Make a radar tower. Let's get a lay of the land.

Current metal stores sufficient, estimated remaining after construction: M1
...
Energy Stores insufficient, however local fauna should be enough to provide the short term energy needed to complete structure.

continue?

What kind of fauna is it?

C:\>format c:

trees.
(derp, flora technically.)

Oh. Then yes, by all means use the trees for energy so we can get some better environmental info.

Are rocks available to replenish metal supplies after construction? If so go ahead, especially since the tower should be able to act as a weak energy source when idling.

Radar Tower Complete

you are currently in the middle of a (forested) Crater roughly 3 miles in diameter, there is a Mountain range to your east extending north and south beyond radar range. No contacts on the radar.

WARNING!! Low Energy
Warning!! Low Metal

Build a metal extractor.

Are there metal-recoverable rocks around?
Mineable veins?

Do all blueprints seem to be intact?

most blueprints are indeed intact, however most aquatic plans are bad, and the files for storage systems are slightly corrupt, but repairable.

action?

>>107829

Construct Solar Generator x2. Reclaim local minerals as needed.
Locate Patch of Metal and Create additional metal extractor. Reclaim minerals or plants as needed.
Create vehicle construction facility.
Set Facility to constant production of 'Flash' light assault tanks.
Reclaim minerals and foliage to assist resource load of construction.
Flash Rush kekekekekekekeke

Flash tanks do make good scouts, and if there are no allies in range it'll be time to bite the bullet and sink the time and resources into a factory eventually, so the sooner the better.

How about wind speed? wind generators are cheap and if its a high wind speed area they are good early on.

***INCOMING TRANSMISSION***
bears ARM encryption patterns. Receiving it will most likely alert any local forces to our (meager) presence (we aren't the Commander after all). Receive now or Defer?

>>107839
Receive it, but begin constructing a Light Laser Tower while doing so.

(static/decryption noise) Unit 337BR-5, this is an automated response prepared in the eventuality that the experiment would be successful. Our technicians believe they have devised a way to disconnect a galactic gate from the chain, and "aim" it at a desired planet; your survival means they have succeeded. However, you are now stranded, your location should be somewhere within the CORE space, near the edges of their conventional expansion. Your mission is to adapt ARM technology to survive missions of this sort, gain control of the planet and report back to the Commander when your task is complete. Several of your corneal inhibitors are now being de-activated; you will now be able to command ARM units, and modify existing blueprints. You are on your own now; good luck Sub-Commander (end Transmission)

Back to the second extractor and factory. If we get spotted we might end up with half a planet's standing army on our ass.

>>107842

We don't have the energy reserves for an LLT. A factory and some flashes is a much better investment of time. It will take less time to produce several flashes than a single LLT, and they'll be mobile; furthermore we can set about reclaiming and building further infrastructure as the flashes are constructing.

>>107849
Build two more Metal Extractors, another Solar Generator, and then a Land factory. Pop out another construction vehicle and 5 Flash. Have the second construction vehicle start building more metal extractors and solar generators. Two of each, for starters.

Enemy contacts on radar, likely to be scouts based off of movement speeds. not airborne. action?

Keep working on the lab. We need tanks asap.

Construction Complete. LLT engaged with 2 Instigators. LLT currently at 90%. action?

>>107891
Build a flash, assist the factory. We need to be able to chase them.

By the time you and the factory have finished the Flash, the LLT is at about 50%health, but has blasted off the rear half of one of the instigators. The other one turns to retreat.
I'm gonna turn in for the night, probably gonna be back sometime tomorrow if your still interested then.

>>107899
make one ligth scout. use it to diverge attention from the turrent.

Total Annihilation? FUCK YEAH. ARM? Damn, well gotta go what with you've got I suppose. Okay so we need to determine what the environemtn is, see which type of power generator (Solar, Wind, or Tidal) would be most efficient/effective. I generally prefer standard Kbots to Vehicles, but whatever. Still, let's get a Light Laser Tower or two around our intended permiter to delay enemy scouts before we get full production up and running.

>>107899

Have the Flash engage the retreating Instigator. We may be far enough from CORE forces to be out of a light unit's communication range, so we don't want it crying home to momma.

In the mean time, get another construction vehicle and a Jeffy or two running. We'll need more fortification in case more company arrives, and we need to see what exactly is around us. Repair LLT.
