	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
1	Priority	Buckets of Work	Definition	Status	Challenges from the original game
2		Tech tree	The "tier 0" and "tier 1" tech trees.
3		Combat playtesting	We have a combat odds table and combat values for early units. Not sure how players will build units.		There were no discrete units.
4		Player recruiting	I know where to get the players, and a few are standing by, but they won't commit until we're ready.		N/A
5		Map creation	Can TrenchDog make one?		N/A
6		Integrating the SMAX factions	Intention is to heavily edit the 5 human factions from SMAX.		N/A
7		Writing up the RtD factions			N/A
8		Finalizing the RtD factions			N/A
9		Economy mechanics	Figuring out how you generate value from colonization and terraforming.		Too abstract. Players didn't know what to expect from their investments. The original set of mechanics let players apply pips in any category to any task. This created an incentive for players with a large advantage in one area to use it for everything they wanted to do.
10		Social Engineering Matrix	Finalizing the Politics, Economics, Values, and Future Society.		N/A
11		Scientist			N/A
12		Programmer			N/A
