Hello Convicts,
As your adventure with the Claywood Corporation in the Argos program will begin really soon, we thought it might be helpful to give you a little introduction to them and their corporate clients.
A MESSAGE FROM CLAYWOOD CORPORATION FOR THE NEWCOMERS TO THE ARGOS PROGRAM:
"(...) Claywood Corporation is honored to welcome you to the surface of Arcadia-7, located in the Ruptura System, in the URV-X galaxy. Your presence, as the first team after more than half a century of stagnation, marks a new chapter in the history of humanity - and the future of our company.
Your mission is to extract, process, automate and ship the resources necessary for Earth. At the same time, we encourage you to explore and document this undiscovered world - a potential New Earth.
You were chosen for a reason. Each of you has unique talents and experiences that make you invaluable pioneers. While your past may have been difficult, Claywood Corporation offers you a chance for redemption and a fresh start.
Each completed order brings you closer to the freedom you long for. (...)"
After you arrive in Claywood Corporation’s Lander (which is, of course, equipped with basic comforts) and stand your feet on the surface of the Arcadia-7 planet, you can start paying off your debt immediately. Isn’t that neat?
When you start to effectively acquire materials, produce goods, and send them away to Claywood’s clients, you will be able to claim your rewards. Just use their Corporate Terminal to complete assignments for different companies, which will, in turn, give you access to new schematics for technology and buildings.
You will be able to place the Terminal inside Habitats - secure bunker-like buildings which will protect and shelter you from the dangers of the outside world.
Claywood’s modular components, such as Platforms, Pillar Supports, Stairs, Extendable Walkways, and Ladders, will be a necessity if you want to connect different buildings to power sources, construct comfortable footpaths on the more challenging terrains of Arcadia-7, or build easy shortcuts to harder-to-reach places. Just watch out for heights and take care of the basic security rules, will you?
Space mining corporation.
Selenian Corp.’s tech is critical to Arcadia-7 colonization. Their Base Core is an essential machine that allows you to start the construction of your factory and, most importantly, grants protection from Fire Waves to the buildings around it.
When you think of Selenian Corp., think about fabrication and ore processing - the main operations of your factory.
Their portfolio of factory buildings starts with Ore Extractors - they allow you to automate gathering raw materials such as Titanium or Wolfram Ores, Helium-3, or Sulfur, among others. Selenian’s Ore Extractors can be placed directly on deposits of valuable minerals.
After such a mineral has been extracted, the machine sends it via Drone Rails to processing, the further stage of your factory's production pipeline.
Whenever you need to produce more common items, such as Basic Building Materials or ammunition, use Selenian's more portable tech, the Basic Item Printer, which you can place inside your Habitat.
Corporation specializing in Drones and factory logistics.
Clever Robotics' main focus is drone designs and manufacturing, as well as artificial intelligence, particularly used in autonomous machines.
Their major invention is pocket technology, which allows you to store large numbers of items directly in your personal inventory.
The same technology, but on a much larger scale, is used in other storage buildings, such as Storage Depots.
Alternatively, it can also be used on a slightly smaller scale in the form of Personal Storage Boxes, which you will be able to place inside your Habitat.
The most important invention used in your mission is the Orbital Cargo Launcher. This machine sends out all requests, such as ordered products and minerals, back to their assigners.
Thanks to Clever Robotics' invention of transferring goods via the interdimensional rift between Arcadia-7 and Earth, the shipment will get right into the hands of their requesters quickly and unscathed.
Take care of your OCLs - they are important for completing your assignments (and paying your debt!), by which you will be able to increase your value as a dedicated worker, gain a reputation with selected Corporations, and receive new blueprints and recipes to expand your factory.
And that’s it for our part one of the corporations’ overview. Stay tuned for part two, where we will shed more light on Moon Energy (energy corporation), Griffits Blue Corp (military corporation), and last but not least: Future Health Solutions (pharmaceutical and medical corporation).
Until the next one,
Creepy Jar
