I have the foolz link on my laptop, I'll postitwhen I have access to WiFi.

Suggestions from last thread by priority

>Nigh Essential
Some lightly or medium armored hazmat suits for collecting hazardous plants and collecting samples in hazardous environs.

Spewers of some sort (radiation preferred, as it will kill but not destroy biomass) for general usage against jungle enemies.
Acquiring spewers spidertanks was also discussed, though they are likely to be much more expensive.

> Other stuff
Wintadooms from the bandit civ.

Various memor tech that is likely too dangerous for us to handle.

D BMs from the bandit civ instead of spewer weapons.


It deserves noting, though, that all the traders will be around for at least one turn. The Marcus buddies don't deal in non-resource non-weapons/armor much,but the other caravans should so we could trade our medicine to then in exchange for trade goods for Marcus. We can also gather more plant matter (recommending stuff from the compound so that the zombie fungus has less stuff to infect) for more resources for trade.

Also, Genie has not provided any info on the other two traders except that one of them has Grow Corp markings. That one is probably the true reward of the 100, we just need to figure out how to use it.

>>30959451
Wasn't our pop 145?

But other than that I think our best bet is to get some haz-mat suits and I think we wanted sulfur.

Our military is 28 or 38 too. Hazmat suits are a must-have, we can grow plants to get sulfur from though. That aside, why would traders carry around stocks of chemicals like that? Dont be silly.

I don't think smokeless powder uses sulfur.

Foolz is still down, but I had the tab pulled up.

>>30959451

Could we get a resource price on a bundle of 50 hazmat suits (lightly armored, or medium armored) 10-20 radiation spewers, (how much to throw a plasma ST in there)?

How much do DBMs cost by resources?

Can we get any info on the other two traders or the Grow group?

Gunpowder does exist granted a lot of industry has fallen apart what is left is considered quite valuable.

50 hazmat suits lightly armored is 1 resource medium is 2.
10-20 radiation spewers will cost 2-4 resources
DMBs cost 2 for 1 resource.

Plasma Spider Tank is 2 resouces.

Wandering merchant caravan belongs to the Dalgin Family the trader heading is known as Jerry.
Second caravan is a mutant caravan the only one which goes through the wastes they even deal with the likes of bandits and are affiliated with some slavers.
The GROW group is but are likely to be connected to Director Herb or the other group.

>>30960312
There is a biofuel refinery, fuel storage, and fertilizer facility is known to us. Unfortunately they are all pretty compromised.

>>30960367

Compromised by zombies or plants?

When we opened the storage containers with zombies in them, did we close them up again afterwards? Do we know the locations of containers with former native zombies in them?

How about that shifty, unknown group?

If we chopped away at Z-Spore (that's what I'll call the non-native zombie spores) infected foliage around our tower, would it be likely that the zombies would notice?

So somebody mind filling me in about this rp? Seems badass but I dun get half the shit you guys are talking about.

>>30960574
There isn't any basically I throw the players in blind within my setting. With every civ i change things around so that way one doesn't have to go through all the previous civs though it does help but its not required is the goal.

backstory wise The Fall as the event that caused the Apocalypse happened about the time of this world's(Not Earth) experiencing the singularity but there are a number of key differences beyond just that.This doesn't take place on earth otherwise certain shit wouldn't be feasible making it less fun.

Basically the Fall fucked shit so hard you now have people with just sticks and stones side by side with fuckers in power armor equipped with energy weapons.

>>30960629
100 flamers for 1 resource point.

>>30960685
For basic hazmats yes.
elemental depends but depending on the grade and the weapon in question.
Chain choppy bits depends(what do you want exactly)?

Chainaxes painted red for a bunch of speedy khornate gardeners.

On a more serious note, what's a splice slice?

Rolled 6

>>30960791
Splice Slices is the coined street term basically it allows you to take a slice of whatever you want then splice it into whoever you want safely and quickly.

They can come uncoded allowing you to decide what to extract or precoded.

Very naughty stuff it allows not mutants to become a stable strain and allows mutants to easily acquire mutagens/share them.

believed to be very valuable and very rare of course they tend to be quite frowned up...if its extreme that is. Kinda hard to say no to the stuff that can make you immune to radiation with just a slice you know or save your kids from genetic diseases you know?

First of all, acquire the 50 medium armored hazmat suits for 2 resources...they can't be bright ass orange okay? At least a normal shade of green or something. (I think we had 3 res at the end of last thread due to you forgetting about the tribals' delivery. If so, acquire 100 flamers too)

Then
> Basic 1
Collect most of the infected (with Z-spores) plants in an area around our tower(and a path to outside the infected area). The goal is just to reduce the prevalence of fungus in our vicinity, so it doesn't need to be every single infected plant. The guys doing this should be in hazard suits.

If, after a small test run, the recyclers can handle the infected material without ill effect then recycle it. If it'll boost yield then (at medical discretion on danger, and taking the tribals' advice on the wisdom of handling this stuff) send men out after the majority of infected materialhas been cleared by hazmat guys to prune in the less infectious environment (all precautions possible being taken, and again this section being wholly optional and done if its safe).

The color depends on what their meant to deal with. GROW corp suits are unsurprisingly colored green. Thanks to them being armored however you go have some color options available to you. Flamers have been acquired as well.

With manpower limits we were only able to acquire the infected plants located near the tower.

When we tested them with the recyclers there were noticeable hick ups due to it not being designed for fungi as is our plant harvesting ability is a special quirk. That was at least before it got locked down.

Is there indication they are mobilizing against the fungus zobies?

Rolled 64

>>30964277

We can do that or we can check down in the basement (looking for the secret Grow project) that I suspect was responsible for the native zombies (and for them not attacking us that one time). The native sort of zombies (according to the tribals) usually hold their own against these zombies, and so its likely it has some way of combating them (or it couldsummon aid against the fungus, providing a 1-2 punch when combined with the lichen.)

However I thought of that before the tower fucked up the underground HARD so diplomacy with whatever is down there may no longer be an option. We could persuade it that the fungus is a bigger threat, but...thats never worked in the past.

>>30964416

The tribals just know the local bandits the Strok Crack Raiders and the local Simmer Outcasts sect are mobilizing. Not unsurprising really whenever the local raiders come back they also make sure to go around the neighborhood so to speak being going back home. According to the tribals this is actually the homeland of the raiders they tend to be gone most the time. What is odd however is the fact that the outcasts are moving at the same time as them.

Zombie wise there is still in fighting going on between the new comer and the fungi.

Some people might question giving themthe resource at a time like this...but we had to get a crit on being nice to them to get them to work for us willingly after we broke a deal with them before...I wwouldn't advise it again.

>>30964610

Hmm, if they are revisiting the area they'll probably scout around for juicy targets then hit them.

Generally though, NPCs will advance with an army that has scouts strewn out before it. The army will be matching on a pre-verified target of interest.

The upside to this is that it takes them time to move. The double upside is that we're in a jungle so they're likely to be even more slowed.

I won't make a call one way or another on whether we have the time to manufacture some drugs, but...my vote goes to gathering this turn.

You guys are starting to worry me now with this act.

Rolled 71

Its standard practice for factions to throw out the members that commit heinous acts. We've only been in control for a little while, but previously (and other grow factions) will have been throwing people out regularly.

Also, Grow seems to be rather united under Dictator Herb. We're the exception rather than the rule in that we aren't under his thumb.

"Oh I don't know about you all die yeah or better sell yourselves to the slavers?"


Next time don't be so damn cruel with your words.

>>30965867
okay ;_;
>mfw I wasn't even trying to be cruel at all

Maybe we should just learn from these factions and just be like:
>"WE'RE GOING TO FUCK ALL YOUR SHIT! WE ARE GOING TO RIP YOUR HEADS OFF AND SHIT DOWN YOUR THROATS MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH!"

Seems to work for them and has always been capable of intimidating us.

>>30965867
At the rate we are going i want to push being cruel. But my word play is kind of poor. But on a side note we probably should suit people up in the armor we throw a few zombies at them. Get the flamers out and blast them when they turn corners and fall back. Getting to a put of bottle necking them in the tunnels.

>>30965752

Oh! We're so sorry we didnt recognize you! You're the travelling troubadour nomads we JUST met, aren't you? Haha, good god we're sorry about that. Come in, come in. We'll give you the same as last time for the show. I must admit, your new bits about the butchered sister guy and zombie bait girl THREW ME OFF but DAMN your dedication to the act makes it so much funnier now.

>>30965706
>but nah man you seriously think were gonna let you go bandit?
"You call yourselves Outcasts, willing to accept anyone.

Now you are approached by someone asking for acceptance and you would outcast them.

Sure you realize you go against the very thing you claim to be."

>>30965950
I wonder what a conversation is like two stubborn NPC bandit factions who talk like that is like.

Nah, it was being nice (and not recognizing them) that got them all sad.

Rolled 31

>>30965866
Sad part is its not actually that uncommon for someone to get thrown out even with commiting heinous acts.

>>30965950
To be fair they were most likely going to do that anyway due to them being bandits.

>>30966001
I...what? You...are really fucking crazy or stupid. Hey Rolf YOU SURE THIS ISN'T SOME SORT OF MEGAPRISON FOR THE CRAZED?"

"NAH MAN NOT SINCE I WAS HERE IT WASN'T. MIGHT BE SOMETHING DOWN BELOW THOUGH."

You do know they have a point right I mean we may be bandits but that doesn't mean we have to be hypocrites.

I said destroy EVERYTHING SCREW THE LOOT AND RAPE. I WANT IT ALL GONE!

I don't understand really. Why you hate us, I mean, I actually kinda like you guys a lot. You've got real potential.

I see your point.

and that isn't EVEN including the fact that they are a megacorp willing to throw away their precious ability to trade like a bunch of mofos you know? That alone...

But but I DON'T WANNA RECRUIT THESE CRUEL ASSHOLES!

They did all that shit because they were all CRAZY YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

You SURE you want to go bandit you do know that will end this civ right? Granted you would have the option to play the result next starter but still.

>>30966399

I don't. Do we have any fungal booster stuff on hand?

>>30966399
Man I don't even know anymore, I was just hoping we could solve this diplomatically.

At any rate I don't see any possibility of us fighitng back militarily as far as I know, we are up the creek without a paddle.

I'd rather not end the civ though.

>>30966399
(I'd rather stick with the GROW corp)

>>30966443
Yeah....the only thing I can think of is blowing our critfail recipe up in their faces, seeing as we fucked selling them drugs by being so mean.

Can anyone here think of a legitimate way we can beat these guys with force?

If not, consider would you rather really die as Grow Corp, or live as these guys?
I don't know why but I'd prefer the former for some reason

>>30966480

Well I think you might also like being the Saguaro cactus mutants in a wasteland though.

Which is what I'd vote for next civ.

>>30966399
Do we have a idea of their numbers?

>>30966501
Maybe but i need to know some things. But we do have fire and the tunnels.

Rolled 99

>>30966510
That wasteland is pretty nice one compared to some of the others.

>>30966533
At least 100 or so.

>>30966501

Lure the zombies onto them, blow up whatever is in the basement and hope it gets pissed.

I agree though. It'd feel good to not sell out our principles once.

>>30966541
Yeah, I never really came up with more for it.

I probably wouldn't go for that waste though, because low tech civs seem to be a recipe for low population.

Rolled 96

>>30966553
When have you?

>>30966553
It's sad really, they do have a sliver of a moral cause to being "the acceptors of everyone when you've got no one else to turn to"

Still, the only real reason it's easier to succumb to death in this case is because there's little promise of the things we usually like. Power, wealth, knowledge.

If another megacorp (besides Umbra, who I will refuse to believe have any credibilit to their offers) were to show up and wave a wad of cash or shiny new tech, we'd be head over heals for them.

>>30966541
Cool.

One idea i have is we do a team attack with The Damor Tribe. Give them some flammers and haz-mat suits and a medical base set up for them when we get the resources to do so.

>>30966590
If only we could get them join us instead of us joining them. They'd be able to reconstruct their image and be accepted back into society.

>>30966573

Vault 101

And generally whenever it's advantageous.

>>30966633
I can't have been the only one dissapointed that we never actually did get to work with Umbra directly. Even on like, missions or something. They just dropped us into their trashbin.

@Banditdude:
Is there someone else we can talk to?

>>30966693
>If you did you would most likely be considered bandits.
Well that's the catch isn't it? It'd be about helping them find redemption and that they won't be treated as bandits any longer, but accepted.

But whatever, it'd be interesting to have pulled it off. A moral victory is much sweeter than an military one.

>>30966676

I was just disappointed that we never really got to have any fun with them. So much potential...I hope we see them again, as solemn figures who no one can ever hurt due to crippling sadness at the sight of them.

Or whatever really. It sucks that we've not had a Civ go over 6 threads since Genie resumed.

We still got a chance with the tribe and the tunnels. Not ever one has to throw plague at them. Some of the bandits way try to come for us yes. But if we can have the CEO lock the items we can't take. They will be in a bad spot as well and maybe we can counterattack.

We never seem to have the resources or the peace for science projects, even if they are all around us. . .and to boot, this jungle is supposedly less dangerous with few enemy factions.

Rolled 2

>>30967701
The tribals accept your offer saying that to avoid killing of bandits will put even more innocence in danger. There they led a force of zombies by using noise to attack the perimeter of the force. Thus diverting some of their manpower to deal with the forces. That was when the tribals stroke hitting the enemy and then vanishing much more this pushed the bandits away from the jungle's edge where they took the most casualties.

They retreated closer to us. Unfortunately the roasted terrain got rid of much the tribals were most familiar with using and though they were somewhat familiar with the terrain their usefulness plunged. Still though it looked like the bandits were barely hanging on.

Meanwhile our own forces took to battle in the tunnels once some explosions occurred rocking the very tower as the bandits began to swarm him. Luckily we had them a in a choke-point. Unluckily the bandits were not too afraid to burn up their rarer munitions. So after a hail of explosives they were able to breakthrough.

Enemy hero detected.

and so the argument continued but then a strange creature crept forth carrying with it a strange plant that then spoke.

Why hello there gentlemen names is Phil Bloomingdale the First, introduced the talking plant in a potted pot somehow smoking a pipe.

In unison all the figures there said a very simple thing.

" We MUST have it!" And so they completely and utterly forgot about what they had previously been doing.

"Care to have some crumpets and some Wallflower tea", asked the Phil having somehow acquired all the necessary items including a table and chairs seemingly formed by the surrounding flora.

There they had tea team in middle of scorched earth and jungle but most miraculously of all they were not fighting for once.

Don't forget to archive...just couldn't resist not introducing the talking plant hero you missed(yes I am sorry but I couldn't resist okay). The plant was meant to be a truly impeccable bred true well mannered scholar of the highest calibah.

>>30968746
I remember we used to actually care about our citizens. How they lived their lives, debates on what kind of society they had, how the hivemind affected them and their happiness. We were angry when our first people were sent to war and killed, sad when Ramona and her crew sacrificed themselves, laughed when Richard deleted their sexual memories, amazed by the explosion of the Ghouls based on our example. We'd host celebrations for our people. They weren't expendable or acceptable losses they were faces, even in spite of the fact we had more than any other civ.

Now our few people are just numbers and statistics in a game for survival we are always trying to win, to live up to a past glory we can never really achieve. We lose half our pop in a nat1 scouting run, we just stoically roll with the punch and trudge on.

V101 was at least a way to vent this, but only because of how extreme it was.

Rolled 51

>>30968819
Perhaps that is precisely why its not turning out as before?

You view them differently and thus differences arise.I for one learned my lesson when it came to voicing my opinion for future civs and will never do so again. Not to mention poor planning and having a 'fuck it' attitude. Are some of the differences I have noticed.

Truth be told I was only nice in the very beginning of the Memor up to thread 5 or so as by that time I knew I was established according to my research on how civ/quest threads work.

>>30968858
>having a 'fuck it' attitude
It hurts less to do it this way. Because we have oodles upon oodles of examples that we are and will lose, it is inevitable, no matter how hard we fight.

We cared for the people of V101 a lot with all our hearts and fought fiercely for them.

That didn't do them any good, they got their asses handed to them all the way to the end and it was only by dice god intervention they could call a victory.

When you don't have any victories or achievements to call your own for extended periods of time losing, even players can get demoralized. I mean, we didn't even make a single bit of new technology this game, just scraped for resources and traded for a few vehicles.
the reapearance of Marcus & Markus was neat though, but again if we only had time and resources to see what they could do

>>30968889
>>30968858
Granted, I'm probably just extremely depressed right now at yet another shortlived civ. I'm sure next tuesday I'll be ready to invest in a new one and fight for it, even if its predestined to last no longer than a couple of threads.

We should be thankful grow corp lasted to thread 4. It was more than any of us could hoped for.

>>30968858
It just doesn't make sense to invest heavily in the characters if it always feels we should just be focusing on survival, and the overbearing dread that we won't last long as the result of previous experience doesn't help either. We didn't even get to scratch much of the plot at all, we were confined to the tower.

The Fungus, the Buddy Dub Banditos, the Salkin Refinery, heck even the Tribals, we'd never had the chance learn about them in depth.

And now we never will. They'll just be names and descriptions.

In that case i would suggest a paramilitary group if you want to not die and get a better feel for it. I would suggest mutants but your not yet really for that still.

After the failure Adero and the Brood? I wouldn't believe to be ready for it either.

Rolled 98

>>30969057
I WOULD suggest Bots but you suffer diplomacy penalties AND are utterly dependent upon resources/materials.

>>30969072
Which is exactly what ocurred the last time we played bots as well, completely dependant on resources we couldn't get, though we were lucky to have met the Chaka who were friendly despite the penalties. That one was particularly short, I have little faith the next will be different.

Rolled 87

>>30969086
yeah but bots become pants shittingly scary if they have access to plenty of resources.

Mutants are fucking terrifying if they can are given time enough to mutate they WILL become the bane of your very existence.

Paramilitary is scary if you can't pin them down which is even scarier then if you can get them at even a fortified position.

Tribals will fuck you if you fight them on their turf and god help you if they know the terrain better then you do.

Corps will out produce you so hard they'll drive you into the ground. Not to mention they can reverse engineer anything short of top of the line Pre Fall or Think Tank grade.

Think Tanks can churn out such level tech that it would be considered better then even top of the line Pre Fall tech. While still being fordimable in their non specialty.

Survivars are like cockroaches there is always ten more for everyone you kill and their seemingly impossible to wipe out. Not to mention those scavenging bonuses.

Zealots morale cannot be broken have fun fighting a foe who just wont STOP no matter what you do to them.

Cultists are scary because they have access to special lore.

Governments are balanced but tricky. While you may start off a jack of all trades this can be tricky to keep/master and will likely change depending on player actions, but their chosen specialty has a much larger effect range.

>yeah but bots become pants shittingly scary if they have access to plenty of resources.
Complete and utter failure in our only attempt, died in the single thread. We are not good at that.

>Mutants are fucking terrifying if they can are given time enough to mutate they WILL become the bane of your very existence.
Something about Memor was just right. Adero and the Brood? Not so much especially the latter.

>Paramilitary is scary if you can't pin them down which is even scarier then if you can get them at even a fortified position.
You seem to recommend this

>Tribals will fuck you if you fight them on their turf and god help you if they know the terrain better then you do.
Never played this

>Corps will out produce you so hard they'll drive you into the ground. Not to mention they can reverse engineer anything short of top of the line Pre Fall or Think Tank grade.
Adero was caught in the wrong mix of mutant. This one was just due to our ignorance on the matter.

>Think Tanks can churn out such level tech that it would be considered better then even top of the line Pre Fall tech. While still being fordimable in their non specialty.
There is little else to say of Vault 101 that they only survived by miracles and never really did get much tech due to being unable to balance resource lack and constant danger. We don't know how to run a Think Tank at all.

>>30969224
>Survivars are like cockroaches there is always ten more for everyone you kill and their seemingly impossible to wipe out. Not to mention those scavenging bonuses.
We had to sell ourselves as slaves just for survival, which works as survivors, but doesn't make much of a civ

>Zealots morale cannot be broken have fun fighting a foe who just wont STOP no matter what you do to them.
Yet to try this. Not exactly optomistic based on incompetent the example of the only Paladins we met and you directly stating they naturally an attract and aggravate

>Cultists are scary because they have access to special lore.
This could be interesting.

>Governments are balanced but tricky. While you may start off a jack of all trades this can be tricky to keep/master and will likely change depending on player actions, but their chosen specialty has a much larger effect range.
If it's tricky and requires precise balance and expert decisions, I'd love to watch but not touch it with a 10 foot pole

>>30969236
*you directly stating they naturally an attract and aggravate baddies to themselves

>>30969246
Most zealots are NOT considered paladins.

Government is tricky as that 'balance'/jack of all trades it has going for it makes people avoid it. Understandably so. Really though if its ever used I highly doubt it will stay balanced as focusing is likely to occur.

If your truly worried about weaknesses they are an excellent choice as they then allow you to branch off from there.

>resources all around us
>this jungle is supposedly less dangerous with few enemy factions.
>we had so much potential for superscience moreso than any other so far.
This, all of it.
I hope we get lucky again with the terrain dice next time

>>30971323
I think that it was kind of our fault; we were so worried about the other factions that we didn't harvest resources and build ourselves up enough for when they did come around.

>>30971354
There's no other modus operandi than tiptoeing around enemy factions, everywhere we go there will always be people wanting to piss on your corpse for no reason, such as right now.

The forest is alive and fights back. Had we just started chopping down trees left and right we probably would've attracted these guys or worse in the Jungle and sooner gotten ourselves killed.

Well I'd vote for cultists personally, it sounds more interesting than militia and less hopeless than most.

Also, how do I find the next thread?

>>30971654
Should be next thursday as usualy.
Actually, I also had cultists in mind. Espeically after the inspiration of these "outcasts"

>>30971993
*next tuesday

>>30971449
If that was the case then there was no way of surviving; it was either trigger the enemies earlier but be stronger or trigger them later or be weaker but face them later.

>>30972627
That maybe, but I scant remember a time when we triggered enemies so early and survived.

I mean, to be fair V 101 was only in danger because of constant catastrophes that necessitated the miracles.

I would hope he'd wait until Saturday at least, that way we can all recharge from the loss of another promising civ.

But, it's not like I'll be much more energetic about it even if he did so meh.

Aku Tech
> Megacorp/Cultist Hybrid

Long ago in a distant land We, Aku tech, the robotics-specialized sections of darkness (and incredible customer service!) Unleashed an unspeakably evil business model! But a foolish Samurai paramilitary group wielding magic swords stepped forth to oppose us. Before their final blow was struck, our God opened a portal through time and flung us into the future, where evil is law! Now we seek to atone for the past, and see that the future will be A-Ku!

>>30976392
Scions* damn that ruined the flow!

>>30976392

Functionally, Aku Tech wasn't technically a megacorp due to their small size, by they managed to make some of the nastiest CQC robots the world has ever seen (particularly prominent at the time of their disappearance was their bladed beetle module). Their anomalous proficiency at robotic development was thanks to a remarkable ability to acquire mad scientists, and the efficacy of their models has been attributed to a strange and inscrutable power source which corporate representatives would only ever describe as "a sliver of our god's power infused into the power core" or "a portion of our god's favor made manifest".

>>30976580
>>30976414
>>30976392

So much for not saying "fuck it" huh?

Really though, our specialty unit would be the bug-bots and/or a machine-effigy or our god which we must worship (and do evil things for) in order to receive the power cores for our units.

>>30976392
Alright I will admit that is mighty amusing despite it being a massive rip off but damn it...just use it for inspiration and do your own thing okay? Thats all I ask otherwise its lazy and not quite as good as it could be. That is what I do anyway leads to some mighty interesting and FUN! designs.

Oh, forgot about that.

Did our basement spawn/modify/control/create the native zombies? Were we doing the right thing in our biomass collection methodology? What was in thegrasslands accessed through the tunnels? The bunker? The ruins?

Director Herb is still alive? What's his deal? What was the deal with the nomads group that came through with the traders? The grow group?

How would you have gotten out of this situation?

Rolled 86, 22, 91, 91, 87 = 377

>>30977583
To a degree the zombies actually happened by accident.

No, you should of chopped down Everything and then use your specialty to just make regrow everything and do some mods to boot.

There were a number of things in the grasslands most of which I hadn't quite figured out yet as it was still mostly unneeded still.

Bunker belonged to Green Securities who tried to save you however luck was most certainly not on their side(you wouldn't believe how much they got screwed over goddamn).

Dictector Herb is still alive and he was an odd character horrible in many things but a genius in some. He was an odd yet interesting character.

They were just a bunch of nomads not much to them.

The grow group was meant to reunify you with other nearby GROW elements.

Heroic sacrifice to buy time while calling out to the GROW element for help. That or see how much security measures could be reactivated in the tower considering how intact it was.
