[Roboboy33]

Search east for new minerals/metals and is there anyway we can search for caves?

[Aklyon]

Not very well. Theres that radar-absorbing stuff over here.

[Roboboy33]

Then just search east for new things.

[RAM]

Orbital scan of 5,-3; 5,-2; 5,-1; 5,-0; 5,1 for signs of dense population similar to that of -4, 5

[Aklyon]

The orbiter can't scan precisely what the rover hasn't seen with that orbital uplink addon active, its too focused on the rover's potential commands and status. You need to turn that off first to regain orbital flexibility (you can reboot it later.).

[RAM]

Can the rover mine independantly? Would disconnecting trigger the self-destruct?

[Aklyon]

Yes and no respectively. the uplink is only an optional interface. All it does is reform the comms link into full connection instead of just orbiter to rover.

[Roboboy33]

Go east and look for new metals/minerals.

[RAM]

If we are still waiting for it to finish mining then I would like to disconnect and get some scans done so that we don't run into any more villages...

[Aklyon]

Orbital Interface disabled.

Sector 6,-4:
Nothing new. High in minerals, low in new data.
Orbiter Scan 5,-3 > 5, 1: No villages detected.

Inv:
A good amount of coppery mineral.

Spoiler: RoverKnowledge.txt (click to show/hide)

Materials Scan of Sector 5,-4:
Easily accessable: rock, dirt, coppery mineral.
Farther down: Harder minerals, and an unknown radar-absorbing substance. Metals either elsewhere or below the substance. Minerals likely suitable for ground construction, unknown if light enough for mobile use. Also suitable for Cannon cartridge manufacturing with minimal transmution.
Coppery mineral useful for cannon cartridges.

Sector 5,-5:
Conductive rock sample re-collected.
Small live creature found:
Qualities: Small. Likely nonthreatening. Burrower.
Notes: What is it surviving off of? Not much in the way of flora in this region.
Stunned. Collected for possible trade usage, or for SCIENCE!
Materials scan: See Previous

Sector 4,-5:
Large, pointed, minimally eroded rock formation. Signs of unusually common scorching and/or lightning strikes upon it. No signs of storm-related marks or destruction elsewhere in entire sector. Scan indicates resemblance but not matching link to conductive rock sample. area otherwise of no new interest.
Materials scan: Minimal compared to previous, with exception to the lightning-attractor mineral formation extending quite a fair bit down.

Let's fill out this map a little more. Head north three map tiles!

[Aklyon]

That would only add three more blocks to the map. (8, 1 being the farthest out new tile) The rover can detect 2 tiles out from itself in any direction, if you haven't noticed already. Unless you're just trying to green out more of the map, which it probably will do. Not much happening in the mountains.

Also, a note: the orbiter only scans for what you ask it to. There still could be other dangers in the scanned but green designated areas.

[freeformschooler]

Oh. I guess we should head away from the boring green designations then. Head east three instead!

[Aklyon]

Orbiter Village Scan [7,-4 > 9,-4]: Village detected at 9,-4. Confirm east? (Y/N)

[freeformschooler]
