our own sci fi game

[alti]

Idea is simple enough, we start with a small settlement craft and you suggest things that we could build to add to the settlement and survive on this cratered moon. once you suggest something i concept it and place it on the map. you can see a previous game on my sketchbook page 10

1 suggestion at a time we build up a colony.

Things to consider
-starting resources minimal
-we have a small building bot
-our small craft has on board a small fabricator unit that can create additional fuel and basic tools.
-we have a temporary inflatable oxygen tent on board the landing craft
-we can request additional schematics or personal via fleet command communications network.
- we have on board
1 very skilled structural engineer
1 botanist/bio expert
1 field medic
1 robotics engineer

[newman]

strippers.

[LORD M]

"A frickin' moon laser."

[alti]

strippers suffocate in the zero oxygen atmosphere
not enough resourses tools or tecknology for moon laser

[LORD M]

Ah damn. What about some research facility? And I am shocked there's no geologist on board of the expedition considering the fascinting geology of the moon.

[alti]

Geologist dispatched via bio pod from nearby fleet ship eta 0600

[breistift]

If there's enough water and seeds on board I suggest building a little greenhouse for the botanist. The plants will produce oxygen and food.
I like this idea btw

[alti]

*small greenhouse schematics reveived via fleet linkup
*fabricator begining basic component construction on greenhouse segments.
*Geologist arrival in 2 hours

[crossmirage]

Is it possible to make something out of the minerals on the moon? Could use some building materials and whatnot. We'll need some entertainment for the crew too in case they get bored.

[alti]

crossmirage > * requesting additional personal is possible via fleet example

** request 1 mineral survey team

[Sepulverture]

We need IT professionals to maintain our fleet uplink and research better transmission protocols and technology.

[Brendan N]

Begin

var

request: String; //string for specific request
atmos: Boolean; //binary function for whether the moon has an existing atmosphere or not
gravatmos: Boolean; //binary function for whether the moon has enough gravity to sustain an atmosphere
habit: Boolean; //binary function for whether moon is habitable

habit = false;

Repeat
if (atmos = true) then
request = "1 metric tonne of self replicating methane-chewing oxygen-spewing genetically engineered microbials";

else if (atmos = false) and (gravatmos=true) then
request = "the establishment of a industrial complex to release gasses into the air, creating an atmosphere and normalizing temperatures on the planet";

until habit = true;

If (allelsefails = true) then
request = terminate mission and fuck off from this rock.

end;

[alti]

** existing atmosphere thin methane atmosphere trace co2
** Small atrium construction complete
** seed nursery added to atrium
** small botany/bio lab added to atrium
** food stocks planted in atrium
** Geologist bio pod lands at base
** Geologist begins basic survey of surrounding base area : finds small amounts of ice at peak of creator rim to the east of base.
**Geologist finds small deposits of iorn in surrounding hills.
**methane-consuming oxygen producing research begun with botanist at small research lab: needs additional equipment and team to begin research in full.

[Mordus]

Requesting a case of chilled cola.
God I love cola.

[tobbA]

Would be cool with a moon car for exploration

[Black Spot]

Desalination plant requested, with added flavours optional.

Oxygenated cave required for recreational purposes.

[Smashed_Pumpkin]

How about some solar panels to boost our energy supply.

[alti]

** structural engineer begins drawing up plans for an Oxygenated cave, requires some excavation.
** excavation equipment requested via fleet
** enhanced Fleet connection requested and approved, Hub module being dispatched via fleet command vessel arriving at 0800
** IT teck specialist request granted, dispatched via bio pod from fleet command, arrival time 3 days.
**moon rover schematics revived via fleet uplink, components being fabricated at base.

[alti]

** solar panel schematics requested and approved from fleet command, fabrication being completed at base. Robotics engineer and structural engineer being tasked with the assembly.

[alti]

** moon rover completed
** excavation equipment added to moon rover can act as basic digging unit.
** fleet Hub module enroute 1 day away
** Oxygenated cave construction begins
** IT teck specialist enroute 1 day away
** Solar pannel construction complete, fabrication unit on landing craft is now 9% faster.
** added power to atrium allows for faster growing in hydroponic units, food stockpile growing, Base can request additional personel.

[Jason Rainville]

You must construct additional pylons.

[Flashback]

Sir, We need proper sewage!

[Jason Rainville]

Sir, We need proper sewage!

Probably all recycled as it is

I'd suggest the creation of a basic construction bay to aid in the speed and scope of construction projects, possibly another dedicated engineer as well.

[alti]

** Oxygenated cave construction completed
** IT teck specialist arrived via bio pod
** Basic construction bay schematics requested via fleet command
** Basic construction bay schematics approved, fabrication begins on structural materials
** Fleet hub module arrival scheduled for 0800 hours
** Dedicated engineer team requested
** Dedicated engineer team dispatched via drop ship from fleet engineering guild arrival in days.

** First atrium crops being harvested and added to food stockpile.
** Geologist surveying possible large ice deposits to east of base inside crater.

Doesn't a mission like this require a clear goal?

What's the purpose of this settlement? Merely, creating additional, habitable land? For who? The wealthy? Career astronauts? Prisoners?

Or is there a greater purpose? Maybe it's doing low gravity research. Maybe it's testing the tech needed for a larger settlement operation farther away. Maybe it's a beacon - like an intergalactic light house? Or it's exploring the moon surface for mining? Or it's a set up from the damn Company, to let the people be guinea pigs for alien infestation...

At any rate, the moon has no atmosphere, so it's like 500 Farenheit in the sun. This settlement needs to go underground, and the most important part will be getting the food to grow. Considering there's no atmosphere to convert into oxygen, I suppose you'd need to bring some really big gas containers to hold a supply. And you'll need regular shipments to bring more and more gases to the base.

[alti]

** Basic construction bay completed
** Dedicated engineering team landing in dropship
** base acquires dropship schematics
** Large gas containment canister schematics requested from fleet
** Large gas containment canisters approved for construction.

[alti]

** Large gas containment canister complete
** dedicated engineering team of 4 arrived in drop ship
** oxygen stockpileing in large containment canister

[Black Spot]

Sir, We need proper sewage!

That's recycled in the desalination plant. Also is used in the garden pod.

[Flashback]

You'll also need a way to protect from Solar radiation, and Solar flares.

[Smashed_Pumpkin]

Lets boost our communications with an antenna array.
