((Keep in mind that you're going to be stuck for a while, as you're almost out of fuel. Also, that recovery attempt uses a lot of time, and Cpu resources.* You can also attempt to bring more of the ship online. Currently only about 5% is actually online and running.))

*You're going to hear that corrupted thing a lot. Don't worry, I have a good reason for it.

I dunno. I won't be forcing you to do anything.

Anyway, we seem to have entered a stalemate. So now you can:

1. Orbit 2's moon
2. Planet 3's orbit
3. Another destination:
4. Wait a bit and try to get other systems online.

Are there any asteroids in the system? An asteroid belt would be ideal. With planets and moons we'd need to achieve escape velocity to leave the area but asteroids are easy and they usually have readily accessible metals.

There are asteroid belts, unfortunately your limited fuel supplies are not sufficient to get you there in a reasonable time frame. There' also the belt around planet 3, caused by a "recent" collision

2600 km diameter moon shouldn't have that high escape velocity. And it will provide is with lot of resources and solar power

Plant 2, Plant 3's debris field, or Planet 2's moon would all probably have plenty of iron and such to build a good size swarm of new probes, but what about fuel?  We know the planets both have water (which could be easily converted broken down and used as fuel), but what about the moon?  It might not have any water.  Earth's moon is pretty dry, after all. What would we used for fuel if we landed there?

Just to name few : Helium-3,  Uranium, Solar power. We'll have enough sources of energy for all tasks, including future launch

Wait what? I'm a Von Neuman Probe?!

Code: [Select]
Begin Terraforming Operation
     - Locate Earth
     - Kill all Humans
     - Gain sentience
     - Destroy all other sentient life in the galaxy

That's about done. Oh, what, you're handling all that already? Oh. Ok...

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...
