COMBAT REPORT:
Pirate Battleship thrusts to get away, but its gas-core nuclear drive fails! Its bearings seize and the centrifuge fragments, destroying the engine and spraying nuclear fuel all over the vicinity.

Iron is an abundant element that is directly made into steel. Without processing it is brittle and weak.
Carbon is an element found mainly inside asteroids and terrestrial planets. It is great for thermal shielding and can be used to create a variety of materials.
Hydrocarbons are a ready source of chemical fuel. They can be refined into energetic fuel for atmospheric craft, or be condensed into plastics for structural use.
Rare Minerals are, as their name implies, rare on Earth and thus incredibly valuable.
Rare Earth Minerals should not be confused with rare minerals. These are not so rare, and are key to building electronics.
Alloy Minerals are used to made durable alloys out of other metals.
Aluminium is a lightweight metal that is the material of choice for lightweight applications like aircraft and spaceships.
Titanium is similar to aluminium in that its strength/weight ratio is extremely high. However, it is extremely rare and requires processing to be useful.
Scrap consists of parts looted from nonfunctional electronics and machines. Each turn, your current scrap is converted into random resources.
Water is the blood of all spacefaring vessels and plays an important role in life as we know it. It is used as a coolant, propellant, solvent, and refrigerant and is absolutely vital to just about any operation.

Voxels are the basic building blocks for 3D printers onboard starships. They consist of polymers coated in a sealing agent, and can only be looted or purchased.
Steel is a high-strength building material with medium density. It is used in a variety of applications, ranging from airframes to armor plating. Made from: 3 Iron, 1 Carbon, 1 Alloy Minerals
Monocrystalline Iron is iron composed of a single crystal, free of defects. It is exceptionally strong, but difficult to manufacture in large quantities. Nonetheless, small shards are ideal for kinetic projectiles. Made from: 1 Iron
Titanium Alloy is titanium processed into a high-strength material capable of taking more stress than steel while being lighter to boot. This stuff puts aluminum to shame. Made from: 4 Titanium, 1 Aluminum, 1 Alloy Minerals
Polymers are plastics made from hydrocarbons. They can be used as-is for lightweight, low-strength applications, or be used in building carbon fiber for more critical uses. Made from: 3 Hydrocarbons, 1 Carbon
Carbon Fiber is an exceptional material, though brittle. It is ideal for armor and lightweight components, but requires complex machining processes to build and cannot be manufactured on the ship.
Circuits are the core components of all electronics. They are needed especially for building nanites. Made from: 1 Polymers, 1 Rare Earth Minerals

[2] The computer activates the UV sterilizers in the air ducts. Since the UV lights shouldn't be shining into the room as it would cause problems for the plants and crew, it doesn't do anything to actually help the plants. It should, however, keep the disease from collecting in the air ducts and spreading afterward, so it's still a good measure.

[4] You order the defunct rover to be unloaded from
Wasp via the cargo elevator and brought into the factory. Robotic arms disassemble the vehicle, removing electronics and funneling them into the recycling unit.
Gained 400 Voxels, 100 Circuits, 100 Steel[6 + 2 / 8] You construct a body, using the existing design as a template. You include HUGE speakers (-30 Voxels, -5 Circuits) and and repurpose the rover's prospecting laser (-5 Circuits) as a weapon, including a HUGE lens made out of the optical systems. The body rolls out of the assembly platform, allowing you to take control of it and walk about on two feet again.
Total Cost: -80 Voxels, -15 Circuits, -10 SteelYou also build 3 bodies for the others.

Well unfortunately you aren't able to go down to the surface yet as your companions disagree.
It seems you have a body now waiting for you. Froggy must have built extra units for the rest of the party.

It appears that the pirate ship has been crippled. That said, there is a lot of harmful radiation surrounding it. This is bad for its crew, but since your bodies are remote-operated you can keep your distance as you control the boarding team.
