Akra - Atmospheric Bootstrap Assembly (Model A)

Version 0.2.0 (2021-02-01)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Akra Atmospheric Bootstrap Assembly (ABA-A) provides a minimal platform to refine ore and build components when in a planet or moon with an atmosphere.

This small "outpost" is used in the Steam Guide Akra Manual for Planetary Survival. The guide provides detailed instructions on how to get from a just landed Survival Pod to an Akra Bootstrap Outpost when all you have is a Survival Kit, hand tools, and a dwindling oxygen and power supply.

The Bootstrap Outpost is a fully operational base with three landing pads, a Refinery, Assembler, Cargo Containers, Hydrogen generation and Storage, and a 5x1 Welding Strip for Small Grid ship construction.

• These steps are intended to be used as part of the Akra Manual for Planetary Survival.
  
• A Quick Build Video is available to show how to place and orient the blocks.
  
• A longer From Landing to End of Phase 1 video is also available showing all steps from landing to the completion of the Atmospheric Bootstrap Assembly.
  
• Always keep the Ingot Jobs in the Survival Kit last in the queue in the Survival Kit.

1. Land your Respawn Pod.

1. Queue up 4 Computers for a Medium Cargo Container built in Survival Kit.
   
2. Load up a personal inventory of Stone into the Survival kit and queue up a couple thousand Ingots jobs to refine stone.
   
3. Grind down the Passenger Seat and four Atmospheric Thrusters.
   
4. Build a Medium Cargo Container container on the back of Survival kit.
   
5. Load up a second personal inventory of Stone into the Survival kit.

1. Grind down 11 Light Armor blocks from Respawn Pod.
   
2. Build a 11 block tall tower of Light Armor Blocks.

1. Queue 10 Computers in the Survival Kit on the Respawn Pod (for the Basic Refinery).
