Not a typo. The repair drones I think are secondary in priority compared to fabrication drones, and your developments. We may need them, but a little too early to tell. 1 Unit generously allows for other priority projects to progress while we deliberate.

If there are other projects, they can redefine their priorities as they are proposed; if there aren't, you'll have to post again to avoid wastage.

Carefulrogue · « **Reply #92 on:** November 21, 2016, 06:51:44 pm »

We really need an estimate on how resource intensive your project will be but, I have one we need to prioritize. The refinery suit. Lets get mining and we can work on that production as we wait.

Mining Drone: 15x Basic Metal + 15x Basic Components + 2x Advanced Components + 10x Basic Electronics utilizing precise fabrication suite. Thruster-based non-atmospheric mining drone. 10x internal storage and returns 5x of a resource per 2 processing cycles.

And yes, we'll need the Precise Fabrication Suite for Advanced Components.

I'm thinking of the Mining Drone taking a Fabrication Drone along to refine the ore into basic stuff on site, and carrying the less bulky refined stuff back to the ship.

Chiefwaffles · « **Reply #94 on:** November 21, 2016, 07:57:47 pm »

The Fabrication Drone is really just mislabeled at this point, because the name was taken from Overseer AI where it could actually fabricate items. Repair drone = basic hull-type repairs. Fabrication drone = (relatively) advanced repairs. The current advanced or regular fabrication drone schematic can't actually fabricate items.
EDIT: Fixed error in cycle report. Repair Drone finished surveying, not repairing.

You can start research tasks immediately after some processing units are freed. So if a cycle lists a task with 1 cycle to go, you can just treat the processing units as if they're unused in your actions.
"[3] ... ETC: 1 processing cycle" is essentially the same as having [3] available for your actions.
Minor format change taking effect: Fabrication Modules will be number-based instead of quantity-based. So "[2]" means "Fabrication Module #2", not "2x Fabrication Modules". Overall, it doesn't particularly matter as the number of fabrication modules available is the only relevant piece of information.

>Query: Estimate round trip time to asteroids.
[NAVIGATION] Asteroids listed by Survey Sensors are within immediate surroundings of ship and travel time is not a factor in interactions with asteroids.

I do not see any reason to not do some minor repairs on the hyperdrive.

>Fabrication drone 01> Run System Repair on Hyperjump Drive

Looks like we can get at most 5 advanced metal from the nearby asteroids, we should at least grab that exotic ore before moving on.

We can't refine it yet, so save everything.

Why asteroid 1? It's just a lump of the metal also present on both the others, we should start by the 2 for its exotic ore (and hydrogen) then move on to 3 for silicon. Even that will take quite a while, I'm considering the need for a second mining droid.

build mining drone 2

I'm against making another drone until we know how much material is needed for the refinery suit. If you want to sent it to a richer rock, go ahead, but metal in general was running low. We have sufficient electrical power currently, so if the hydrogen is being used for reactor power, it likely will just be stored for now. Also, I think it's pretty reasonable to assume we're gonna strip everything and use them or store them. Something else is going to explode I bet.
