What bonuses does the colony computer give again?

What bonuses does the colony computer give again?

It would be a good idea to add that wouldn't it...

* Optronic Central Computer
        Counts as 5 manpower for trivial tasks (can operate 50 trivial facilities)
        Choose 1:
            +30 bonus to one of virtually any construction, engineering, mining, science or maintenance action
            [0/2] Engineering (design only, same as your VR project) slot : +20

[Aseaheru]

Can we use more than one option for the event? I wouldent mind having both A and B.

Sure as long as they make sense.

[tryrar]

Event Choice:B, D  Looks like we'll need to re-prioritize drainage so we don't simply wash away. Also, given how this area is actually sand and sandy rock, we'll need to think about mudslide prevention.

Wait, isint the computer up and running?

Not sure what you're asking

Hate to say, but we should have designed for this. Sunken domes in a low-lying sandy hillside... is a recipe for flash floods every time it rains.

Looking back, I'm actually wondering what the point with C&C domes is really. 10ebbor, wanna shed some light?

You will find digging, sealing and reinforcing completely underground domes will probably take more time.  Building above ground domes with as much protection as CCdomes would take more time and resources.  The prototype dome is pretty much secure from the water now that is built, even without the drainage system.  You just kinda got unlucky that heavy rains started while the pits were open but the domes were not done.

Ah, I see. So CC domes are about as much protection as armored domes I take it then. Guess we need to focus down drainage then.

Question : What tasks are trivial? Can we get our colony computer to control the Autopilot, Lifesupport and reactor? It controls the algae system, after all.

* [2/2] Medical Bay.
    -Wake Up Crew:wake 2 more people this month to compensate for scheduling snafus

Why 2? We can wake up 3.

[1/1] VR CAD
    - Engineering slot:Design water filtration facility(+20 Natalia, +10 New World)

Why?

Multi-Chemical Production Facility 4 RU Size 1 Mass 2 1 MW-10 MW
This system can synthesize a variety of chemicals from gas, liquid and solid inputs thanks to being watched over by chemical expert systems.  Oxygen and water can be produced in addition to others.  Simple reactions will take as little as 1 MW energy and produce 1 unit per turn.  More complex reactions will require more energy and may be much less productive.
        Must have purified versions of gas inputs and crushed/powdered material. 
        Liquids can generally be filtered and sorted in the facility.  If dedicated to the purpose it can act as a water recycler.
        Can produce a variety of chemicals with varied energy cost and production speeds.
        Existing Expert systems can oversee 4 additional similar facilities if needed, minimal advanced parts needed to expand.  Additional units may be taken without expert systems at 2 RU Size 1 Mass 2.
        Advanced technology, requires advanced parts and repairs at -10.
        Labor intensive (for an advanced technology), 1 manpower for manual input and collection, 1 manpower for oversight.

We have this already. It filters nicely.

I gathered all the things for easier reference.

Oh, right. Now I'm not sure what engineering project to do. Hrm....

Ohhh, I know, a mineral processing facility! Basically something more robust than a simple ore processor, one that can also perform geological studies as well as mineral assays. We can build an add-on to the factory dome and install it there!

Edit:I'm now actually wondering if I should switch the colony computer bonus over to the mineral processing, since if we get that done we can start getting all these tailings processed

[10ebbor10]

Well, I do think you stacked sufficient support on the drainage project.
