A couple things!

First off, because of the holidays, we decided to make this upcoming AC a Check-in AC. All you need to do to provide AC is to comment with your characters names, and that will be enough.

Secondly, we need to decide what to do with the next core! We mods have prepared a few options to choose from, taken both from what we thought of and from the player survey from some months back. Additionally, if there are any others you are interested in, be sure to mention them. Voting for the core upgrade will be open until Friday, December 26th, so you have time to discuss it.

Here are the ideas for core upgrades that we have so far:

-A lot more land and buildings. Currently new land and new buildings can be bought individually, but this upgrade would prepare the Bastion for housing several hundred new residents, should the space ever be needed.

-Defensive shields around the Bastion, to protect the Bastion from any outside attack.

-Light beacon to draw people to the Bastion. Basically, Ibuki's idea for a Lighthouse made real.

-Radio communication between the Skyway and the Bastion. This would not be a network, but rather an actual short-wave radio setup, which opens up communication all around the Bastion. It would also allow people in the Bastion to send messages out and possibly draw more survivors to the Bastion.

-Random weather in the Bastion: rain, snow, etc. AKA oh shit nature is working again.

-Entertainment center full of random crap people can do for fun. If this is picked, we will take suggestions of what to have in there.

-An upgrade to the farm, which will allow for the production of processed foods, like cheese and such. Basically, A way to get more than just the basic ingredients of food.

Feel free to discuss the options below, and once you have decided on one, comment to the 'vote' thread with your vote.

EDIT: Voting is closed, the next upgrade is more land!

After long consideration, Colin thinks that expanding the Bastion itself would be the best use of core. More room to grow would offer them a lot of breathing room in the future.

He also assumes that the core would be able to hold it all together for a while.

If the calculations for that don't pan out, he'd honestly recommend preserving the core strictly for power purposes. XD
