What about readying it for harvest, or turning the body into a veritably factory for those little worm things, so that they can do massive damage?

[NUKE9.13]

I agree with everything Ukrainian Ranger has said.
In the words of the proletariat,
'Do eet!'

[Acanthus117]

DOO EEEET

[Tarran]

TARRAN AGREES

Stand, but I still press for photosynthesis at all of our stationary platforms.

p.s. In addition, Protoharvesters actually earn their cost within a day. They should be used as the other main form of income.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

As for photosynthesis we can build 5-20 brain triffids. Make new hive mind (old hive mind + all of the brain triffids) and upgrade old triffids to the state of our current Hive Mind (leaves, stonger acid and all other upgrades. We have done it once, we can make it twenty times)

It is a long term plan but it may be very effective.

Protoworkers earn ten times their cost....

I mean protoworkers. Sorry about that.

[Shades]

I mean protoworkers. Sorry about that.

We don't know what harvests get or cost though I think, so they might still be better. Also there has to be an upper limit the workers can collect for us.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

We have 3 major sources of biomass that protoworkers can't use

Scrabs (900kgs) Easy prey for harvesters and protosoldiers

Triffids (1000 kgs) Another easy pray.

and our main source -

Insect Biomass(2 species): 160 t. Shouldn't be hard to harvesters


Workers can only work with 50t of plants (+ corpses)... but we need plants(and corpses) to feed our main source of potential income : insects. So.. too many workers may  be very dangerous for us. We don't want to ruin ecosystem, yet

we need an update.

We ARE the ecosystem. So I say invest in food production instead of collection.

And honestly, with the infection form I was thinking more along the lines of the Flood than the Zerg.

If the host needs to balance it, he can make it take time - I doubt the humans here will no how to remove the creature that just crawled under their skin, after all.

The key is I want zombies.

[maxicaxi]

but did you not know thats what the zerg are?

The Xel'Naga were more successful with their second venture than they could have imagined. They laboured to advance the evolution of the most insignificant life form on Zerus, a race of miniature insectoids known as the Zerg. Through Xel'Naga proto-genetic manipulations, the Zerg survived the torrential firestorms of their world and thrived. Although extremely small, worm-like, and possessing no ability to manipulate their physical surroundings, the Zerg adapted to survive. They developed the ability to burrow into the flesh of the less vulnerable species indigenous to Zerus. Feeding off the nutrients contained within the spinal fluids of their hosts, the Zerg learned to parasitically merge with their host creatures. Once they became capable of controlling the metabolic and anatomical processes of their hosts, the Zerg used their new bodies to manipulate their surroundings.

I'm aware, I was just thinking Flood when I said it.
