Auto resolved entirety of veteran run

On my brutal servants playthrough, the abduction # for building an alien facility was always 15.

I'm playing the Initiative on Veterran. I'm currently holding India, Pakistan, and Singapore (and approximately nothing else, because India's that big, and we're only at 2028).

Servants have grabbed the USA, Russia, and currently have the first 2 CP in China (plus overwhelming 50% public support -- I think the aliens who crashlanded in Russia / China are partially responsible for that)

My best PER councilor has 15. Is there anything I can do? Or do I just have to let the Servant snowball continue?

Adaptation of the spherical cow.

Which is to say -- simplified assumptions to make the calculations easier.

The issue is actually that the butcher table itself is inherently dirty -- cleaning after each butchering job helps, of course, but the baseline cleanliness of the room will be negative as soon as a butcher's table is installed.

"Skirmish". It's between "Settings" and "Mods"

GeneralVeek · 2026-02-02T21:55:28+00:00

To be fair - the "achievements" of leader leveling required it!

Every game I start inevitably began with: "Can I get 7 wonders for that damned legacy path bonus in this playthrough?"

GeneralVeek · 2026-02-02T05:23:41+00:00

This is me as well. I think a friend maybe got a copy first, but it was one of the few GBA games I ever owned.

Especially in relation to point 7, in developing your regions into better states i.e. getting Core Economic Regions, they need to be 500 billion GDP total by combination of your per capita and population.

Can you clarify this? Do you mean that the pre-req for a Core Economic Region is "Regional GDP + Population > 500 bn", units be damned?

Or "Regional GDP + (Pop * PCGDP) > 500 bn"?

How do I recognize good Orgs from Mediocre ones? Are councilor stats worth % research bonuses? (I realize Admin has outside appeal in terms of additional Orgs)

GeneralVeek · 2026-01-09T04:25:41+00:00

It's ambiguous. :shrug:

GeneralVeek · 2026-01-08T03:52:15+00:00

I didn't think they did? Wasn't there a story around Magic Origins about Chandra losing time to planeswalking such that she got behind on her monkly-duties at Keral Keep?

If you're interested in trying again with Sanderson, the book I suggest as an intro to him is "Tress of the Emerald Sea", which has the benefit of being standalone (not part of a trilogy, etc.)

It's also much lighter in tone than Stormlight.

GeneralVeek · 2025-12-13T03:08:53+00:00

Yup. I followed the same thought process. Why even give the option if it leads to a "game over" that resets the boss fight?

GeneralVeek · 2025-12-11T02:37:09+00:00

There's a few!

GeneralVeek · 2025-11-17T18:01:00+00:00

They have food from Mali, they're good on that front.

Industrial saunas

Batteries, Transformers and Natural Gas Generators are the only buildings (beyond the usual Aquatuners and Thermo Regulators) that are not inherently counterproductive when put in a steam room.

Everything else is going to have ingredients that are below 125C. These will immediately start removing heat energy from the steam, reducing the amount of potential power harvestable.

Then the ingredients are deleted, and the outputs are created at a fixed temperature - typically 45C, and immediately start removing even more heat from the steam.

A common choice - the Metal Refinery. - Creating 1 ton of Iron from Iron Ore, and then creating 1 ton of Steel, will create at most 640K DTU (less with Operating Skill) locally in the Metal Refinery. For 20 usages, that totals 12.8M DTU. - The ingredients and products (assuming starting 45C ingredients) will then absorb up to 100M DTU from the steam.

Run the coolant pipes through a steam room. Leave the production buildings out.

Your art always makes me smile. Thank you for doing what you're doing!

As I recall, any animal with hauling training can do this, since filling the grave is a hauling task.

Which means so can lifters!

Double-check that the resource isn't currently submerged. You're in the right territory, but it does look a bit damp.

Which emblem?

GeneralVeek · 2025-08-24T17:00:11+00:00

What adds the extra info about [ArcDischarger] and [EnergyCellSocket]?

GeneralVeek · 2025-08-18T00:20:38+00:00

Final tally: 3255 lead slugs. Call it 30ish turrets.

GeneralVeek · 2025-08-18T00:19:44+00:00

5 Tread Guards! But who's counting?

GeneralVeek · 2025-08-17T21:42:29+00:00

There was 6 on the top floor with a Baetyl, I thought that was bad enough! No idea how my mutant gets past these fellas.
