We can only bring 12 units per trip.

For now, I suggest the antigrav, the computer components, two armor platings, and five rationses. The first two seem the most unique, the rest is about all we can take after that.

+1
After we've taken what we want contact Rod and see if he want's to share what's left in exchange for sharing the truck use.

+1

[Aseaheru]

+1

Although, we can always hide things there, right?

[RulerOfNothing]

Or you know, just walk twice. We're getting so focused on getting that truck with us, when we can just walk back forth multiple times.

I'm pretty certain that walking there thrice will be significantly faster (and cheaper) than cutting a way through the forest.

+1 to this.

Oh, you got distracted with that whole communication spree. Looks like the robots have things under control though. 2 of the Bullwarts got away but it looks like A-5 is double checking that the one that didn't is dead.

+50xp for dealing with all that.

It looks like night will fall in 2 turns.

Everyone is now idle.

It's been quite a while since I've done an update that isn't a combat or communications one so I may have forgotten something.

Just so you know you are in the position to make more office bots if you wanted. Since you can manufacture 2 things a turn and you have the electronics blueprints you can make some electronics and an office bot in a single turn.

I'm also going to say the Loomery can turn animal fur into cloth as well as plant fiber.

[Gamerlord]

Have one or two bots fill in the mining rig's ditch thing behind it. That thing just looks ugly.

[10ebbor10]

Have one or two bots fill in the mining rig's ditch thing behind it. That thing just looks ugly.

No, why would you do that. It's completely counterproductive, and a waste of robotpower.

Researchers: Resume research
Oil rig: Resume production
Mining rig: Resume digging
Robot 1: Create 6 extension cords. That should allow us to use all our robots  and the mining rig without need for downtime for recharging.
Robot 2: Drag the corpse inside or burn it. This is going to attract predators
Robot 3: Fabricate some containers to put the concrete in. We don't want it to be ruined by the morning dew.

[Tomcost]

Have one or two bots fill in the mining rig's ditch thing behind it. That thing just looks ugly.

The main idea was to have a ditch, you know.



Also, we should recharge everything before it becomes dark, I think.

[10ebbor10]

Recharging everything might be a good idea, but there's no so much haste. We have massive amounts of power.

((On a side note, we're on a moon, right? So it's not unlikely that we might get a eclipse for several days or weeks at a time, as the moon passes behind the gasgiant.))

[Tomcost]

It is mainly because we get +20 power a turn, but there are two turns until that income stops, and we don't know how much time can last the robots.

[10ebbor10]

The robot's need to charge for 5 turns a day. IIRC, they use 0.5 power.

With our 50 power reserve, that should be more than enough, and if needed, we can turn on the generator. I'm just curious to see how much power that thing produces.

Anyway: edited action

[Der Metzger]

we will need some kind of Lightsource for Nighttime. How about making some Torches or build some kind of Lantern with the Bulb on a Long Stick in the Middle of our Colony.

[Tomcost]

Shouldn't we see if the corpse is edible at least? Or make its fur into clothing? I don't like to waste resources. At least get a DNA sample from it.

[Evil Lincoln]

Pretty sure that's correct, so if it wasn't it is now.

we will need some kind of Lightsource for Nighttime. How about making some Torches or build some kind of Lantern with the Bulb on a Long Stick in the Middle of our Colony.

An electric lantern will take 1 man-turn to research.

The materials required would be 1 metal and 1 Glass/1 Crystal for 3 Lanterns.

[Der Metzger]

Then i would say we stop research temporarily and reseach Lantern. Then we craft 6 Lantern and build a circle around our base. In the meantime we could butcher the Corpse, make some cloth from the fur and examine the meat if it is edable, if yes we could cook it near a fireplace or something.

Edit:
How about Nightvision moduls for our Drones? What would it need to researche/build them?

     - Research lanterns
     - Examine the corpse
Oil rig: Resume production
Mining rig: Resume digging

Us : Reverse engineer another weapon, I suppose
