I think you need to reconsider the pace at which your moving with agricultural development. In the two or three months this RP's lore as progressed the Philippines has grown internally far faster than should be possible. They've developed a new method of agriculture, wind turbines, and new fertilizer. In one way or another, that's far too much to dump into the lore as technological or scientific contributions from a still developing, agricultural economy and I have to request you slow down.

I'm willing to make concessions on the new farm model, if it's acknowledged it is currently severely limited and has yet to be introduced across the entire islands. As well, the wind turbines require a vast amount of pre-requisite development that would be better handled by more developed countries like the US or western Europe: turbines for power generation require stable power storage and light weight metals like aluminum. These too you can keep on the condition that at some near point it's shown they are ultimately unreliable hack-jobs for the entire communities they're supposed to power.

But for as small a thing as it seems, I can not let you keep the new fertilizer. As off-handed as it seems it's sudden introduction in the expanding Philippine arsenal of tools raises warning flags. You have to cut that.

The meat of the matter is that bringing these in so off-handed acknowledges to me that you are overlooking the actual development process for these technologies and developments. There is no period of in-universe research, no identifying and studying a problem, no design work, and no acquiring funds and materials for a long and tedious building and testing process, all within the RnD process. If you're willing too to release something so quickly then I expect that it be treated like the snake oil you're making it out to be and I'm starting to expect the Philippines to go through some sort of Lysenko collapse through immature policies and programs.

I am calling for you to slam the brakes on this matter now.

Sorry for the delay in responding to this; I was engrossed in something else.

But until now, my various innovations, despite the above-mentioned lack of research time, design works, and acquisition of funds and materials, are plausible as low-tech inventions. And I personally consulted you and the people of this Discord about William Kamkwamba-style windmills back when it was discussed.

>I'm willing to make concessions on the new farm model, if it's acknowledged it is currently severely limited and has yet to be introduced across the entire islands.

I already tried to imply that in its introduction.

>As well, the wind turbines require a vast amount of pre-requisite development that would be better handled by more developed countries like the US or western Europe: turbines for power generation require stable power storage and light weight metals like aluminum.

These are Kamkwamba Windmills that IRL, were made with wood and a dynamo made from junk, and even the version I am using for PoW can only power a few lightbulbs for small towns with only a few dozen people.

Edit: And Car Batteries [i]are[/i] the power storage for the windmills.

>But for as small a thing as it seems, I can not let you keep the new fertilizer. As off-handed as it seems it's sudden introduction in the expanding Philippine arsenal of tools raises warning flags. You have to cut that.

That can be edited out; let me do so.

>I am calling for you to slam the brakes on this matter now.

It will be edited out.
