Even better. Well, anyway. Scratch any complaints about the night vision then. At 4 credits a piece they'll be very useful.

Anyway, we should contemplate the construction of additional robots. We have the materials, we have the blueprints, and we have the fabricator.

But we need the AI

[10ebbor10]

Both are not mutually exclusive.

A robot requires 6 metal and 2 electronics. We have the resources to create almost a hundred electronics. Actually, the thing we might get short on is metals. We should have bought more.

I doubt Rod does nightly deliveries, right?

[Evil Lincoln]

How often do we need to sleep anyway.

I'm going to go with the usual 8 turns (forgot to answer this before).

I doubt Rod does nightly deliveries, right?

I doubt it.

[escaped lurker]

I doubt that we will be able to produce enough in such short order, as that we would need to rouse Rod. Even if, as he might become our main-supply of ores I vote against being a pain to him.

On the matter of supplies - ... how many cigs did we pack again?!?

Anyway, creating additional robots sounds good. We can always research specific AIs and models later on. How about 5 for now? Should be plenty, with enough for odds and night-shifts to spare, but not an investment that would hurt us in the long run.

[10ebbor10]

We have metals for at most 3 robots. Unless we decide to buy from the orbital depot.  Which asks a stunning 100% markup.

[Tomcost]

Tell the robot to spare the animal's skull, for intimidation purposes

[The Froggy Ninja]

If we're making an AI I think we should get some Advanced Electronics.

[10ebbor10]

If we're making an AI I think we should get some Advanced Electronics.

I think we shouldn't.

Really, the advanced products of the resource depot are extremely expensive. I mean, electronics is at a 5 times mark-up. I'm certain we can construct the advanced electronics ourselves. I mean, that's why we salvaged the flight computer.

Spoiler: Tentative Plan for the night (click to show/hide)

Our intelligent characters need to sleep 8 turns. Our robots need to recharge for 5, and 2 turns downtime. I'm pretty sure we can't order things while sleeping, so I'm preparing already.

During the night, all drones are plugged in, and they take turns in their downtime. At any point in the night, there will always be 5 drones online.

Turn 1-4:
    - Us: Sleep
    - Clone A: Sleep
    - Clone B: Awake

Turn 5-8:
    - Us: Awake
    - Clone A: Sleep
    - Clone B: Sleep

Turn 9-12:
    - Us: Sleep
    - Clone A: Awake
    - Clone B: Sleep

[Aseaheru]

Yep.

Anyways, I am voteing for

Researchers:
     - Research night vision (Not that it is going to be extremely useful extremely useful for Drones on the outskirts of the Colony)
     - Examine the corpse / Research AI
Oil rig: Continue production
Mining rig: Continue digging
Robot 1: Create 3 more extension cords.
Robot 2: Process the corpse
Robot 3: Create 3 lanterns
Us : Reverse engineer another weapon, I suppose

How often do we need to sleep anyway.

+1 and fixed it

Aswell as producing three bots.


Can we make any glass? if not I suggest we buy just enough for three lanterns.

Night Turn 1-4 (Turn 14 - 18)

According to the schedule you draw up you immediately go to sleep once the sun sets.

The Colony: (you might want to just follow this link instead since it's a big image: http://i.imgur.com/vne0OnU.png)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You awake and Barnum fills you in on what happened while you slept.

Your order for 3 glass arrived and has been used in the construction of some lanterns.
A patrol cord for every bot has been made.
10 electronics have been made in preparation for the creation of new robots.
One of the robots has turned the bullwart fur into cloth and is halfway done butchering the Bullwart that was killed (it isn't very good at butchering).
And the scout party has returned with their loot.

A-1 Helped refine raw materials but A-2 didn't have a job so went into sleep mode. A-2's legs are also very damaged and will have to be repaired before it can do any heavy lifting.

You and Barnum are very hungry. You suspect that Bailey would be too if they weren't asleep.

Spoiler: Author Notes: (click to show/hide)

I'm back from my unannounced new years break. A lot of stuff happened and this turn so I probably missed something.

I did what I should have done from the start and given the bots the same energy stat as the rigs. Plugged in and working is a +3 charge per turn and plugged in and resting is +4. The bots have a max of 20 charge and drain 0.1 for every turn they are plugged in. I think this should roughly give you the same amount of turns required to charge as before.

In case it isn't obvious I went with 10ebbor10's plan for the night.

I just guessed a lot of the power numbers since I've spent a while on this update already and wanted to get it done.

[10ebbor10]

Researchers:
       - Eat then sleep
       - Sleep
Oil rig: Continue production
Mining rig: Continue digging
Robot 1: Transfer some oil to our burner, we will need the extra power.
Robot 2: Continue defrag/whatever 
Robot 3: Continue processing ores. After you've finished with Greyum move on to Relux
Robot 4: Untangle the mining rig before it breaks it's own cable
Robot 5: Continue processing the corpse
Us : Eat then Finish our work with the e-mag rifle

Note: Patrol cords haven't been updated in the notes.
Note 2: It might have been better if we'd dug our ditch slightly further from our camp, hadn't it.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I think we should continue to dig in the current direction, leaving us with the space to expand.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Wake Baily up for a nice midnight "family" meal!

[GiglameshDespair]

I think we should continue to dig in the current direction, leaving us with the space to expand.

+1
Though leave a gap so we can take stuff into our base easily.

Feed the clones with clone chow, eat the rations ourselves. We don't know if the meat of the bullwarts are fit for consumption (plus they're raw.)
