!NEWS!
All the MK2 Securitrons have been upgraded to the Mark V series. Conferring VASTLY improved combat abilities to all. As an added bonus, scrap steel can be spent as a free action to turn them into the Hazard Series conferring additional armor.
During battle, you can choose to apply the MKVI Beserker program safely to a select number of bots. These will even further increase their combat ability, but render them into mindless berzerkers set on killing all in sight. A terrifying weapon.

Civ. Research and build light worker droids to work on farms.

Construction. Scrap the inferior mills and all of the roboscorpions, then build as many MarkV as we can.

Military. Test MarkV forces to find and remove any bugs.

Research. Research a new chassis for Mark 5. Pic related. Make them a bit bigger to have more armor and armaments. Upgrade all the bots.

Tests go fantastic. There's a marked improvement among robot and human military force cooperation. The Brain has installed some superior Charisma programming beyond even House's old designs. The MKV is able to display heightened sense of tactical assessment and responsiveness.

Now you have hundreds of them. Kreger continues integration of human and robot forces, working out how to add them to his own lessons in large scale tactical operations. He's becoming a bit better at it.

Some wonder if Marcus and Keene's mutants should become part of the military, others don't like the idea. Mostly Marcus and Keene organize parties that go about killing local wasteland wildlife from being a danger, and eating them, such as radscorpions and mole rats. Super Mutants have better radiation and desert survivable abilities, able to go longer without food or water and sleep in the open more easily, though they prefer the caves at night.

Your MAXIMUM security systems are installed, using scrap metal from harvested robo-scorpions.

You have eyebots floating around. Bugs just about everywhere you can place them. And cameras.

Camera's and microphones everywhere.

The data and surveillance you get is immense.

And. . .almost universally unpopular. People are grumbling and weirded out. You have camera's in houses, there's hardly anywhere anyone can go that they aren't watched. They've started calling it the "House on Jet".

You do your best to assuage everyone that this is purely for security reasons and to ensure their safety, that you will have only the most impartial people keep an eye out.

To that matter since you've yet to research a surveilance AI and your brains are mostly devoted to research, this comprises your select intelligence officers for now. They report that, well, there's nothing really suspicious going on now. Apart from a few people attempting to cook chems in a pot on a campfire or smoking stolen packets of weed.

This probably has to do with most of the suspicious people having upped and left with Odd Ball.

It's something of a boring job actually, sitting at the Military HQ and just watching and listening in.

>>1635538
do we really need this.

We should restrict this to critical facilities only.

Gonna have to brb in a few hours.

>>1635538
>Intelligence Officer
"It would help to have an AI do most of this work. Then maybe notify us on anything actually suspicious."

>Moreno
"People aren't used to Big Brother. Enclave we understood the important of protecting our freedom through security and surveillance.

Why not do some kind of campaign to get people attuned to the idea."

>>1635541
>Moreno
"Let em grumble, let em complain, but show a firm hand. They'll understand that the order has to be maintained."

>>1635529
Eh.

If supermutants want to, let's have them join our militia.

I guess we need a tolerance campaign also.

>>1635540

Hey, gotta make sure to watch out for suspicious people. There could be Legion spies, criminals working with the Legion, etc. I'm for watching over them

>>1635541

Let's be sure to explain to the people about the dangers of Legion spies, criminals that could jump out and do something terrible, and more

>>1635543

This, muties are a boon to military ops. The Master had a good idea going for how to make some good mutant soldiers.

We should personally go into the Divide and go find Ulysses. See if he'd want to be a part of our new nation

>>1635545
I think we once went looking for Ulysses

>>1635547

Guess we didn't find him, oh well. Time to try again.

We should try for FEV research though, make Unity happy. And I forget, can she or can she not assimilate Marked Men?

>>1635541
Hey, remember that paranoid caravaneer back when we first met Unity? Is he in any way intelligence officer material?
Paranoid Jack, I think.

Also, how is our trucker acclimating? Driving trucks is good and all but I wish he was more useful. Maybe train him to be auto engineer and have him work on researching and designing vehicles.

>>1635551
>And I forget, can she or can she not assimilate Marked Men?

... Wow, why didn't we think of this before. That's way better than trying to kill them all.

We still have that smart home plan to merge Alexa and big brother together, so its not just an oppressive surveilance center its also a quality of life improvement.

>>1635557
Alexa?

>>1635561
Something similar to amazons alexa. Connects citizens to the network and generaly makes their life easier while also surveiling them.

Was brought up last thread and met with a good amount of support so i thought id bring it up again.

>>1635564
Something like

"Big Brother, pull up recipes for this" or "Big Brother play that specific song over the radio" plus alarms, weather, all kind of small simple things.

Depending on the level of complexity of the AI and the system, you could even use it as a phone system amongst the population and/or internet.

Similar to "Big Brother please place a call to the robot repair district, my mr handy is acting up."

>>1635564
>>1635571

Yeah. That's a good idea. Also every house should have its own house bot.

>>1635574
Potential problems though, we dont have the power for something like this, we eould have to work on fixing that first.

Qm, what does the brain / companions say about this plans merits? Is it worth considering?

>>1635584
We should research power efficient, light, humanoid all-purpose droids.
We then can use them for police, farming, house keeping, and any other tasks. Just install appropriate software.

Mr orderlies and similar robots
Are inefficient (also I always disliked their design)

>>1635590
They're probabaly more efficient than humanoid form bots using tool accessories though

>>1635438
I dont like the shin wheels. They seem to vulberable to enemy fire whne walking.

Wouldbe better to put them in the ankle of a ditgigrade leg.

>>1635605
They could always be behind retractable armor plating when not used.

>>1635612
Adds moving parts, and if we want thick armour wed have to build up the legs a lot.
Ankle wheels stay behind shins so would be protected regardless

>>1635605
>>1635615

I don't think it will be that much of a problem. Current models have even more exposed wheels but we ever hardly ran into that problem

"Two ways we can build Mr. Gutsys.

We can build them using normal steel and create normal batteries, requiring some recharging stations. To reduce power consumption we can perhaps build solar energy roofs on houses. But I was wondering about the possibility of planting garden roofs on houses to reduce heat during the day and in the future, air conditioner energy consumption.

The other way is if we were to harvest enough fissile material or fission batteries, such as from the Robo-Scorpions, and install them. They would last centuries, as seen most robots still operational and roaming the waste today since the Great War.

Either way, it should be a simple construction action."

>>1635938
*Mr. Handy's

>>1635938
normal steel and batteries. They aren't going anywhere, so during the night, should be charging.

It would also be a better use of the energy and shouldn't impact the peak amount being used.

>>1635938
Could we use the metal alloy's from the alien stuff, to line Solar panels and absord more sunlight?

Or could we by chance deploy Ballons or something into the upper atmosphere to soak in sunlight and have a teather to bring power down to us?

>>1635938
What does Brain think about the smart home integration with the big brother AI idea?

>>1635948
>Brain
"I think perhaps being a lot more subtle about this surveilance would have been for the best. Looking back I have some reason to believe Odd Ball was actually planning on selling his own model of house care bots, and I have strong indication surveillance was a capability."

>>1635946
>Brain
"Actually yes, a lot of the alien superstructure contains Solar Based energy panels. Not sure about the balloon idea though, but if we were to build airships putting solar panels on them would be a good idea."

>>1635938
Am I the only one who hates that robot design?

Anyway. Fissile materials are for our military robots.

We should research alien power generation, we have their storage tech now we need to figure out how they generate it.

Also, wouldn't solar panels on the roofs also decrease the heat?

>>1635964
>Also, wouldn't solar panels on the roofs also decrease the heat?

>Brain
"To a minimal extent, not nearly as much as roof gardens."

>>1635954
Perhaps we ought to dial back on the surveillance. Let people at least have privacy at home.

>>1635954
What about deploying the Airships into space so there is nothing stopping it from soaking in pure sunlight?

>>1635971
Staph, No.

>>1635970
There's almost infinite space around us to build solar panels. Let's leave the roofs for gardens, it also has the benefit of increasing food production. If we get a house keeping big in every home then it can also tend to the garden.

>>1635973
"then they would be spaceships not airships."

>>1635973
Come on man. Don't you think this is going overboard?

I Think we should keep our surveilance up everywhere else, but let people opt out of it being in there home.

When/If we bring in the Alexa/Big brother system, I see people actually wanting it in there life and not minding it as much. Similar to how no one cares that google/apple tracks us today.

>>1635979
Honestly, No. We need to just let it be and keep people busy.

>>1635976
Fair enough. How long would it take to RnD the Power Source of the alien craft?

>>1635979
we just have to sell it. It's not for surveillance, its for personal aid- it ties into house electronics and the mr handy and the central computer so you never have to run out of something. It's like having living with your landlord, but he's a ghost and doesn't want to get paid.

>>1635979
I agree with this anon... Wayyyy too much snooping and not enough processing power to deal with what data we have

>>1635976
I mean the biggest hurdle for satellite tech and other stuff is getting it into space, and we have a reusable spaceship at our disposal. Just attach a mount to the scout craft and we can fly up and drop satellites off in LEO.

>>1635989
we just have to set up the software. A agent AI should be able to handle most of the raw data.

>>1635992
>Brain
"Ah, low orbital satelite's eh? I believe that is doable."

>>1635999
You know, I was thinking of suggesting we put some spy satellites out there. Can we do tungsten rod weapon thing too?

>>1636013
there's already nukes and shit up there. Honestly I'd suggest getting a space station up and getting to work on mining the asteroid belt.

>>1636014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Sq1Nr58hM

>>1635989
Actually if I might just chip in it's never been stated that you lack the processing power for this system.

In fact once you get a AI taking care of the observation side of thing, you can point out to people it's no worse than having a Mr handy that can call the police and shit present everywhere. If they wouldn't object to such robotic helpers, who have excellent hearing, present in their home then this isn't too much worse.

Anyhow, this system can benefit them too by acting as a calendar, home security system, phone and so on. Plus the next generation will grow up knowing that this system is here and thinking it normal, so we just need to wait sometime for the old guard to age and get used to it.


>>1636013

>>1636064
It actually went pretty well, all things considered. We ended up negotiating a treaty with the NCR which included trade and border agreements. We didn't agree to alienating ourselves with the NCR's enemies as it was a preliminary treaty.

Several designs for new and larger chasis for the Mark V software are devised, you have enough scientists to have several persons suggest bot types in a holographic design board.

First is, literally a "Bigger Securitron". Its slightly slower, much heavier, but fires Missile Launcher Missiles and instead of a Gatling Laser has a Gatling Cannon.

The next is something Riddick actually helped to devise, based on something else he saw from "another galaxy." It's VERY heavily armored and uses a lot of metal uses that strange Bounty hunter Bolt Gun with explosive penetrating rounds but fired in in Gatling style. Its other arm can fit either a "Twin-linked Medium Laser Canon" or a melee weapon such as a claw for punching or crushing or smashing. It's heavily armored, and even includes a tiny mortar/heavy grenade launcher on the back. He calls it Dreadbots, and says it would work even better if we put a willing intelligent brain in it.

Dr. 0 invents an his own "Alienator" bot. Based on the Alien Drone, it uses lightweight but sturdy alien metal for by far some of the best armor protection for its weight, and can fire a multipurpose Disintegrator weapon that has different functions, such as making a big ball of disintegration to launch, or firing off a constant small beam of disintegration, or rapidly fire in short bursts. It comes in wheeled or hover form.

Kreger and the Devil's brigade make more designs based on the constraints presented by the Divide. His "Divide-bot Base" is modular, able to fit more variety of weapons, and so isn't as heavily armored but can accept modular armor upgrades.

Some specific sub-sets he's devised include "Firebots" in which one robot holds a tank of napalm and the other holds a large, super pressured hose canon able to lob a stream of sticky flame over many yards. Another is a "Hook Bot" which has an advanced targeting system and several chain harpoon canons tipped with a saturnite blade. It detects missiles in mid air, or enemy personnel and launches the harpoon to detonate it before it hits the bot. In such a way it can also be used to scale vertical surfaces. "Flailbot" which has a large rotational cylindar and spins several flails around really fast, to detonate mines on the ground and act as a terrifying melee attacker.

AXE-MAN develops AXE-MAN AXER BOT. It has six arms with axes made of Saturnite, hovers, and has jet boosters. It has heavy frontal armor.

Let's spend the Hero action next turn explaining why it's important and our future smart home plan with it.

Let's also use a Civ action to reintroduce a luxury item for our people - like creating a still to make alcohol.

>>1635518
>Clean out the toxins plant

>>1636093
Dr. 8 develops the Sonic-Bot. It launches a very powerful, painful blast of deafening sound at a place. Used in groups it can even cause small earthquakes and buildings to crumble, and even make missiles fly off course. However it can disrupt other nearby non-Sonic bots.

Dr. Dala wants to develop a Mesma-bot, but requests more brains.

>>1636085
>>1635954
The Brain suggested making the surveillance more subtle so they don't realize they're being watched, or wouldn't care. So propositions were made to integrate it with existing services like housekeepers, or real world social media's surveillance.

>>1636093
>Because right now you have this capability.

Mother of god...

>>1636093
I mean, I own it for the Xbox and PC. So you want me to QM? I can't promise the picture quality will be good tho.

>>1636112
I don't need you too, but it would be nice. I'll accept Ms paint or any sort of visual idea.

Personally I'd even enjoy some actual descriptions that's the key part.

We need to use our research action to develop our Alexa/Big Brother AI, otherwise we wont get much out of the system.

Picked up a name to help with confusion.

>>1636093
I'm thinking a mix of Dreadbots (frontline infantry), Hover Alienators (raiding skirmishers) and a few hook and flail bots would work well.

Which is the easiest to mass produce QM?

>>1636125
None, they're all very resource intensive. Still, you can make them all.

Maybe if you built a robot factory.

>>1636124
Agreed.

So our next turn action is looking like this:

>HERO
Explain the importance of and future plans for our survailence state

>CIV
Set up scavenge parties for Trona to get passive scrap every turn

>CONSTRUCTION
Build a bar for the populace with a still and radio

>MILITARY
Convince our soldiers (especially the older ones) of the need for augmentations

>RESEARCH
Work on an intelligence AI to sift through the data

>>1636093
>>1636100

Jeez. I didn't think we'd have so many designs.
I'd rather have we just use one or two versions to keep things simple.

That said, let's go with Riddick's dreadbots

>>1636123
Whelp. It's gonna be a few hours. You need to be level 15 to get the quest but I can quickly burn through stuff. I'll post hopefully by the end of the night.

>>1636135
I will support this.

>>1636137
It would help if perhaps you had some objectives in mind when you had actions like those. But hey, it just means you have more blueprints.

>>1636125
Yeah this sounds good. One heavy design and one light and fast design. Going more will just make shit complicated.

I say the ratio should be 1 dreadbot to 2 akuenator

The Divide Base bots seem to be the most customizable however, able to adabt to whatever situation we equip it for.

Worth considering.

>>1636145
I actually did have idea for future upgrades. After we get new design, we should research mark 6 software to work without berserking. After we do that, we start working on absolutely new design of robots, using alien robot remains, bounty hunter armors and weapons, and all that we know about alien tech. For this I wanted to suggest using robot research boon.
The idea is to make universal warbot but only a little bit bigger than what we have now, maybe the size of super mutants.

>>1636149
>I say the ratio should be 1 dreadbot to 2 akuenator
>akuenator
>aku
So that's who created the Berserk AI virus.

>>1636171
AND THE COURIER WHO WAS THROWN FAR INTO THE FUTURE. WHERE MY NCR IS LAW.

>>1636176
Wouldn't that be the lone survivor though?

>>1636145
I think the most important thing is to be able easily upgrade existing bots to new designs.

>>1636137
I like the dreadbots. Regearing them for different opponents should be simple enough.

>>1636182
Yeah, a lot of the other bots are sort of dead enders, where at least the devils brigade suggest modular type bots.

You know what, I'm gonna join this quest again.
For robots idea i have 2.
1st is a hover eyebot/Mr Handy with tentacle limbs, it's meant for good speed, scouting and multi purpose tasks. I call it the balloon bot.
the 2nd is to upgrade our securitrons to be bastion from overwatch, having 3 forms it can switch between Turret, vehicle and bipedal.

>>1636176
>WHERE MY NCR IS LAW.
>>1636071
>Turns out the NCR's new government is basically fascism, highly reminiscent of Nazism.
>>1633629
>tfw the NCR's new president is literally Aku.

>>1636093
>>1636196
A scout bot would be great, because we don't get enough intel from our enemies.

>CIV
>Scrap the inferior mills and all of the roboscorpions, then build as many MarkV as we can.

>>1635463
More Mark V's are built. At long last, you can actually make Securitrons! At least, the standard ones can be produced en masse.

>>1636093
Can the AXER BOT spin with its axes becoming a beyblade of death?

>>1636214
YES

>>1636216
ohhhhhhh, i think i'm gonna add axes and spin jets to my balloon bot idea.

>>1636203
I'm sure alienator on hover platform can cover that.

>>1636219
>Axe Man
"I 100% approve this idea. AXE MAN."

>>1636221
I just realized i'm making a jellyfish/octopus bot that spins like a beyblade.
I'm the best.

>>1636196
>>1636219
>>1636229
This is like having Manhacks on steroids.

>>1636236
And don't forget, my balloon design can still act as a scout and matrix robot on top of being a beyblade.

>>1636214
we can then give it the beserker programming...

>>1636246
Apparently we CAN make WMD's

Enough about the jellyfish bot of death, what do you guys think about making our securitrons bastions?

>>1636241
Taking some of the most annoying enemies in games and turning them into a nightmare? Impressive.
>matrix robot
The design also reminds me of the Ceph Scouts come to think of it.
>>1636246
>>1636249
Well this escalated quickly.

>>1636246
Oh God...

>>1636251
>>1636182
>>1636170
>>1636093
It's a good idea, but we should wait until we get the Mark 6 software before we try dedicated war designs like that. We should go with the Divide-bot Base for now so we can swap it easier.

>>1636261
Yea sure, i was thinking we go Jellyfish scouts and frontline bastions while Divide bots are customized to fill in weaknesses.

>>1636196
>>1636265
Mm... Bueno. Best part is that'll make a vesartile doctrine.
>>1636093
>>1636128
Now we need to figure out where we're going to get all the metal for this.

>>1636284
Trona and the divide, plus that mining blimp idea that i have to admit is good despite my loathing of the anon that came up with it.

>>1636286
lol
>>1636284
>>1636071
Another idea is since we have a trade agreement with the NCR, and the destruction of the Hoover Dam severely sets back their power capacity, we could make another power plant and sell the surplus electricity generated from it. Which would help with our future plans to make the Sierra Madre Machines use electricity + matter to make our products.
Plus, like Mr. House's agreements, they'll be much more reluctant to wage war on us if it means losing their power source.

>>1636292
The policy of Autarky that the Colonel mentioned leads me to think that they won't be inclinded to trade with us.

They'd realise that they would be depending on an external power for electricity (against the principles of autarky)

Also, they are probably using the metal we want for their own war effort.

It may be worth scouting to the south of Newberry

>>1636295
Another good idea is raiding the Legion with our alien scout ship.

You finished on your own personal project as well.

An office structure for the Secretary of Infrastructure Mr. Jacob Miles, plus a smooth talking AI with "her" own robot body.

He doesn't know what to say other than thank you. He seems a bit skeptical (possibly wondering if you aren't just some insane megalomaniac) but its quite obvious to you he greatly enjoys the promotion.

>>1636298
Are we the alien abductors now? I love it.

>>1636303
>Wondering if we aren't
We should clear up that we are an insane megalomaniac.

>>1636306
We're not gonna bring the Legionnaires with us, just their weapons.
that we took from their dead bodies.

>>1636295
God damn it, we just got preemptively cucked by President Yaunker again.
So what does the NCR have to trade if they're diverting all they can get to the war effort, besides propaganda?

>>1636298
True, but the alien scout ship might draw too much attention. Could we disguise it to make it look more modern when we do these raids?
>>1636306
Yep, but less dickish about it.

>>1636310
What about there livestock and slaves?

>>1636309
No.

>>1636313
Those too, but primarily the metal.

>>1636298
Yeah, good call. It would reveal it as our weapon though. We could always just retrofit the vertabird to use alien power cells and use that.

What we really need is to control the titanium deposit in the south of Nevada.

>>1636303
>plus a smooth talking AI with "her" own robot body.
>He seems a bit skeptical (possibly wondering if you aren't just some insane megalomaniac)
Our actual plans are to turn him robosexual, for the good of the Phoenix Commonwealth of course.

>>1636295
We agreed on borders already. South of Newberry is NCR territory, and was before hand.

>>1636312
>Brain
"I wonder that myself. You might want to see or send someone to talk to that trade negotiator of theirs."

>>1636312
They did say they were willing to do a limited trade. We probably should ask about that in a turn or two.

Also, I realized that we didn't ask about ncr allies, if they have any. Or at least neutral powers

>>1636322
Is that a free action?
It is probably better if we go ourselves. I don't think anyone else has the mix of max int cha speech and barter as we do.

OP, would PA research be included in extra robotics research action since they overlap so much or de we need to build a facility for that?

>>1636204
How many securitons do we have in total now?

>>1636340
Power Armor for humans will require something seprate entirely.

>>1636350

Something that occurred to me when >>1636241 talked about matrix robots was the source material we are in.

Some people here are struggling to deal with the fact we might not have enough computing power to use the surveillance state? What if we turned our enemy soldiers into our processors? The basic idea exists in fallout and we can wipe their personalities and take their bodies for making more lobo's / SCIENCE!

It wouldn't even be that difficult since our alien metal science robots can, in groups of 3, lift an average man. So if we deploy 5 of them for every Legion CQC specialist, we can literally carry away their army for...re-purposing.

This is before mentioning the potential to raid their brains for important information about enemy operations and bases along with the possibility of retrieving information about their tactics and such. Imagine if we could dedicate dozens of human minds to literally simulating battles endlessly as the commanders of different sides, equipped with our resources, against each other and "virtual" enemies. To develop tactics, designs and methods of combat, industry and other such things.

It's not much a case of processing power. It's a case of attention span. Going through 24/7 surveilance videos is, well, boring. A bit awkward, but very monotonous.

A number of people off about the home surveilance. There's some people trying to cover them up, and some outright refuse to have them installed. Some talk about leaving "like Oddball's gang did" but you've got the place so well covered and the tunnels guarded.

The rest don't seem to care much and are more aggravated by the lack of goods and luxuries.

Why do we need human brains? If its pure processing power, then use cows, or dog/nightstalker brains. We know dog brain processors are already a thing.
It would also be more acceptable.

If you splice a robot and a nightstalker you get a crazy angry robobrain

50 more Securitron MKV's have been constructed from your Robotics Research Facility. It is somewhat more dedicated for research than production like a true factory, but fits the bill.

True but robo-brain's / the products of this won't have an attention span. Plus we can remove the parts of the Brain responsible for sexual urges, making them effectively brain dead Eunuchs. Not to mention the brain storage systems may be cheaper than comparatively powerful conventional computers, especially on a large scale.

>>1636555
Human brains are something we will be getting any way as we fight the Legion, it'd be a waste to just let them be destroyed / rot. Anyhow if you are already killing them then does it really matter what you do with their body? Seeing as our alternative weapons are explosives, disintegration or swiss cheese making guns.

Also the products of that facility can't leave it and that means we would have to figure out why they can live in there and expand it to store the brains.

Depends how deeply you scrub the Brain's primarily.

"True but every bit of the Brain not related to processing the data we are showing it we remove makes their storage more efficient but if we don't need to do that I guess we can avoid it."


>>1636601
What about the sub-dermal armour and the perception ones? I'd also argue that luck might not be that useful compared to, say, strength or agility depending on if the troops are ranged or melee specialists.

>>1636590
the nightstalker brain bots was more proof of concept.
If we're going to be harvesting brains, we would need to do so with in 20 ish minutes of death, so we won't be getting much from any firefights, plus brain damage from explosive shockwaves, head shots, fire.

We can also get 2 brains every time we slaughter a brahmin, so they are in close supply. Also we may be able to replicate brains if we scanned them.

>>1636611
>the nightstalker brain bots was more proof of concept.
Fair enough and I never said it wasn't a good idea but it just has a few problems you'd need to sort.

>If we're going to be harvesting brains, we would need to do so with in 20 ish minutes of death
Okay, just avoid killing them until we are within such a distance of a extraction facility or design a droid to latch on to them and extract their brain's that other droids could being them to.

>so we won't be getting much from any firefights, plus brain damage from explosive shockwaves, head shots, fire.
True but who said the brain's need to be in perfect condition? Anyhow we can easily make use of melee robots and repair / reproduction facilities to eliminate the risks.

>>1636601

So next turn

Construction - Solar Farms

What else?

>>1636630
sure, yeah.

>>1636630
>>1636633
I'd argue we should drop the luck one since it provides less benefits on the scale of a army. Plus the number of augments we give them limits our recruiting base based off of their endurance. Although we might be able to research to reduce the problems caused by implants / make them smaller or something.

>>1636637
Do we want to construct solar farms, or do we want to research fusion reactors and build those?

research saturnite?
civ acttion- make glass?

>>1636646
Honestly, We could do both. Build the Solar farms as a stop gap while researching the fusion reactors as a long term solution on the same turn.

Thoughts?

>>1636643
I don't mind about luck.

I just think it would confer an 'unknown' bonus on our troops. No drama if we don't give it to them though.

>>1636646
Is probably argue for solar farms as they are proven tech and would address our power problems now.

I'd probably also use our civ action to further increase luxuries. Maybe by building a theatre or boxing ring?

>>1636648
sure. Solar will take up glass though, so we definitely have to do that.

>>1636653
Is there a way to work on luxuries with our hero action, because as anon pointed out >>1636654
We need the glass if we want to set up the solar farms.

Thoughts?

We need to set up or produce some alcohol / chems for our citizens since the providers of such things have left our population and it is negatively impacting morale.

We should also look into constructing a "food production" facility / kitchen to refine their rations into actual food for them. Connect it into the planned Alexa function of the observation system (which is what we should call it instead of surveillance, makes it sound more scientific and innocent) so they can order food in from a central facility, have robots produce it and robots transport it maybe? That or we have them pick it up from the facility or even eat there?

We should also look into further expansion of the farms and possibly converting them into greenhouses (allows more exotic crops, reduces water loss, reduces risk of infections / parasites spreading, etc) with robotic arms (suspended from the roof) working them instead of humans. Arms as it would reduce the electrical needs and the resources compared to actual robots while allowing our population to work in other areas.


Also a general note, since the NCR now knows about us, no reason not to start building trains and pipelines and shit.

>>1636666
We should have defrosted the TV chef, not the trucker.

>>1636666
If you are looking at a cafeteria, we did produce that hand drawn blueprint a couple of threads back for one. Op May give us a bonus for it.

>>1636682
Is it built already? I could have sworn we built it.

>>1636683
To my knowledge it is not. But I'm not 100% on that and could quite possibly be wrong.

>>1636676
That isn't the problem.

The problem is we are providing these people with Salient green and expecting them to refine it into actual food. Which is a kinda skillful thing to do even if it isn't that hard for most plants.


Also even if that wasn't the problem, how would having a single good chef be useful? Especially since she might not have any experience with cooking with only what we have and in large quantities.

Hell seeing as fallout is 1950's culture, she will be specialised in "french" "upper class" "food". Which is a lie: that style of cooking produces terrible meals that couldn't fill a fly let alone a man. At very high cost. Since it's all about flavour and the experience than actual effect.

>>1636689
>Brain
"Well we are providing for peoples fill, and it is flavour they are after."

>>1636703
"How easily could we improve the rations? Making them more...tasteful?

Could we produce soup stock cubes or something and provide them?"

>>1636707

"As mentioned, building a kitchen restaurant or bar where someone with skill could cook would be good. The people of cooking skill have left.

We can already produce canned goods from the Sierra Madre Machines."

If provsbly save our research for something more immediately required - like the FEV lab, power armour, alien power tech or robot upgrades.

So we should probably begin composing a list of functions that the Alexa function could and should have.

Obvious ones are functioning as a calendar, an alarm clock (increases productivity), cookbook (gets around the food problem pretty well), weather adviser, news reporter, music player and a messaging system.

Some of the others I would suggest would be acting as a accountant and legal adviser (in regards to things like marrying and shit, not criminal law).

"It would cut deeper into our food when we use fuel for our scavenging actions, as well as paper for our scientific purposes. But, realistically, enough to supply everyone with a safe daily ration and limited effects of withdrawal that can be treated by fixxer.

This particular drug was once thought to promote lazyness and unproductivity, but I've been doing some actual research to the contrary. It does, over time, promote some slight dependency but as mentioned this is treated by fixer.

I do recommend perhaps offering alternative means of using aside from smoking which does cause lung damage, if regulted human consumption is your goal. Records indicate that hookahs, within edible pastries or brownies, and even chem-pill and topical cream forms are other routes.

It's a relatively low level chem that isn't as popular, but not as harmful, as say Jet or Psycho. It won't significantly increase happiness, but I feel its a step in the right direction."

"All of that is technically right, but on the street it takes another ugly turn. It's something of a gateway chem. Dealers tend to mix other chems into it, and then suggest people try those instead."

"People want stimulation. I think that's one of the things Odd Ball said. Why not provide them better things to do than just using weed. I'm against its use on principle of being a follower, especially if we can provide other means of entertainment, but if it must be used I'd hope it's not the only thing people are going to be doing."

>>1636808
TV, radio, music, video games, having hobbies. I've been recommending we promote these since the start and i suggest we use these instead of weed first.

"Well seeing as we can make the mixing of drugs without the knowledge of the consumer illegal and enforce it thanks to our observation network. That is of little risk, especially since we will be the ones providing.

As to consumption methods, what about extracting the chemical element from the hemp and storing it in water or something to be vaporised for consumption by humans? As that would leave the physical leaf / biological matter behind for use producing paper or fuel."

Yes I am suggesting Vape. No I don't think this is a good idea. Yes I am suggesting it anyway.

"I wouldn't ask of you anything I wouldn't do myself. And I have. To greater extents"

Because Vaping, in real life, is the most hipster thing. It makes the consumption of a drug "safe" and pisses me off by merely existing.

Especially since in real life people think it is actually safe, not realising the fact that Nicotine does damage the human body and the other chemicals it removes are just additionally damaging. Plus it kinda normalises smoking and all that shit.


However in the Fallout verse with medical tech being advanced as it is? And far more dangerous drugs being easily produced? I am going to endorse it's use for the safety benefits it does have over more conventional methods.

>>1636870

"I've heard of Vaping through the records, and I wouldn't recommend it. I do believe however, that we could distill it into a form that can be smoked akin to a Hookah for a more potent effect rather than the traditional method."

And then you have people who think that because its "just vapor" its suddenly ok to do it in a public space INDOORS, like it doesn't affect people, or that everyone enjoys the air tasting of fake strawberries.

>>1636883
"I'd personally lower the concentration, that way we can spend less of our produce on this without reducing the ration's size."


>>1636884
Yeah it gets into clothes just the same and the second hand smoking effects still remain.

I have no problem with smoking surprisingly compared to vaping.

>Brain
"You know, there is one more, perhaps, controversial and risky option that might substitute all chems. Everywhere.

Implants. Through implants, we can pretty much stimulate the various centers of the brain directly, particularly pleasure centers.

This can be done even without the risk of addicition. . .theoretically. At least, you yourself aren't /physically/ addicted to your GRX implant.

But there may be long term mental instabilities not accounted for. Maybe there aren't. I'm not so sure, that's a long term project. Still, if there's a problem we should be able to turn them off remotely, but allowing that feature also presents possible security issues.

Either we make it as your implant, unmodifiable, and run the risk of having to individually and surgically modify peoples implants if there are issues. Or we allow them to be remotely adjustable to new problems, but bear the risk of someone else remotely adjusting them for ill means.

I suppose this is true of your soldiers implants. That said, since the implants you have on myself aren't causing you problem, I may simply be overestimating the risk here. Imagine if it all went well and people could have their cake and eat it too. It's entirely possible to alter the brain so that people eating salient green feel as though they are eating a piece of steak."

>>1636909
eh no. We want people to have experiences based on reality.

>>1636909
"Well chances are we can make the implants self modifying to some degree by networking them together and adding some sensors that can detect things like heart rate, blood pressure and such. So it can vaguely tell the shape it's user's body is in and adjust even if only slightly."

We chip people, it relay's their health constantly to the central computer, but also serves as a tracking mechanism and credit card and ID all in one?
Should probably make that optional, but make it inconvenient to not have one.

>>1636947
But not like, for everything. Use VR to experience things you can't normally experience, but also go out and experience the real world. Can't have the good without the bad to compare it to.

>>1636946
NO!

>>1636953
Well we could do that but we would want to make the data release insular: never will data go into the body, only out. If we want to modify the OS of the internal augments, they will need surgery. Safety is too important to risk.

>>1636967
Of course. The chip doesn't hold any information other than the citizen identifier. That is used to access the citizen profile kept in the central computers.

>>1636974
Of course. Just making sure we understand each other and what this tech could do if misused.


I could see the utility of being able to "ping" their augments for medical checkups. Imagine it: a doctor instantly being able to check your heart rate over the last week along with pressure, blood sugar and so on.

"If I were you I'd have more faith in implants, not just because of your efforts to modify your soldiers but your own health.

>Explain the importance of and future plans for our surveillance state

You try your best to satiate the mass with your silver tongue, and it is marginally effective. You insist that these are purely for security reasons, and the importance of the "surveillance state." Especially because these "future plans" are rather vague.

You've helped some, but people still aren't fully buying it. Morale is still improved, slightly, but it needs some serious help.

This is currently not possible due to distance and danger issues. Trona is very far away with so few safe lanes in between.
