The Farms or the Mines? We need 6 Farms and 2 Mines. We didn't bring that many.

We have half of them already packed and we will not be building them all at once dude. There is time and the next shipment from GDI before we reach the point where we need them to be at the max.

Am I interpreting this incorrectly then?

We have 3 farms, all setup, the only thing we have packed is 1 mine and 1 refinery (which takes 2 power and space). We can order/build more farms with mats or selling ore

Could have sworn they said packed last time I saw them. But again why are you doing the housing right now when we don't need it. It isn't like the next wave is going to come with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They will come with more supplies and infrastructure for the colony and it is very likely that will include another housing complex. And the space we have would be better served as something else. If we have to build a housing complex building it here at the valley is a bad idea instead it should be at the outpost where there is both room and it will have better food production.
Yes you are by the end of those turns we need to have them done so the barracks need to be done after two turns pass and the rest after 3 turns pass.

The turn post has 3 farms not packed and the space used matches with those being unpacked. I am doing housing now because next turn we unpack the refinery and that plus other building puts us to the point the house will need to be below ground and we have been told below ground is more expensive. Most likely the next wave will come with whatever we buy at the end of turn 2
So next turn:
Unpack Mine at Silver or better spot depending on prospecting
Unpack Refinery below ground
Build Warehouse (to store refined goods for trade) 500 M + Subterranean costs
Build Mine (if we find a good spot) 500 M
- Location
- Back in Cali
Again if we need to build housing it will not be at the valley as that would be a waste of space instead it will be at the outpost we need to setup anyway. And without a surveyor, we can't build that outpost.

Add more actions and let us make a decanted farming area.

It is the only way to do the outpost without we are stuck underground and spending more to build things.

We'll have used up our Construction Materials in two turns. What do we need more actions for?
I just find it weird that Engineers and MCVs can't move.

Because they are busy in their area dude the outpost will be at either the lake or the coast sending something there means it stays there as it is too far to move thing like the MCV and the Engineers would have to walk. There is a reason it straight up says the surveyors are meant to set-up outposts.

It's more about the logistics. We landed at our site and rapidly established logistics here and fully scouted out the local area. The ship that brought us here is not available to help and the other sites do not have the needed logistic networks. That's why we need to make a surveyor.

I thought this was just about putting some construction in the next valley over.
If it is not about putting stuff in the next valley over, then we might be in a bit of trouble, as I don't see how we can afford to construct both a Surveyor and a Housing Complex at the new site. We'll have Farms, but nobody to work them.

I forgot to mention. The GST that brought you here will be going back to GDI space to do their regular job of cargo hauling. By Turn 3 you can also buy more buildings or Construction Materials by bartering your resources too. I'll also calculate Mission Objectives by the Result, so after the Colonists wave arrived and everything is sorted, then I'll count the mission objectives.
