Ill clear up the scale, we are composed of nanometer scale components, our size is approximately 1μm? In that ballpark I would say. You just need a microscope to see us. If we were to tiny, building things with wheels and the mechanics of movement would be to complicated to actually run this game. So we are more like a microbe.. Yes bacteria will be able to hurt us.. though currently we seem to be in a mostly sterile area, other then the dust.. but I am not going to give any more hints, build sensors and stuff if you want to see your world better..

You feel a need for a specialized mining nanite and decide now is a good time to test out this new found ability. Quickly you activate it and after some time, many design ideas, simulations and drafts you come to a final version, a nanite with a counter rotating shell and a large bore with a recessed nano manipulator mounted on the front. It resembles a chain of helical gears, it is larger then a R-001 in length by quite a bit. The nanites begin collecting resources to assemble one. After a while you and the R-010s have the materials required, luckily with the small cpu of a mining specific nanite it requires half the amount of semi-conductor, but it requires more steel and carbon..
R-001
R-010 x2
Stacks of carbon sheets x5
Block of steel x2
Pile of Silicon (enough for 1 R-010 or 2 M-001)
Standing near steel edge cleared of dust
If you guys want a different naming system by all means suggest one. Also I wasn't sure if you wanted to build another nanite or some miners or whatnot, or design more stuff, just vote and post if you want to expand on it. Must say this is easily my favorite forum game I've done. Hopefully interest increases, we seem to have around 5 - 7 people returning. Also sorry for that messed up post if you read those broken paragraphs haha.
