I see preparations for tower rocket are ongoing…
eventually we could make caste that go down from orbit to collect material to then send it up to the tower
How is the moon colonization planned to work like?
well, since ants are already able to withstand a vacuum, assuming they don’t have spiracles, since their exoskeletons are pressure suits and their eyes are part of the exoskeleton, and not covered in water, we just need an ant that gets all its oxygen through photosynthesis, or, more preferably, rechargable batteries and solar panel wings(for the smoler ones), and a thing to turn any carbon that’s collected into ethanol, and any excess water into H2, so it can be combusted with oxygen for thrust
however, for the Big ones(which will bee hives for the smol ones), fission reactor caste powering all the systems, and a Bit of Orion drives to move it around when speed is needed(nuclear fallout on inhabited planets Will be dealt with using air, water, and land scrubber castes, tho the ocean scrubber one will be sending out individual cells to collect the fallout on their surfaces and then turn into microscopic radioactive balloons to be cleaned up by the air scrubber caste)
I see. Using nuclear explosions will make the reputation of the ants in the eyes of the hostile countries go even lower…
they will be as contained as physically possible, and Very tiny nukes, and the explosions will be going through a similar kind of nozzle to those on chemical rockets to maximize efficiency
and i’ll likely use tiny fusion bombs, rather than tiny fission bombs
Right. Where do you plan on expanding following the moon colonization project?
venus and mars, then mercury and the asteroid belt, then sol(dyson swarm made of extremely efficient photoelectric ants) and jupiter
Are you sure by that time humanity won’t have all fallen to the antkind?
if they’re about to, they will be put in giant space zoo things where they can still advance enough to rebel against us, and study us
however, they will be given better work/life balance, food, and healthcare than they have ever given themselves
Remember that the FG ending condition is considered “accomplished” if all humans fall under TOs rule.
what about if we qu them and scatter them across the galaxy?
Would still count as a game win condition.
Edit: @Nigel
All actions: Make tower wider
Preparations for future heightening I see?
when in doubt, make tower bigger
And when in no doubt?
make tower taller
Repeat forever or until what?
until i dont want to
