Human Race - a 4x Human vs Planet PVE Arms Race
« on: October 14, 2018, 10:02:44 pm »

Human beings are a disease, cancer of their own planet. And they have spread.

Like a virus they multiply, moving from area to area until every natural resource is consumed and they have to find new lands to exploit.

In the near future, visionary men have, against all odds, managed to lift our species out of the crab buckets of our civilizations and into the stars. Yet humanity took its greed with it. The corporations, slaves to usury, used humanity's newfound reach to grasp new worlds in their claws...

Deathworld Infectionator, human edition.
A PVE player faction vs planet 4x game

A campaign of resource exploitation with combat and R&D in an escalating conflict against a virgin planet.

You are colonists from the evil Weyland Yutani corporation. You are sent on a very long voyage across the stars to set up shop and exploit a virgin world.

Tech Level: The flavour is near-future space exploration. All the tech we have today is scaled up within foreseeable limits. Rockets are cheaper and bigger and can take our mining equipment up. Cyrogenics are working better to facilitate long distance space flight. Inter-stellar ion engines have also been scaled up and produced more cheaply. Power-suits are more practical and more common.

21st Century earth doesn't even have a practical working theory for FTL much less prototypes, so we don't get that. But everything else exists within the boundaries of existing tech and is scaled up a bit.

Resources:

Crew Requirements::
Crew needs are per shift. Your average technician works for 8 hours every 24 without performance drops. To staff a vehicle or facility for continuous operation, triple the crew needs are required.

Non Combatants:

Heavy Machinery - Mining

Mining yields: Mines will have a richness that is multiplied again a base number of 0.1% for common metal ores and 1 ppm for rare materials. A mine with 200% richness can yield 0.2% common metal ores, etc.

You also need to thaw out some humans, but you don't have enough greenhouses to feed all of them yet.

Remember 1 hectare of greenhouse space feeds about 18. (oh potato, how i adore thee...)

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

What the hell, I'll try my hand at Chef. I'm a fine-grain blend of sci-fi geek AND nerd, baby, probably a little weeaboo in there too. I'm sure I can think of a few things.

Better keep me happy, though. Potatoes bland are nasty, and I guard the ketchup, salt, and bleu cheese dipping sauce.  8)

Up to you. If you want the Planet team, I suggest the GM team thread.

I expect to need some good security soon but we need the resources sooner, so it could work
