It might be an interesting feature to be able to spend Drillers to convert an outpost from one type to another.

Maybe send the Drillers to a City where they can be repurposed over a normal production cycle (8h isn't it) and turned into Builders. Then the builders (who have no combat power) can convert a factory into a Generator, or a destroyed outpost into a Factory. Make it progressive, Generators can only be built from a Factory. Require a significant number of them. Drillers need to sit at a City for 8 hours after repurposing is selected before they become Builders.

are you suggesting this as a way to address an issue with the game, or putting it out there as a could-be-neat idea?

I could also picture this for converting old destroyed outposts. It would cost drillers, or a specific specialist (maybe not the latter) to convert it to something usable again. Might be an interesting way to keep the board changing?

that could be really cool actually, because it plays well into the fiction of the game (which we haven't really pushed yet, at all)
