Results of mineral analysis:

Red minerals:
  High Integrity
  High Conductivity
  Not suitable for power generation
  Suitable for: Frame Construction, Wiring, Alloys

Yellow minerals:
  Medium Integrity
  Variable Conductivity
  Not suitable for power generation
  Suitable for: Electrical Systems and Engines, Wiring, Alloys

Cyan minerals:
  Low Integrity
  Indeterminate Conductivity
  Suitable for power generation
  Highly Explosive
  Currently lack capabilities for thorough examination and alloying
  Suitable for: Power Generation

Construction of basic facilities possible through heavy alloying.

Basic Reactor:
   Produces: 9/energy turn
   Requires: 1 cyan/turn
   Construction Requirements: 25 red, 15 yellow

Basic Mining Facility:
   Produces: 1/3/5 minerals/turn [dependant on mineral density]
   Requires: 3 energy/turn
   Construction Requirements: 10 red, 30 yellow

Basic Refinery:
   Produces: 3 orange/turn [adjustable]
   Requires: 3 red/turn 3 yellow/turn 9 energy/turn [adjustable]
   Construction Requirements: 50 red, 50 yellow

Power Lines:
   Transfers: 100 energy/turn
   Construction Requirements: 15 red

Buildings can share production with neighbours, but cannot transfer.
Need more advanced alloys for advanced construction.

Spoiler: Clarifications (click to show/hide)

You are supposed to do multiple mining trips to build buildings.
I will execute whatever actions you plan up. You can micromanage if you want to, but I suggest longer plans.
I didnt make you mine this update, because I didnt want you to mine for 30 turns before you even know what you need to mine.(plus theres a better spot for mining)
You can stockpile minerals.

[OREOSOME]

Begin mining of red and yellow minerals, then use it to construct the shells of needed buildings I.e. Mine the ores, build the building, but don't begin powering it yet.

[Shades]

Move to the darker red area before mining it, I assume darker is more dense.
Once we have enough for basic mine, move to the darker yellow area to get the yellow required.

I'm unsure how building works though as we can only hold 30 minerals and the basic mine requires 40.
Edit: If we can build a mine it should go on an edge cyan square so it we can next build an adjacent power plant to fuel it.

[10ebbor10]

We can only move thirty metals at a time. I assume we can either partly build things or just drop them on the ground for a moment.
