I didn't mean a terraforming ship, I mean a terraforming installation. As in, on the ground, burning coal and so and so.

Start building a power grid around, above, or beneath the buildings. Whichever is more time-efficient. When done connect to the ship's power source.
Start building a close range Anti-Air gun by modifying 4 chainguns to fire AP rounds and connect them to a turret. Make sure the gun can also angle towards the ground if needed. Just in case. You never know when some asshole pirates might attack from the air. Also, the secondary ability for the gun to fire at the ground may come in handy.

Any nearby beaches or other sources of silicon for glass? Or do we have that covered already.

[Taricus]

Start building a power grid beneath the buildings. When done connect to the ship's power source.

Investigate battle

Gather sand, make glass.
Perform a more thorough study of the Tremor corpses.

I agree.

You think about it. But just aren't feeling up to it.

It is day, it is raining.
The nearest beach is pretty far away.

Most of your people and the ghants sleep.
But you manage to hookup regular electric ((1/4)).
You place four newly made turrets around the encampment((4/4)).

Its freaking raining so no one wants to go with Lori'ca
You have lost one iron(3).
You have lost 16 weaponary(176)

You have gained four chaingun turrets.

So what do you want to do?

[Weirdsound]

Avoid the battle but try and locate one of the camps from which the soldiers are coming from. Survey from a distance.

Order armed ground transport suitable for jungle travel be created from the old one way landers. Once it is completed or the rain lets up commence biological survey of the jungle. Ask She'ish to recomend 12 soldiers to be trained to operate the turrets.

Assign a Ghant to the military/research team, to keep an eye out for plants that may be brew able into intresting concoctions. Have yourself or a close aid stay near the drone controls at all times, to make first contact should the drone be discovered. Have one unit of Iron made into inferior chainguns for trade to the fledgling civilization. Have another unit converted into fresh chaingun ammo.

Compile a quick list of all current resources and infrastructure and their capabilities.
Get our scientists ready to research the Tremors further than they already have.
Get our engineers to design a weapon system that sprays/deploys precise doses of herbicide.
Start gearing up for the production of ammunition and atmospheric vehicles. Preferably VTOL.


My reasoning for the VTOL aircraft is this:

Except with less innocent civvies and more hostile Viet Cong.
Also:

In the long term we should try to get a herbicide targeted to the tremors, assuming they are indeed plant based.  Judging by the history of the planet, they are and we will need to defend ourselves at some point.

The probe wanders a bit before stumbling upon a small encampment.The race seems to be Quadrupedial with a penchant for using their front feet to maniplalute items.
They are carrying Clubs and spears.
Someone is tinkering with what seems to be a steam cannon.

It is night. It is clear.

You use two units of iron to make some crummy chainguns and some crummier ammo((1/11)).
A few Ghants gather up some berries from nearby(read far from perimeter) and brew them up into something delicious! ((2/11)).
Most of your people busy themselves in the mines and smelters bringing in twelve smelted iron ((8/11)).
A few smarter Clarokians develop a plan for a Cryo-bomb.((9/11))
They also research the plants(read bottom of page.)((10/11))
The Clarokians also cement in the bottom of the citadel.((11/11))
 
You train some Clarokians on the cannons.
You also have Ghant who seems to want to follow you around and smells things that you point at.
You quickly arm a two way transports with a few Chainguns and a Bolt-Rifle.
But they cannot move out of the atmosphere.

You gain 5 trading materials.
You gain 12 iron.(14)
You lose two iron.(12)
You gain 50 crummy chainguns and some ammo for them.
You gain plans for a Cryo-bomb.

Twelve low level housing facilities
Two water-suppliers
Cement flooring.
Electric.
A wall around the encampment.
Citadel(Provides electricity, temporary housing, and government and military offices.)
Two greenhouses.

((Sorry im getting tired.))
(Basic carbon based plant forms. Bodies are adapted to be hard but they are supscitible to cold.They have iron-calcuim mixture which makes the claws sharp as knives.
They seem to have large fungal infections on the control centers of their brains.
They feed off of sunlight supplamented by occosion proteins.(I.E. meat)

What do you do?

[Tarran]

Set up all the rest of the greenhouse kits.
Start digging a water trench from the brook to all the way back to the colony under some amount of watch. Set up water purifiers at the end.
Use the hovership and scout the forest.

Agreed.
Observe the encampment from a distance.  Try to determine motives for war.

Can our remaining 2 way ship make it to the inhabited planet from the colony?

((aren't they at 1860-1900s tech level))

[filiusenox]

((Yes why? They just haven't discovered gunpowder? But they do have steam...))
((I'll post something in a minute i need to mess around with random.org and some stuff.))

[xtank5]

Maybe they're in the middle of WWIV? 

Edit: Dammit.  Ninja'd.

Wait until the fighting dies down and check out the battlefield. Scan/perform autopsy on one of the dead soldiers.

((seems a bit odd that they are using wood instead of steel though))
