Micromanagement Sims/Planning

[regoarrarr]

The idea of losing the math hammers truly hurts But I guess "expensive" oracle is better than no oracle.. When do we have to decide this?

Unless someone finds a way to get 30 more hammers (like a 4th chop), I think we probably need to whip the worker that is in production THIS TURN

[Sullla]

I've left our turn unended for exactly this purpose. I'm hoping one of our micro experts (SevenSpirits, NobleHelium, etc) will have a chance to look at this. If we are going to whip this worker and overflow into Oracle, we obviously need to decide that during the next 24 hours.

Sandbox updated with Sullla's almost-complete turn 60, and with the corn corrected.

(That corn thing is an annoying bug in worldbuilder where lakeside farms lose their irrigated status when new terrain is added.)

[NobleHelium]

Unless someone comes up with a sim otherwise, we should probably whip the worker at MM this turn. I did a quick run-through and I can finish the Oracle with no hammers to spare by working a bare plains hill instead of the deer on t67. Mathematics is a few beakers short but that can be remedied by not whipping the worker in HF.

[NobleHelium]

Or, better yet, we run 50% science on t61. That will lose us a beaker but probably better than delaying the worker whip.

Or actually we could run 100% science on t61 and 50% science on t62, where we have an even number of commerce (at least in my quick run-through).

Just played through the current micro plan to refamiliarize myself with the situation. Let me join the chorus and say that it's a beautiful plan!

Except we're about to destroy it.

Discussing with novice...it might be preferable to chop a third ring forest instead of whipping the worker this turn.

Well... We might have to do both. But at least then we won't have to work bare plains hills or the like.

At any rate it doesn't seem like whipping the worker this turn is too costly - it will cost us some commerce and add an extra whip unhappiness to MM, but in return we can complete Oracle eot67 - or delay it to eot68 for better chop efficiency if our C&D tells us that's safe.

[NobleHelium]

Yeah just ran through the third ring chop, it's not going to cut it. We'll need to whip the worker this turn.

novice is working on optimizations right now.
