Construction of District One
The Construction of District One is a major construction project for the first habitable district in the colony city of Artemis.
Project Plan
District One will unfold in a series of six stages. For each stage, players must provide a certain amount of raw materials to the assembler in the Mobile Base, and also meet a few RP benchmarks.
The stages are as follows:
Stage 1: Leveling and Trenchwork - COMPLETE
The construction work begins in earnest by levelling the site and digging/reinforcing trenches where necessary.
Materials Required: 200 shards of obsidian and 200 chunks of limestone mined to level the site; 10 steel support beams (requiring 100,000 grams of steel.)
RP Requirements: Staff-led RPT to follow once material requirements are met.
Reward: [New Resource Discovered - Added Crafting Recipes!]
Finished: 2/17/2177
Stage 2: Finalizing Design - COMPLETE
The team must decide on the full shape of District One to finalize blueprints.
Materials: 50 shards of obsidian + 50 chunks of limestone + 5 support beams, as the leveled-off site receives final polishing in preparation.
RP Requirements:
- Investigate the mushrooms and spores in the newly-revealed cavern to determine if they pose any danger;
- District 1 Team Meeting.
A blueprint from Millensky's drafting team will be presented at this meeting for feedback. Either at the meeting, in discussion with Millensky, or in a node, the following must be submitted by players:
- Waste Management: Brief description of waste management plans and issues.
- ACC Liaison: Brief description of largest security risks foreseen.
- Cultural Liaison: Brief description of intended historical monuments/spaces.
- Community Liaison: Brief description of public desires for District One.
- Hydroponics Agronomist: Brief description of the intended planting strategy.
Reward: Initial Rooms for D1 Created!
Finished: 5/29/2177
Stage 3: Subfloor Construction - UNDERWAY
With the blueprint decided, the team must create the steel subfloor with its seismic cushioning and lay the conduits for utilities.
Materials:
- 10 seismic shock absorbers;
- Made from: 10 steel support beams (assemble steel-support-beam) + 10 sets of shock absorber rings (assemble shock-absorber-rings)
- 20 sheets of steel plating (assemble steel-plating) to lay the subfloor base and walls;
- 50 lengths of copper pipe (assemble copper-pipe) to establish the major plumbing lines through District 1;
- 20 spools of wiring (assemble wiring-cable) to lay out the central electrical lines from the Solar Farm.
RP Requirements: Staff-Led RPT
Reward: [New Resource Discovered - Added Crafting Recipes!]
Stage 4: Dome Initial Assembly
An initial frame for the Dome must go up, enclosing the space in temporary plastic so it can be oxygenated for heavy work.
Materials: [To Be Revealed]
RP Requirements: Player RP at the site…
- Completed research on the Cryopod Algae Oxygen Generator through ticketing.
Reward: Oxygen added to D1 site; Added Crafting Recipes!
Stage 5: Outdoor Spaces
With the frame up, planting in the outdoor spaces within the District can begin.
Materials: [To Be Revealed]
RP Requirements:
- Hydroponics Agronomist: Submit list of plants for outdoor spaces
- Community Liaison: Submit park designs.
Reward: [Descriptions updated; Added Crafting Recipes!]
Stage 6: Indoor Spaces
This stage will require a great deal of material cost, as the buildings themselves are constructed and made habitable. It will be opened at the same time as Stage 5, and likely continuing for some time.
Materials: [To Be Revealed]
RP Requirements: Final plans from the various specialists. (Overall, anything we need to know to finish room descriptions from Waste Management, Security, Cultural, Community, or Hydroponics.)
Reward: District One goes live! Staff RPT to open it up.
Project Roles
Here is a list of project roles and their required factions. If you wish to take a role, communicate with staff.
Chief Habitat Engineer Danny Harris
Turns the settlement’s wish-list into a buildable spec; balances mass budget, pressure load, and cost. Must be a Stroitel Ventures Engineer. If vacant, the Chief Habitat Engineer is Jaskov Millensky.
Responsibilities
- Receives meaningful management experience of one of the most impressive projects.
- Lead efforts and organize meetings.
- Determine the name of the various rooms of the project.
(OOC: This role will be the leader of the project and it is expected to be someone who can see this long project to the end. This is a management role handling budgets, payouts, etc.)
Structural Engineer [VACANT]
Calculates dome geometry, shell thickness, sealing interfaces. Must be a Stroitel Ventures Engineer.
Responsibilities
- Shape and texture of visible support ribs, trusses and pressure bulkheads (organic arches, hex-grid ribs, buttressed pylons).
- Number, size and locking mechanism of airlock vestibules in each zone.
- Catwalks, elevator shafts and maintenance hatches players can climb or crawl through.
Life-Support Systems Engineer Evangeline Velsori
Designs and maintains the closed-loop O2/CO2, water-reclaim and temperature-control network that will keep the dome habitable.
Must be a CyGene Rapid Response Medical Medic (or cross-licensed contractor).
Responsibilities
- Look & feel of the Life-Support systems.
- Ambient climate zone: determine the optimal temperature of this scenario.
- Smell/ambience cues (“ozone tang near the scrubbers,” “earthy scent of algae bloom at shift change”).
Hydroponics Agronomist Alisha Morgan
Must be someone from Hydroponics.
Responsibilities
- Description and presence of plants or gardens in the Dome.
Habitat Designer [VACANT]
Can be occupied by any citizen.
Responsibilities
- Mood lighting and ceiling geometry of public concourses.
- Choice of floor materials and sound-absorbing panels.
- Art installations or cultural artifacts embedded in walls.
ACC Liaison Benoit Lapier
Can be occupied by an ACC Constable.
Responsibilities
- Safety considerations and structure for District One.
- Design of ACC checkpoints in strategic areas of the Dome.
Waste Management Specialist Peregrine Walker
Can be occupied by a PWB employee.
Responsibilities
- Waste management design and structure of the dome.
Community Liaison Roark Mackay
Can be occupied by any citizen.
Responsibilities
- Design of the central garden by hiring local artists.
