I second AI Athena

As do I. I also propose calling our droids Owls.

[Tylui]

Gold can make good electrical contacts too, though it might be difficult for proper circuit and wire creation.

Name the AI Athena.

You can't make semiconductors out of gold. You'll either need silicon, germanium or carbon for that and a bunch of dopants.

You can't make semiconductors out of just copper either. But that's not what I was saying.

EDIT: I like naming them Owls. Good idea.

[Demonic Spoon]

By the way, he is not storing the iron. He's letting it lie there when he is done processing it into a usable form.

Turn 6: Mining Continued

Dice Roll : 9

You manage to gather 900 units of iron. You now have enough iron.

Turn 7: Search for copper.

Having gathered enough iron you decide to now search for some copper.

Dice Roll: 3

You fail to find any copper. You wonder if the satellite might be able to do a intensive scan in your area for copper.

(I'm using random.org)

Copper suffices for circuits though gold works as well. The copper in the drone factory can be replaced with copper, would probaby give a efficieny bonus. You can make a automated mining facility on a vein to automatically gaina set amount of resources per turn. Mining Facilities ost 500 iron and 100 copper/gold.

Solar panels can be made to power facilities. One panel provides 100 units of power per day if constantly in sunlight. Higher levels of sunight (extreme etc.) means more power. Drone factory uses 100 power per turn, atomated minig facility 50 power per day. A solar panel requies 500 units of gold/copper and 200 units of iron.

You have decided. From now on you shall refer to yourself as Athena. Let the enemis of the great BLOB Empire tremble at the sound of your name. Your faithful drone you shall name Owl. Good names.

[Blackdutchie]

To keep with the trend, i propose we name the small moon Ionia and the planet Attica.
Proposed course of action:
AI: High intensity scan, elements, near drone location
Drone: Locate Copper, Mine copper.

[Tylui]

Actually I think we wanted to name ALL future drones "Owls". As in "LAUNCH ALL OWLS !! FOR GREAT JUSTICE !!" But that works for now.

If we construct any other AI on the moon, I vote we name him Thales.

[Demonic Spoon]

Turn 8: Naming and scanning oh my!

As you drift through the endless void names come to you. Yes! Of course! You shall name the moon Ionia and the planet Attica! You decide to perform a intensive scan of Ionia to locate copper and maybe even gold.(I'm gonna generalize things with copper and gold representing all circuitry materials.)

Power reserve at 40%

Dice Roll: 7

You locate a copper vein open to the surface near Owl. You order it to go there and start mining immediately.

Turn 9: Coppery Goodness.

Power Reserve at 80%

Having reached the copper vein the drone diligently starts mining away at the copper and processing it into a usable form.

Dice Roll: 10

You manage get 1000 units of copper.

You currently have:

1000 units of iron at the iron vein
1000 units of copper at the copper vein.

What do you do?

Advanced AI like the one in the satellite require very advanced faclities that will take a while to manufacture. Time better spent reparing the world for the BLOBS.

[Aklyon]

Construct DRONE FACTORY to start production of things.

[Demonic Spoon]

Contrucing a drone factory will take three turns. Confirm?

[Virex]

Wouldn't we need more power to power the droid factory? Anyway we can build solar panels after we finished it. Drone factory it is.


Besides that, Athena should conduct scans for favorable launch locations because we still need to get the drones to the surface of Attica.

[Tylui]

Yes, do eeet. We am need drones!

We should get the factory done; then go build the power supply. Once we have a second drone, we need him to start gathering materials all the time, with which we will be building more drones. Those subsequent drones can be used to get more materials, more energy, or more buildings(A la launch pads), or be sent to the surface of Attica.

Might I suggest a magnetic cannon or some sort of magnetic rail to propel the drones into SHPACE UNT BEYOND. The gravity should be light enough here, and we don't seem to have any explosive materials.

[Aklyon]

magrail cannon seconded.

[Blackdutchie]

No, the second drone shall build automated mines, while the first, after building the factory, shall build solar panels.
After we have a decent eco set up, we can start thinking of bigger plans.
The AI should probably map veins from the factory's location outward.

Magrail cannon thirded.

[Tylui]

Oooh, automated mines are a grand idea.

[Demonic Spoon]

Yes we would.

Turn 10: Buildings

Scan Attica to locate likely landing locations

Dice Roll: 9

INTELLIGENT LIFE SPOTTED ON ATTICA.

While I was scanning Attica for likely landing locations I noticed what seemed to be shelters dug into the ground. Intrigued I investigated. It seems that there is a species of intelligen herbivores on the planet. They look vaguely like bears, except for the giant tusks, extra pair of limbs, third eye and green hair. They live primarily on the second continent. It isuncertainwhat their level of technology s but I sspect it to be late stone age. I have spotted few to no fires in any of the settlements and due to the lack of ores on the second continent they are unliely to have progressed beyod this stage.

Three likely landing locations have been located, one on each continent. They area all in easily defensible positions near natural resources. The one on continent two is right in the middle of a settlement of the bearpeople.

Power Reserve: 30%

Drone starts construction of drone factory.

Actions?

Last post for now gonna go sleep now.

[Virex]

We need launch locations as well as landing locations
