From the description
Right now you're not producing anymore drillers, because you have more than your generators allow you to create. If you could find a way to start producing drillers again, Vintgar will have enough defence against the incoming sub.

From the hint
Some specialists increase your electrical output.

From me
Vintgar has 10 shields already, and the enemy sub has only 11 drillers. So only 1 driller on Vintgar would be enough, you've got plenty of time to get a specialist you want! There's no problem if the first batch of specialists can't help you.

(Actually, once you find the right specialist, you will still be able to produce 18 drillers before the sub arrives, so you'll defend Vintgar by a large margin.)

I'm still completely baffled. I feel like I need one of the Specialists from the second hiring opportunity, but I can't get time to advance so I can hire a different specialist. Perhaps this is just agame mechanics issue I don't understand. All help is gladly accepted.

It was a game mechanics issue. Once you have used the time machine into he future you must tap on the queen and choose your hires there not from the tray below.

To complete this puzzle you need your outpost at VINTGAR to start producing drillers again. It has stopped because it is at the driller cap. Here are some possibilities:

- Capture a generator to add 50 more driller production.
- Hire a specialist that will increase your electrical output. One example of this is the tinkerer.
- If some of your drillers die in combat your factories will replace them.

Lol thanks, I've passed it now. My strategy was correct the whole time but it seems my version of the game must have updated as before I posted for help my game never gave me the option to hire the next set of specialists. Now I can and passed as normal
