If what Hero said is what I think he said these crossbows may be too cumbersome to actually act as PD systems.

No, Calynth Crossbows are part of the schizotech-tree. They are also semi-automatic magazine-fed while being pretty big. See the crossbow of the First Son for refference:

We probably could improve that...
Could we make a repeating crossbow as a research? Maybe even some miniaturization effort to it be (barely) person carriable?
They already are? We are using the big version for ships, but there's a small people sized version.

Explosive bolts can be a thing?
No reason why they shouldn't.

If we don't have have the already we should get them, make crossbows essentially better mortars for anything but being able to be used as a main naval gun.
@HeroCooky do we have eplosive crossbow bolts already being made and if we are not can we have a research make them?

They are a, very expensive, thing that already exist.

Could we try to make them a more viable alternative? Like just how our improved prostetics are for actual bionics in the setting.

There isn't one that doesn't involve punching into plastic explosives with 0 understanding of what they are.

So behind an research chain or if we get a lucky artifact blueprint. Makes sense.

1. I think one turn to be able to translate all those blueprints at once won't hurt. As it stands, we're yet to actual hit any of the end-averting stuff. Hoping that the blueprints will unlock more stuff.
2. Which is covered by the Swamp Taming action.
We already looted the Medical Wing on the first floor.
Now, I came up for an answer for the Martial action, having the Rust-Scouts study the Weaver. Before you say RageQuit is crazy - remember that Unique items are extremely important, it's sitting on a site with them, and it's possible it won't be a threat to expeditions. But we don't know for sure, hence the need to check.

But there's other room.
Here:
Room 7 of the third floor.
I think that the research action that these blueprints can bring would actually make get the books done harder actually.
Shinny Management is important on quests.

Not really as long as we keep one action dedicated to Translating stuff.

Like how we didn't last turn and will not do this turn either?

What are you talking about? We did last turn.

Ah sorry I missed that when i checked. It also was not mentioned in the chapter.

Far, far less stressed and neurotic. Capable of holding a conversation not directly related to his purpose by now, even if only in a slow manner or in short bursts throughout the day.
As someone currently studying for a tranlatorship degree, no, translation is not that easy. The only way I could see of Automating it is to put a guy on permanent translation duty.
PS: Also, posting multiple times in a row is something that is considered rude in these forums. So please edit your last post next time if you want to add something.

You are already using machine/computer-translations via PD (Perpetual Defiance) and DoD (Daughter of Dawn), the problem is that your native non-AI capabilities are well below the level needed to be useful/able to aid your efforts, especially at translating languages that are dead and have been dead three language shifts ago.
And no worries abot the english, practice needs to happen sometime!
You might want to give the Rust-Scouts a Scout Scutter or two for this. Mechanically, probably won't have any effect, but it fits the story.
Not sure if having the DoD float somewhere outside the Forest and pointing its sensors at the Weaver wouldn't achieve the same thing, though. It sounded like the Weaver didn't hole up in some building or deep crevice.
