Told you we needed a machete  :P

Anyway, back on topic.
Climb onto the housing module to the left. After we are up and firing, order the clones to concentrate fire on the large group attacking the fence. Hopefully the lasers are powerful enough to overpenetrate.

This. It doesn't look like those lobster wolves can climb. Order all doors that the civilians are in to be
shut.

Then all who are fighting shall climb on the most stable structure and rain fire from above. Order one of the shooters (basic clone w/ laser preferably) to make noise to attract the wolves just in case they may attack our modules.

Maybe we should have made some ladders or something like that earlier. Oh well, more things to do once we deal with the lobster wolf problem.

I think we could sell these dead specimens to other colonies for research, so save three of them for later.

We have to kill them, first. And we should reserve some to shove into the cloning vats.

Unless decomposition isn't a problem here we would need to preserve the bodies because we don't know where the nearest other colony is, and if it is too close to us then they would have a lobster wolf population of their own to use as specimens.

Also the corpses may attract other lobster wolves which makes it rather problematic.

If we manage to get the first wave out, then suggesting some guard the perimeter while some of the civilians (worker maybe?) go and signal the other colonies?

Afterwards, produce 4 armed clones with combat training so they can dual wield rifles accurately like a boss. Hmm... The limp one is not dead? We can domesticate it and have it work in the mines.

Turn 38 - 43
(Combat Turn 3)
Colony:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You order one of the basic clones inside to go get a fence section and lie it against the accomodation module for use as a makeshift ladder.

Some of the smaller wolves can now fit through the fence!

You and the other armed clones concentrate fire on on of the wolves that got in. And thanks to some luck you all manage to hit roughly the same spot on it's head and the beam goes straight through killing the wolf and even hitting the wolf behind it for some bonus damage. Unfortunately the worker clone's inexpirience caused him to miss and hit the other wolf.

One of the injured wolves flees.

Keep up focused fire, splitting to individual fire if the wolves spread out. Can we set the lasers to pulse fire, as in, more heat less cutting? If we set them on !!fire!! they should be less of a threat.

I agree. It is possible that flames would scare/disperse the group of attacking bear-like creatures. Maybe even setting the fence on fire. Though I don't know what its made of. But I can't imagine a wild animal continuing to attack a flaming fence. If their hides are thick and inflammable we might be able to generate smoke amidst them as to simulate a wildfire situation, possibly causing them to attempt to relocate, by aiming at debris below them.

This is why we should get another cloning module, and a cryogenic module, to freeze emergency warriors for a time of need.

It's raining. Nothing is going to burn very well. Stick to the normal lasers. And continue the focus fire tactic. but as soon as that clone gets the fence into position as a ladder have the armed personel climb onto the roof the have the worker remove the fence section and place it against the door of the other housing module. (the one without people on it's roof) as a barricade. THen the worker should take one of the lumber tools and go chainsaw massacre on the wolf-lobsters

In the future, is it possible to make petrol or some other flammable substance (like Greek fire) that we can throw and light aflame, even in the rain? seems like it would be effective against these creatures. napalm them. Also, how thick are their hides? High caliber bullets might be more effective against them if the lasers aren't doing much. If not that, then we should try our hand at crossbow manufacture. Bolts can really pack a punch, especially at a distance where lasers diffuse.
