No, it's not. It's necessary if the Tree Smelter that we currently have ever breaks down, or if we want to construct additional smelters.
Its a relatively quick simple to finish project aka a perfect secondary target to hit.
That and we are likely to want to put it into action pretty quickly as well.

Interesting clarification.
I should decide between Improved Tree Sap Processing and the Plasma Reactor Research. I see you went with the tree sap...
- Location
- That light in the sky with a decaying orbit.
Its quick with only a research cost of 100, and it lets us build replacement parts for one of the two complicated components to the sawmill. The other component is "Dandriss Grade Lumbermill Saw Design" which costs 400 research. The backup fusion reactor starts us on a longer term research path.
Yes. The way I see it, if we can harvest not just construction materials but also food from the trees, it will reduce our reliance on hydroponics. Which, in turn, means we'd require less power, machinery, and so on to feed our populace, freeing up those resources for our efforts to maintain our technological base as much as possible.
Harvesting trees is this world's idea of open-pit mining, except renewable. It's a quick and "easy" resource bonus.

Except that we already have a tree-smelter. We only need to research it to build more or repair existing ones.
I want us to be ready well before the equipment breaks, also if we have to do much building further away then we will need another one.

Frankly, I don't see much we can proactively do that will improve the situation with the 504 or the Dragonflies; letting them screw something up by being evil bastards should give us a proper opportunity to be more proactive down the road.

Air power will potentially be huge down the road, so we should take the opportunity while we can. Actionable intelligence is critical (as well as finding out what assets the Dragonflies and possibly the 504 have outside of Shattersaw), and we have no real reason not to up our count of proper soldiers.

Food is king. Regardless of what else happens, we will be screwed if we don't have enough of this, and in a position of strength if we have surplus to offer/trade down the road. Also, we should salvage what we can, while we can, as the return from this will only diminish over time.

Census is just a good thing to have, and while I like the idea of a general spy network, and investigating the 504, either of those could result in unnecessary diplomatic troubles right now. We're already on hostile terms with the Dragonflies though, so we don't really stand to lose anything by trying to scope them out some more.

While getting people to think of things as 'back to normal' is a good thing, being a single woman gives a lot of potential political options. I favor waiting a turn until we get some returns from our scouts heading down the tracks to check other settlements, to see if there's possibilities there.

This is basically Lord's Fire's list, trading improved sap for more emphasis on building materials. On this death world, being able to build is just as important as food for survival. Let's cue up the construction tech so we can install it ASAP.

Establishing the your directives for the year, you set out to begin the next round of training in preparation for the expeditions you are setting up. Despite calling them 'light' infantry, you actually find your newest trainees more valuable as garrison troops since they can used prepared fortifications where your regulars use their armour.
As all your infrastructural projects start coming together, you also start organizing the logistics of your exploration of the communities further down the line from Shattersaw, to try to find out what exactly has happened down there. The nearest location is Glenshade Manor, an administrative suburb of Shattersaw for the upper middle class. When the rail line had been working, it had been an easy hour long commute for anyone who couldn't just submit their work electronically, but now it was a grueling three week long hike. The van did make things significantly easier in that while its power cells didn't have the range to make it much more than a third of the way there and still get back, it did mean that a supply cache could be set up, reducing the amount of food that needed to be carried.
Finding yourself with a bit of a labour shortage, you find yourself bringing along mostly specialists. On the one hand, you won't be able to bring much stuff and the academics don't really like having to haul things, but it at least gives the ones without a full job something to do and if you find something interesting they will be there to help figure out what it is.
Reaching the station, you find no guards posted there, and in fact no signs of habitation. Moving in further, you find what appear to be barricades, no longer manned but shuttered from lack of personnel, a thin layer of dust starting to accumulate and what evidence of people having been here last showing that the left rather than entered. The whole area is quiet and dead.
Proceeding further, you find that the shopping centre around the train station has been radically remodeled, the planters full of Terran trees and bushes meant to liven the place up now turned into what appear to have once been attempts at garden plots and are now overgrown with a riot of useless decorative cultivars that have since died from insufficient watering. It looks like their original flowers became weeds.
Searching the dead settlement, you make a beeline for the community centre, and quickly enough find what is left of the population, which is to say their bodies. The last of them seem to have succumb to violence, their skeletons showing signs of violence, but the vast majority of the bodies are gathered in great communal rooms. Rather grimly, your academics point out that the majority of the thousands of skeletons found show signs of tool marks. They were eating each other.
A grim reminder of how quickly things fall apart without a study supply of food.
Further exploration of the 'cooking area' finds something rather curious that it takes your academics the rest of the day to figure out before they give you an explanation: these people had also been attempting to extract edible food from the trees, but their attempts at purification served to concentrate the heavy metals in the local biology. Worse yet, from the signs of things they probably turned to cannibalism early due to the neurological issues associated with what they were eating making them considerably more violent and prone to poor decisions. They do report that they have gleaned some information on how not to take the sap purification process next.
You now have to figure out what to do with this place. There's plenty of physical salvage since everything is mostly intact, but more than that it is intact enough to set up comfortable living - although your forces are spread a bit thin to defend it. There is of course the issue of people being rather spooked by what went on here. You're not sure if many would want to settle here.
You of course have plenty of time to make up your mind and you can even change it, although if you leave it alone others from further down the line might come in if you just leave it for now.
Your decision for now is...
[] Allow open settlement
[] Leave it for later salvage operations
[] Seal the area as a grave as best you can

The van did make things significantly easier in that while its power cells didn't have the range to make it much more than a third of the way there and still get back, it did mean that a supply cache could be set up, reducing the amount of food that needed to be carried.

Finding yourself with a bit of a labour shortage, you find yourself bringing along mostly specialists. On the one hand, you won't be able to bring much stuff and the academics don't really like having to haul things, but it at least gives the ones without a full job something to do and if you find something interesting they will be there to help figure out what it is.

Reaching the station, you find no guards posted there, and in fact no signs of habitation. Moving in further, you find what appear to be barricades, no longer manned but shuttered from lack of personnel, a thin layer of dust starting to accumulate and what evidence of people having been here last showing that the left rather than entered. The whole area is quiet and dead.
Proceeding further, you find that the shopping centre around the train station has been radically remodeled, the planters full of Terran trees and bushes meant to liven the place up now turned into what appear to have once been attempts at garden plots and are now overgrown with a riot of useless decorative cultivars that have since died from insufficient watering. It looks like their original flowers became weeds.
Searching the dead settlement, you make a beeline for the community centre, and quickly enough find what is left of the population, which is to say their bodies. The last of them seem to have succumb to violence, their skeletons showing signs of violence, but the vast majority of the bodies are gathered in great communal rooms. Rather grimly, your academics point out that the majority of the thousands of skeletons found show signs of tool marks. They were eating each other.
A grim reminder of how quickly things fall apart without a study supply of food.

Further exploration of the 'cooking area' finds something rather curious that it takes your academics the rest of the day to figure out before they give you an explanation: these people had also been attempting to extract edible food from the trees, but their attempts at purification served to concentrate the heavy metals in the local biology. Worse yet, from the signs of things they probably turned to cannibalism early due to the neurological issues associated with what they were eating making them considerably more violent and prone to poor decisions. They do report that they have gleaned some information on how not to take the sap purification process next.

You now have to figure out what to do with this place. There's plenty of physical salvage since everything is mostly intact, but more than that it is intact enough to set up comfortable living - although your forces are spread a bit thin to defend it. There is of course the issue of people being rather spooked by what went on here. You're not sure if many would want to settle here.
You of course have plenty of time to make up your mind and you can even change it, although if you leave it alone others from further down the line might come in if you just leave it for now.
Your decision for now is...
[] Allow open settlement
[] Leave it for later salvage operations
[] Seal the area as a grave as best you can

Also we are going to have to go recruiting or try and automate stuff people. We have no free laborers left.
