In case I didn't mention it

The Things to Come Page
http://www.techsupportalert.com/the-things-to-come-page.htm

This article has a collection of thought provoking science fiction (SF) movies. It surveys an exciting range of imaginative technology, computers, futuristic visions, and underlying modernism. In most cases the films portray compelling possibilities for progress, speculative ideas, or "what if" thought experiments.

The article has a top 100 list of the best SF films of all time, as rated by film critics and users. The ranking is calculated from online critic and user ratings. We can't change the ranking of these films unless the user or critic ratings change, but you can rate the films at the sites that we use as sources. The meta-ratings and grades throughout the pages are also calculated by these source ratings.

Next is our editor favorites presented in a short list of 30+ SF essentials. The goal is to emphasize films that are supportive of future science or technology, or films that are semi-pure to SF, timeless in their visions, or dense with SF gems. The movies don't need high ratings, broad appeal, or box office success; they only need to have excellent or unique SF thought experiments. We also have dedicated decade pages for our complete editor picks of the greatest science fiction movies.

You can compare our comprehensive meta-scores to the ratings of other sites for perspective. Our meta-scores help to understand the Internet buzz for a movie, but they aren't intended as the sole indicator of a movie's quality or to reduce film art and criticism to numbers (our editor choice lists ignore the hype and attempt to comment on the most fascinating SF movies).

Do we have an Energy Weapons tech?

I'd like to have Microwave Tower that adds repel, reduces crime and maybe do whatever Bombard Tower etc do too in a weaker form.

Also, Command and Conquers has Microwave Tanks which would be great for Knockback.

And they use high frequency noise that can only be heard by young people to keep them away from various places in the night (might act as new anti crime building).

The Martians should do in the "War of the Worlds" event! They should have two weapons, heat ray and poison smoke. Both should be available on a Martian Tech branch which should only be accessible if this event fires. Note: the map of Mars should also be different if this event fires.

Energy verses Projectile weapons - you don't want projectile weapons in space if you can avoid it. Anything that can punch a hole in things is going to be a problem in space. Breaking an approaching ship into many bits just makes dodging them much harder IE you have just turned one large projectile aimed at you into thousands of small ones any one of which may kill you.

Rightfuture what Transhuman Techs for you find missing from the Era?

rightfuture · Sep 3, 2013

I need to look at your updated map. I just started reading it.

That may take a day or two to cover suggestions. I have a bunch of sources to post still.
Haven't made any lists yet. It would be basic at best, what did you think of Carbyne?
I probably have a few hundred - thousand future links that can cover the transhuman age.
I will have to sort them out.

I am positive there are some things to add.
Need to get on it so you can commit.

I'll try to get it out asap.

Know I posted this one. but not the adjoining reddit discussion:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/1iq4c2/a_chart_demonstrating_future_technological/
Nice 'little' set of links on the right, whole subreddits/forums on the subjects.
Good chance on a couple dozen great things in there somewhere.

rightfuture · Sep 3, 2013

I'm just going to link dump and then break it down.
Here is just a few months of the more recent future related stuff I directly sorted.
Just a tip of the iceberg mountain.

Note: this is mostly read articles that were basically of some minor to greater interest. Some of it is unsorted.
A lot of it was just interesting reading or mislinks. So please disregard spare loose ones.
I bet you could quickly find some gems.
I wish they didn't truncate the titles so much.

Update: the ones at the bottom of the list are liable to be more special. many are duplicated.
ps I read very quickly so I can sort similar ones out. I have a much better prior list, that I need to update. Actually I have at least 10 prior lists.
I have thousands more links which could be relevant. Most of them are still good.

I assume you mean post ideas for buildings. I don't want you making any buildings without my approval first. Which basically means me reposting in the building thread.

Yes it's still the same system lol, building ideas.

Added the biopunk theme that is the next generation of biological warfare as Techs; can be biological, genetic, cybernetic, virtual, and android pathogens of many biopunk themes. They are optional to research on Tech Tree but are extremely deadly. the next weapons of mass destruction.

Prototyped Pathogens (x89, y 17)
Requires: Bacterium Engineering AND Personalized Health AND Affective Algorithms

Dystopia Pathogens (x97, y13)
Requires

rototyped Pathogens AND DNA Computing AND Cyberimmuniology AND Electromagnetic Voltage

Apocolyptic Pathogens (x104, y9)
Requires: Dystopia Pathogens AND Nanoming AND Artifical Life AND Comprehensive Cybernetics

Added the Cybepunk Theme known as Synthetic Sentience as a Tech

The short version,

* Virtual life that interacts in the real world as holograms aka Holographic Pets.
* The Internet as an collective virtually alive organism
*Virtual Avatars (aka with Augmented Reality you can dress up as monsters/fantasy by downloading software and others with Augmented Reality glasses will see you as a monster. Augmented Reality is ubiquitous, and all of this is powered by digitized fabrics. )

*Virtual Organisms (evolutionary algorithms is like virtual DNA. Creatures can exist in virtual worlds that for the most part are alive, which are made of "intelligence organelles" that virtually keep the creature alive. Like real world pathogens can kill actual animals, computer virus can permanently kill virtual life.

*Other stuff that is more technical.

All of this gets upgraded with Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing and Simulated Reality TECH down the tech tree.

The long version:

Synthetic Sentience (x92, y17) [virtual cybernetics]
Requires: Mass Surveillance AND Holographics AND Droids AND Gene Jurisprudence

Main Transhuman "Mini-Eras"
[Internet------>Digitization--->Synthetic Sentience--->Cybernetics---->Technological Singularity]

Added the Theme of Utopia as a Tech called Utopian Destiny

In the United States in the 19th century, Manifest destiny was the widely held belief that American settlers were destined to expand across the continent. Utopian Destiny is the widely held befief near the end of late Transhuman Era that society should create an Utopia. This tech will house elements like poverty eradication, super sanitation, cyber noah arks, meticulous sanitation, ecology, global welfare, global medical care, among other things. It will be a small scale utopia but some progress will be made. True utopias will be late galactic era.

Utopian Destiny (x100, y7) []

Transhuman Era Blueprint
Part One: : Artificial Intelligence and Androids

Artificial Intelligence is the new electricity of the Transhuman Era in that it is ubiquitous. At first it is simple speech, gesture, facial recognition software. A.I then gains the ability to recognize human language then it becomes "intuitive" in that it has the capability to collaborate with other A.Is. With Evolutionary Algorithms and Synthetic Sentience , virtual life becomes possible with evolutionary algorithms taking the role of "virtual DNA". These virtual creatures have the max intelligence as birds then cats and dogs, but not human level intelligence. At this stage the Internet becomes a living organism similar to Apple's Siri in that it can evolve and reprogram itself without human coding.

The A.I is slowly reaching human level around the time Exocortex Networks are invented. Media Hiveminds are extremely popular , but Exocortex Networks revolutionize society because it augments the brain's biological high-level cognitive processes. With Artificial Intelligence advances, Droids get upgraded to Androids and Cybernetics are possible. Quantum Computing also helps the A.I evolve because it can simulate neurons.

Binary Legislation allows A.I to control certain sectors of society, allows 12th Generation and over Android certain rights and establishes those Androids are equal members of society. Android Brothels were legal, but now Humans can form domestic partnerships with their Android Lovers. There are rumors the Androids will be allowed to vote, but opponents are that they should count as 3/5th of a vote. Similiar to the Anti-Slavery movement of American History, scholars argue that using neuroinduction fields to control high level Androids is the new Slavery. Others argue that Android Labor should be replaced by low level human clones of the lowest Epsilon and Delta classes,(Brave New World), because they have been genetically engineered to be low intelligence. Humans with cybernetics are more likely to be infavor of Android Emancipation, and their is a growing movement of Cyborgs (51% cybernetic, 49% organic) who want accelerated technological change and are protesting to create Technological Utopias.

A.I then gains extra dimensions at Binary Subconciousness like having the ability to simulate senses like taste , smell (olfacoception or olfacception), and touch (tactioception) temperature (thermoception), kinesthetic sense (proprioception), pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception), emotions, electronic sheeps (dreams), and are truly human. Also Vomeronasal organs (sexual reproduction), Magnetoception, and Electroreception become avaliable. This, along with the uterine replicator sparks an A.I "golden age" with 12th Generation Androids being almost humanlike.

Also Simulated Reality is around the corner which enrages certain religious and technophobic groups, claming that mother nature and their diety are the only ones allowed to create worlds. Virtual Life has been around for decades, but with Simulated Reality you can enter virtual worlds that appear indistinguishable from actual reality, with smells, taste, and all the senses interacted. Before, virtual life was represented as holograms that at interacted with the environment. Now Virtual Life have their own actual virtual worlds . They feel so alive, and the world can be anything to your imagination. The Matrix and Neo are here.

The A.I continues getting more powerful, and it becomes so advanced that along with Mind Uploading, we enter the Technological Singularity. The technological singularity, or simply the singularity, is a theoretical point in time when human technology (and, A.I will have so rapidly progressed that, ultimately, a greater-than-human intelligence will emerge, which will "radically change human civilization, and perhaps even human nature itself."Since the capabilities of such an intelligence may be difficult for an unaided human mind to comprehend, the technological singularity is often seen as an occurrence (akin to a gravitational singularity) beyond which—from the perspective of the present—the future course of human history is unpredictable or even unfathomable.

Then comes the Humanoid Age, where humans and Humanoids are virtually identical, except Humanoids are seen as Homo Superior 4.0, in that they have biologically rengineered organs, and have vastly superior intellegence than a birth human. An example of a Humanoid is kinda the humanlike Cylons of Battlestar Galactica. Slowly , Humanoids start becoming the mainstream commanders of society, and unSingularitzed,( havent uploaded their minds), humans are angry that they are becoming 2nd class. The Technological Singularity is making it hard for unSingularitzed humans to even comprehend what is going on in society. There is talk of creating mythological beasts of ancestor past like Dragons, Unicorns, and others. Then the new science of Speculative Physiology allows the biological creation of new plants and animals that have never existed. Humans become equal to Humanoids by downloading their minds to machines.

Then the whole planet becomes one giant Terra computer, with virtually all A.I linked into "mega A.I Banks" that are the new megacoporations. With Human Transmutation, Humans have a chance to become more powerful version of Homo Superior, but instead humanity becomes divided into subspecies like Icarus Sapiens ,(winged humans), Gaia Sapiens(plant humans), Aquarius Sapiens (similiar to Atlantis, can breathe underwater), Geo Sapiens (infused with ore, live underground), and other branches. Eventually these human subspecies evolve into human like alien races. A.I is heavily used in almost every branch of society, and a necessity for space travel.

Then a couple of hundred years into the future Humanoids evolve into X-Humans (ex humans). Space exploration is done with von neumann and then the A.I becomes Black Hole Brains, Supernova Brains that are almost godlike and are required to enter the multiverse.

Part Two of The Transhuman Blueprint will be Biologicals. Coming soon.

HOLD UP!!!!

Please no optional techs besides the single "Punk" ones. Remember all the punks are only available to a single civ who gets the "Punk" wonder. So adding additional techs would not make sense. Since it would only be beneficial to one civ.

Note each alt timeline can be enhanced by general techs on the tech tree but the "punk" techs should NEVER lead to any techs. For example the Zepher requires both Clockpunk and Hot Air Balloons tech. Normal players can get a Hot Air Balloon by researching that tech, but those who got the Clockpunk wonder can get Zephers too.

Please either remove or generalize said new techs.

I am confused.

1. They are not punk techs. They were inspired by themes in those literally works.

2.They connect to each other all the way to Analyze Strings.

3. They are already generalized.

4. Biopunk, Cyberpunk, Nanopunk don't lead to anything.

5.what about future religions /beliefs.

1,2,3. Then what did you mean by the above bold part? Becuase if they are not dead end techs that's perfectly fine.

4. Phew good.

5. Talk to Dancing Hoskuld. He handles all religious stuff in the game. Thus you need to get his approval if you wish to add religious dead end techs and new religions.

Faustmouse · Sep 5, 2013

Could you please stop adding techs? I think the TH era already has more techs than it shoould have... Personally, I don't want a too details TH era because the other eras aren't so extremely detailed, too.
