hi there
Jamski says:
Hiya
John says:
question
Jamski says:
I just got back from my holiday, and I'm reading the forums
Jamski says:
answer?
John says:
would you think it would be worthwhile having more terraformers than we get free support?
Jamski says:
thats a LOT of formers
Jamski says:
4 per base?
John says:
need scout too
John says:
for police unit
Jamski says:
ok 3 per base
Jamski says:
yeah
John says:
well we're probably going to to have almost 3 per base
Jamski says:
3 per base is fine
John says:
the main thing is the outer bases
John says:
they can't build as fast
Jamski says:
and if the formers cost 1-2 minerals then the benefits outweigh the costs
John says:
so more terraformers supported in the central bases then the outter bases
Jamski says:
makes sense
Jamski says:
3 per base SHOULD be eonough
Jamski says:
for now
John says:
well actually
John says:
no
John says:
because we got 21 terraformers when I started having trouble juggling them.
John says:
so we kept free support
Jamski says:
especially if we keep using the turbo-foring trick
John says:
heh
John says:
well I'm wondering if I should stop
John says:
because the amount of terraforming we're getting is starting to get scary
John says:
I mean we're outstripping buster
John says:
and buster has the WP
Jamski says:
the quicker the better
Jamski says:
we want to do massive terraforming then huge land raising
Jamski says:
if we can raise enough land to screw the pirates that would be GREAT
John says:
heh
Jamski says:
raise the land around their bases and then use it ourselves
John says:
do you think I should ask about the librarian thing in the CGN forum
Jamski says:
heheheh
Jamski says:
yeah
Jamski says:
I really dunno about ti
John says:
okay
John says:
how about posting all those things to the CGN
John says:
do you really think that PTS pop booming is a good idea?
Jamski says:
go for it
Jamski says:
we can't lose out
John says:
it's mainly because I've realised golden age pop booming is really difficult
Jamski says:
the only problem is tying up the base production
John says:
we can plant tempory bases
John says:
there's space in our base spacing to plant bases between
Jamski says:
why?
Jamski says:
plant ones we want to keep
John says:
then dismantle them
Jamski says:
isn't it all being crawled
John says:
well not in the new areas that haven't been really developed
Jamski says:
ah
Jamski says:
well plant them where we want a base anyway,
Jamski says:
build pods with it
Jamski says:
and then re-plant
Jamski says:
so the core bases can build something better
Jamski says:
instead of just pods
John says:
but why do that when you can just plant a 2nd base
John says:
between bases
Jamski says:
if there's REALLY enough room for a size 3 base in between
John says:
it doesn't tie up the build queu then
Jamski says:
and enough food
John says:
but we're not going to hold it there for long
John says:
it's basically plant, rush pod, build pod, build pod
Jamski says:
but it may starve straight away
John says:
really now
John says:
you know me better than that
Jamski says:
its better to get it in position, then plant rush pod rush pod
Jamski says:
indeed
John says:
so you think it might be worth doing then?
John says:
basically it works like a crawler
John says:
and doesn't tie up the build queue
John says:
oh yeah do you want the simulator turn?
John sends:

Cancel (Alt+Q)
John says:
that's the replica of our current turn
John says:
got disconnected?
Jamski says:
Mrs Jamski's back
Jamski says:
with some CAKE
John says:
oh and we're permi-pacted now with the drones
Jamski says:
good
Jamski says:
excellent actually
John says:
so which is it
Jamski says:
now I gotta eat cake
John says:
good idea to do the in-between base
Jamski says:
and talk to the neighbours
John says:
or bad?
Jamski says:
cheesecake
Jamski says:
bad
John says:
okay then
John says:
cya
Jamski says:
we don't gain
Jamski says:
ciao
