    Feeding a High Population, Non-Agricultural world

    Can a swarm or hive queen build more queens? Or build a fabricator at least? Or do they just mine and do basic construction? Cause if it's a full fabber, it should be able to recreate itself. So for a minor, relatively, investment you can bootstrap a world into whatever you want. And feeding...

    Feeding a High Population, Non-Agricultural world

    Ok. Where is the info on nano and hive queens and their builders? I haven't seen that anywhere I've been looking but I don't have a lot of books.

    Feeding a High Population, Non-Agricultural world

    That artificial hab is what I'm trying to design. They are obseenly expensive. A hab with 600k biospheres of 1 million tons will feed 1.2 million people, but it costs 280 billion credits to build.

    Feeding a High Population, Non-Agricultural world

    Cargo hold with dirt is basically the 90 dTon figure I gave at the beginning. You still need something tending it and then processing the raw output. For the 1260 cubic meters of space, you need 25.2 man hours of labor per day to harvest food for 1 person. A robot with large agriculture...

    Feeding a High Population, Non-Agricultural world

    So 90 dTons is about a 3rd of an acre, 1260 square meters. So you're feeding 3 per acre using an intensive farming approach that doesn't use fusion power, just sun, air and water. That's better than the medieval times. And you're producing 365 person days of food per 90 dTons per year. It's no...

    Excel Ship Designer v2025.07.17

    Found an issue with power requirements display. Building an Agriculture Station. Optional Components power should be 675 per the power calculation but the Power Distribution section of the Power worksheet only shows 7. 668 comes from equipment in the 9b-Optional worksheet, that is what's not...

    Feeding a High Population, Non-Agricultural world

    Ok, So my group is currently travelling through Lunion subsector and there seems to be alot of High Population, Non-Agricultural worlds there. And most of those worlds are hostile environments and low tech, TL8 or less. An average adult human needs about 3 L of water and 3 Kg of mixed calories...

    Insurance for ship and cargo and rules for salvage

    This is 1115. And the guy we're dealing with is human stock of some variety. So maybe not his chief of staff. Maybe head of security? I have no idea. :) someone in the Duke's leadership group or near to it

    Critical Hits with multiple locations/systems

    Ok, just to state the point, while we players are grumbling and even complaining a bit, we're all still playing the game and accepted the GM's decision and moved on. We'll leave the game and find another if we stop having fun because the GM is a tyrant but that is definitely not where we're at...

    Insurance for ship and cargo and rules for salvage

    Ok, updates, since we've been kbitzing on the Discord. First off, while I'm sad the GM is sticking with his ruling, it's his game and he can run it as he likes. If he starts to be to be too unfair or arbitrary then we the players are more than happy to leave. For now, we've had a lot of so far...

    Insurance for ship and cargo and rules for salvage

    Yes Exactly! Like Rinku says, it looks like Plot is happening. :: sigh:: Sometimes I really hate plot.

    Insurance for ship and cargo and rules for salvage

    :: sigh:: I suspect that you are right. And we just did a job for NavInt, though it was paid for by them by getting us the deal that lead to the cargo that is at the center of all this. Bloody hell this is getting circular.

    Critical Hits with multiple locations/systems

    We don't have a vault. :( But the only requirement for carrying mail is that the ship is armed and carries gunners for the guns. I'll have to see if the GM will allow any salvage, that is a good idea.

    Critical Hits with multiple locations/systems

    Unfortunately, GM isn't going to take back the crit and the loss stands. :( Our plan now is petty revenge. We're going to hire the best lawyer in the system and sue them into oblivion while we also work with NavInt to expose their patron, who is potentially a high level noble that would...

    Critical Hits with multiple locations/systems

    20 tons of high tech industrial gear and cybernetics in the Fuel/Cargo container. We also had 10 tons of mail, 4 tons of generic freight and less than a ton of passenger luggage in the main cargo hold. We also lost 14 medium passage payments for the customers we had to disembark after getting...
