You are currently with your recently purchase, a mute young man on sale at the New Vegas Colloseum as a slave, who has revealed his history as the son of some Scavengers captured at Denver Colorado by the Legion. In front of you stands Dean Domino, a Ghoul you rescued from the Sierra Madre, and Rachel, a shy pretty slave woman that he had swiped away from Legion Slavers. Currently, you are inside a basement in an Old World concerthall set to stage one of his performances before the Bombs fell.

You've agree'd to smuggle Dean and Rachel out of the city, having the stealthboys on hand for just such an occasion, but the other issue of getting his massive (and most likely useful or valuable) collection of things from the basement poses another issue. Being overencumbered would slow you down, possibly make you waste more stealthboys considerably.

You decide to settle for having your little party (and yourself) take what you can carry (which is considerable but not unlimited) to the Remnant Bunker, to stay and wait there, and then make a 2nd trip back here and gather the rest of the things. At that point, you should be able to overencumber yourself and then just port out of the City to BigMT.

A wordy, but simple and straightforward plan that Dean Domino agree's to. Meanwhile, you notice the slave you have at your side fidgeting. Seems he wasn't expecting to be sold to someone acting directly against the legion, and the fear and sweat on his face is palpable. He's clearly concerned, but isn't (or can't) voice it. But he obeys.

His face lights up when you show him a Stealth Boy. He recognizes what it is, and seems to not believe you're actually handing one too him. Dean is also somewhat impressed.

>Dean
"So just turn one of these on and for one hour. I'd almost wish I had one of these in the Sierra Madre to have beaten Elijah to that Vault. But then I'd be the one trapped in there, not him, I gather. You really should tell me what was inside that Vault."

[It's a long story, I'll tell you later. Christine is in BigMT]

>Dean
"Ah, another familiar face. I wouldn't mind that."

>You
[It's familiar, but not exactly what you had in mind. You'll understand when you get there]

>Dean
"Always with the vague. Would a little clarification be too much to ask?"

>You
[Okay. Elijah rose up from the dead as a hologram somehow and took over the Sierra Madre's technology and is turning the Ghost People into his own personal army armed with weapons created from matter replicators, Christine had been inside the Sierra Madre at the time keeping outsiders safe from entering it when she was nearly caught by him. She had to don a Ghost's suit and hide among them, becoming like the Ghosts themelves and unable to remove them but retaining her intelligence.

How was that?]

>Dean
". . .

Okay so some things are better left asked later. 'Brevity is the soul of wit', let's get out of here before they decide to blow up the building on top of us."

You load up on the most important stuff. Which to you is the most unique/irreplaceable stuff. Dean's holotapes and musical writings, some of his memorabilia, a couple of instrument cases, photo's and albums. The heavier stuff like the antique furniture, clothes, ammo, weapons, and of course booze and supplies you'll get on the 2nd trip.

---
One tense, but successful trip and several hours later you arrive at the Remnants Bunker. The remnants, helicopter, and power suits are long gone but its still a viable base and living place. Food, water, beds and bunks.

>Dean
"Not too shabby. I do like the added security. I suppose I'll be here to hold the fort.

That friend of yours, not much of a talker is he?"

>You
[He's mute. He knows morse code and unlike Chrstine he can read and write.]

>Dean
"Good to know. I'm sure we'll have riveting conversations."

You leave them all there, and head back to NV to collect the rest of the stuff.

Construction
>Build the Concrete Mill

Before even construction can be done, the planning and design phase must be completed. By far this itself is perhaps the bigger challenge. It's not enough to know the ingredients to make Hexcrete, now its automizing it. Indeed it would be an almost insurmountable task, were it not for the vast intellect of your brain, Gabrielle Sanchez' brain, and the experience of Jacob Miles organizing and supervising your team of Follower Researchers and Ad-Hoc engineers.

Like an oiled machine they work together to outline the various steps of making concrete and teaching them to the followers. Everything from the mechanical aspects of grind down limestone into aggregate via a rotary powder grinder and the correct portions of sand and gravel and gypsum, the loadbearing properties and the arithmetic and physical calculations of design, to the chemical processes of providing proper baking through injection of heated air for a set time to bake it into clinker, and to top it all off the BigMT special chemical additives that transform the whole thing into Hexcrete, which must be added on different stages. Added to that designing an aggregate crusher to grind limestone and other materials into the other part of Concrete.

These are but snippets of the vast logistical, technical, and organizational challenges your nations minds have to face. And yet, as a testament to your efforts and actions over the past many months, progress is made. Like a tactician in a battle, they divide and conquer tasks, relearning as much Old World principles and applying in record time, at such speeds even the Boneyard Follower University and OSI would be jealous.

Soon the blueprints, scheduling details, and organizational work will be done (it would have been done this turn with time to spare if you joined in), and everything will be in place and organized for the groundwork to be laid.

Next turn spend another action to begin construction!

>More Scrap Metal

You are fortunate enough to follow a pair of tracks (that you were ripping up for the ties and spikes) to an abaonded length of rail cars. Another prized cache that will serve you well. If there is one thing that the Old World truly gifted to the new, it's the veritable mountains of abandoned steel lying about everywhere.

But the distances to get these away from BigMT are growing further and further each time. Eventually one day everything even intermediately near the Crater will be scarce or used up.

Still, you have yet to pick up and use Baker's supply.

>>1571955
Depends on the roll. If you devote two actions to it, plausibly.

Is it too late to make a roll?

>>1571960

Is the idea to drill the mantle to get liquid metal that far-off as to be impossible at this time? We do have hundreds of robots.

>>1571971
I think the mantle drilling idea is too dangerous to do here in the Big MT, somewhere more secluded where a man made volcano doesn't threaten too much is best.

>>1571977
It doesn't matter where we do it, right?

>>1571980
>It doesn't matter where we do it, right?
Yes it does, the mantle drill basically makes a hole all the way down to the mantle to suck up metal, it's basically making a volcano and putting a straw down the conduit, if a accident happens or it's sabotaged it could erupt.
It does possibly give us the benefit of using already existing volcanoes to pull metal out.

>Secure Newberry Springs
Your securitrons move out to secure Newberry springs, going from house to house to check inside. They report the town is empty, there are some signs of a struggle but you judge them to be ages ago.

Most likely this town was in range of BigMT's abductors and kidnapped ages ago.

The only thing of note was various terminals and evidence indicating the houses did once belonged to BigMT scientists, but whoever they were they were gone now.

All that's needed is to figure out how to get the water to BigMT. Pipeline or truck.

You head into the Chinese Workshop, where you find Riddick polishing and caring for his car. An Authentic 2070 Charge Company Dodger, with parts specially tailored by Riddick including a tank of Nitrous Oxide. Evidently that makes cars run faster.

You do ask Riddick exactly how he got the car. He says he was part of a "family" of humans before the Great War.

You again wonder just how old is Riddick?

>Riddick
"Does it matter?"

>You
[. . .No, not really]

Apparently that family of humans is also where he got that golden cross he wears around his neck like a necklace. It's from that Jesus religion that Joshua talks about. You wonder why an alien would believe in that sort of thing, but you don't ask further.

A short while later, you're driving through the desert sands.

"Ah, there you are. So, ready for our little excursion? I must say your friend is quite the good listener, but he's not exactly much of a talker. Can't even give me a name, says you never gave him one yet"

Meanwhile, you travel with your companions toward Riddick on foot.

There's just a problem, and Riddick finds you first. He tells you to get up behind a ridge, and take a look.

You look down. You see Riddicks car. The hovering Zetan craft. And a third craft, larger than the others, flying in the air. One you've never seen. Around it stand a bunch of space men in space suits, with alien guns. But they are very much not Zetan, these seem human.

I'll back this if you give the bird golden accents along the wings or something, it's a phoenix but without a indicator of fire it might as well be a coal coated dove.

backing >>1572180

but change the blue in >>1572165 to be a little bit lighter

Ironically I'd argue we should make the blue darker and make the bird entirely gold / orange but whatever proves most popular.

Oh aye I agree, it's why I think some gold or auburn would work well to symbolise it's nature as a Phoenix and to just make it a bit brighter / clearer.

Keep going with the flag discussion guys, I love it, especially if you guys can agree to conensus!


but don't forget I need the current action thing done to move the turn. If needed, I will provide options, but you usually gain a bonus for being clever cods yourselves

>>1572196
Maybe make the blue richer as well as darker. Probably could be closer to a Navy colour.

>>1572170
Looks nice, especially for arm band purposes, although currently there are no states for the stars to represent. Nor are you exactly a federal system yet.

Alternative Yellow for flames. Just needs some touch up to remove the artifacts around the edges

>>1572254
All of my yes. Now if we can see it with a richer blue we can have seen all the wanted variations.


Also, do you think the star should be the same colour as the Phoenix or is that excessive?

>>1572259
Bit excessive. The white makes the star seem like a seperate thing rather than part of the phoenix.

>>1572259
Personally I like the contrast and the throwback of a white star as they say in the old world "only yellow skinned commies use yellow stars!" but yeah it should be easy to make it yellow

The blue is adjustable. Not sure what Richer means, I gather heavier toward the blue than the violet/indigo scale.

Just need 3 votes on an action to start working on the turn

>>1572267
Essentially a richer colour just means a greater contrast. Further along one of the three scales so to speak.


Aye that one looks far better and you have a good point about the white star.

>>1572107
>All that's needed is to figure out how to get the water to BigMT. Pipeline or truck.
We could build a small outpost here and begin large scale fuel farming, then begin moving some water by truck.

Sine were talking flags can someone make a motif of a star with American stripes to it's right, left and south looking like a birds wings and tail?

>>1572330
Any vote/proposal for the main action right now?

>>1572330
Construction of a pipeline could be achieved quite easily. Seeing as we just need a water tight pipe that isn't going to contaminate the water.


Based off of materials naturally available in region for mining, we should make it out of copper which is accurate to real world water pipes. However we will still need to create a pumping, cleaning and de-irradiating (if possible or needed) station.

>>1572334
I'll support >>1572148
>>1572335
We can build a pipeline instead, but i really suggest we set up an outpost and build some fuel farms here.

>>1572340
Oh aye, it'll take a fair bit of time to create the pipeline so our people can set things up in region while we are constructing it.


Which brings me to my next question: should we build it above or below the ground? Above ground will be quicker and easier but less secure however below ground will take time to shift the soil yet will conceal the pipe from detection and from attack.

>>1572345
First we need boosting stations and the like. You cant even get water across a large city without a main pump and some booster stations. Which would be big pumps.
And those would require lots of work and resources.

>>1572422
I have a solution: borrowed from the human heart.

If we can induce suction on one end and make use of one way valves, then the water can't flow back and is slowly but constantly dragged towards it's destination.


Failing that, just build some windmills on the surface to power a few basic boosters underground if it's such a problem. Which I really doubt.


Also, we should probably put in a small pair of pipes next to this one to carry fuel between towns. Maybe even a power cable or something so they can have electricity without any shit on their end.

>>1572456
Probably wont work for extebded distance s. If the pipe has a cross section of 1m^2, and is just 1 km long, youd be pushing 1000 tons with all the friction that comes with it.
With one pump, it would be exponentially huge compared to multiple smaller ones.

>>1572471
True but you are assuming we can't get assistance from gravity.


Also, the valves will work fine at lower pressures, seeing as they occur primarily in the human body in lower pressure regions.


However we need OP's opinion on the whole thing before we can really start thinking this sort of shit through.


Worst comes to worst, we add underground pumping stations and shit and call it a day.

You tell Riddick you'll find a way to get them away from the car, and try to create an opening for him. It's not what he would have done, but he agrees.

You walk up to them and plan to draw them away from the car.

It works, they approach you and yell at you to "HALT!"

Which you do, and let them come to you, guns pointed.

>You
[Howdy there! Welcome to earth!]

>Merc 1
"Stay where you are savage."

>Merc
"Did he just call his planet dirt? Look at that primitive power armor. Is that fucking nuclear powered?"

>Merc 1
"Whole bloody planet is one giant nuclear mess. Its the same fucking story."

Alright savage, you're gonna stand right there and you're gonna answer us some questions got it?"

>You
[Sure. Least I can do for visitors. Hey, they still use gunpowder weapons in space? Thought you guys would have gone to energy weapons]

>Merc 2
"Energy weapons are a pain in the ass to maintain"

>Merc 1
"Stop fucking conversing with it.

Alright, look here savage, see this man? Have you seen him anywhere?"

He holds a hologram in his palm, displaying Riddick. It cycles through him wearing different outfits, sometimes in diguise, other times in some kind of fancy armor

>You
[Yeah I've seen him. Tall guy, bald, about 6 feet. Eyes that glow at night. Why? Are you after him?]

>Merc 2
"You have any idea how dangerous this man is? He's got a 3 million credit bounty on his head. He killed the goddamn leader of the Necro's and then he bailed on em!"

>Merc 1
"Shut the fuck of Kyleth."

He points his gun at you

"Okay savage. Take us to him."

>You
[Why? He's right behind you]

Going to log off now.


Reminder to all: we need to secure the other town, the one with the mining equipment and such. Please do so next turn with some robots or something.


Must sleep. Don't fuck up and good luck.

>>1573124
Trona? we're definitely securing that but it's far away, we'll first need fuel and vehicles.

>>1573091
Screams, shouts, lots of stabbing action and these space bounty hunters with the help of Riddick go down just as well as an earth one.

If only Axe Man were here, he'd have fun.

Meanwhile, the survivors flee to the saftey of their aircraft and begin to take off, and they zoom away. Looks like they're coming back for a strafing run

You pull out your C-Finder and aim it on the ground, hoping that your timing is right.

Just as its guns heat up and prepare to fire, the ship is struck by a blast of light from the sky, sending it crashing to the ground in a huge fireball of molten metal.

>You
[Ha. I love it when they go down fighting. . .] Huh for some reason you feel that was something they should have said.

Still you reap the spoils.
>+7 Space Mercenary Armor
>+7 Super-Caliber Recoil Assist Rifles

Riddick seems to have enjoyed himself as well, meanwhile you gather the other three waiting behind the ridge, rather dumbfounded.

>Dean
"Remind me never to get on your bad side, partner."

All of you drive off into the sunset, headed back to BigMT.

You return with the car and your spoils, a hovering ruined spacecraft, Dean Domino, Rachel the slave he rescued and. . .your own slave purchase.

The three of them are quite shocked and awed, even Dean. First at having been in a car (which even for Dean was a very long time ago) and then at the wonders they see entering Big Mountain.

You bring the alien craft and Riddicks Car to the Chinese Warfactory. And unload.

>You
"Dean, I'll get you and Rachel some housing somewhere in the Higg's village. A private boxcar. Christine will be there, you can catch up.

I suppose the others can fill you in."

Dean is just glad to be out of New Vegas and finally somewhere safe and potentially interesting, and you drive his stuff to the Village.

Meanwhile, your slave boy stays at your side.

Hmm, you realize you don't know his name. He seems to be awaiting your next command.

They play for dean, who would be center stage, do draw away attention.
Spend chips on food and booze

Make some flags post them around. keep a couple for colonization purposes. Don't own the land if you don't have a flag.

The speech should be something on the lines of "Today marks a the dawn of a new era. No longer do we try to put back together what was broken. Today we build anew. Today we rise from the ashes of nuclear fire to grace the world with light anew. Today is the birth of (insert country name here), the light that burns eternal."

>>1573262
Here's a rough draft.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it has been a long, difficult road, but that journey is over, and Big MT is our destination. The technology here is our treasure, and with it's use not only will it make our lives better than any other in the wasteland, it will give us the power to heal the nuclear scars on this land. And it begins here, right before you, with the completion of the Hexcrete plant, which will allow us to build concrete buildings greater than any other, even capable of withstanding nuclear blasts(They can do that right?). This is not the only technology in our hands, we have advanced alien guns and flight just waiting to be researched, vehicles waiting to be fueled, robots waiting to be built."
Can think on how to continue the speech.
>>1573355
Why shouldn't we free him?
And he didn't send his entire life as a slave, he was part of a scavenger group before being caut by the Legion 5 years ago.
>>1573403
Don't spend the chips on booze unless necessary, we already have the plentiful supply we stole from the Legion.

>>1573435
>>1573350

His asking not to free him, So just let him do his own thing as one of the others and if they ask. Explain shit. Once he gets used to everything, and comes to us then we can free him.

>>1573435
You estimate his age at around 15-16

>>1573435
should probably take baby steps, rather than just "You're free, do what you want". Probablyask his opinions on stuff, teach him to write etc.

You begin construction of the Small Hexcrete Plant. Step by Step.

Before you can even begin the assembly process, you have to mix and pour the concrete foundations, which themselves have to be water cured.

It turns out it takes a HUGE amount of water to do this. So before even that begins, you spend yet more time necessarily having to ferry water from the newly held Newberry Springs, further causing delays.

Still progress is made, the Chinese War Factory burns bright and hot, day and night, making and milling all the necessary pieces. Thousands, mabye even a a million bolts, screws, and tidbits to huge plates and tanks and conveyor belts. Entire engines built from the ground up by design. Its a colossal undertaking. In the Old World, there would have been different factories and construction firms selling these individual pieces and equipment to be assembled here, but you have no such luck and have to make it all. Jacob Miles seems to have forgotten his future shock, and feels most at ease burying himself in the work.

In short, though you and your robots and engineers work hard, the concrete plant still isn't done. It's got lost more work to do.

>>1573952
Meanwhile your people make preparations for the festival.

Dean Domino seems to be adapting well to the New World outside of the Sierra Madre, his conversation with Christine was a little bit short and to the point but amicable enough.

Christine for her part is mostly brooding by herself, and is actively avoiding Veronica. You're not entirely sure if Veronica is aware she is here. When you do talk to Christine, she says that she hopes you are amassing forces to fight off Elijah.

Meanwhile, you have Unity introduce her band to Dean Domino.

He reacts rather predictably, that is, overtly disgusted. Until he hears them play.

>Dean
"They're not exactly the most charming band, and I'll be honest when it comes to looks I'd have taken even the Ghosts over them. But they have an ear and an arm for music, I'll give them that. Give me some time to whip up a few pieces, I'll show the crowds something far better than that New Vegas gramphone!"

You amass some extra supplies of drinks from the Sierra Vending Machine, to help offset the water shortage. Luckily the farms have recovered to also provide food.

There are still a few more questions to be addressed though.

>>1573997
CHOOSE/SPEAK
>What is the theme of this Festival:
Is it a national founding? Why at the end of the construction of a concrete plant, rather than the building of a Capital building? Or do we already have a Capital building, like the DOME?

If there are no national attachments is this just a celebration for the completion of a monument or perhaps our great Concrete plant. What is the significance of the festival, will it be an annual thing or simply a one time big party.

>Celebrations
Will there be fireworks? We can have the securitrons blow up missiles in the air.

>Personal Matters
Are you still interested in that big intimate companion party?

He scratches his head, trying to understand all that you said. It seems a lot of those words aren't exactly familiar to him. Or rather, they aren't associated with the same meaning and message you are trying to say.

>Couripor
{This one is not yet ready to comprehend what is offered. If this form of communication is hard, I will ease it.}

In a little bit, he makes something like a keyboard on his arm and programs a simple text-to-speech feature.

"Here master, this way I may speak more quickly."

You do notice at least some improvement, the use of the word "I". You suggest he uses it, saying that its a lot less cumbersome than "this slave" or "this one". That might help break him out of this funk hopefully.

It seems, unless you order him to accept freedom or at least his voice, his comfort zone and moral understanding is that of being a slave. He has very little value on his own opinion.

He does seem to like the idea of your state though. And he does have some opinions, primarily on order and following one's lot in life, and giving one's all to the state and those above you. As the gods will it.

Having a written constitution would likely limit our autocratic powers - unless we ignore it (like most autocracies do), thereby msking having one useless.

I'd suggest that we follow the British model and have a common law system which is built up over time, without a single founding document. It is less restrictive and more adaptable to changing circumstances.

There is the downside that we basically start with no laws - and it does empower our 'Senate' somewhat, at least in the early years.

"Really now. I had hoped you'd go the full technocratic route.

Surely that would be the strongest system of government. Need i remind the securitrons are doing all the police work."

>>1574338
Tell me of the giant war bots.

>>1574388
"Giant War Bots, hmm, we will probably need at least the resources of something like the Mojave for that. They will be a feat even the Old World would have scarce been able to achieve."

Also is that drawfag who was willing to draw guns still around?

Concerning the slave, can't we just use the auto-doc to remove the collar? Actually, can the auto-doc heal his muteness?

It seems we haven't given him any tasks. I suggest the default tasks he will do is to maintain and improve his repair and technical abilities, he should learn what he can from Raul, Riddick and any other companions who are technically skilled.

>>1574338
I prefer the Brain approach, a fully autocratic regime.

If we are going with mayors and senators, they should be accompanied with AIs which will keep things in check. That way there will be a human face for the population and programs for best efficiency.

>>1574417

Are the bounty hunter armors and weapons better than what we have. And did we get the wreckage of their craft?
We could reverse engineer it for new technology, things like better computers and power sources

>>1574417
Is there a way to fabric goods out of nothingness or steel like our bots guns do? Just have them firing over a pot to fill with casings and then metal them down?

>>1574482

"Not in any cost effective manner no.

You will notice that each of the individual missiles of the securitron is weaker than those of a true missile launcher, and that the missile launcher of a sentry bot is quite slow intentionally."

>>1574506
I vote we heal his muteness. He may freak out if we remove his collar though.

>>1574511
I meant the gatling gun, They don't overheat. So we could have 4 of them running day and night with the shell casings and design a thing to catch the bullets that actually went as well.

>>1574506
Okay if the slave feels it is too early for freedom, lets just fix his muteness at least.
We are also dealing with 5 years of intense brainwashing. Lets ask our companions (especially the followers) to talk with the slave, to teach him our ideals and their thoughts on freedom and slavery. It will be a long-term rehabilitation process. Step by step.


Also, I don't like the name he chose. If I understood correctly, Couripor means "your slave".
I suggest Matthew for no other reason just because I feel like it. Or whatever name he had before they were captured by the legion.

>>1574530
You ask him if he had a name before his slave name, before he was captured. He says it was "Harland"

>>1574536
I think that name is good as any. I suggest we call him that.

With the dwindling scavenging resources in reasonable distance, I think we should start thinking how we will deal with it.

One idea I had is to set up a scavenging task force, a huge operation where hundreds of securitons and people along with many companions make long distance scavenging runs where they literally strip a location of anything remotely useful in one go.


Another thing we could do is to cannibalize the alien craft. Though I'm not sure if their alloys are compatible with ours.


Or we could set up a trade somehow. Obviously the suppliers wont be coming to our base, we would need to find a trade location.


Anyone have any ideas how we will deal with resource shortage?

>>1574235
Personally i think we should go for a Autocratic Empire whose states are republics/democracies for minor issues and whose economy is Distributist with a automated workforce. Our cultural values should be thrift, hard work, education and community spirit.

>>1574637
>One idea I had is to set up a scavenging task force, a huge operation where hundreds of securitons and people along with many companions make long distance scavenging runs where they literally strip a location of anything remotely useful in one go.
Or we could just make for fuel farms and use vehicles to cross the distances.

>>1574651
>Our cultural values should be thrift, hard work, education and community spirit.

these are important, we can't have people fall into overconsumption and decadence because robots will do most of the work and they be provided with most stuff for free.

>>1574655
I didn't mean they walk these distances. Of course the scavenging force will use vehicles. They need to transport that stuff back. I'm just saying that if we do it like that, we can strip everything from one location in one action without having to spend actions over and over again.
Also, it will provide with added security.

>>1574663
>and they be provided with most stuff for free.
Wait when did we agree to provide free stuff? It was Healthcare, food and shelter before.

>>1574669
>It was Healthcare, food and shelter before.

that's not free stuff?

>>1574696
Why the fuck would we give free stuff that's not what humans need to live? Let people build, sell and buy that stuff.

>>1574637
>Not repairing the alien craft to use as the truck

Alternatively, you could mass produce basic versions of mort common items - such as chairs.

This would leave a space for humans to come in and create individualised or more delux versions - such a wooden chairs with soft velvet padding.

Essentially, we want to recreate the old pre-industrial cottage industries, without sacrificing a base standard of living guaranteed by mass production of goods.

>>1574784
Stuff like shit furniture? Yea sure i was thinking it was already part of the free housing.

>>1574789
I mean basic versions of everything - watches, furniture, clothes, food, etc

To get anything even slightly better, you have to buy it from a human

"Hmmm, I believe one of your many thoughts was of a society where the basic necessities of living were provided for free, while higher luxuries would have to be purchased at a steep price. Have you considered that?

I myself am intrigued on the idea, I believe we could prove it on the small scale. And perhaps even the large scale.

I know you well enough at least. Fill all your basic needs for free, free decent food, clothing, housing and even medical care and you'd still be bored enough to leave and go out and muck about in ancient radioactive vaults for some new excitement and stimulus.

The basic necessities of life could potentially be provided for free, but people will always seek out stimulus. Make them work for it and surely that should prevent total complacency."

We have the potential to move past money.

"Really, I mean, right now with our communal like provisions of rations, free water, and rationed lobotomite sex not to mention our reserving of the Sierra Madre chips for our discretion, money does not even form a part of our current state economy.

Instead what we have is somewhat comparable to a black market. The people who do seem to be using and profiting off money right now are a few hoarders and scavengers, people pay them bottlecaps for a little extra of what they want. Then they use those bottlecaps to get extra things or favors of people.

I've been doing some observation with the securitrons and its all quite interesting dynamics. There are a number of small private service businesses opening up even amid the relative squalor (though, with the public baths its a lot less squalid than before). You have a small number of women offering private services as cleaning maids, cooks, and voluntary prostitutes in exchange for bottlecaps, which they use to buy things as a single example. But there are other small businesses that have formed.

Sometimes it poses a fire or disease hazard and I have to make them move."

>>1574933
Well, as it stands we don't have the resources to supply everyones wants and need.

Zeppelins. We send them to Utah-Nevada border and set up a Iron mining and steel refining operation before shipping it back either in zeppelins or as zeppelins. Possibly look into setting up copper mining as we would be in the region for that as well.

Also, I told you guys to claim that mining town! Why haven't we gotten round to that? Do you know how much value we could extract from those mining machines and anything else in those mines, assuming they haven't been mined out? Not to mention denying the NCR more land. It's only a matter of time until they claim it...

>>1575060
I don't think so but if we do then that is good enough. Since the NCR can't really force us off of our lands...

>>1574936
>But later, when we do have the capability, we could have people who do things because they want to, not because they have to.
That's what i want, i just don't want to get rid of money, basically i want a society where a box of electronics cost 5$, television is 25$ and a car costs 500$, everything is nice and affordable with just one paycheck.

>>1575042
>Also, I told you guys to claim that mining town! Why haven't we gotten round to that?
Because it's as far away as New Vegas, which is 3 days of travel, we need to set up more fuel production first so we can have a vehicle convoy bring the metals back.

>>1575358
So why have money? Money is pointless when there are so many resources supply becomes infinite. Theoretically, everything would be worth nothing.

>>1575367
>Money is pointless when there are so many resources supply becomes infinite.
We have yet to reach the point of infinite supply, until we give families their own Sierra machine AND the knowledge of how they work and how to fix them we need a monetary system.
Also we don't know what the reversed engineered Sierra machines could possibly need to make stuff, if they still need metal or a fission battery we'll need a(Very basic) monetary system to decide who deserves the machine fuel more.

>>1575358
I can see the logic to that but I'd argue that we shouldn't get so worried about long term economic policy when all of our current major industry is state owned and everything else is essentially a service industry.


>>1575364
And? We just need to claim it and then I'll stop worrying. Extracting the metal value can be done slowly in the coming months if we need it but making sure the NCR don't get it is my priority.


>>1575367
I kinda agree. I would argue that as of this moment, we shouldn't bother with money: just give the people their daily needs and shit. A tot of alcohol, any medical needs, their daily bread and water. Anything more is something they can trade for in a resource based exchange.


>>1575372
Refer to the above system. They all get a weekly allowance and if they want more, they have to cunningly trade with others for goods, services or ideas. Maybe we can make stocks a thing and have government programs receive additional fund from the people under the assumption of receiving something in return long term or seeing a change in their community they want.

>>1575380
>And? We just need to claim it and then I'll stop worrying.
Because we'll be doing fuck all with the mine but i see your point, i'll use the military action to claim it.
>They all get a weekly allowance.
A weekly allowance of what exactly? Cause if it's money i must refuse.

Here's your daily gallon of soylent. Dont choke on it.

>>1575397
>Soylent is a brand of meal replacement products that are advertised for consumption as "staple meals", and are available in the U.S. and Canada as a pre-mixed beverage or in powdered form for mixing with water.
Oh yea, sure that's fine.

>>1575401
I was taking about the green goop to make into vedgetables. Just forgot the name. Soilent?

>>1575397
Essentially that yeah. More precisely:

1) The mass of food needed to provide you with your daily nutrition / energy. All fairly basic shit: grains, beans, fruit and veg. Little meat or fish unless you need the additional protein but enough to supply your vital proteins that your body can't produce.

Seeing as we can provide most of that in Salient green (don't think we can do meat but maybe we can? Or we might make a Salient red...). We can avoid any sorts of problems with food variety assuming people know how to prepare it into it's refined forms and shit. Assuming Salient green actually provides that shit, we can abandon all that and just give them a canister of that and consumption / preparation instructions.

2) A supply of non-irradiated, clean and disinfected drinking water along with water for showering and stuff counted separately. (Possible third section for cooking water? Encourage use of high water efficiency methods?) If you use all your water you can't get more until your next allowance unless you get it off someone else.

3) An allowance of alcohol, drugs or other such entertainment / pleasure materials. Not much but enough to turn their boring existence into a decent one. Far from enough alcohol to get truly drunk and nowhere near enough drugs to overdose but enough to enjoy the effects.

4) An allowance of either cooking fuel like wood, coal, oil or such OR a supply of electricity. Sufficient for X (I'm thinking nine to eight) hours of lighting and for cooking using an electrical hot-plate / microwave.


We can see about providing more stuff as our civilisation advances if needed.

>>1575421
salient green.
>>1575422
1) I disagree with giving people the foods you have listed, instead we should give them bad tasting but healthy military rations so they are encouraged to farm tastier food for themselves.

3) I agree on giving them alcohol but i must disagree with giving them more complicated entertainment/pleasure materials, that way they are encouraged to produce their own entertainment, we will possibly see our own unique cultural games and pastimes.

>>1575437
I disagree. We dont want an agricultural economy. We want an information economy. Salient means everyone can have fruits and vedgetables without being farmers, or importing from peru. Does the Robot programmer not deserve good food too?

>>1575437
>1) I disagree with giving people the foods you have listed, instead we should give them bad tasting but healthy military rations so they are encouraged to farm tastier food for themselves.
Nope. It's easier to convince people to come work for you if your food tastes good and seeing as we have so few people that will be a necessity.

This is something we can give them for relatively cheap seeing as we can turn Salient green into proper plants and thus fruit, grains, beans and vegetables are easily done. Meat is something they should have to work for however beyond the amount required to provide the various vital proteins that your body can't replace or produce.

>3) I agree on giving them alcohol but i must disagree with giving them more complicated entertainment/pleasure materials, that way they are encouraged to produce their own entertainment, we will possibly see our own unique cultural games and pastimes.
At no point did I offer complex things like music, TV, radio or video games. Only simplistic chemicals and possibly some luxurious foods in small amounts to convince them that staying here is worthwhile and to attract more people. Plus good morale.


Also something I just remembered. We should make bikes. They are useful for augmenting our ability to travel without using fuel. Especially since they can be attached to a cart to carry cargo.
