Cycle passed (and I missed the previous one, but I gained a whopping 0.43 Happiness while having 0/100 workers working, access to 3 luxuries and 3 necessities. Dev, pls.)

Nodes got reshuffled (I miss my singular rich node), so all the production numbers except for entertainment start from scratch

Starting happiness 30.75
3/?? Necessities
3/?? Luxuries
Happiness change -4.55

Delta/wrk ratios look a tad weird but could be rounding issues either on site or on my end.
I estimate that I have 2-3 cycles left before I hit the point of no return on happiness.

NTA, but honestly? As harsh as it might seem, it's the truth. Out of all the people here, he's the only one that does basically nothing but socpost, and as much as other people might want to include him (see /vrt/ anon last thread) he seemingly doesn't want to join in, aside from a comment here or there. I get that losing an oshi is hard, and life hasn't been easy on him, but there comes a point where you gotta move on and find something else you enjoy. Heck, if he feels like it, there is schizo wastes(not implying anything) that are essentially free space for anyone to write. He could be our main source of schizo tribe lore.

A secret can only be kept for so long, specially when sammies are involved :D

But for real, the next arc that I wanted to write with Sapling would both deepen our relations and introduce us to the concept of magics, and when you have two people coming together to try and deepen and research a concept, what would otherwise be secret might get shared so they can both try and understand it better.

Well, as the guy who talked with him personally, mentioned to him that the story that we had so many timeloops around, the killing of Gading, is still happening(eventually, I promise...) and who responded to me with a laugh and a "Yea, sure I don't really care," I think it's safe to assume he'd be ok with it.

>>46351805
Yea, the exchange of cultures and knowledge of our understanding of the nature from a scientific standpoint and Saplings more spiritual(I assume) would be the first thing and would take precedence. The whole gem thing might(or might not) happen down the line.
>hell they would barely understand it themsevles.
This would actually make it even easier, at least in my eyes. If they couldn't completely understand it, someone might have the bright idea to show it to the guys who seem smart in subjects they don't fully understand. Even if we might not make any progress on it at the start, I could see us coming into "possession" of Gem magics that way.

Depends on if saplings will honor the risuner request or not. Would be a dick move IMO if saplings just revealed that shit. How secretive are saplings? Everyone has secrets after all, it depends on how high they value the risuners I suppose.

(this is for a micronation that doesn't exist yet so take it with a grain of salt)
It's very easy to just say this is wrong/gross etc. but I'll try a more nuanced breakdown.

TL;DR Trans people are tolerated and treated medically but tribal values dictate that most individuals would look poorly upon those who have transitioned.

>Transgenderism within the Cappipalist Micronation
For the sake of this post, we will assume the term gender is real (encourage you to google the separation of sex and gender, the guy who was the main proponent is evil in my opinion) and that sex is your biological makeup as assigned by your physical body at birth and that gender is which sex other people (or society at large) perceives you to be. This requires a rigid definition of two genders meaning one could cross a defined line from one to the other in this case.

>What makes a person valuable?
The first step is to pose and answer a question, is someone that is heterosexual, and adheres to the gender that matches their sex inherently valuable? For this case, we will assign all people of varying personal characteristics the same value of 1. Now is someone who is transgender inherently valuable? I would reason that someone who has transitioned from one gender to the other is just as valuable when personal characteristics are removed so their value is 1.

Cappipalist Separatists are inherently anti-government and anti-institution leaning toward an anarcho-esque society, this means that they would value the trans person's right to do what they want and say what they want above the disgust or distaste of others. Saying this their origin lies in tribal groups and intense inter-tribal conflict (Kanpainiki Cappipalist conflicts) and individuals would likely have a tendency towards treating trans people harshly on a personal interaction level.

>Why is defining inherent value important?
Because it does not provide the full picture, you can give people equal value for the sake of fairness and respect but let me propose a hypothetical. If you had 100% gender-normative people in your country there would likely be little change, but if you had 100% transgender people in your country there might be no country in as soon as a single generation.

Transgenderism and gender theory has its origins in the sciences of the mind and of society, and was in its earliest form classified as a type of Body Dysmorphia and redefined to be Gender Dysphoria. If you are trans and want to make a compelling argument to society that you are legitimate a medical argument is the most sound one.

>I am suffering from a mental ailment that can be treated by surgery and hormones.
Treating transgenderism as a mental illness cured by transitioning from one binary gender to another is how transgenderism is classified within Cappipalist society. This is the path to legitimacy through medical definition.

>but if you had 100% transgender people in your country there might be no country in as soon as a single generation.
Using my above definition of transgenderism within the micronation this becomes pertinent. It is not evil to be transgender, and you can transition as a treatment but now the above statement proposes that if your nations were comprised entirely of trans individuals and they had undergone surgical and hormonal transition that transgender men could not impregnate, and transgender women could not get pregnant. This would meanwhile a single trans person's existence is not considered evil if large portions of the population were to become transgender (more so than the 0.17% average of a first-world country) there would likely be some action to address potential grooming or influence that is causing more than usual portions of the population to become mentally unwell or convinced that they are.

Had some drinks tonight so no dev updates, sorry. Will try to at least update the rentry now that I have one with some details about how things work.
Ive decided the happiness restrictions arent "too hard" so much as they are "too hard for settlements".
So (this may sound dumb), Im going to try to move the difficulty requirements to be governance-level specific so it will start out easier, and only get difficult later on. Its not right to punish new users, and I should have seen that earlier on.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46365453
10 people can hardly be called a settlement, that's smaller than many families. In terms of gameplay it could be made to work, but I don't think that stage would add a lot, given how insignificant those would be on the global market compared to other settlements.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46313786
For future suggestion related to this, if you look at the game Melvor Idle it contains a skill called township that is very similar to the premise of this game (with quests, settlement levels, a tick based system, worker assignment and happiness etc.) An idea I'd like to see in the game down the road are satellite settlememts, to discourage alt resource pooling. At the highest probability near the highest level your settlement can reach you can establish 1 or more smaller settlements that function as an alt settlement does while benefiting from the happiness and resources produced by your main settlement.

Obviously this is likely one of the last features you'd add after all else is done.

I'm tired and I misread that. Apologies. Still I'm interested in satellite settlements and how they work. Are they on the inside or outside of the territory? Would "colony" be a better word?

[Anonymous No.]

>>46369875
Just a thought about colonies. Colonies are settlements with ties to the motherland that are in unsettled territory. In theory. Colonies could also exist in settled territory usually as bases or I forgot the word. I just need to look up a satellite settlement.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46369875
>>46369875
Phoneposting so excuse potentially poor grammar and spelling mistakes.

Essentially at the maximum level of your settlement you would pay the price of an upgrade to produce one colony locked at the beginner settlement level (as if you had just registered a new account) and would be able to manage this under a tab identical to the main tab, but would share the stored resources with your primary settlement. This would provide you the ability to "roll" for other resources you might not have access to in your country by founding these colonies in order to produce these, and would be better than creating an alt account as these colonies would benefit from the technology bonuses and resources of your main settlement bypassing the growing pains. Realistically these should be capped at a few (1-3) per main settlement but an argument could be made that you should only be allowed 1 and rather upgrade it the same way you upgrade settlements to try and maintain resource exclusivity.

Happy to draft a full proposal just writing this during lunch break at work.

>>46371087
Thats much closer to my intended definition.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46371670
These sound like colonies. So are the starter resources random for colonies or are they based on geographic location? Also is there a delay in when the motherland, aka your prime settlement, gets the resource? I imagine distance would play a role in the cost of transportation. Again these are ideas for later. I'm not going to touch the risk of colony revolts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46373068
Geographic location primarily. And yeah the movement of goods between the primary settlement and these colonies would be delayed based on distance but when you settle them you could choose an amount of resources to send on the initial expedition, and of course it would take time for them to establish to colony before they could work.

[Anonymous No.]

When choosing a country have a short blurb taken from the lore of that country. Can put out a call for reps to make them for you.

> Resource flavour text
Resources might have 1 sentence or something if they're located in countries where they have special properties in the lore. For tech advances you can add a little bit of text if it originates or is prominently mentioned in a country's lore. Probably just get people to suggest things and vet them yourself, I'm sure if we preface this with "Dev gets the final word in whether lore is added or not" nobody will go schizo... Right guys?

Oh... You know, I think adding unique custom resources for each nation might be a tall order, but maybe a nation could have the ability to rename a resource while it's in their nation, as long as what resource it actually in is clearly displayed.

Yea that exactly, i could see more ero based nations having a legitimate reason to have prostitution as a possible export or in the case of hag, men would be something like a necessity.

- Lower requirements for Settlement level governances (Sorry to the spreadsheet anon, this is gonna muck up your formulas I think)

This is the UI I'm settling with for now. I didn't mean to have the button hang off the bottom like that, but after I saw it I kinda liked it.<div class="xa23b"><span class="xa23t"></span><span class="xa23i"></span></div>

[Anonymous No.]

I just realized some of you are going to cheese this upgrade system with a bunch of alts.
While I could manually go in and force everyone back down to Settlement if I see weird activity, I'm going to ask nicely first that you try to do things legit for now so we can test the balance of this.
I do have some ideas for later on for curbing the abuse, but I can only develop one thing at a time right now.

Looking forward to this going live, anon. So you just need to have this much in your storage, the resources are not consumed upon upgrade, right?

[Anonymous No.]

>>46425181
The resources will be consumed. Should I make that more obvious? The button says "Buy", but I can slap a warning on the page or the details popup

[Anonymous No.]

>>46425993
Oh, if that's the way it works I might expect some way of knowing which of your resources will be consumed if you have more than 100, or something that mentions they'll be randomly selected if that's how it works. "Cost" could be better than "Requirement" as well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46425993
it would actually be really useful to have some information what 100 people consume per tick and what the new amount of people would consume jsut so one knows if this upgrae is worth it for now

[Anonymous No.]

>>46424872
also since commoditys don't really serve a purpose atm and necessities are needed to keep settlement alive, would it not make more sense to adjust the requirements a bit?

[Anonymous No.]

>>46426511
Ok, I changed the verbiage to make it more clear and I added a confirmation pop-up.

>>46426942
I do plan on trying to keep more data about how the numbers change over time so I can show them on the page, but that's gonna have to be down the road right now.

and again, when exactly is this meant to be purchaseable, i can say make it 50 of each resource but thats an arbitrary number with no frame of reference

[Anonymous No.]

>>46433843
I don't know anon, I'm just some other anon. When do you think it should be purchasable? The average "duration" of each stage is very much an arbitrary thing. I guess in the end it would depend on how long a "game" should be.

[Anonymous No.]

>>46427696
i know this is late but an issue i jsut ran in is that it is impossible for 2 nations to trade resources they traded from somewhere else.

is there maybe a way to have Person A send an offer from their stuff, Person B then sends back what they are willing to give for it and then Person A can decide if they want to accept or not?

He's under psychoactive effects from a fungal pathogen, but how much of what he sees is real is up to the reader's interpretation.

450x500 I think is about right

[Anonymous No.]

>>46486124
I think that would be the native resolution of the texture, the display resolution will probably be smaller, desktop icons are displayed at 50x50px for example. Display resolution is often lower than native, to allow for zooming in if needed for some reason. But display will determine the size of the details that can be used so the icon is readable.
t. graphic design is my passion

[Anonymous No.]

>>46486658
Yeah I scaled it up a bit because the display resolution will be about 450x500 on desktops. I say icons, but theyre a bit bigger than that since they're going on the "Cards" shown for upgrades and purchases (like the one currently on the governance management page)
