Live Events/All Hands on Deck

## All Hands on Deck

> *I'll make this brief we're at a tipping point. The latest environmental reports show we just have a few short years to curb climate change before irrevocable damage threatens life as we know it. It's grim, but it's reality. We don't have the luxury of ignoring this issue any longer, action must be taken.*

> *Luckily, there's still time to make a difference, and I've been told you're just the person to take the charge. I've gathered together some of the best and brightness among us to assist you in what is perhaps the most urgently important task ever assigned. Coordinating with them won't be easy, but acting on their proposals should help turn this ship around.*

**All Hands on Deck** is a “World Environment Day”-exclusive (until June 2022) live event that runs around June 5th, starting at 12:00AM UTC on a Saturday. During the event's runtime it could be reached by tapping an icon of Earth underneath the icon that allows you to Fast Forward worlds. Tapping the event icon would take you directly to the event planet, a badly damaged Normal mode Earth. The world is played with the United Nations Space Administration. From late 2022 onwards, this event runs at any weekend.

Four milestones could be reached in the event, each giving different rewards. This event started with the Culture settings that comes with the UNSA (30% Democracy, 15% Knowledge, No Plutocratic government) and satellites are disabled for this event.

## Milestones

Milestones can be viewed by clicking the event icon (the Earth icon) while player are already on the event world.

This is also the place where collect your rewards after you have completed the milestones.

You can earn these milestones in any order (except the last one, that one is last).

### Popular Science

*Enough upholding broken systems -- it's time to reevaluate everything we know. New technologies, especially in food production, are the key to our survival! Let our people grow in new directions!*

Goal: Increase population to 10,000,000,000.

Rewards: 4 cards for Keahi Malae, 2,000,000c & 10 Carbon Impact Points.

Text after achievement:

*Now that's what I call working smart! As long as these technologies continue to be adapted, we hypothesize a greater, greener future where humanity thrives. We hope to observe much progress!*

### Money Grows on Trees

*Any corporate empire worth their salt understands a sustainable future is the only future. Investing in green industries now will yield profits hand over fist later.*

Goal: Increase revenue to 8,000,000c.

Rewards: 4 cards for Appolo Matiba, Bronze Governor Pack, 5,000,000c & 10 Carbon Impact Points.

Text after achievement:

*Great work. When corporations take their rightful responsibility for climate change, they reap the rewards of a greener portfolio. My competitors who refused to foster a sustainable future will suffer the consequences.*

### Homecoming

*Surprised to see me? You shouldn't be -- the Sons of Hephaestus aren't anti-terraforming when it comes to Earth. Let's return our home to its natural state.*

Goal: Increase biomass to 860,000Mt.

Rewards: 4 cards for Neil Jansson, 30 GP, 10,000,000c & 10 Carbon Impact Points.

Text after achievement:

*Home, sweet home! Out of all the countless planets out there, Earth is the only one meant for us. Makes sense to fix our world up before ruining another!*

### Heaven on Earth

*The Daughters of Gaia are not satisfied with merely returning our Mother Earth to her pre-industrialization state. We shall endeavor to fufill her destiny and achieve paradise.*

Goal: Achieve Paradise Habitability.

Rewards: 4 cards for Alana Freyja Lee, 15 Fast-Forward Hours, 50 GP & 10 Carbon Impact Points.

Text after achievement:

*No greater sight exists in this universe than our Mother Earth bathed in green splendor. We are supremely blessed by this sacred act of cultivating life. Let us bask in her resplendence.*

### All Hands on Deck

*By combating climate change, we are not just saving the Earth, but saving ourselves. There's still time to make a difference!*

Goal: Complete all milestones

Rewards: 10 cards for Layla al-Battani, 70 GP, 10 Carbon Impact Points & Silver Governor Pack.

## Random Events

These random events can only happen during this live event. All live-event-exclusive random events have the title of their respective live event.

### Biomass Increase

*As part of an international green protocol agreement, cities all over the world are mandating that skyscraper rooftops maintain gardens featuring local plant varieties, promoting biomass growth in otherwise barren places.*

*Our biomass has changed by [number] Mt.*

Increases biomass a small amount by less than 1000Mt.

### Biomass Decrease

*Severe wildfires have been raging like never seen before; although firefighters appear to be getting the situation under control, the loss of vegetation is already staggering.*

*Our biomass has changed by [number] Mt.*

Decrease biomass a large amount up to approximately 5% of total biomass.

### Facility Destruction

*A handful of facilities have been the unfortunate target of a smear campaign led by an antagonistic politician. Motivated by the angry rhetoric, a violent mob has descended upon them, rendering them completely inoperable.*

*[number] of our facilities have been destroyed:*

*- [facility] in [city].*

Destroys anywhere one or two facilities which can be in different cities.

## Strategy

This event is more or less similar to The Sundering, but with water below paradise level and critically low biomass amount. Plus there are **Deforestation** and **Excessive Food Production** which further decrease biomass in return of very low culture revenue. (Excessive Food Production also increase heat) And Biomass tech tree is completely different from usual, forcing players to replan strategies.

All Hands on Deck exclusive Biomass Technology Tree
* Assign *Biomass Consumption Reduction governors* in high population cities by any means. This helps buy some time before ecological collapse.
* Spend 7M credits and 18 GP on **Rushing** Research and Construct (R&C) Rodale institute and build them as much as possible in 2 cities, especially where Rebecca Freyja O'Rourke and Alana Freyja Lee is assigning.
	+ Consider using construction time/cost reduction governors on your own liking.
	+ Rodale Institute generates the highest biomass growth and also increase water as a side effect. Which gives the highest benefit overall.
* Prioritize culture shift to *Plutocracy*, then shift to *Wealth* after Spaceport research.
	+ Birthrate will take care of the **Popular Science** (1st) milestone by itself without any governor boost, even with *Neutral Government.*
	+ Keeping *Knowledge Values* in the early game is necessary for reducing time needed to research technologies. Only start shifting to *Wealth Values* when all mandatory tier 3 facilities are researched. (Rodale Institute and Spaceport)
	+ Shifting to *Industrial economy* reduces construction time, but decrease biomass growth as well. Shift on your own risk.
* Keep online all the way until *Culture Revenue* reach acceptable levels, then ***Stay away from the game until Rodale Institutes finish construction***.
	+ Turning notifications on during this time is recommended if not sure when to safely back online after being away.
	+ This is only way to avert ecological collapse, which can wipe out the whole population.
* After bringing Biomass levels under control, R&C Cooling Plants (or Aerostat Platforms) to counteract heat increase and maintain liquid water levels.
	+ You have to maintain at no less than 11.75 km (minimum for paradise habitability) and no more than 12.5 km (risk of drowning cities).
	+ Construct cooling facilities in cities with >25 slots or Rodale cities.
	+ Water reduction facilities are not necessary.
* R&C 24 Spaceports in 8 cities and 24 Biofixture Labs in 2 cities. Assign revenue governors in Spaceport cities and facility maintenance reduction governors in BioLab cities.
	+ Upgrade spaceports and biofixture labs if needed to reach 8M credits/min. Boost revenue effects when possible. (practically you need Lvl.4 spaceports with Lvl.3 governors)

## Completion Text

*I don't know what's more impressive -- the fact that you've stopped climate change, or that you've united the seemingly opposed factions while doing so. It seems that even the most stubborn and greedy among us can recognize that, without Earth, things like money, technology, and philosophies simply don't matter.*

*Thank you for your efforts. Because of you, humanity has a future.*

**Important: only press 'Complete Event' when you are ready to leave the event world. After that, the same world can't continue playing that. You can also can't restart this event and complete this event more than once until the event occurs again in the future.**

## Trivia

* The World Environment Day is June 5th.
* Biomass structures in this event was largely changed to function differently. And was made to suit realistically to biosphere restoration method in real life.
* This is the only live event that gives all legendary governor cards as a reward.
