How it works is that each person who owns it has to roll to contain it.  This applies to mad scientists too.. they can have escapes.  If you're simply transferring it, it's an easier check than if you're going to keep it in your base.  Mad scientists autopass all transfer attempts.
Would that be a roll every turn, or could somebody get lucky and receive a "stable" mad scientist project?

Do reverse engineered and then mass produced models suffer from any of these issues?

It's not impossible for mad scientist projects to be stable, and some of them are more stable than others.

There also isn't that much randomness in it.  If you've contained a project successfully, you're likely able to contain it indefinately.

Reverse-engineered models will be somewhat less dangerous, but removing the danger will in some cases reduce the capabilities.  You may direct the research if you want them to concentrate on making it safer or concentrate on reproducing its capabilities.

Also, although you can make close facsimilies of mad science weapons, you may not be fully capable of a complete reproduction of one, just producing blueprints for something comparable.

Lastly, if you want more information or advantages about these things, additional buildings could be researched to give more accurate information.

That's mad science for you.  Awesome powers, but strong tendacies to utterly destroy all human life.

BTW, if you deploy it under your banner, it can only return to your base, unless you tell it not to come back as part of your deployment orders.  If you want to transfer it to someone else, it won't get deployed this turn.  If it survives with orders to come back, it'll very likely go on another rampage, which will either cause more damage, or cause more damage and it'll escape.

Plus you're not sure who can handle it, because someone has to contain it at the end of the month.

Thirdly.. transferring dangerous mad science is only safe in the presence of a mad scientist.  It's easier to just take it from place to place than to keep it locked up, but an escape is still possible, and the damages you've suffered make it more likely.

How it works is that each person who owns it has to roll to contain it.  This applies to mad scientists too.. they can have escapes.  If you're simply transferring it, it's an easier check than if you're going to keep it in your base.  Mad scientists autopass all transfer attempts.

In general, larger and more developed bases are more secure, but security buildings are the only sure ways to improve the security of your base.

Yes, you can research mobile units or equipment that add security as well as extra security buildings, if you so want.

Can I hire a mad scientist to build something to contain it in my base?

Incidentally, now that I'm done with my first project, anyone have a request for what I should do next? I think I was planning on some mad science artillery ammo next, if no one else has something in specific I could work on.

If your facilities can handle Huge projects, pimping out my submarine.

If your facilities can't handle Huge projects but you still want to pimp out my submarine, either a propulsion system for it that isn't shit, or the giant fuckoff torpedo launcher I intend to install in its nose. I cannot supply any processed kaiju bits for that this turn, but I will have some at some point.

Submarine is technically two sizes above Large, being Giant.  Huge is Large+1.

This month's Kaiju attack is to take place in..  New York City itself.  You don't know if this is inentional or by accident, but the Council is deeply worried about this threat, and is offering an immediate reward of 250 moneybucks to any individual or organization that fields a unit that damages the Kaiju in this battle.  They also issue a statement that some unwelcome incidents in the past might be overlooked should the individual contribute to the combat.

New York City is also a very large and important city to the United States.  Expect some military action to be taken.  This might help, or it might complicate matters.

The "Lock Up My Ride" offer is still on the table, as with anyone interested in doing it, preferably now.

Deploy the modern tank and both artillery pieces. Artillery should split up if possible to reduce their vulnerability to being taken out at the same time.

USE THE FLESH TO MAKE THESE DAMN BUGS LESS SHIT.  I WANT GODDAMN GAU AVENGERS NOT NERF GUNS.

Also I think I said to make them smart enough to follow orders, not to just ragdoll around the room on their own recoil.  FIX IT. FIXITFIXITFIXIT.
