What kind of planet is this?

[Draxis]

Full description here, but basically it's mostly rock and water, has a 40 Earth-year day, and has unstable weather over the sunside oceans and the terminator.  There is red algae that lives in the ocean, and gets spread around often by storms, making everything sort of red.

[Nunzillor]

Is it confirmed that there are no other life forms?

[Aseaheru]

Well, get things underground and secure ship?

Dang ninja. No, its not confirmed, because things. Like we havent LOOKED yet.
We just got here.

1 Production Action from the Automated Production Line. 2 Manpower.
    - Aid in airlock construction
    - Create powersuits
    - Create D/D vehicles
    - Create algae recycling system

1 Construction action from the Powersuits. 2 + 10 Manpower.
     - Dismantle Improvised dome
     - Construct airlock for the underground compound
     - Install ore refinery
     - Continue road construction

1 Mining action from the D/D Vehicles. 2 Manpower.
     - Continue mining

1 Engineering Action - design only - from the VR pod in the Rec Commons.  Gains a penalty for very large or complex systems (like the new reactor design). 1 + 4 Manpower
     - Smalify ground echoing system to scan for minerals.
     - Design algae recycling system

1 Science Action from the General Laboratory.  -10 noncritical to all rolls, unless very basic. 3 Manpower.
     - Develop Biocrete
     - Develop carbon based materials (Biological substitute for metals, and other advanced resources)

Quite annoying that we don't have any idea how much various stuff costs. Would be nice to know how much power suits, or some new drilling vehicles would cost us.

Anyway: priorities.

1) We must find metals or alternative resources of some sort.
2) We need to atmospherically seal our underground compound, so that we can expand our population
3) We need to start rapidly expanding our industrial base.

I agree to all those points, and also would deem that more mining equipment should be our top priority - after the aforementioned saftey procedures, that is.

I would suggest that we also use the Production Action from the Machine Shop - Even if it only assembles those parts that the APL would have problems with.

We need 8 people to move the Sonar Mapper. Which we should do, within reason. I actually think we really should scan "all of the base", lest we breach the caverns! ... or something. No, really - structural damages could lead to a cave-in of our caverns. Not something we want to possibly happen.

Edit: Yeah, it does. I thought about adding some errand-boys previously, to speed up the transfer of goods, but then thought otherwise - and forgot to delete that part. Either way, fixed ><. (As in - Deleted for my convience.) ;3

Either way, even if it is 4 Manpower, we can also spare those. Not like we have a timesink where they would be worth it more than here.

The machine workshop uses 4 people, not 2.

Might as well post an action list:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1 Repair Action from the Damage Control / Machine Shop. 4 Manpower
    - Extensively check the outside of the ship for any weak points/loose plates. Fix them.
1 Production Action from the Automated Production Line. 2 Manpower.
    - Aid in airlock construction
    - Rollover to making some basic hand-held mining tools. (I doubt we'll have enough materials for Powersuits or D&D vehicles).

1 Construction action from the Powersuits. 2 + 9 Manpower.
     - Dismantle Improvised dome
     - Construct airlock for the underground compound
     - Install ore refinery
     - Continue road construction

1 Mining action from the D/D Vehicles. 2 Manpower.
     - Continue mining

1 Engineering Action - design only - from the VR pod in the Rec Commons.  Gains a penalty for very large or complex systems (like the new reactor design). 1 Manpower
     - Smalify ground echoing system to scan for minerals.
     - Design algae recycling system

1 Science Action from the General Laboratory.  -10 noncritical to all rolls, unless very basic. 3 Manpower.
     - Develop Biocrete
     - Develop carbon based materials (Biological substitute for metals, and other advanced resources)

1 manpower to observe the brewing storm.

Based off of Ebbor's, moved extra manpower from VR pod to the Damage Control bay, changed the APL orders slightly, moved one manpower from construction to storm-watching.
