We are all here to learn though. So if it is not team specific, rather it is general game related, as long as Kody will post the same thing in all the teams, I wouldn't say it is not a good thing for people who are here to learn.

Still former. We can get a scout patrol from the second base if we want one then, and we'll only get 1 EC when completing a scout patrol.

If no one objects, I'll move the scout patrol first, then found base #1 when I play the turn, to try to increase whatever odds we have of finding native life.

Agree r/e move Spatrol first, then found base if looking for MW.

Our starting tech cost is 14. I have not selected a tech yet, not that it would cost anything to change it in 2101.

In the fungus, no worms were found, but more fungus awaits, as well as a unity pod!

I guess that we should move CP south then. Should we explore UP next turn hoping for Monolith/Bonuses or leave it for the time when we have Biogenetics and try to get Recycling tanks then? Anyway, because of the fungus in north I propose building second base somewhere south.

Sorry one of the other teams requested their starting techs so they could coordinate the mod3 beelines. Other teams also wanted to know and are waiting for their turn so I thought I might as well tell them so they can fill in time.

Science department should be created soon as other science departments have already been working flat out.

I suggest moving the CP north. Our third CP can take advantage of the greenery to our west-southwest. Unless it's all fungus to the north, and even then with Gaian fungal-munching, north is access to contact, future, and tasty looking western slopes. South is probably coastline and of course the south pole. Getting our northern limits clear is the biggest priority IMHO. But moving west (you said south, did you mean that?) has the advantage of being a little bit of a known quantity. So I'm fine with that if that's what everyone wants. North seems right to me though.

After doing research in GAIA, I would tend to agree that, since it is obvious where most fertile land is, we must move to north as fast as possible. However, I am still worried that there is a fungal wall, so we need to keep Scout nearby.

Northwestish looks fine to me, then. I propose we move pod #2 on top of the scout, and next turn move both north. In the coming turns, we should rush the former as soon as possible and start on a solar panel to get a 2-1-2 tile. Once the former is built, we can build a scout patrol to check out the east or serve as police, or we can start on a CP immediately (though we will need a doctor for at least a few turns in that case).

Though we don't really need to decide this until next turn, which tech is best, according to the beelines? Getting PlaNets too early isn't much of a help, unless we pop an energy credit pod, but getting IndEcon is of no direct benefit. Based on GAIA, we shouldn't have any next-door neighbors, so we can afford to skimp on defense for the time being. Based on that, I'd be inclined towards InfoNet as the first tech.

I'd say no. However, if your willing to keep a running log of your observations of the Gaians throughout this game, why I'd be very interested in reading it afterwards to see your observations at certain points in the game (and no going back and editing previous comments to reflect later outcomes! ).

I'm going to sleep now. If anyone dislikes the planned course of action, object in the next 9 hours or it'll be too late for this turn. I'll move the CP west and take an end-of-turn save, then forward the turn to whoever-it-is. (Who do I send turns to, anyway? I can figure out what faction comes next, but what's the email address?)

Unfortunately when I get stuck into the roleplay I might not be able to keep detailed logs of game specifics. Currently keeping a general journal.

Whenever I say big mistake most other people consider it a small mistake anyway. I call it an disaster when other people call it a big mistake. So no need to get stressed out. Also you guys picked it up what I was thinking of afterwards.

There is a topped turn tracking thread in main ACDG forum. Attach the save there.

If we pop the pod and get a tech before we complete our 1st tech research that would really slow us down.

I dunno, we should decide upon that pod later. I would prefer to pop it after we get Recycling Tanks - we could then set production of Gaia's Landing to RecTanks and pop the pod - there would be a chance to complete them immediately next turn, which is great. Monolith/bonuses would be great also. Tech - I dunno - it would mess with our beelines probably.

Restart due to a minor error in the game setup.

I'm advising Drogue to do the following so you guys don't have to replay.

*plant one base (because we don't want the mindworm as that would be different)
*build former, stockpile energy
*move scout west
*move 2nd colony pod west
*press endturn

The CP is in fungus. There's not much to worry about from random native life at this point, because a worm attacking a scout in fungus now has 3:4 odds, and on the off chance it wins, the CP should still be able to fend off what's left.

Next turn, I'll attempt to move the CP north first, and then move the scout north whether or not the CP made it into fungus. That way, there's no chance of finding native life without being able to attack/capture it.

Ah well, NW or W for the CP is very different than North. Now we are kinda stuck IMO. But you all seem to think that's the right thing to do, so go for it.

Not at all, I have some reservations to this plan, as trolling through fungus is a turn waste for me. I would try to move SP north and then CP either N or NW.
