[Flying Dice]

Regarding the weapons: people have been talking about how the lasers are shit, because the basic ones only do as much damage as a basic machete. Consider what you (or more appropriately, a well-muscled combat clone) could do to someone with a single swing of a sharp machete: you could inflict a serious, deep cut, or possibly take off a limb. That is not minor damage, and does seem to be roughly equivalent to a single shot from a low powered laser rifle in terms of abstracted damage output. The lasers have the added benefit of allowing us to engage from long range, whereas machetes would likely result in serious injuries or deaths among our clones. This is why the idea of a fast, agile combat clone with built-in weapons is probably better than a combat clone wielding melee weapons: we don't have to buy weapons, and we don't have to worry about recovering weapons if we're in a situation where our fireteam has to retreat.



Oh, and yeah, if we end up trying to take on APCs or MBTs with clones armed with nothing more than their own jaws and claws, then either we're the Zerg, or we're in way over our heads.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

You know all this talk of zerg and what not makes me think it may be a good long term idea to modify our own dna into a hive mind thing abondoning our frail body for something less... orthodox. Who will dare oppose us when we reside in the minds of all our creations? I'm think a cross between the zerg and the flood from halo.

Yeah, let's not pick a fight with space marines. That sounds like a terrible idea.

[kaian-a-coel]

If these three were to fight, my bet's on the middle one.

[forsaken1111]

If these three were to fight, my bet's on the middle one.

Indeed. Honestly I don't think the weapons of the other two would do much to power armor.

[Angle]

well, they've gpt power armor too. But yeah, still probably lose.

On that note, can we buy Power armor? I imagine it's incredibly expensive, but it might be nice to have some.

[yourfears]

there was something about robots earlier. wouldn't be a far stretch that there would be some kind of load lifting walker exoskeleton. modern military has a few in prototype stage and this is the future. im sure some1 has made them efficient and duct taped guns to it. or just completed power armor.

Turn 67

Colony:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This picture is large and may require a small amount scrolling to view unless you have a large monitor.

After starting to grow a 'minnion' clone for testing you send two groups of clones away. The first is two basics and a combat clone to go and plant a large amount of sprouts to the west while the second is one combat clone amd a combat GoRo to explore the area to the south-east.

You get one of the workers to make two plumpet wood fences and use them to make a ladder onto one of the accomodation modules. You figure it will serve as a good lookout post.

You send the rest of the workers to work in the mine.

Red tape says they have a stock blueprint for a  two storey warehouse that could be adapted for the purpose of housing clones using hammocks. It covers 3 tiles and can house 18 clones. The building will only cost 600 yollars but it doesn't come with the hammocks and isn't built to withstand an attack from armed opponents.

You currently have 85 yollars

Author Notes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Turns out i was feeling really lazy yesturday.

Once again i forgot to draw the cabbages.

If it's not to much trouble if i could get some real spcifics on what you want for  actual buildings (things like walls and pipelines don't really count since they aren't to complex) it would be nice. Things like rough paint (the program not actual paintings) floor plans or even an ascii thing would be nice. It's good to know what i am doing is exactly what you want.

I've decided to say yes to all of the ideas regarding making the clones unscannable. It's going to be a bit of a pain to not let you sell any clones until your actualy a really big company. So i'm thinking that if you sell a clone to a big company they will probabley steal it but if you sell to some other colony they probabely won't be bothered/ have the equipment to decifer the genetic code.

I figured you'd all want something cheap for housing at this point.

EDIT:

On that note, can we buy Power armor? I imagine it's incredibly expensive, but it might be nice to have some.

Probabley, I can see companies like Impex having some sort of equivilent anyway. Of course it would cost quite a fair amount, although it would basicaly make you a walking tank...

Right now i've been keeping the list of things you can buy fairly low. Firstly because it means i don't have to type as much secondly because a lot of stuff you woulnd't be able to buy anyway because it would be out of your price range and thirdly even as it is the list takes up quite a fair amount of space.

[yourfears]

i recommend we explore the other territory just next to our base we haven't a real picture of our local area yet just a chunk here and there almost nothing to the east.

refill the water levels on the agriculture machine. and get someone to start making concrete(powder?) our current fence is good only for a short delay from animals.

have ardin work on finding a way to speed up cloning times preferably without side effects

[Alternatecash]

I agree on trying to further accelerate the cloning process. How about a spiral search pattern with our armed clones? We might be able to find the LobsterWolf den, and... Remove the threat.

[Evil Marahadja]

My suggestions for this turn.

Let half the population keep on mining, and the other half develop our defences: strenghten the fence and build a watchtower in every corner of our base.

Ask kilo nile about a local map.

Any suggestions what we can sell?

[ansontan2000]

I suggest that was strengthen our defenses first.

[Tiruin]

I suggest that was strengthen our defenses first.

This.

I'm getting the fact from our Sixth Sense and the idea from Red Tape. Armed opponents sound a real threat to a colony like this.
