Can the OWL drone go into space? Like orbit a planet and come back on it's own? If so build shipyard and giant OWL drone with bigger guns then the normal one.

No he can't, not on his own. After all, it needed a magrail to leave the moon's surface, I don't know what it'd need to fight the planet's gravity.

Mmmmmmh, I don't know, but sending something in orbit, not to speak of all the raw material needed is really tricky with a magrail. I don't want to loose owl, and we can always build a specialized drone for that.

NEW BLUEPRINT

Space Builder: Based on a soldier drone, this space-faring drone trade weapons for tool and added spacefaring abilities. He still cannot exit orbit on his own tough.

I'm talking about making a robot 10x bigger then owl. Well it's a owl just 10x bigger. The only reason I want this is so we can go into orbit and back down whenever we want.

Making it 10 time bigger will make it need ten time as much energy. I suggest we build a shipyard in orbit (but after the whole building the economy stuff) so we can build real spaceship. Also, a space fountain would be cool for accessing the orbit.

Hmmm... make it 5x bigger instead. How much stuff would it cost?

Well, if you mean 5 time heavier, 5 time as much. Else, 5*5*5 times as much.

5 times height and width. So it would be 5*5*5 as you said.

First of all we need massive ore production. And power. Then we need to survive the NONs BLOBS atack. Then we can worry about our collective fetishism for mecha.

Demonic spoon, are the ressources located? I mean, are they assumed to be in one base and only that base can use them, or can we use them anywhere? Can we also have a screen stating how much ore we're producing/consuming? I know it's a lot of work, but yours is one of the best RTD/wathever here, and I'm sure you can do it.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here. Each planet/moon's resource deposits and stored resources are independent and can only be used there. The same with each of the cnotinents on attica. You can use containers and magrails etc. to transport resources between different bases. Currently we sill need to scan for resources on continents 1 and 3 as well as on pandora.

I'll show resource consumption in future. Current Resouce production:

Ionia:

600 iron / turn
300 copper / turn
300 gold / turn

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.
