What is your idea?

New Tech: "24-bit Body Sensors" Desc: "Breakthroughs in physical touch sensors have enabled our mechanical populace to touch and feel the world at a resolution far beyond that when we were still in organic shells." Extended desc: "Touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight: all the channels through which our bodies experience the world. The increase in sensory resolution has given our populace a profound taste of the sensual, and for many, it is a kind of emotional-spiritual awakening, deepening the connection to the physical. As a result, this newfound connectedness puts the average citizen more at ease, reducing their need to consume things, reducing their need to have widgets and gadgets delivered to the doorsteps, because the greater joy of simply existing better fills their personal void." Effect: Mechanical pop -10% CG upkeep, happiness +10%

New Tech: "Gender Deprogramming" Egalitarian ethic only Desc: "Now that we are mechanical, we can reprogram the social hierarchy of our society to remove restrictions on expected behaviors, expected dress, and absolve individuals of performing certain roles due to arbitrary characteristics." Extended desc: "When we were biological, our society relied heavily on our species' sex-based genders to provide structure to social order, and assign certain types of work in order to automatically divide labor. Mechanical bodies and digital personalities make sex characteristics arbitrary. By deprogramming this obsolete social behavior, our populace will be more free to express their emotions, feelings, and take on any social role they wish, without being limited by a biological way of thinking." Effects: Strata promotion is faster, amenities output ++, unity output ++, happiness +10%, assembly speed +2.5%
