How many turns till we are fully bandit because I feel in that time we should churn out Power Armour and ammo before we loose the production bonus Corps normally get.
>>47954958
I think it's about that time.
I'm wondering if we use SAL and CEO together to try and scramble a deal with Matar Sec for their Combat Engineer Exoskeleton blueprints.
Rolled 2 (1d100)
Action 1
Begin manufacturing arms for our soldiers.
Our primary battle strategy will be trench warfare, defense, and slow forward pushes protected by artillery.
In addition, I want our army to represent what Maticio is. A focus on heavy, fast, and devastating firepower.
Arm all our soldiers with heavy machine guns, those with exoskeletons get Armor Piercing AT autocanonns, while even the lowest foot soldier will get something belt fed and a big ammo backpack to hook it up to.
Whenever we fight, you'll know it's us because everyone is firing full auto.
Action 2
CEO, SAL, start using our Mad Shop and Bandit Bazaar plus our corps manufactury and start making more deals with local bandits for resources

In addition to the Combat Engineering suits, we need to develop more infantry support vehicles.
Maybe use our Pre-fabricatino facilities plus some VTOL's and develop prefabricated pillboxes and RAGE turrets.
>>47958894
I've been telling everyone here for quite some time now, solar powered trucks / RVs / APCs with programmable factories built into allowing them to make simple shit (like bolt action rifles, revolvers, hand grenades, more solar cells, etc) so that we can just start improving huge areas and groups of people while making them dependant on us for supplies.
Just imagine it, we send a few vehicles out, carrying data-banks of blueprints, factories or salvaging / mining equipment and they are capable of setting up a small, fairly high-tech compound (e.g has electricity, running water, concrete structures and manufacturing capabilities).
Using machines like that we could become a literal wave of colonisation spreading out like a cancer over this world.
(Captcha was commercial trucks, we must obey!)
>>47959269
I am fully behind terraforming an area and yet our primary problem with that is being able to hold it against monsters and beasts and enemies.
What good are fields of green and grass and a haven in the waste if your enemies will just stomp on it.
I had hoped our artillery sufficient to protect our land and yet, with the battle with Omitar clearly not so.
>>47959477
That is what my plan is for, it sees us spread and grow in numbers to the point whereby our army would number in the hundreds of thousands.
Primarily I feel we should just try to expand out and unify groups under us however I wish to head away from the mega-city, except for the purpose of salvaging materials from it, and away from the mountains.
If we can increase our population five fold (which we could easily do by my method) then we could drown most threats under a wave of troops.
What we need to do is unify with a survivor group for their special ability of gathering resources more effectively. Then our factories can work constantly and consistently.
>>47959565
More like unify with a bandit group and go make survivor slaves perhaps.
From experience, numbers can only do so much.
We've had battles where we outnumbered the enemy and still took horrific horrible losses and still lost. I prefer strength through numbers and machines and supporting our numbers as far as possible with defenses and fortifications, just like Omitar did
>>47959597
Of course numbers aren't everything, however our tech is good and our training is pretty alright so numbers is an area to try and focus on.
As to the whole "enslave survivors" thing, I would point out that we don't need to be pointlessly evil. We just can't do "good" actions unless the benefits are far greater than the benefits of any other course of action.
Thus we can unify with survivors, using them as a front to trade with "good" groups and also to strengthen ourselves both numerically and resource wise.
>>47959807
Hey, I would LOVE to get the survivors to like us while still being bandits and working with them.
Yes there's no need to go out of our way to be evil, but just remember we're giving guns to bandits for a reason and it's not to go down range with survivors and share beers.
We wouldn't make good slavers anyway.
>>47959859
We would make great slavers, just not the common image of one, rather we'd do indentured servitude stuff where by people work in certain job for a certain time under certain conditions as payment or compensation for services and goods.
Also, we are giving bandits guns because in return they give us resources. Survivors are more effective business partners in that regard and thus we should aim to have them.
Therefore we can get survivors on our side but it'll be a hard relationship. Assuming you don't want to gift them tons of medicine, fuel and weapons.
>>47959947
One of the biggest problems I can see is when survivors find out we're selling guns to the people murdering them, also the madness, the brood, and other dark and evil shit.
I do wonder if there are like, bad survivors out there that are totally down with bandits, giving them food and stuff (willingly) in a mutually beneficial partnership.
>>47959978
I would assume such survivors exist.
As to us selling guns to the people killing them, that is a reason to work with us because we can get them to leave them alone! (or even to "protect" them) Though you do have a point about the brood but besides that it all seems fine as the mad people are all in our armed forces or tech departments, hardly the sort of people who are sane in the best of times.
I wonder if Genie will even recognize this thread is up

i don't even think we need to ask survivors to join us, we just need to get them to pay protection and force them to buy equipment/food/meds exclusively from us
>>47960692
Really I wish to change our name to;
"Maticuco solutions" - You need it? We got it!
+ Same name makes archives clearer
+ It is accurate to our play-style
- Is rather boring
"Red cog" - Be destroyed under the cogs of our machines or work them, either is good for us
+ Refers to our industrial capacity while also being a bandit sort of name.

>>47956716
As to the overpopulation and looking for new bases.
We still have a floating mountain that can be turned into a mobile fortress. Much bigger than a mobile base, which itself can hold thousands.
Why does nobody want to take advantage of this?
>>47962413
Partly because we've been dealing with more serious concerns until now but I suggest a different solution.
We do my plan outlined here >>47959269 which would also introduce us to more trade partners (read; victims).
>>47962413
Lack of resource and a desire to upgrade our technology first, then build a floating mountain.
As is our defenses and technology are still pretty shoddy after Omitar showed us, we can't even hold ourselves with 3 artillery bases.
Rolled 57 (1d100)
>>47962473
Aside from the concerns already brought up, there's little sunlight in our current area. Even if we do make those things work as intended, we'd have to get them beyond the mountain pass. Which while far from impossible would be a very annoying extra step.
>>47962546
Yeah, but our immediate concern is overpopulation, is it not?
In what way is sending Sarah to search for a new base a superior option to carving up the mountain to be a home?
There aren't a lot of prime bases just waiting for someone to move in. Why are we gambling on hoping we find one when we have a sure thing with the floating mountain?
>>47962727
Getting them past the mountains is easy, we have cargo carrying aircraft. Finding places to deploy the amount we could produce? Now that would be hard.
As to the problem of little sunlight, that is just one suggested power source, with one of the others being more traditional fuels or such.
Plus, there is always the backup plan but it requires we create massive underground drills that create the infrastructure to supply (with power, materials and coolant) them behind them as they drill. We'd then use those to create a giant underground network of towns like those of metro 2033 but larger, better supplied and more safe.
This would also link into my plan to be like the brotherhood of steel.
Rolled 85 (1d100)
>>47962873
How about this.
When we were moving, we started building behemoth-sized transports. We could modify that design, filling most of the space with the stuff you suggested.
We would either use traditional fuels, or install mini-reactors in them. Gaining the ability to produce mini-reactors would be a massive hurdle, but it would probably be worth it.

You know what? If no one wants to build a damn mobile fortress, can we at least change looking for new bases into looking for tribals to hire to find us new bases?

Oh my god man. Our artillery IS comparable to Omitar, he just had specialized rounds for it that we don't and he could deploy his troops using arty because they were machines who didn't need to worry about deceleration/acceleration trauma. It's like I said before, we just need specialized ammunition for all of our (rather decent/good already) tech.

Like, the actual structure/cannons of our fixed position artillery is pretty much MAXED OUT without Think Tank shit (even then the opportunity cost would be ridiculous for the amount of benefit). If you want to increase its potency research special rounds (Shieldpiercers, shieldbusters, specialized cluster munitions, seekers, etc.). You'll need Think Tank shit (and some ridiculously good computers) to do stuff like shooting other people's shots out of the sky.
But really we need to get something that ISN'T artillery up and running. Our weakness is that we have this one awesome strength, but no fulcrum (everything/anything else being decent) against which we can leverage it. Ask Biggy, I'm sure he'll agree.
Im pretty sure if we check out those two bases we found awhile back we could find a decent something...one had the OMITAR drones in but Im not sure what the other had.
Rolled 43 (1d100)
>>47963386

Wait. Not fine, because the whole point of going forward with the mountain plan now is that people will be able to live in it. Because we need somewhere people can live.
We can make it a superweapon later.
>>47963746
This, our artillery is strong but;
1) We lack a sufficient amount of it for it to be overwhelming (ignoring where point two is false).
2) We lack the rounds needed to deal with certain things like shields, psi and magic.
3) We lack a strong front line to hold the enemies in place for the shells to hit.
4) We lack sufficient defensive tech to resist counter-barrages or to destroy them before they damage us.
5) We can't supply enough anything to maintain constant fire policies on a large scale, ignoring the establishing of more reactors, ammo makers and such.
What we need is good machine guns, more troops, more ammo types, more effective infrastructure and far stronger shields.

Using the mountain as anything less than 100% military is a liability.
First of all, it increase its chance to be taken over and reduces it's capacity for armor and weaponry. It's much better served as a purely military superweapon to bomb and blast our enemeis, as well as defend us against enemy firepower through its body.
Put it between the enemy firepower and our people, rather than have our people on it.

Really? Having a lot of people in it makes it easier to take over?
Making it partially self-sufficient is a liability?
>reduces it's capacity for armor and weaponry
Does it though? It's a fucking mountain, it has a huge interior. Not even real life aircraft carriers are nothing but "armor and weaponry."
Just how many crew do you think it would take to man it? Are you planning on not having them sleep there, and rotating them out every few hours?
>Put it between the enemy firepower and our people, rather than have our people on it.
Yes, keep our people safe on the ground where most enemies can't reach us, while our impenetrable, uninhabited fortress floats imperiled above! /sarcasm
Rolled 55 (1d100)
>>47964455
Hey now, let's keep it civil. The Post-Apoc's got enough to throw at us without internal strife on the Board.
>>47964455
I'm saying that if we put cities of brick and stone on it instead of buildings of steel and concrete, barracks, armories, and hallways of steel it's going to fare the same when facing down an enemy.
We need an aircraft carrier, not a cruise ship.
Think of the difference between say, a Star Destroyer or the Death Star in comparison to a civilian craft or artificial planet of equal size. Both of them can house the same amount of people, but the former is covered almost entirely in guns and armor.
That being said, I am willing to entertain the idea of a militarized city akin to Cadia or perhaps pic related.
In any case arguing about what to do with the mountain isn't gonna help the fact that we don't have the resources to sufficiently do anything with it yet, let alone the lack of technology. We're going to need mountain proportioned thrusters to even so much as control it first.
>>47964455
A stary destroyer is 100% military function, but it is capable of housing, feeding, and maintaining a hundreds of thousands of people. It does however, ensure that it's entire superstructure is heavily armored with thick plates and weaponry and is capable of delivering massive blows against our enemies. That's what our mountain should be like. A 100% military weapon that can house our people but has the express purpose of being a war vessel.
The mountain itself is only stone and rock, easily blasted apart by explosives. Once we stockpile enough resources to melt into steel, we'll be able to sufficiently armor its exterior with thick armored plates.
Then we can build whatever we want on it.
I'm still in favor of giving the brood the floating mountain to turn into a brood ship.
It will be a grand super weapon and carrier.
Even better is us being bandits gives more attack power. Granted at cost to defense. Yet we can fix that. Having shield units and raiders. Each specialist in their respective areas.
Also we still have that mobile base. We could ask Ginny if we could me a bandit version. After all she made the corp one we have.
Rolled 44 (1d100)
>>47964538
Sorry, got a little carried away.
>>47964613
Okay. The thrusters are indeed an issue.
What I'm proposing is essentially starting by digging and building a bunker inside the mountain.
The bunker will remain a useful component of the fortress the mountain will eventually become.
>>47964708
Yes, exactly.
Basically, the mountain is too big to just suddenly turn it into a fortress. We'll have to build it one piece at a time, and I want to build quarters first because that's what we currently need.
>>47964764
Its big enough that we can let the Brood grow underneath it, and then have our own people live and dwell in the upper half.
This is good too because its underbelly would probably be it's weak spot. The Brood will be able to regenerate it down there. Also raining broodlings as well as bombs will be fun.
>>47964801
>We'll have to build it one piece at a time, and I want to build quarters first because that's what we currently need.
But that's what concerns me.
Imagine building a battleship section by section, just doing the engine and enough of the hull to float and sending it to war. "We'll build the other sections as we go along"
Again, is that really going to protect it from being boarded and taken over? How will it fare against other threats
Surely that's not more safer than just building it properly?
Rolled 28 (1d100)
>>47964807
That's actually an awesome idea.
I'm a little worried we'd need to forgo having our super-food on the fortress, since we warned to keep it far away from the Brood. Maybe it'd be fine if we kept it confined to the topmost areas?
Even if not, the trade-off would be worth it.
>>47964613
Yep, so admitting that we can't do anything with the mountain leaves us with a few plans;
1) "Bandit underground" - expansion underground using tunnelling machines and such
+ Very secure
+ Hard to attack
+ Hard to detect
+ Would give access to more resources after a little while (has to expand through exploited regions)
+/- Lack surface exits except through our current bases unless we build them.
+/- Harder to install SAMFAP's and such
- May encounter something we don't want to meet
- Would require developing new machines and stuff
- If one is compromised, then they are far harder too defend.
2) "Sky is the limit" - construction of towerblocks of housing, farming and other such things in our current area.
+ They don't risk encountering another black AI
+ Easy to do
+/- They will block some of cannons AOF but would provide a more secure front line.
- They risk straining the resources present past the point of being able to supply us.
- Can't be done endlessly
3) "Westward ho!" - Mass expansion using my mobile APC / RV / factory vehicles
+ Doesn't require revolutionary technology
+ Would expand rapidly
+ Would find new trade partners / targets
+ Would allow for new SAMFAP sites cost effectively
+ Would give access to new resources to exploit
+/- Would be at least partly on the surface
- Would risk finding a new threat
- Might be destroyed by raiders / enemies
- Would have to transport them away over the mountains.
4) "Who said airships were shit" - same as above but requires greater resource investment, doesn't need transport over mountains.
5) All of the above
Rolled 13 (1d100)
>>47964862
We're not going to send it into battle half-finished silly.
Ideally no one would even know what we're doing until after it's complete.
Again, if someone tries to board it and take it over, we WANT to have soldiers stationed there!
The only threats will be those that fly. Also artillery, but we can try to avoid that. Also make shields a high priority.
Also, if we can't stop people from finding out we're building on it, we can at least make sure they know that if they blast it apart with artillery then our new project will be kicking their shit in.
>>47965031
I like 3/4. We're long past the point where we should be sending out splinter factions anyway.
Remember we're on a massive bridge, with another bridge above us, and still another below. Those other bridges could be worthwhile, although we'd have to pay to use the railways.
Would it be possible to build on our "ceiling?"
>>47965213
I would assume so, however we'd need to be careful not to put to much weight on the bridge.
>>47965213
>Ideally no one would even know what we're doing until after it's complete
Well yes, but to complete it we're going to need to cover every square inch of it in thick armor plate backed up by the actual earthen monutain underneath. Plus the surface turets.
>Also artillery, but we can try to avoid that
Not if we intend to use it to defend our real cities from artillery by putting it in between them. It's going to be a warship after all.

My vision of the floating fortress is, well, basically the same. Not exactly a new home base, but our war center.
I still think we can build the habitation portion of the fortress soon.
What I think we should start with, though, is having Ginny, with varying degrees of help from pretty much all our other heroes, *design* the fortress that we want to make the mountain into.
We'll probably need to do surveying/exploration of the mountain along the way.

Addendum: I'm actually seeing it as sort "that which will remain when all else is gone."

Bandit vehicles have the trait of increased firepower and speed but decreased defense OR increased defense and offense but decreased speed.
Their vehicles are notorious for their firepower despite their lack of tech while often at the risk of the crew and gutting of the vehicle.
Bandit salvaging is second only to the Survivors. Typical bandit tech is either simple stupid...or evilly/MAD complicated. They don't really seem to use a middle ground and are fantastic at weaponizing random salvage.
Survivors meanwhile are fucking fantastic at repairing salvage.
Don't underestimate the offensive power of bandit tek despite their ramshackle appearance. Even paramilitaries best remember that.

I wasn't paying attention before, but for the last time, those were already existing bases that Omitar Black HACKED! (or persuaded to join him, but that's not the point)
>>47966315
Right, hmm.
They still were able to build stuff fast in the new bases they hacked over. Even if they were granted permission by the local bots.
>>47966315
No wait, those weren't the new bases. But they were already existing installations that Omitar Black previously saw no need to deploy.
>>47966342
True, but we build shit fast too. It took them several turns to build their superweapon, no quicker than we could if we had the materials and know-how.

That could either go very well or very badly.

That is a very common bandit design.
Those two bandit designs are in fact the bread and butter of bandit forces besides lots of infantry spam along with a dash of the Crazy.
Bandits use rather simple tactics or very insane ones.

Sal has successfully found some tribals who are available for hire. In fact they were surprisingly easy to find and admire our ability to 'tame' or 'live with' the monstrous Brood.
Bizarre but at least they shockingly friendly to such a degree that not even Sal could fuck it up. Good thing too given how hard they are to find and the CEO was able to swiftly show up to arrange things.
They are willing to work for us in exchange for armaments but no vehicles. They appear to be only interested in infantry related technologies.

Sarah claims to have gotten a hold of Biggy and supposedly the two bases we found before have been abondoned by the Omitar AI. One of them is however now overrun with zombies and the other monsters.
Until we realized those monsters were JAL forces whom he disguised. Biggy didn't realize it but Sarah was able to identify them much to JAL's misery.
Most bandits seem to be keeping their distance still except for the ones SAL found.
MAD reactor tech research has begun again. Except this time it melted into a pool of water, then blood, finally some goo. Ginny meanwhile kept her distance as much as possible.

>>>>>E. Build something
As per requirements for outlined expansion plans I suggest we build;
A few convoys capable of creating the needed buildings, tech, weapons, machines and tools for establishing new colonies.
These would be divided thus;
1) Reactor, manufacturing, data-bank, storage housing or bot carrying trucks.
2) APC's equipped with detachable turrets (to be fitted to the finished compound) and ammo production.
3) SPG's equipped with detachable SAMFAP's and ammo production.

My bad was kind in a rush since I been jumping on and off while at work. I not great with history or references to it. Just something things I remember well.

>>47966663
The idea was that they could go out establishing their own, new, bases or colonising damaged / abandoned ones, hell in some cases they could probably contest bases held by other groups.
>>47966671
They'd be able to construct, on site, anything they might need (within reason like solar cells, factories and such). The idea being they go out creating small starter-colonies of walled-off concrete buildings with SAMFAP's which can then slowly expand themselves without our assistance. Not to mention allowing for greater power projection, trade and such.
Then we'd engage stage two; "Rails of progress" - construction of above / below ground rail connections between sites.
That would be followed by stage three; "EU 2; the electric boogaloo" - exploiting other groups (survivors, tribals, bandits, etc) for labour and resources while unifying with them.
>>47966671
>"bandits can't create their own supply"

That isn't the only difference;
With a base kit, you get a certain kind of base filled with certain structures that will be consumed in one use.
Meanwhile with the convoys, bases and buildings can be constructed on the fly and repeatedly used. Not to mention their utility for trading with groups lacking industrial or technological capacity (because they can make guns, ammo, tools, machines and power stuff).

The brood tech...well technically they do have that sorta thing according to JAL its just meant for their own brood usage. Which aren't entirely compatible. That was until a bored Joy while JAL was busy tampering with them and fighting with broodmother decided to wander off.
While those two were fighting Joy grabbed a bunch of brood organisms and tore out a bunch of growths putting them in a pile before testing them out. When she realized some weren't working right Joy found the brood organisms that made them function properly then forcefully tearing them apart and using copious amounts of brood healing stuffs until it finally started to work. After that she piled them off and dragged them back to base.
When our forces noticed and asked Joy simply said
"New weapons and ammo...which regenerate."
Which was true.
...Well they are sort of alive the things she somehow found and put together.
JAL was oddly impressed by the solution while the broodmother was horrified over the torn apart brood organisms. Stating that all you needed was to ask about the internal self supplied weaponry.
Our forces aren't entirely sure what to make of the strange weaponry and their 'ammo'. Often self supplied from the greater organism itself. Didn't stop Joy from making it work anyway.
Much of the technology is now damaged. Apparently the Omitar AI made sure to cripple it on his way out if he couldn't take it with. So we did our best to repair alas a lot of those ruined systems were priceless.

It's a bit hard to explain but trying to use MAD actions for reasonable things primarily will likely backfire. However, using MAD for the sake of MAD then figuring out how to make it profitable (like our Mad shop) usually works.

Jarzi, let us in yuo on a little project of ours. You know Supply Units? Perhaps' you've seen them.
These things were made in the Old World, fantastic things of vast materials and resources from between planets that is no longer possible to make.
However, that doesn't mean we can't try to expy them. We're trying to research psudo-supplies, to make the most out of resources and materials we can into something that confers even a minor stat boost.
To put it plainly, if Supplies are the old world equivalent of Flamethrowers, and resources are the matches that people trade in the new world, then we want to reinvent the lighter. Something we can make from resources that will give soldiers some value.
Right now all we need are minifabricators and a good enough computer to make it. But perhaps we can speed up the process with some brood integration.
You're very good with ideas. Maybe you can come up with something to help make that goal a reality, something the brood can do to input into our project like nutrients or synthetic materials or something we can add to our psudo-supplies. Everyone LOVES your food stuffs after all.

Maybe supply units are like TF2 dispensers or those dispensers from FNV in Dead Money. They just make what is needed but have a limited amount they can make.
Rolled 6 (1d100)
>>47968845
...the reason why supply unit is so valuable is because of how advanced the tech is inside of them.
If it was just a big crate of food, water, medicine, ammo, parts ect? Would it really be seen as that valuable?
No of course not.
The reason why Supply is so valuable is due to the very advanced and special tech that is packaged with some valuable materials. A supply comes with tech that can identify any part and make copies of it. Even if the part is gone or even missing! The medicines it produces are analyzed carefully according to the individual. The rations it carries are super dense and healthy. The ammo and other items it contains are all pre fall quality goods meant for long term storage. It contains a wide array of fuels carefully stored and the munitions it contains are programmed according to whatever is needed.
Alas supply are consumable.
As for treating resources...only a megacorp can do anything with a treated resource, because the versality of it is melted down in exchange for higher performance, Due to a megacorp's industrial ability this isn't a problem for them AND makes it so their resources are useless to anybody else.
>>47968921
Pretty much and once their exhausted they self destruct because corps were greedy like that.
It also helps the material feeds needed for it aren't easy to find at all.
>>47968927
Well shit. There dies my idea of streamlining supplying the Rejects and others in exchange for resources.
There's no way we can even remotely approach that, even if we were a think tank, is there?
We'd have to do everything one at a time. We'd have to catalog the parts and ammo someone is using and then make them. Invent or aquire medicines on a case by case basis. Make rations from scratch.
That makes everything so much more complicated and tedious.
>>47968927
>>47968963
It sounds to me the biggest bonus of Supply units is being able to instantly analyze the need and then fabricate into reality what is needed.
The "make something into thin air" part from whatever mysterious materials are used is probably out of grasp, but maybe we can try to develop analyzing tools that we can program into our existing machines?
Like, an analyzer that can scan any machine or weapon and make a digital mold of replacement parts or ammo. Or a medical scanner that scans a persons' body and illness and then gives data we can use to create medicines for.

How do we know they are shady?
They got pet zombies. Literally.
Admittedly a very effective security system and the only reason they came out was when they noticed us looking around for Think Tanks. They offered to do some work for us.
They just so happen to have some very effective bio scanners alas they admit their non bio scanners is rather lacking. They also warn that should we try to scan something with countermeasures the consequences could very well not be pretty.
The corps are after all very fond of their copyrights and the governments of their secrets. They gave us a crate of their scanners in exchange for some manufactured armaments. They told us to watch out as some zombies can pretend to be not infected. They claim more then a few survivor holdouts have fallen because of that.
A non bio analyzer tool is something they admit will take some work. Their scanners are in fact extremely effective even good at spotting biomods and different infections. It can even analyze at the genetic level. Clearly some very high end scanners...which indicated that some of our people are carrying some kind of brood organisms inside of them.

Rolled 18 (1d100)
I agree that expansion over land is the key to alleviating our massive overpopulation issue. But if we're going to expand land, we need to train to HOLD land.
It's time we taught our infantry how to fight.
Action 1
CEO, before we research soemthing that might already exist, go out and see if we can't hire our services to buy us an Automated Land Trencher blueprint, able to instantly dig up trenches, lay down lines of sandbags, pile up earth walls, seed barbed wire into the earth and lay down mines.
Action 2
We need to train our infantry how to go out and fight. It's time we hired the real people who know how to fight.
CEO, go to Matar Sec and request two things: The Combat Engineering Exoskeleton designs, and some one to help train our forces how to fight in this region against natural enemies and hostiles out there as part of expansion.
We will help their lack of numbers with up to 15k soldiers who will be transferred to them, in addition they can request of us manufactured items using either a rare resource or a rare construction material. Alternatively we can also make medicine, we just got some new bioscannesr and could try them out on any sick or wounded. We also have DELICIOUS new food to offer as well, just don't ask where it came from.
We want our army to be trained how to fight the surrounding area and hold ground. So we can expand our township
After this, we will begin expansion via lines of trenches and defenses that move outward, leaving behind cleared and patrolled land.
Rolled 96 (1d100)
>>47980711
Let me assure you that this is a horrible idea. Matar Sec will outright reject our offer and be offended at it, then be forced to counterattack us (keep in mind they're one of the richer paramilitaries in the area) to maintain their reputation against bandits because they run one of the train lines.
Also we need to deal with our pop NOW, one way or another. Not in a few turns.

"Ginny, Lord of War, quick question. About how much are we overpopulated by now? How many turns of construction, I mean, and do we have the space to house all our people if we build the way we've been?"
Does anyone have an updated map?
>>47980848
I shall support your plan but must make a suggestion.
My plan accommodates what your plan wants to achieve in it's capabilities already. The idea behind them was that we would send them out to scouted out locations where they'd salvage and / or mine the needed materials from the surroundings. They are meant to be a "mobile factory" separated into multiple vehicles, backed by mining, salvaging, construction, combat, power, storage (of information, gear or resources), robot transports, housing and other such vehicles.
Thus your plan is completely achievable, assuming we can create them. Because the mining vehicles and bots can dig trenches, feeding any gathered resources into the mobile factory while salvaging units remove any pre-existing structures. The heavy weapons, SAMFAP's and such, being brought from the armed escort or made on site.
There is also the fact that these have utility for trade, seeing as they are meant to produce simple, reliable tools and weapons (bolt-action rifles, grenades and mortars) for the creation of outposts.
They were meant to be "fire and forget" colonisers, things that'd passively just expand us.
>>47981194
You're wanting to create nomad factions.
It's going to be a bit of a project (see: a big one) but I like it. It'd let us shed all this fucking excess pop that's got us down while netting us allies everywhere.
>>47981194
I like that idea a lot. Armored Mining Convoy and Establishment vehicles.
If we can make it work it solves the key problems we have right now, a lack of resource.
Our problem always seems to be one bit thing, a lack of military power, a lack of resource, or a lack of technology. Sometimes we have fantastic resources but no military for it, but now we have a bigass military but no resources for it.
Hmm, MAYBE we can convert our nat100 cargo transports for the job?
>>47981296
They're probably a good basis to stuff this shit into. The problem is stuffing all this real juicy shit into them, and then them surviving for any time at all without falling prey to something or another. We'd literally have to equip and create them as their own splinter factions for them to have a chance and then wish them well as they head off.

They are't meant to be nomads, they are more like the groups the Brotherhood of steel sent out to find technology and shit.
They are meant to go out, get set up and contact us. They then supply us resources, troops, trade opportunities (with them and their neighbours) and we supply them with additional industrial capacity, trade goods and a powerful overlord for protection.
The longer term plan is that we then develop a series of subterranean transport networks between them and us. Thus allowing us to act like one base.
There was also the point of them providing both a fall back point if we screw up and also additional sites for SAMFAP's.
>>47981296
The cargo vehicles we have are mostly airborne in nature. They could be used but have also got uses for transporting things to and from the colonies to us, plus they let us get land vehicles over the mountain.
Rolled 76 (1d100)
Action 1 + 2
"Okay, gentlemen, we need to solve the resource problem.
We don't have Preemo anymore unfortunately, so we're lacking in a steady income of resources and that is signficicantly hindering our industrial capacity.
But we do have one thing, manufacturing capability AND enough construction materials to make something happen.
The land around us is still rich in resources, if not in mineral resources since the old world corps drained everytihng, then wrecks, ruins, and scraps. entire mountains of steel out there, just waiting to be harvested.
We propose the creation of the first Mega Miner. Perhaps behemoth sized or larger, meant to extract a steady and continous flow of resources and materials to suit our needs.
We're not sure where to begin, but today is good. CEO, see if there aren't any Think Tanks or Mekshops out there with some designs of techs we can use. Ginny, Pilot you're our vehicular engineers and can help us with blueprints.
Jarzi, maybe your brood can give us scouting broodlings to help us locate resources or potential resources that can be extraced by the Mega Miner.
JAL, we'll need this thing automated as much as possible, run by bots to harvest things from the earth.
This is meant to be our new Preemo source of regular income, even if it's only 1 a turn it's exactly what we need."
