http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=170472.0^ Madman’s thread. Well hope it picks up. Got situations in mind.
Well due to popular demand. The OP will discuss stats and things.
Clan stats.
Combat: At 1-4 Get a negative modifier on Combat. 5-8 Get no modifier at all. And from there every four levels is a plus. 9-12 is +1. 13-16 is + 2 And 17-20 is + 3 in Combat. Attacking, defending, how wired your readiness and reaction time is.
Tech: How well you work with complex ancestor tech in events. It also affects how complex your inventions in Arms Race can be. Because if your day level four and try making a teleported, well get minus modifier to it. Where at 20 Get a plus modifier to over ride complexity.
Explore: How fast your people move through wilderness and how likely not to be detected. Though sensors, scanners and stuff can null it. Also cuts travel time down, as in going through environments take less day travel. And finally modifies how likely your explorers survive in the wild should they sleep out in the wild.
Search: Dicates how likely to find and how useful it is. More points in, better results.
Craft: This is super important as it decides how well you craft home made items and the resource price of said item. Higher means only the minimal is needed.
Engineering: How likely building things base wise will work.
Farm: Okay this one is simple. Each level of this is represent with two zeros at end of stat. 1 is 100 food Units (plant) while 20 is in reality 2,000.
Tame: Like farm but animal food And decides to tame wild animals and bring them to fold. Also animal resources (meat, hide, chitin, and bone) And If one started in higher level got exotic critters at start (Beast Lords/Nonads are proof.)
Medical: The more points spent in this. More likely your people will survive injuries, poison, disease and chance of recovering fast. So less chance of cripple/retirement.
As for treasures. I am making the list treasures no one has or is npc controlled.
Idea Matrix: A super advanced computer lab that calculates many things.
Effect: Two Arms race things a turn.
Fortress: Basically a massive, well protected castle armed with many cannons.
Access Tunnels: As name sounds can now travel under the “ground” in service tunnels for extra quick travel and can even go under the walls
Fusion Engine: In reality o s Of Main engines of the ship. With this infinite battery charge. And can make Energy Sphere as currency, something with more juice than a power cell.
Clone Vats: + 15 to medical as endless supply of body tissue to repair flesh. Can take it a step further and clone up armies at will. Roll for people each time. Recharge every three turns there.
The Universal Memory: This treasure is a true power house. The secret knowledge of the fore fathers. Biggest computer ever.
Effect: Whatever your tech stat was? Now full 20. As you can get ideas and figure out all the advances that were once lost. Still got to try to reapply though. Also adds 1 point in Arms Race.
Weather Control Unit: With this treasure. One is able to control the controlled settings of weather in the Ark ship. In essence using the weather to your advantage.
Effect: Change weather once every two turns. From rain to boost food, to freak disasters to wreck enemy factions. Scholar/high tech rating dictates roll results.
The Organic Refinery: A Organic building. For weird industry.
Effect: Put food in as materials and crafts items like nano factory.
The Mana Tree: A massive tree that feeds on soil, energy in air as well. Also constantly growing.
Effect: Farm eating boosted by 15. Also generate 50 lumber units each turn.
The Battle Academy: State of the art combat stimulation academy that taught war fare before strife.
Effects: +8 Combat and generates three free tactics. Get to decide what or so forth.
The Hive Network: A array and system of implants. Grants one people, to act with precision of one mind, one goal, one super organism in action.
Effect: No morale issues. No disobedience. All function as long they can.
Eidolon Network: Basically tribe that has this Can now talk to o e another no matter the distance like blue tooth head sets with tracking units and unlimited distance.
Genetic Vault: It grows only organic material and synth meals. Can apply genetic tampering to pre existing things though.
Cyborg Factory: A factory that allows for cheap and easy replacement of cybernetic parts to graft onto willing human bodies. With this no need to research cyborg upgrades instead. Hold.
Dream Twister: Now in the soft science fiction section. If a tribe owns this, can take strong willed individuals and make them psionics capable. Closest thing to magic aside fudging with a quantum engine or something.
Generation Rules:
Every twenty turns a generation passes. Each generation, leader characters get older and officers and more people show up in clans. Thinking current time limit is 120 or 6 generations. There are ways to extend time limit.
Also this is a different SG because here it affects growth of colony/tribe in stats and situation.
Book of Law: Basically allows or disbands new ideas.
Arms Race: Three rolls. 1/6 each.
Three catergories are actual realization of project. ( 1 means it never leaves resting, let alone usable. While 6 is mastery.)
Next is “price” or how easy to make.
1 means only one tops. 6 means whole base can have it with time.
Last is bugs/Bonus. At 1 bs fudge up system with a draw back. 3-4 means no bug but no boob. 5-6 means boom or a bonus feature that makes it even more useful.
To follow: Item list. Which is below. Will do stats of them latter.
Gear: Note can revise or make own stuff. The below are samples. Please note one can keep making new stuff in Arms Race.

Last thing to do is Resources. Looking them up again as I got it on this thread.
Resources:
1: Meat: Sometimes you do not want to know what kind. But is capable of fending off hunger. 1 food unit.
2: Fruits: Exotic plants with mild acidic juice and has sugar/vitamins. 1 food unit.
3: Vegetables: Super healthy home grown plants packed with minerals. 1 food unit. Includes wheat/bread and rice are types here.
4: Synth Rations: Artificial food packets for the military. Counts as ten dinners.
5: Spices: Doubles the taste factor of meat so cuts feeding price down from one whole unit a person to half.
6: Oils: Used in medicine to treat minor injuries. Fuel vehicles and can mix salad with it (or straight up eat it.)’Oil in this game is not fossil fuel but bio diesel that is capable of consumption.
7: Bones: Can Craft things from these animal bones.
8: Plant Fibers: Long strains of plant fiber, this stuff can be crafted to useful things like additional armor or rope.
9: Batteries: Most useful form of currency/worth its weight in gold. It also powers all hand held tools that need power (including most fire arms.) and they all can recharge at charging stations at home bases.
10: Hides: Animal skin, can be used in ways.
11: Lumber: For trade, craft, fire or even fuel.
12: Ore: Chunk of metal. Either mine the ship (Which can cause structure damage.) Melt down scrap to this refined form, or the lithosphere.
13: Scrap Metal: Recyclable Metal.
14: Runic Core: Computer Chips With runes on them. They are for programming and power. Mainly crafting. Said runes house AI programs.
15: Power Cell: Big battery, for vehicles.
16: Spare Parts: Many useful spare parts to aid on engineering and crafting.
17: Computer Chips: Money or actual data files used to teach new things.
18: Coal: Fuel or trade.
19: Seeds: For planting/farming.
20: Ammunition: Could be money due to usefulness. But these bullets are for non energy guns. Bullets/slug throwers.
21: Alcohol: Drink that clouds the mind but makes one forget the troubles of the world.
22: Medical Supplies: needed only when people are injured/poisoned/sick. Enhances medical stat roll when applied in situation.
23: Chitin: Gigantic shell scales, has many uses.
24: Slaves: if one makes book of law with Slavery. Then this is allowed.
25: Stone: Special stone from Lithosphere maker. Or from bio domes.
26: Fusion Sphere: Made from the Fusion Engine treasure. A sphere in a malleable conhension field and clean energy means safe to be hand held. Mega boost to power demands. Be warned if damaged can go off like a nuclear device though.
27: Magnetic Ore: Ore that has properties to scramble electronics.
28: Genesis Pods: Kind of like Clone Vats or Genetic Vault, as long attached to a power source. Can grow new biological matter. Including people.
And I know I keep throwing the term tactics. So here we go with that.
Using the surrounding area and gear to maximum efficiency. Like using cover and spray tactics if one can find cover. Using explosives with air power for bombing runs, conserve vehicle ammo by running over/ramming things. S icing at the enemy who gives orders to minions. Without battle academy one must drill it into heads. Higher combat skill easier it is to learn/invent these things.
Another note: Officers.
Their roll: Extend 3 commands a turn up to 7. ( need two for that. As max a person can do is three.) and the rest? Plus modifiers in tribe actions.
Say have a warrior officer that leads troop, they get modifier.
Doctor officer? Less people dying.
Scholar? More likely to use the old tech.
And so forth.
If/when a leader dies a officer replaces them. If there is no chain of command, redo leader picks as one of the tribe takes over. As generations go by, people will die/be hindered due to old age. ( so unless invested in some things. People will die.) Though each generation turn (set at twenty) well. A bunch of villagers/tribals added into ranks anyway.
Last and final, the hidden stat revealed. Hope.
Everyone starts off 10/10 in Hope. If many people die or turn lag so people do nothing. It causes fall of hope. At first, negative modifiers. If 4 or below a tribal civil war may break out. At zero tribe dissolves as a power house and scatter. Becoming people resources to be picked up.
