Finishing up the town so quickly as well as the proceeding celebrations plus the alien research has really really put huge strains on your supplies. Thankfully, they are replenishing.

The new lawns while very popular are cutting into your water supply. The Brain recommends finding ways to tap into nearby water sources passively, either perhaps Newberry Springs or the underground Mojave River.

Qm what does brain think we still need to do to make research a 5th action as opposed to a replacement action?

People are moving from the Boxcars to New Washington. The Old Boxcars settlement would be a good source of Scrap Metal.

However it still has some vital elements not yet replaced in New Washington, such as washing machines. You can either build another public washing station, or, as some suggest, build washing machines for everyone.

Some of the people say the Super Mutants should remain segregated and in "their own place". Marcus requests fair and equal treatment, and the construction of at least an apartment for mutants.

Correction, it was 2 girls and 3 boys.

Of all the tasks you find challenging, difficult, or complex Child rearing is definitely up there. Even with the help of Rusty, Muggy, and an experienced mother like Unity dealing with 5 women and 5 infants plus your own little daughter fills hours and sometimes days.

Changing Diapers, bottlefeeding, holding and soothing, and of course the questions that come with inexperience at being a mother. Unity is once more a godsend in that regard. But you have to requisition an entire Mr. Orderly to yourself.

You learn of the names given by the mothers of your children to your offspring.

Veronica gives you a little girl with her dark hair named Christine. She really loves her daughter, is a bit nervous about being a mother, but otherwise up to the challenge. She swears she won't make the same mistake as her own parents.

Wendy Gilbert isn't sure what to name her boy, but is deeply caring for him. She isn't sure of a name though, but is a bit more at ease. Having a home with food, robot servants, and a father that provides is what any mother from the NCR can appreciate and she's happy to fulfill that role.

Sonia seems a bit aloof to being a mother. You worry that she doesn't care for the boy, but talking to her, you learn she's hiding her own fears under a veil of apathy. She never planned nor intended to be a mother at all, especially to be the role model for one. She deals in weapons, is a mercenary does some chems and, well, frankly, isn't exactly strict when it comes to bed partners. Your son by her, with your eyes but her white hair, doesn't have a name yet.

Vanessa is also a little depressed, worrying about whether she'll make a good role model for a son, she herself didn't exactly have the best of childhoods. She wonders if he'll inherit any of her own traits like her weak heart.

Dandan is at a point where she's not sure where to go with her life. She loves her daughter deeply, at the same time she's always been a Crimson Dragoon. Apparently that job was meant "till the death", and she's also concerned about who will lead her stealth team without her if she stays at home with her daughter. If she even should. Her daughter has your hair, but her eyes. She wants to know if you have a name in mind, being her father.

You do your best to reassure your "concubines" (which is what people have begun calling them). You have some children to name yet. It occurs to you you may want to be here a while.

Also you should probably name your children soon.

>>1614188
i imagine vanessa and Cass would get along with their bum hearts, and excessive lifestyles.

Which reminds me, Why do Cass and Marcus never talk? Marcus and Cass's dad killed the enclave together.

>>1614188
Xìnshǐ is courier in chinese as far as google translate tells me. Could use that for dans kid

>>1614220
Probably because you helped Marcus cure the nightkins schizophrenia (mostly) and gave Cass peace of mind by vindicating her caravan. That and Cass stays drunk most of the time with the rest of your female companions.

If you mean to each other? Remember that her father left her when she was very young so she doesn't have much attachment to him.

Your own knowledge of the mythical "Chosen One" is a bit spotty, you only have the NCR legends and Marcus tidbits to go by.

Can we encourage non-grass based desert landscaping? so we aren't using as much water on useless grass?

>>1614303
I agree.

Bit late for that, but sure.

The grass isn't going to kill you (hopefully) but it is certainly a new constraint.

>>1614308
free landscaping as a civ action?

>>1614308
I like the green grass, especially in our capitol. But I think future towns we build may want to stay away from that except for in the administrative section.

>>1614308
Nah, Cut back on the grass. Keep only what is needed, not just cause it looks good.

>Construction - make better reesearch tools

>>1615276
Oh shit. Never mind. I thought we needed research action for that.

We didn't build houses for the super mutants?

>>1615293
We might? I don't know if we need research.

>>1613944
>"Now that we have an understanding of Alien Technoloy and how to make more we can upgrade some of our research robots into superior versions.

I could be wrong, but I think well be good as far as making better research tools. If we go beyond that I feel it will take research.

>>1615297
Once we get our 5th action, I'm all for building homes for our super mutants and ghouls. I don't want them to be in there own ghetto type thing. I'm advocating for equality.

We should award Jacob and grant him a title like Chief Architect of Phoenix Commonwealth. Then have all future projects be handled or delegated by him.

>>1613944
>Or as mentioned, study the effects of splicing lobotomies to robots for sentient and aware lifeforms. We may be able to employ their more aware minds toward research

Can you elaborate on this? Does he mean uplifting lobotomites by putting AI into them?

>>1615335
There is a weird research station in game that lets you combine things. If you put a lobotomite and a brain Think/tank together it makes a superior Brain robot, but it self destructs shortly after.

The research is to find a way to stop that self destruct, and use it to make a better robot to aid in researching.

Thats my interpretation as far as I know.

>>1615323
Ill support this. I don't know if we should delegate absolutely everything to him, but he has proved his competence. I doubt well find another one like him, but if we find someone similarly skilled I think we should build an advisory board / council of them.

>>1615335
I was wrong, Its a combination of a lobotomite, and a MR Orderly.

Heres the wiki link http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/X-8_splicing_facility_terminal

We can also make friendly robo dogs, but only one at a time that cant leave the facility which may be able to be solved with more research.

QM, slightly off topic question, but does our brain have any thoughts on Improving upon the recharger rifle / pistol weapons?

morning peeps, I have a test to take today. will try to update or at least answer questions before i leave

>>1614314

You move the public washing machines and the tent that hangs over it to New Washington.

Most people wash their clothes sparingly, also you have to ration the water supply, but it is seen as a nice luxury.

You hear little conversations saying how wonderful it'd be if we were near the Colorado and had unlimited water. Or if we had Mr. Gutsy's to do all the washing for us (it takes time to wait in line!)

It seems true, as House said, people will always want more. But you suppose, that's exactly why you are here

Using the new Alien technology, different prototypes of advanced research assistant robots are built and tested.

The most successful of these was designed partly by Arcade and Gabriel with the help of ED-E.

This Eyebot variant is equipped with a scanning device and enhanced optics, and while it does have a singular arm, its main armament is based off the abduction ray of your own spaceship. The grabber ray can pick up and manipulate objects at short range. Thus, it can screw in bolts, reach parts, stir beakers, or press buttons that would be difficult to do with crude robot arms, all with the utmost finesse!

+60 of these are built after scrapping some of the Boxcars, with the help of the existing robot infrastructure.

The Brain still requests more investment in alien tools, we're very close.

Did we give ede's data to the followers for the blue laser tech, or the brotherhood for quality armour?

>>1615733
Another set of questions: How fast is the alien scout ship? Can it exit the atmosphere?

Assuming it fulfils those last two criteria: How far can it go? How heavy of a mass can it lift in atmosphere / how heavy of a mass can it move safely outside of the atmosphere?

>>1615733
Also, could we get or do we have access to edible saltwater-growing seaweed?

>>1615774
not for upgrading and building robots. testing and operating sure, and in that purview perhaps analyzing their programming for improvement.
>>1615822
2-3 eyebots can lift a man over long-medium distances. 5 can lift a power armored man. 10 can lift a small car or boulder.

Factoring in both:
-The Scrap Steel to convert via Sierra Madre Machines into Alien Metal + Alien Electronics "parts"
-The Scrap Steel to convert via Chinese War Factory into Normal Electronics

30 such robots creates a noticeable decrease in your material resources.

>>1615837

>>1615908
>How fast is the alien scout ship?
Seemingly fast, faster than even Riddicks car.

>Can it exit the atmosphere?
Heights are scary. You got up to 10 miles before you decided to go back down when the outer window began to frost a little. Apparently from the altitudometer thing thats not anywhere near its potential ceiling limit, if it has any.

>>1616816
Possibly, though bear in mind, the entire Pacific ocean is radioactive and rumors are that the Atlantic is radioactive too.

>>1617095
The plan isn't to use it in the oceans.

It's for the salt lakes at Trona. Since it's easier to reprocess the seaweed into Salient green than to purify that much water.

>>1617103
At that point you might as well research mutant plants to extract the water from the somewhat toxic lake itself.

>>1617106
True, especially since we could use a few improvements to our more traditional crops to make them more water efficient.

>>1617114
If we grow plants that take salt water and store fresh water like a cactus, then we would have water for people to work in Trona.

>>1617125
True but such natural processing is energy intensive. The plants would be slow growing thanks to how much energy they would be dedicating to removing the salt.

A better plan is a solar evaporator and thermal condenser / engine for power where we collect the evaporated water for drinking afterwards. However we would have to clean the salt out regularly to prevent it getting damaged and it probably wouldn't be that productive. Still, it'd make power, salt and water.

>>1617140
I don't think it'd make power. the pressure from the evaporating water, if its from the sun heating the water, won't be enough to turn a turbine with any appreciable velocity.

The condenser would probably be water cooled, so we'd need a pump to keep the water flowing through the pipes the vapor runs past, for cooling. We might also want pumps for the vapor to increase the pressure and make it liquid sooner.

>>1617017
What is the best mark of securitons we can build right now? Did we get an upgrade after we defeated the berserkers or do we need to research more.
What does brain suggest to improve our robotic force?

File: comb_energy_cell.jpg (110 KB, 620x388)

110 KB JPG

>>1614081
The alien Energy Cell and the Alien Power Module are essentially extremely high capacity batteries. The devices are made of a special alloy that generates an internal field which holds the power inside itself using a tiny amount of what is stored in a synthetic type of gas you are able to manufacture from the Sierra Madre machines.

They have the most interesting ability to convert electricity into the various alien energy weapon types, disintegration beam, firelance, alien blaster and perhaps even others such as the Heat Ray and the Abducto beam.

Unlike Microfusion Cells or the Alpha Breeder they do not generate energy, simply store it. The Followers create the standard sizes, a medium sized one, and a prototype of a very large and heavy one. One that can electrically power a vehicle or a small building for weeks!

There will surely be huge applications to this.

>>1617199
>Did we get an upgrade after we defeated the berserkers or do we need to research more.
Research it more.

>Brain
"Universally upgrading the MK2's to the MKV software (after we are sure this time to properly reprogram it) is a good place to start.

Even as now the MK2's are powerful, a few well placed hits can vaporize a man at point blank. The MKV's will be unto an army in their own right.

Definitely however, what we seriously lack is the capability to produce more of even our basic securitrons. I would propose gathering resources to build a proper Robot Factory. We should start with the ability to maintain a robotic force, then we can diversify more readily from there."

Here's what I am on about:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_desalination

Please examine the section titled "Towered desalination plant built in Pakistan" for an example of how efficient we could make one. Admittedly we would require some glass for it. Also refer to the section directly below it.


An additional method that can work with the above as well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_the_Stirling_engine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

In theory the heat energy of the solar desalination's waste "brine water" and such could be used to power / energise Stirling engines. Thus allowing us to use them in turn for the use of reverse osmosis units, as described in the applications section under "desalination".


Both of these methods will work on any form of water. So long as the contaminants don't evaporate at similar temperatures to water but even if they do some modifications can be made to resolve it.


>>1617197
True but the aforementioned Stirling engines can also be used to generate power.

Also depending on how you do it, you don't need a large water cooling system: if you have a high enough thermal transfer rate material you can attach a large thermal radiator to remove the heat passively. Alternatively we make it out of that one material from Big mt, the one that easily holds vast heat for long periods without melting.

Still the power is a lesser benefit seeing as we could just throw a few solar panels onto the roofs of the people's houses. Also we could place mirrors around the tower to reflect more heat towards the tower.


Anyhow we have fallout tech and shit: if they can have fusion engines in every car, they should be able to do a tower like this fairly easily.

>>1617216
I suppose we could build the vertical desalinator, but yeah. Lots of glass. We probably also want to test Trona's water to see if its just salt or if there is anything funky in the water.

We could build a traditional Multi stage flash distillation plant. That's just pipes and tanks, and a boiler.

>>1617234
True but if there are things in the water besides salt, it'll extract most of them too. Hell we might even be able to process the extract for something more useful than sea salt.

True on the glass front but we want to have glass anyway so this is just another reason for getting it and we could build a more traditional plant but the great thing about this is we don't put energy in: we just let the sun do it for us. Meaning we don't need to burn fuel or power it once we've set it up.

>Millitary - more wasteland training
Kreger attempts to expand the operational limits of his soldiers, namely, seeing how far they can go and where they can go.

And he learns the same old lesson of every general in the West Coast of the Commonwealth for the last 200 years. The same knowledge that dictates warfare for everyone from the NCR to the Legion.

Desert warfare sucks. It sucks huge amounts of ass.

Here more so because you are literally in a true desert, Death Valley the hottest and driest of them all in the Commonwealth, where sand dunes and dust devils travel the scorched and blasted landscape and the rain never comes.

A man can only march as much water as he can reasonably carry. Even with several weighty containers, this isn't very far. Heat from the sun both in the sky and reflected off every stone on the ground, the sheer difficulty taken with every step on the soft sand, a man can go through his canteen quickly. Both the Legion and the NCR themselves are ultimately dictated by water. The Legion stays along its rivers and springs, and fosters the respect of the caravans. The NCR is little better, as far as you remember from last you were in the mojave. While the Mojave itself has fresh water, in places where it does not or on the way here the soldiers must stay by their trucks or trains loaded with barrels of drinking water.

The only people who have really figured out long range desert warfare where the Enclave and the Brotherhood. Both had, and used, Vertibirds extensively. Their true powered armor meant soldiers did not expend much energy with each step or carrying their weight, and they had internal ventilation, and heavier capacity to carry water. The most advanced armors even filtered piss into drinking water. This was how the Brotherhood devastated the NCR early on in their war, before they were overwhelmed by the NCR's size and mass.

For now your own troops are under the age old limitations of the canteen, the APC, and what cactus they can find. The desert and the sun are forces you must respect, for now.

The good news is, while it limits you, it also limits everyone else. If the Legion or the NCR come here, they're going to need water just as much as you.

>>1617278
Which is where bot army comes extremely useful. No water required. Excellent

Not to mention they can carry additional water if we really need it.


This also makes me want to build still-suits for our troops but we can get by without them.

"Seems to be so. If you want men to march alongside your robots, we could use robots to carry water.

The securitrons are pretty strong. One can carry a man on its back without difficulty, great for rescuing men who've gone and passed out of heat stroke or broke a leg.

We might do with some purpose set carrying bots, otherwise we'll have to rely on brahmin."

Why could't we? We were able to scan fucking alien stuff with our device.

>>1617314
we can scan the veritbird right?

>>1617344
Not practically no. You need a bigger scanner.

But actually your scientists with the help of Daisy might be able to take apart a Vertibird and put it back together again.

Rolled 16 (1d100)

>>1617314
Backing this >>1617320

Really need to get the air fleet up. Rip it apart if need be

>>1617350
I figured that's what we would do. Take it apart, scan it and slowly put it back together. Hence the 'scanning' part.

>>1617350
Take it apart / scan pieces, make pieces assembly line build more?

>>1617360
Oh, well i was just thinking silly then.
Also are we making more vertibirds? Cause i think we should instead make more alien scout ships.

>>1617357
Problem is we won't be getting air superiority with vertibirds.
If the NCR has fighters, then air transports like vertibirds would be essentially sitting ducks.

>>1617364
When we get a boon, maybe we could rip the scout ships apart.

>>1617370
Why would the NCR have fighters when they don't fight anybody who has air craft?

>>1617377
Prep for if they face someone who does?
THey stole the original vertibird plans from the enclave, and warred with the brotherhood.
They won't assume that they are the only modern technology power in all of America. It would be good to have fighters if they come across someone else with fighters.

>>1617377
We have already studied the scout ship though, it's flight system at least.
What we need to make more is to study the alien hangar

>>1617387
Studying the alien hanger isn't gonna teach us how to build new ones?

>>1617386
Yes, but they would't think they would have fighters. All you ever see is combat veritbids. If anything they might have jet transports

>>1617396
>Studying the alien hanger isn't gonna teach us how to build new ones?
Huh?

>>1617401
your post here >>1617364
>make more scout ships

how does this >>1617387 make more?

>>1617408
Hangar has a auto assembly/ repair routine. Assuming we can backwards engineer it we can learn to make new ones

>>1617408
We know how to make alien metal, alien flight systems and the alien battery, i assume with that we can make a saucer, it's wouldn't be as good as the original since we haven't studied the alien hangar or scout ship weapons.

>>1617426
We could go hybrid alien human technology like the F-302
http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/F-302_fighter-interceptor
incorporate human ergonomics and control interfaces, alien weapons and propulsion.

>>1617436
That's what i was thinking of doing, make a new saucer design as an aesthetic upgrade.
We ain't giving it wings though, it stays a saucer.

>>1617449
Why stick with a saucer? maybe a flat triangular shape could be nice.

a bit exhausted from today, updates tomorrow.

>>1617488
why is the shape important? specifically the saucery shape?

>>1617508
Less surface area and drag, it also makes things less of a target?

>>1617508
Because i like the shape and aesthetic.

I'd point out I want to have all of our shit look a bit like the new science drone's given image: >>1615732. As it looks advanced and fluid / has curves without looking flimsy or too distant from more traditional technology. Plus it is a nice change from Fallout's 50's tech and although I can see why we would want to have our designs be like your images, it just seems a bit too on the nose to our sources / inspiration.


Also, I had some ideas for the prior mentioned new bot design. As their capabilities seem ideal for a few roles I had imagined with minimal modifications:

1) Washing clothes as a few of them can lift a full grown man and they are precise.

2) Cleaning windows / dusting (their manipulator ray should be able to remove all dust and shit with ease).

3) Assembly of machines / construction, again thanks to their precise manipulators and ability to work together to lift things.

4) Delivering (internal holotape based)-mail and packages.

5) Potentially surgery, seeing as they can manipulate objects precisely. However we have autodocs so such a robot is not needed.

6) Farming.

>>1617626
yeah we could probably put them to work in a lot of things.
Including security- Brain probably links to their cameras, and give them a stun gun, and we would have drone police, smaller and more maneuverable than the securitrons.

>>1617650
I would argue we should look into the tech in the "Compliance Regulator". As the fact that it can stun on crits would imply we could make a laser stunning weapon.

Better than a taser: longer range, faster firing, more accurate, more shots before reloading and only requires energy.

>>1617654
Should probably make it less lethal, but yes. It is a credible avenue of research.

>>1617654
Add it to the nonexistent list.

>>1617666
We should probably actually record these things somewhere.

>>1617327
Supporting.

>>1617327
Backing this too.

Also, add rewarding Jacob with a title and promotion. I don't think this requires separate action.

>>1617200
>One that can electrically power a vehicle or a small building for weeks!

So let me get this straight. If we put it into, let's say, Riddick's car, it should be able to run without stopping for more than a week? If we assume that in a day it will cost 2000km (80km/h), it should have fuel range for over 14000km on a single charge!

If I am correct, we should forget about conventional fuel and convert all of our vehicles to use it.

Do we need additional research or can we start converting them?

>>1618088
If it doesnt, then im good with that.

>>1618109
Calculations predict however that large scale use of the Alien Power Cells are going to significantly cut into our electrical grid. But it is possible

With no small amount of dissapointment, the grass turns brown and dies. But, you tell your people one day they'll get more water for grass.

You think if Vault City could do it, why not yout.

Still, so it doesn't look completely barren you offer people the chance to build drought resistant gardens using pretty desert flowers. Well, most people are too busy gardening the farms to care much for their gardens, but a few people do.

It strikes you that not only may you consider providing more luxuries, but you could reduce the amount of hard work your people have to do. There's barely enough time for school anyway.

Okay, so the Brain has been doing some analysis and has come to a conclusion.

To get a true extra research action, we'll need to have an entire community of scientists. Probably with its own university and a bunch of interconnecting labs.

Until then however, he can offer an alternative. We can build special purpose labs for the Followers based on certain research we deem important. Whatever research we do on that particular subject, be it a Weapons Design lab, a Neurology Lab, a Logistics Research facility, or a Robotics Laboratory, the research action for that will be in addition to your 4 actions, rather than as a replacement.

Then later in the future we will either have enough different labs for most research and achieve the same effect, or we build that university and train a lot of scientists to turn the research into an extra action.

CHOOSE:
What type of research laboratory (action) would you like?

>>1618227
Note that you can keep building laboratories for more research labs.

>>1618227
Wow brain. What a tease.

The MKV Hazard Bots take some steel from the defunct BoxCars and begin modifying their own bodies to accept digital radio signals, and enter the Divide.

You now have a direct line of sight to this place.

The first few efforts consists of scouting out the terrain. In addition to the Divide you walked, there are other parts of the ruined city and small outlier towns, not related to your quest to meet Ulysses.

Three factions dominate the Divide, in hot contention with each other.

The Marked Men. Pain and hatred drive them to be hostile toward all, yet few if any of them are feral. They have constructed forts and bases, built an army and amassed weapons. Because of their proximity to Old World military bases as well as construction firms, they have access to Rocket Launchers and Arc Throwers which they use to deadly efficiency against the military robots here. And against your own too.

It isn't that far off from what they did before. Back when you were still a Courier, you delivered packages here and, truth be told, this was a blossoming settlement comparable to your own. The people here might have been annexed by the NCR and a target of the Legion but for good reason, they were smart, well armed, and well supplied. So are they now as Marked Men, and some Marked Women.

The next faction is the Old World Military. Or rather, the Robots of the Old World Military. The Automated defenses here are still strong, just as you yourself had to fight your way through bots and more to make your way past here. In the narrow cramped corridors and concrete and steel secured bunkers they are a deadly and effective defense against Chinese incursion.

The last and perhaps more insidious faction here is the Tunnelers. Real tunnelers. You aren't sure at all where, or if, they have a nest or if they do not simply roam and eat everything in sight. Radroaches, radscorpions, mole rats. In groups they even hunt down Death Claws. Defending against them is hard enough, but how do you fight an enemy that digs through the earth itself? The only real defense against them is solid concrete and steel walls of the Bunker, because they can only dig through earth and stone.

>con't

>>1618258
For your bulky Securitrons, its a terrible place. The redeeming qualities are at least that the MKV is armored to hell and back and has weapons, but in between corridors, corners, debris, and a nigh unlimited amount of places for tunnelers or marked men to ambush taking this place could be very painful if done in a conventional manner.

But ultimately winnable. Marked Men can't make more of themselves, but you can. Tunnelers will be a different type of threat, but you have the science facilities to figure out a means to beat them. And now you have the robotics knowledge to maneuver the old Silo's. Maybe even, perhaps, re-open the closed missiles you deactivated.

For now though, while you can cause damage with 30MKV's they will most likely be overwhelmed if you tried an all out assault. You'll need to figure out where and how to set up a beachhead into the place.

Your Brain and Scientists come up with a design for a Robotics Laboratory, based partly on alien technology and on BigMT's and Dr. 0's extensive robotics research. And with a tiny amount of Dr. Mobius theoretical concepts as well.

The Good news is both the MagnetoHydraulics complex OR the Securitron Deconstruction Plant have harvestable parts for this, and either could be upgraded into the laboratory itself. Decide on which building to upgrade with additional constructions, the other will be scrapped/defunct.

It will still need more hexcrete and steel than you currently possess however.

To note, the difference is that the Magneto Hydraulics Plant will have to be dug out deeper, and so require more Hexcrete for the walls, but is ostensibly safer.

The Securitron Deconstruction plant has plenty of room and will require less Hexcrete to build.

NEWS!
Sam's 2nd Birthday is soon.
You haven't heard much from Mr. New Vegas in a while. The station appears to be dead or non-transmitting.
You hear very faint but ultimately blurred radio from the NCR.
Planes are still in the sky, occasionally.

>>1618328
Yes. Both are being used for robotics research, but consolidation is a good idea.

The Magneto Hydraulics plant also serves as your 2nd Water Source and is where you are piping water from BigMT's acquifer from. The other source is the spring near the BoxCars/New Washington.

>>1618331
Then i would suggest we use the Securitron deconstruction plant

Anon can you clarify what you want from this?

>>1618448
The vr beds are the debrained version- they work on lobotomites. Research making them work on peopel with brains in their head.

>>1618452
Ah, so true and true VR sim pods. Alright.

Surprisingly, making VR simulation for those with a Brain is that much more complicated than those without one.

Two designs are created.

The Pod-Version.

Because the brain is still attached to the body, a very delicate balance of sedation must be achieved so as to not completely knock someone unconscious but enough to keep them from moving, all while autonomic bodily functions must be maintained by the person itself, rather than the machine.

In addition, since data cannot be directly uploaded into the brain itself, an additional means of transmission of VR Data and reception of output are required. These require specialized and expensive to maintain direct-to-skull wireless neurotranmission devices which must be powered by complex super computers.

The Room Version.

This one requires less delicate life support systems as the person is walking and waking. It can incorporate real world implements, as well as hologram interaction.

The limitations are that the person's body is confined within the size of the room and any solid objects within it. There are some workarounds to this. For example, a multiple room simulation was tested. A person can walk up to a door, and then signal they wish to open it. Then they walk to the other side of the room in real space. They experience a transition into the next room.

The benefits are that its not so possibly taxing on the human body and circadian rythym, and can allow multiple people to interact with it at a time with less time and energy consumption, although the system itself in totality is a bit more energy intensive than the VR pods setup. I.e. you may be able to put more people in it, but it still costs more energy.

Two designs are created in blueprint, ready to be built each.

The Omni-Agronator was made with Boon Parts. You don't have those readily available, but, using some of the Scrap Steel you harvested from the BoxCars, you craft several Mr. Howdy's as farmhands.

They provide much help to your citizens, and you're able to provide extra hours off from their mandatory agricultural service.

Currently everyone is (somewhat forced by both necessity and your own rule) to work the farms, the exception being a Soldier, a scientist, doctor or a designated /other/ service such as a shop keeper (such as the hoarders and wealthier elements of your society), a maid/escort/prostitute or other form of public service such as clothes washer or etc.

You don't allow Vagrancy. Except for some of your Companions who are technically mercenaries and a few cripples and elderly.

The 30 MKV Securitrons from the Divide pick up another big massive piece of debris and start hauling. They will arrive to BigMT next turn.

>Have a birthday party for sam? Invite our closest friends and family
It is fortunate for you that you seem to have chosen 'Founding Day' in the same month as the day you concieved Sam.

All your children have similar birthdays (I still don't have names for all of them, by now they would be named but if you guys didn't name them I guess their mothers would have)

Even considering its a private affair of just your most intimate "friends" and family, it is a large gathering you have at your house. Most of your companions are invited. Your parents in law are invited too. It isn't any wonder that 50 people attend.

Sam blows out her two candles, while the rest of the mothers blow out the one for their own children.

Sam is beaming and smiling. The happy little girl in her tiny dress is friendly. You know had this been but a year ago, her appearance may have sent the whole congregation scattering for the hills.

Of all your concubines, Unity has a boundless appetite for conversation and doesn't seem to tire so much as the rest of your companions who already deal with the prospect of being mothers. Some of your other sons and daughters have already taken their first step or babbled their first words. You weren't able to be there for all of it.

You are sort of struck by how. . .quickly time passes now. Even though you have a vast life expectancy, it hits you that as you are busy leading science projects, going into military forays, and off on long missions, time is slipping through your hands. All the more your attention is limited as you have to divided it among 7 women an 7 children.

Still at least you do get to be at home for lengths at a time. Not as much as you'd like perhaps, but you haven't abandoned them entirely.

Lets give the Courier a rest so he can relax and spend our other actions.


OP a question: what would we need for solar panels / arrays? Also is the resources section entirely accurate because I swear we should have a bit more metal than that from the salvaging runs to the Divide.

Glass mill allows us to build solar salt water distillation towers at Trona. Allowing us to have a human presence in the region and to also make use of the salt lakes there cheaply and easily.

It also allows us to give all the homes in New Washington actual windows rather than steel shutters and blinds.


Anyhow we'd only want additional radio range if we planned on expanding or exploiting the resources further in that direction. Which as far as I am aware is a region occupied by the NCR or at least will be soon, assuming there is anything there.


If however OP states this to be otherwise, I will accept your point and alter my plan.

>>1618717
>Research Solutions to the power problem
Or you know, we could just make solar farms.

>>1618722
>Anyhow we'd only want additional radio range if we planned on expanding or exploiting the resources further in that direction. Which as far as I am aware is a region occupied by the NCR or at least will be soon, assuming there is anything there.
There's a bunch of scrap metal there, like tons.
I plan to turn the town into an industry and power center by making a bunch of solar farms and robot/vehicle/aircraft factories.

>>1618674
Dont we have 6 women and 6 children?

>>1618728
Here's the description.
>To the Northwest is some mixed news. There is an abdoned medium sized town called Trona, built around an old world mining complex, and has not yet been colonized by the NCR.
>The Town is named after the mineral that is found in abundance there, "Trona," which can be used to make glass, soda, and laundry detergent. It also has some other things like Potash which can be an alternative ingredient for gunpowder. It is however, a dry and desolate place, the ground is very salty and nothing grows here and its very hot during the day. There is a nearby extremely salty lake. There are no stable sources of water. It also has a lot of scrap metal and some mining equipment but it will take time to scavenge these due to the distances.

>>1618728
>There's a bunch of scrap metal there, like tons.
Okay then we can send human salvaging teams and have the robots carry them and their salvage back.

>I plan to turn the town into an industry and power center by making a bunch of solar farms and robot/vehicle/aircraft factories.
Seems pointless compared to keeping everything together, nice and centralised. Not to mention minimising transport costs.

>>1618731
Yeah that's the right description and why I wanted to get the glass production online. As it would allow us to build solar water processing and thus colonise the area with humans.


We can then build a radio tower far easier if we need to or want to.

>>1618732
Well if were turning things into vehicles and robots they can transport themselves to the mountain rather rhan dedicated supply routes.

>>1618723

Rolled 66 (1d100)

>>1618717

>>1618732
We have been running out of scrap metal to scavenge around us so we need a new source, the only places where there still is scrap metal is the divide, which has marked men and tunnelers, or trona, which has nothing to attack us unless we let the NCR just walk in and take it.
>>1618735
>We can then build a radio tower far easier if we need to or want to.
Or we could build a radio tower first to have our robots work in the town, then build a glass mill and solar farms and water processing and anything else.

This is a map of Hopeville West, the large city located to the west of Hopeville East/Ashton (aka the Courier's Mile). It is much larger than the area through which you met Ulyssess, but no doubt richer in metals and minerals. . .and enemies.

Of course, you could always go to the Courier's Mile to the east. Certainly its rich in metals and steel, and yet you fear doing so may be risky. There are only two entrances into the Courier's Mile, going through Hopeville West and going through the old road leading directly into the Canyon Wreckage at the Mojave, which could expose you to Caesars legion.

Due to distance limitations, the MKV's have JUST returned this very turn with metal from the last run (thanks to your rolling to speed their progress). But you again have to send them out. The Divide is a great distance away. And the only things that can survive in it are robots and Ghouls/Super mutants.

>>1618750
Trona is also a major distance issue. You send a portion of the fresh steel gathered there with the Omni-Constructor as well as your 5 Chinese Supply Trucks. Hopefully they make it.

Stun weapons already exist aplenty. There's of course the Compliance Reguator, the Alien Shock Baton and Human Cattle Prods. For more serious foes, the Arc Welder exists as well although that tends to singe and char flesh.

The Old World military invented a device called a Mesmetron, which has the ability to hypnotize people for limited amounts of time. And turn them into a frenzy. And make their heads explode. The variability in results is difficult to correct due to each human being different.

There was also the idea of a "Dumbification Ray" based off the, evidently false, rumor that Robo-Scorpions drain intelligence (which they do, but only on machines and particularly brain machines). A prototype true dumbificationn ray has been invented, but there's no one to test it on.

There are also weapons based on the Abducto Ray. An Abducto Ray strong enough to bind the Average Man has been invented, and must be carried on a pack. An effort was made to add a shock feature to it, but the results were visually impressive and destructive in nature.

A number of other devices are being invented as well.

The chief con's of both Electrical Weapons and those which work on the brain from a distance are how finnicky the human (or an enemy) body can be. What is paralyzing to one is lethal to another is nothing to someone else. Still both various electrical weapons and the mesmetron can be made.

The addition of body armor and even a simple metal helmet such as the NCR or Legion are wont to wear, can also affect the reliability of either weapon.

Additional capture weapons are devised. One is a two or three man system involving a large tank of hyper reactive foam. You spray it on a man and it quickly expands and solidifies into an extremely solid and sturdy substance immobilizing them. It has been tested against even the mighty Super Mutant to good effect. It isn't very stealthy though and if the target can move out of the way in time to scrape it off their muscle it can be evaded. But its good in conjunction with conventional electric stun weapons.

Thus far:
-Electro Melee Weapons
-Conventional Electro Gun / Arc Throwers
-Mesmetron
-"Dumb Rays"
-Foam Tanks

One last theoretical weapon is devised, which might have 100% effecacy but presents with an ethical dilemma.

Some old notes from Dr. Mobius theorizes that brains deeped "psychokinetically active" aka "psykers" might have the innate processes combined with integration with a mesmetron weapon to achieve 100% control over a target.

This would require the splicing of a Psyker's Brain into a Robobrain frame.

But as of now, you only know of one Psyker's brain. And its in one Psyker's body.
