I've seen a bit of it.
Not very much, though.
I'll guess that it blocks access between factions, as a sort of a natural barrier.

No natural fungus barrier between factions.

The transmissions were fairly strong now and it had been determined that they came from a faction calling themselves the Gaians lead by Honghu. Santiago waited on the river bank downstream of the suspected base for initial reports on the defensive capabilities of the Gaians. She imagined the possibilities, barely restraining herself from sending the rover team in without first assessing tactical possibilities.
There was a splash down by the riverbank and a dark figure called out the password "Marcus". The figure ran unerringly towards Santiago, before just coming short and saluting.
"Santiago we have located a base upstream and it is undefended." A glint of white could be seen in the darkness as the scout smiled.
"Excellent, the rover team will go up river. Lieutenant Dritiz, I want Kody brought here to oversee the surrender of the Gaians", Santiago ordered.
"Sir, why Kody? Surely there are others that are more trustworthy?" Lieutenant Dritiz asked hesitantly.
"While the leaders of other factions may be weaker than the Spartans, they are still leaders for a reason. They have the ability to inspire loyalty making them dangerous for anyone who will be in prolonged contact", Santiago explained. "Kody although he thinks I was unaware of his actions has already proven his worth. Those very same actions will also earn him the enmity of the other faction leaders if they should discover what he did. That secret will prevent any change in his loyalty."
"I have fought with you for over 12 years and I have not questioned your decisions before now. Kody has not been with us long enough to be trusted."
"I do not trust him, but he is a tool suited to this purpose. He has already given us a chance to gain supremacy by assassinating Captain Garland thus splitting the crew of the unity into separate factions. I sent Lieutenant Brizen to perform that mission with my own pistol. I found Brizen's corpse shortly afterwards definitely dead before he had time to reach the crew quarters. So I went to kill Garland myself, but the captain was dead when I got there. Kody handed back my pistol to the armoury as we organised at the escape pods."
"How can you be sure?"
"I had the bullet I removed from the Captain analysed after planetfall. It was from my gun."

Rover bumrush is on the way!
Problem is, I've botched up my beeline (mod 3) and can't decide on my next tech.
Anything I choose is techcrapular.

Frankychan you didn't mention the turn so I resent turn 2108 it just in case.
Reply to below:
Was I correct in my guess the turn didn't reach you for one reason or another?

Oh yeah another thing. I suggest that people try and avoid using the diplomancy box to talk. I heard that there was a problem with the diplomancy box so I tested it.
From what I saw it was even worse than what the bug list said. Not only is every message you ever made kept. But every turn the last three messages you have made get repeated again.
For example if someone types
"Chairman Geomodder: Hello, we're interested in industrial automation"
"Chairman Geomodder: Please give us 500ecs"
"Chairman Geomodder: I claim this land in the name of Jesus"
First turn the message goes around the save file permanently gets
quote:
"Chairman Geomodder: Hello, we're interested in industrial automation"
"Chairman Geomodder: Please give us 500ecs"
"Chairman Geomodder: I claim this land in the name of Jesus"
|
Second turn the message goes around the save file permanently gets
quote:
"Chairman Geomodder: Hello, we're interested in industrial automation"
"Chairman Geomodder: Please give us 500ecs"
"Chairman Geomodder: I claim this land in the name of Jesus"
"Chairman Geomodder: Hello, we're interested in industrial automation"
"Chairman Geomodder: Please give us 500ecs"
"Chairman Geomodder: I claim this land in the name of Jesus"
|
Third turn it gets
quote:
"Chairman Geomodder: Hello, we're interested in industrial automation"
"Chairman Geomodder: Please give us 500ecs"
"Chairman Geomodder: I claim this land in the name of Jesus"
"Chairman Geomodder: Hello, we're interested in industrial automation"
"Chairman Geomodder: Please give us 500ecs"
"Chairman Geomodder: I claim this land in the name of Jesus"
"Chairman Geomodder: Hello, we're interested in industrial automation"
"Chairman Geomodder: Please give us 500ecs"
"Chairman Geomodder: I claim this land in the name of Jesus"

I suspect this is why save files end up becoming 1MB in size after a long game. Everything you type gets repeated by how many turns are played since you wrote it. So you might end up with 300k of Chairman Geomodder repeating the same 3 lines over and over again. Talk about a broken record.

Wouldn't know.
I'll try it on my test scenerio when I finish watching this movie. Although it really needs a real CMN to test it on an mature game.
Edit:
Well I tried my best to remove the extra text, but can't figure out how to do it. I keep getting error messages whenever I edit the file and then try and load it.

Everybody seemed different today. There was a scent of fretfulness and nervousness hanging in the air.
Lady Hong stood in front of her tent. Her heart pained for the young men and women who carried on their duties despite their fear. It was her fault. Ever since the planet fall she had immersed herself to her labs, trying to understand the new world. She awaited everyday for the appearance of the whispered mindworms. She had not feared them. She wished to welcome them. She had even sent her personal guard, who had the only weapon in base, to explore deeper territory. He would not be back in time. Not that it mattered, he wouldn't be an equal counter part of what they were facing now after all.
From the flag in the rover that parked far away, she could see that what had come in front her was the worst that she could ever hope for. The Spartans ... Her soft hearted girls and dedicated bioscientists did not stand a chance to fight their years of harsh military training. They haven't even grown their first little forest yet. Fate is so unfair sometimes ... Lady Hong's heart bled with pain when she imagined the burnt tents and smoked trees ...
Perhaps they could surrender. And let the Spartans control her beloved planet. She could hear the silent screams from her heart. Nooo! She couldn't start to imagine what those ruthless bastards would do to her yet unborn farms and forests, and the unmet mindworms ... Perhaps we could fight them. They haven't attcked yet. She's already dispatched some of her strongest young men to fetch arms. We may not stand a chance but we will fight to death to protect our love and our faith. But should she just throw away the precious lifes of so many brilliant people whose only fault was trusting and following her?
She sighed softly and started to walk toward the Spartan rover. "Hong!" She turned back and met with a pair of concerned eyes. He hesitated, but didn't say anything more. HongHu forced a smile, "Don't worry, James. We'll be all right. "
