It is much much cheaper than Wood.

Concrete is perfect...if you can produce it.

You need water for concrete

Rock Quarry is 5 miles out from stillwater.

Waaaaaiiit

Wouldn't nuclear winter/dust cloud cause radioactive rain

For years afterwards

We also have fracking here.

Yes.

@missdanger

Everyone's got cancer.

That why I specially said Greenhouse used for farming.

@Dusty Morgan that's only oil.

You would need to refine it.

WE have Refineries here as well.

Which is complicated and sophisticated.

Assuming you have power.

=_=... reason we have so much fucking equakes now.

Earthquakes now.

If we cant set up a water source within 3 days, we're 6 way fucked

We could always use what little uranium we have left for the power plant to power them, after repairing the power lines.

I actually don't entirely buy the fracking -> earthquatkes. But that doesn't matter much.

That is why water source would be the first thing.

HOLD IT

Water is the most important thing.

You need water for everything.

And people die from water first.

Using the gas that is left over to pump water, start filtering it out. Repair power lines.

do you know how much water fracking requires

before food.

And lube

Not much, about half water and half mud.

Lube for the fracking

Uh. You're pumping water in to replace the oil.

Stillwater, Oklahoma is perfect to be honest.

What we got near us.

The government is constantly added things.

So however many barrels you're extracting...

We also got those wind generators somewhere in our state.

everywhre.

Let me check on the barrel extraction rate.

uglier than sin and in every farm.

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?f=M&n=PET&s=MCRFPOK1

Over 15K barrels per year I think.

Most of the water source, including from rain will be irradiated and there wont be enough NBC suits to go around

That is why you can use water filtration systems to clear up water and store it in underground reservoirs.

Using the concrete we can create from the rock quary.

That's actually one nice thing about irriated water. You can throw it in the ground for fracking without caring too much.

*Nods.* Using rivers for fracking.

Potable water is much more limited.

Until the towns upstream get the same idea.

Yeah but whose gonna handle the irradiated water

Eh. Everyone's already got cancer.

That is why I want to connect the towns.

Using every resources we have to fuel Oklahoma's rebirth.

We have everything here to survive.

I still think you're thinking a bit too far ahead.

I am thinking at all levels to be honest.

Starting, mid game, and end game.

I'd focus on securing basics. And then stuff like explosive primers for firearms.

Inb4 you get swallow up by the lone star empire

And establishing things like town watches.

Aka texas

If Texas joins us, it would just make things better.

Nah. TX would be among the hardest hit.

We all can work together.

TX is far too valuable. Though I won't say too much more.

All they need to do is clear top soil and work towards fracking that oil and Oklahoma can export food to them.

TX is more vital from a military standpoint than CA or NY at this point.

Thus creating a valuable friendship between states.

CA and NY are more symbolic than valuable.

Texas could be run by their Mayor or main leader.

Oklahoma would be Run by their Leaders.

WE would work off old map's borders.

Important in the current global economy. But not super important if you're fighting a war.

NY is the finance capital of the world

New Yorks...

Honestly I could care less about them.

CA has entertainment and agriculture

They are concrete empire.

Really, TX would have fragmented before then.

With lots of people

California... ugh....

*correction* eastern and northern CA have agriculture. But it's highly dependent on key water irrigation systems.

They would be more likely to try to usper me and take control of everything instead of wanting to work together with me.

Entertainment doesn't matter much in military matters.

You hit entertainment centers only to send a message. Not to actually advance to victory.

Only reason I would lead is to rebuild what was lost.

Hell, sometimes you leave them around just to create a headache for the other side.

CA has a long coastline with loads of naval bases

We'll rule the waves

^ the advantage CA does have.

IF things are stable for us, I would try to send some people out to retrieve the constitution and bill of rights.

But the bases are the most important thing.

I would like to see United States reborn, that is the only symbolic thing I would do.

Other people want to lead to

@Dusty Morgan someone would have beaten you to that long before you even knew the nukes had fallen.

Free for all

Battle royal of the states

Well I wouldn't mind as long as they are willing to rebuild United States.
