[Demonic Spoon]

Cannot do that with a tier one factory. Tier 2 factory can construct 3 drones at a time.

[Tarran]

Scan for other planets in the system. We might as well make use of our filled power reserve. Plus, we might find something interesting.

[Sheb]

Set up mine everywhere on Ionia, send a basic drone to the Larger moon and start scanning it as much as you can.

Then build that probe and send it on continent 2.

[Demonic Spoon]

I thought we were gonna upgrade the factory first?

OOC: God, my right punky is going to be sore for the rest of the week. My typing skills don't understand what the left shift key is.

TRANSLATION FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH PSEUDO-LOGIC


Conduct the following Loop:

If the Override is off, run segment STANDARD MODE.

If the Override is on, run the DEFENSIVE MODE if possible, otherwise perform SPECIAL ORDERS.


STANDARD MODE

If idle and the number of drones is greater than the Drone Factory Level and/or Number of Mines*, improve the Factory Level.  If improper resources are in place, run IMPROVEMINE, else Improve the factory.
If the number of drones is less than the Drone Factory Level and/or Number of Mines, run MINE.
If not idle, perform orders.


MINE
If you have less iron than copper, mine iron.  If you have less copper than iron, mine copper.


IMPROVEMINE
If you need copper and you need iron, mine iron, else just mine copper.  If you don't need copper but you need iron, mine iron.  If you have enough of both, Improve the factory.



DEFENSIVE MODE

Not currently scripted, no defensive functions available at this time.


*Precise instructions not clear - was this a plus, a times or an and/or?  It seems you've specified a function without defining the function.  Program error in place.

[Demonic Spoon]

Thank you Iituem. I'm gonna have to say that's unnecessary antics. We currently have enough resources to upgrade the factory and it can be upraded only one more time.

[Demonic Spoon]

Turn 35: What's this?!

Scanning for other planets in the system:

It appears that there are three other planets in the system. One gas giant located farther away from the sun as Attica, one rocky planet somewhat smaller than Attica and located closer to he sun and one iceworld on the fringesof the solar system.

ATTENTION! MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM HOMEWORLD!

Presence of sentients on planet acknowledged. Preparation for colonization by BLOB EMPIRE takes highest priority. If possible keep local sentients alive but do not hesistate to obliterate them if necessary. The Support Ship Hope is on  supply run through your sector and should be approaching your system now if it is on schedule. May the BLOB be with you.

MESSAGE ENDS

[Tarran]

Hey, it looks like it may be possible in the long run to Blobform the large moon now now that we've got an ice world in the system. Plus, the 'giant likely has many moons ripe for the picking.

So, since we've still got plenty of energy, I say we scan the area around the gas giant more carefully for any notable moons. Who knows, we may find something interesting.

[Demonic Spoon]

Turn 36:

The time has come. You shall spread your children across the stars and they shall prosper. First your faithful Owl. Dutifully he climbs into the magrail. You adjust the aim, and fire.

And he's off! Racing toward the planet at record breaking speeds! Whatta guy!

Next, Basic Drone 2. But wait! It seems that the oter moon is on the other side of the planet! You'll have to wait a day or so beore you can fire him.

In the mean time he helps 1 to upgrade the factory.

Factory progress: 3/5

Factory started constructing a new drone.

You begin to prepare to start scanning the gas giant in search of moons when a swarm SPACE BATS suddenly appear!
