- | ==== Packing for the Trip==== | ||
- | |||
- | So, Commander, you've got the money, the weight restrictions, | ||
- | |||
- | Certain items will automatically be included. You must, for example, take 100 colonists. At the point when you begin packing additional material and personnel, you will have 172 remaining funds, and a remaining weight maximum of 78 units. The following chart will list certain facts about packing which you should take into consideration. | ||
- | |||
- | ^ Cargo ^ Weight ^ Cost ^ Advantages of Cargo ^ | ||
- | | //Colonists (50)// | 1 | 1 | Colonists will man factories, etc. upon arrival. | | ||
- | | //Food// | 1 | 1 | One unit will feed 10 colonists while the agricultural dome is being built. | | ||
- | | //Life Support// | 1 | 3 | Used in emergencies. Will keep colonists alive if the unexpected occurs. | | ||
- | | //Colonist Lander// | 9 | 16 | One lander will transport 50 colonists, one way, to the new planet. | | ||
- | | //Cargo Lander// | 10 | 17 | One lander will transport a cargo-weight value of 20, one way, to the new planet. | | ||
- | | //Seed Factory// | 10 | 18 | Provides basic power, robots, resource processing facilities, and temporary residence. | | ||
- | | //Tokamak Reactor// | 10 | 20 | Provides most power needs on most planets. | | ||
- | | //Solar Power Satellite// | 8 | 15 | On certain planets, will provide clean, safe, reliable energy. | | ||
- | | //Solar Receiver Array// | 5 | 10 | Two are required to make a solar satellite function. | | ||
- | | // | ||
- | | //Weather Satellite// | 4 | 12 | Collects data on local weather, including warnings of major meteorological events. | | ||
- | | // | ||
- | | // | ||
- | | //Orbital Observer// | 6 | 13 | Provides visual study of the planet from orbit. | | ||
- | | //ULBI Probe// | 0 | 14 | Provides high-quality data about your target star system. | | ||

- | ==== Probes and Satellites ==== | ||
- | |||
- | In choosing which probes and satellites to pack, you should give careful consideration to the types of data you’ll need to make intelligent decisions on your new planet. The starship itself can provide enough basic survey data about topography, chemistry, and geology for your AI to determine the best possible landing site. Satellites and probes provide more information than the starship can, however, and will enable you to make an even more informed decision as to the landing site. Additionally, | ||
- | |||
- | If you have packed ULBI probes, data will begin arriving while you are between Jupiter and your star system of choice. These data will provide information about specific planets within the star system. Since you can’t change your mind if you drop down to a planet and decide it looked more hospitable from orbit, you’ll need to make the right decision the first time about which planet to colonize. ULBI data can be very helpful. | ||
