I was just plain ignorant and didn't read the end of the situations, I thought I read something at the start that said something like 'up to 3 actions, because some actions can take longer then others.' I really don't mean to make it harder on you, (with 4 actions, I totally understand.)

Yeah, just the turn time should be good. Thankfully, unlike normal RTD's, repetitiveness is not discouraged (turn-wise, but time-wise repetitive actions will wear down the morale).

So, I think we have everyone except... Squeegy. I guess the worst part of this game will be the unbearably slow pace for something this interesting.

Btw, our host forgot the final, most improbable, most far-fetched and far-away outcome scenario - Terraform Mars and live happily ever after.

I shall be in the cause too!

On a side note, will we use solar-powered robots to be our helper?

From what I gathered, I have the only sources of solar power here. I think everything but the drones runs on stored electricity. Maybe the small rovers, too.

We don't have ICE's here I think. And either way, both oxygen and plants are too valuable here to just burn them. If anything, we could always (well assuming we do survive) set up windmill-powered accumulator banks that recharge every time a sandstorm hits.

I think I saw the makings of a nuclear reactor.

We need lots of water for one to work though. And I forget, do we have nuclear physicists among survivors?

 We have plenty of nuclear engineers, but I think they are mostly for maintaining an already working reactor.

 My characters ultimate plan is to find a giant stone face on the surface and enter it.

The logistical problems dealing with a private space colony are at least as bad as dealing with the zombies.

 I did consider naming my character Woodrow "Woody" Blake, but I figured it would be best to use a character based on a character played by Bruce Willis. The only thing that can possibly kill my character now is a heroic sacrifice. Considering that he is the 'miner' of the group, he won't be around many people to heroically save.

 But yes, like every space move with questionable physics and hopefully Bruce Willis in it.

My long-term plan is to continue the original mission: establish a colony. So what if the spaceship exploded? You think that's going to stop me?
My middle-term goal is to get these recyclers working and find out if there where other survivors. As necessary, supply air and water.
My short term goal is to survive the next 24 hours sane. No matter what the oysters have to say about it!
