Ooh, that was an awesome roll! I want them all, but we can probably build at least the bot swarm on-site(even if we go underground base, it should be useful for airlocks and stuff). One last thing, did the other projects research anything?

DP for cargo list!

Spoiler: Cargo (click to show/hide)

Chemical production facility 1 size
Satellites
2x Survey Sat
1x Com Sat
1x Weather Sat
Cargo Bays
(MFFK)
Central Gas Mixer
Multi-Chemical Production Facility
Algae Ecosystem Tank Life Support
Central Colony Computer
Bio-Diversity Bay
Exoskeleton Constructors
Digging and Drilling Vehicles
4x Basic Parts
5x Advanced Parts
2x Advanced Materials
2x Food
2x Water
2x Air
5x Vac Suits
1x Large Dome
1x Heavy Bot Mech
1x T&E Truck Train
Project Legacy

The MFFK, the BDB, the colony computer, and all the life support equipment goes in Bay 1, the rest(with the exception of a couple sets of vac suits, which are stored in the hallways for easy crew access) goes in Bay 2.

As for Launch, hit that sucker! (The 3 leftover RU can go back to the Vaults, unless we can somehow fill the leftover space in our hull with a slug consisting of 1x basic and 1x advance materials)

Right, research from other outposts.

[66] Cargo Stacking 1 RU Size -1 Mass 0
Various parts of large cargo can be broken down and stashed in a more compact way.  This makes building them more complex both in orbit and on the ground.
        Size 5 or larger cargo items can have this applied once to reduce size by 1.
        Cargo item must be built before any use at -10 to the roll.

[18] Project Legacy 1 RU size 1 Mass 1
This large storage computer has data on the cultural, historic and artistic legacy of all of mankind pulled from databases around the globe.  The data is heavily compressed and hard to access while in this format.
        Bonus to any moral or artistic research projects.
        Heavily shielded, +20 to all rolls to resist damage.

Dropping 1x advanced materials for project legacy

What's the benefit of the Central Gas Mixer? As far as I can see, it's simply 1 RU more expensive than the Air Extractor, but otherwise identical.

[TopHat]

I'm don't think we should take either the Central Gas Mixture or the Oxygen Extractor, both are simple and should be fairly easily built on site. The T&E Truck Train can also be ditched to save on cargo space. (8RU & 6 Size saved). In their place we could take either a Heavy Bot Mech or the Domebots (I'm leaning towards HBM for its versatility) + 1 unit of Advanced Medical Supplies & an extra 1RU of resources (2xFood?) with the spare RU, leaving:

That sounds workable. I'll agree so we can grab a second heavy bot mech.

That would mean my cargo list is:

Went with an extra unit of both food and water instead of 2x food or 2x water.

[10ebbor10]

I think that is quite a lot of excess water, food and air.

I think it might be nice to reduce that and instead take some extra stuff. For example, we could go for an Organic Sludge Processor, sure, it's crappy food, but it's edible.

Fee free to make your own list then

The oxygen extractor produces much less breathable air (as opposed to pure oxygen which it does really well) and can not filter out specific elements.  For example the Central Gas Mixer could separate out each component of the atmosphere into separate chemicals then remix however you want.  The oxygen extractor can be altered to do this but is not designed for it.

If you are just looking to get oxygen out of an atmosphere, yeah it is a superior choice.

As an aside, forcing purchase of some of the cargo during the early years seems like a better idea for any future games so it doesn't all come down like this.

My thoughts are that once we de-cryo everyone the stored food will last until we get hydroponics set up, negating the need for a sludge processor as an intermediary, though you're right we have a large excess. If we cut 1 unit each of food, water & air, though, we could squeeze in another set of exo-skeletons instead, which now I think about it actually sounds like a good deal. So, my vote goes to:

EDIT- 3xFood & 1xWater would also be fine.

I find that to be a perfect compromise actually. +1 from me!

Edit:As for Cargo Assignments, I want 2 sets of vac suits in the hallways/living areas for emergencies, The MFFK, the Biodiversity Bay, the Colony Computer the life support equipment, and two units of advanced parts in Cargo Bay 1(the smaller bay), with the rest in Bay 2.

Edit edit:Goes without saying satellites go in the satellite storage!

[TopHat]

Oh, and I almost forgot: +1 to launching now.
I have no preference as for cargo arrangements

Supporting the TopHat Plan!

[Terenos]

I too support the Tophat Plan.
