How long will it take to finish the bunkers?

I think we should hold off on Steamcrawler relations.  Maybe after we build some goddamn space lasers, or at least finish outfitting the bunkers.

Continue with the construction of Project Alpha.
Set on researching and producing clean energy.
Make those combat/power suit prototype things.

Keep listening. Transmit all data back to colony as you begin to learn.

Do that.

Later we can use the power suits to possibly increase the amount of labour that can be done with the same amount of workers we have now.  And then we can hopefully fight off the Tremors better with power suits loaded to the brim with flamethrowers and lasers and other pretty burny and explodey things.

All we need to do is pick a side in their war, give them our crappy chain guns, and watch as they establish a one world government in our debt. It is nothing particularly risky or complicated.

[xtank5]

Do we even have a way to send them our guns?

[Weirdsound]

Hopefully we will be ready to attract traders at around the time the Probe has finished compiling their language. We would still need a turn or two after that to teach our diplomats the new tongue I think. If we don't have intersolar transport we will be able to get some by the time we are ready, I hope.

[xtank5]

I just don't want to get the general populace too excited yet.  With so many things going on at once, they may get a little stressed and flip out.  They may just want to focus on our own problems for now.  Heck, I just want to focus on our own problems now. 

Still need to get those power suits though.  Oh the places we will go with those power suits.

[Weirdsound]

Oh the places we will go with those power suits.

Indeed. Research a heavily armored ground transport. Might as well support our infantry.

[filiusenox]

((Sorry about that, my social life started to pick back up.))

The Probe learns the language. It will take a while, around 2.5  more days
((5 turns))

Spoiler: Shar'yar (click to show/hide)

It is night.

The research and industrial teams set up shop in the mining tool workshop and using various circuit boards and other items scavenged from the Citadel, they manage to make five power suits.((3/11))
A research team comes up with an antifungal spray, harmless to everything else.
The mine to the copper in the mountains is progressing along well.((7/11))
Problems have arose with Luki’Tune’s followers, they protest the Ghants, by stopping work on whatever they were doing.((7/10))
The Anti-Ghant Political party forms.
The Ghants go out and gathers berries for wine making.((8/10))
They leave the wine to brew in a still they made.
That’s strange, they seemed to have reproduced, beacuse now pups follow a few Ghants around.
A few workers set up a factory for the making of power suits. But it will take 1.5 days due to not having any preassembled kits((9/10)).
Most of your people eat.((10/10))(-10 food.)

Lori’ca, She'ish, and three others try out the power suits. They are bit bulky to control and the HUD is laggy. But it allows the wearer to jump quite high and move objects a bit heavier then normal without much strain, they do not protect very good against Plasma-based weaponry but all right against small projectile arms fire.
5% increase in jumping.
5% increase in strength.
1% decrese in Plasma fire Sheilding.
10% increase in small projectile arms fire sheilding.

The bunkers will be finsihed in 20.5 days.((51 turns unless you use timeskip.))

What do you do?

[Weirdsound]

Timeskip 2.5 days. While fastforwarding...

Instruct Luki’Tune to have his followers express their opinions in a fashion that dose not involve stopping work. Make it very clear that those who do not work, will not eat.

Keep listening in on the satellite for potential trade opportunities.

Continue mining and processing iron. Make lots of weapons and ammo to serve as trade goods.

Break up any anti-ghant strikes with your new power suits.

Ask the soldiers that survived the jungle with you what they think of Luki'Tune. Take down the names of those who hate him.

Found the Shar'yar Nationalist Party with a platform of military supremacy, racial diversity, and Loyalty to President Tye.

Keep on learning the language!

((sorry about the inconstancies.))
The Probe has learned the language. It is series of hisses and spits.

Spoiler: Shar'yar (click to show/hide)

It is...Er...It is night...Right?
Tye issues an edict declaring that if you don't work you don't eat. Luki'Tune's party grudgingly gets back to work.
Nothing important occurs on the Reretia channels.
You tell your people to spend the time mining and processing iron.((25/55))(+50 iron.)
You make thousand crummy chainguns each with two hundred shots.(-20 iron)((30/55))
The Clarokians finish the Power suit factory.((32/55))
Some of your people sleep.((40/55))
The copper mine is finished ((45/55))
The Clarokians manage to mine two units of copper.((53/55))(+2 copper)
Some of the Clarokians take dinner breaks((55/55))(-20 food)
No anti-Ghant strikes occur after Tye's Edict. Although there is some mumbling.
Most of the troops dislike Luki’Tune.
Lor’ica founds the SNP with a platform of military supremacy, racial diversity, and Loyalty to President Tye. Four hundred Clarokians join up in the first day as well as all of the Ghants.

What do you do?

[xtank5]

Can we send 3 power-suits to speed the construction of Project Alpha?
Send the other 2 power-suits to assist/protect a mining party to harvest the malachite veins in the south.
Place an order for 5 more power-suits.
Re-send a drone to search for the uranium deposit.
If our engineers can, develop conventional VTOL aircraft (like helicopters, Ospreys, the helis from Avatar, or the huge gunship from Avatar) that run using turbines or conventional engines. (We only need the blueprints, we don't need to produce them yet, and we should have some meant for cargo so we can rapidly insert/evac power-suits and troops.)

Using the trench that delivers us water, set up a fuel plant that splits water into H2 and O2 and then compresses and stores it.  We should also build storage and delivery facilities.
Develop high-efficiency hydrogen turbines/engines.
Produce a stockpile of the anti-fungal spray.  Preferably in the form of artillery shells or grenades.

Transcribe conversations between the natives.

Please do this over 2 turns.

[Weirdsound]

Focus on gathering and harvesting the crop
Keep listening for further transmissions on the satellite

Lead an exploration team of soldiers, biologists and Ghant on a short survey of the local flora and fauna that lives outside the jungle.
Listen in and try to understand the nature of the factions in the steamcrawler war.

[filiusenox]

Wow, what luck, a captain decides to give a speech concerning the war.
"My fellows, we must not falter, this war is to advance to glory and power of our great nation of {Roughtranslation:Tallroof}, our emperor has decreed that this state mars the great name of our forefathers. We must not forget our blood allegiance to the emperor, the one who will lead us to glorious peace."
Its obviously a large country devouring a smaller one under a guise of blood oaths and some religious charade.

[ Project alpha was suspended, restart?  {Needs more then one vote.}
You give some of the miners power suits. The copper mining goes well((4/11))(+2 copper)
You launch a probe and figure out that the Uranium vein to the east of the mountains.((4/11))
You begin work on the hydrogen plant, it will take a lot of work and a lot of time. But some researchers come up with the plans.{Needs more then one vote.}
You require (5 chemicals) and a small chemical plant to make fungal spray. Sorry.
The Ghants and the Clarokians harvest the greenhouses. The soil is out of nutrients however and will require some time before they return to half capacity.((10/11))(+75 food)
The miners mine some hematite and smelt it((11/11))

Lor'ica decides to lead a small team of biologists, Ghants, and soldiers on an exploration. They take hundreds of pictures and classify many plant and small animals.
What Lor'ica find however is lot more interesting.
Sunning itself on a beach is a giant crayfish. Lor’ica puts a few (read hundred) bullets into it and then recovers the body. Him and his men butcher it and then drag the meat and shell back to the citadel.(+100 food)(+ 25 units of crayfish shell)
Lor’ica is hailed as a great hunter and people stop wanting to go swimming.

[xtank5]

Awww, no hydrogen plant?  Damn.
Any word on the engineers designing those H2 engines or turbines?

Build a swimming pool.
Figure out which animals we can breed for food.
Continue mining copper and try to get some silicon if we can.

Build a boat.
Build a bigger boat.
With harpoon guns.
Start fishing.

Build a small-scale composter, we only need to make enough for our greenhouses.  Also, crop-rotation the next time around.

Find enemy camp and listen in.

Next turn: Tremor sensors.  Lots of them.
