Especially if you can get the secret project that makes bases start at three, since I haven't seen that built yet.

When can we start with the delicious planet busters?


Also, I got Alpha Centauri and the expansion fairly cheap on Ebay a few years ago.  They are great fun, but the aliens are really hard to beat.

Uh, no, I've just been remiss in taking screenshots:
