Chapter 8 by Nemo of Utopia Nemo of Utopia

* Are There Any Serious Problems During The First Week? *

* Nope, All According To Plan. *

You've tested and retested these programs and the copying process, so while there is some element of unpredictability, it's not anything you can't deal with. The rest of the Orion Bots get down to brass tacks and start organizing themselves to provide the resources your colony needs: clearing land for farming, opening up mines, trying to kick the colony's industrial and scientific capacity into life: it's a very busy first few weeks.

However, before we get to that sort of thing, there are a few other details to cover...


1: What's your Home System looking like?
2: How much difficulty do you have recommissioning the old infrastructure?
3: Do any of your newly awakened Orion Bots 'remember' any technical secrets that will give you an edge?
4: How much-stockpiled resources do you have right now?
5: What is your first set of production orders?*
*(Your present options are† "Stockpile Resources" (Generates Increased 'Basic Credit' Reserves), "Construct Housing" (Production Generates Aditional Population), "Train Spy" (Trains a 'Spy' unit that can be used either to covertly sabotage your rivals' infrastructure, steal their technical secrets, or defend against such attacks and thefts by your enemies once you have met them. Maintaining a spy network costs 1 Basic Credit per-spy-unit each turn), and, (if your system has other planets,) "Build Colony Base", (which could establish a colony on another habitable‡ planet in your system)...
†(Footnote 1: Depending on the answers to the other questions you might have additional options, so leaving this one as 'Undecided' is perfectly acceptable!)
‡(Footnote 2: until you have researched "Cold Fusion" you cannot build "Freighters", making establishing a colony on any world where farming is not possible insanely foolish as your citizens would starve to the point that their nano-colonies would go rogue and turn into 'gray goo' before finally dying off...)

* Answer The Questions In Italics Above... (Copy/Paste Is Helpful With This Task, As They Won't Be Visible On The 'New Chapter' Page.) *
