 turns out you can avoid losing a base pop when you build a colony pod by having a bunch of nutrients stockpiled. some weird side effect of the growth threshold being tied to base size. otherwise the only other thing of note is:

i found out the hard way that if your pop is too low then building a colony pod will fail but only after it's finished building lol. re the graph, did the believers complete a secret project or something?

 energy budget's much better than it was a dozen turns ago. i can more or less afford to actually buy things now! recycling tanks are a good investment for the future -- extra nutrients and minerals go a long way. i think i will try to build a boat next.

[johnny cash voice] when the save, comes around it's me, the guy trying to build a secret project at a size 2 base. kinda funny calculation going into that... New Humboldt is going to grow to size 3 in a handful of turns, and i have just enough time to get the former hidden under the rover down to the single clear spot on that side of the crater (+1 mineral bonus) and plant a forest so the new worker can collect 3 minerals there and an energy and a nutrient which should be enough to do the work in a reasonable time. at this point in the game i'd consider ~25 turns an acceptable commitment to build a project, and even though that's not what the counter in the base says i think it'll average out to something decent. changing projects doesn't lose minerals and multiple of the ones available to me would be useful so as long as i don't get scooped on a bunch in a row i think i can do it.

i've managed to resolve the drone riots at my second base by switching a drone out for a talent. i would have done it earlier but i am dumb and also the base resource selection is weird. i'd switch in a doctor and nutrient supply would drop to hunger however all i needed to do was manually select the right resource tiles and then i could support it. also glorg i am honoured by your consideration to trade your latest technological advances with me! edit: just noticed glorg is building a laser skimship, perhaps the pirates ocean supremacy will soon be challenged?

pleasure doing business with ya, mister yang of the hive   turns out that if you're pact siblings with someone you get access to their base operations info. makes for interesting reading.  upcoming: - a nice boat next turn - base #4 in two turns (the colony pod is under the mind worms) - Jebediah Kerman Memorial Crater National Forest & Recreation Area in 4 turns

the SS Minnow is underway! based on hard-earned lessons from previous sailing misadventures i'm immediately building a replacement. if it was any cheaper to remove the armor and laser i'd be building gun foils instead. also my unity rover got in a fight with some worms and just barely scraped by. the gaian morale penalty might be a bit of an obstacle going forward as the native life gets more aggressive.

got my colony pod rolled out to establish my third base, thinking of what to name it. my theme is wu-tang clan and i've already named my HQ "36th Chamber of Shaolin" and second base "Gravel Pit". leaning towards "Severe Punishment" atm as it fits the theme of wu-tang and the hive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXdboYQio58
