On a side note, our oil pump is spilling, which might be problematic. Might want to look in to that. Might want to make the fire far, far away from that.
And yes, apparently we can't do much with the meat. We could throw a chunk in the river I suppose, to make it easier for the droid to hit stuff. I mean, we don't even know if it's edible, so the only use I have for it at the moment is keeping it to burn in the furnace at night.
Our primary problem right now seems that we have a serious backlog of research. We can't do missions because we don't have a vehicle (and can't research one), we can't gather resources with everyone (because we haven't reverse engineered our tools), and we can't get credits at all because all our salespeople are researching.
As such, our first priority should be to get the AI online. However, we also need some credits as well, and we have some robots being idle. Our most lucrative opportunity, I think, at the moment, is the production and sale of electronics. The orbital depot sold those for 22 credits each, but we, if we procure the needed resources from Rod can produce them for just 2.6 credits each.
So, if we call Rod to buy 20 Greyum Ore (cost: 40), and 20 Silicon (cost: 160), while using our own plastic, we can create 100 electronics to sell. Even at an average price of 5 credits, we get 500 credits out of it.
Since we already have the materials, we can even start producing without waiting for Rod. (Though we would be required to melt or Hexite for Greyum, which means an additional loss of 10 credits.)
Barnum: Continue AI research

Us : Communicate with various people:
- See if anyone here does food delivery
- See if anyone wants to buy the butchered remains of this beast
- Call Rod's digs for 10 Hexium, 20 Greyum and 20 Silicon. Ask if he can bring some rocks as well.
- See if anyone is interested in electronics.
