You are a nanomachine. You have just re-activated. You are too simple to understand concepts such as time or why you were weren't active in the first place.

Your current abilities are:
Harvest materials; ingest nearby matter
Divide; become two half sized nanomachines.

You harvest and divide, the both of you then harvest and divide once more, then all four of you harvest and divide a third time.

NEW POWER:
LINK; two or more nanos can link together to form a more complex structure. WARNING, linked nanos cannot harvest or divide until unlinked.

The linking causes you to suddenly remember something. You are not sure how you got the memory, but you are sure that two linked nanos can transmute into a micro transmission spindle which allows individual nanos to communicate over longer distances.
WARNING: transmutation is permanent

Replicate until you have 24 nano components. Link 4 and create 2 transmission spindle's, then link 10 into blocks of 2,and two of those into blocks of four. the remaning 10 singles continue to harvest and devide

Final count will be 10 singles, 2 spindels 2 blocks of four and one double.

This, and begin immediate experimentation to determine range of transmission spindles.

Once range is determined, we will know how many spindles we will need to space throughout the swarm to allow communication with the whole. Eventually we'll want a communications net with redundancies in case individual spindles are damaged or destroyed, but a single layer should suffice for now.

You set about harvesting dividing and linking in several configurations. As well as transmute two micro spindles.

the other linkings reveal new memories to you.

when assembled into a square you remember

Beamer: 3 nanos in a L shape, can fire a small beam that can destroy a single nano, but has a fire rate of only 1 per round and is normally immobile. which brings us to

Lifter: a square of 4 nanos, it generates a localized anti-gravity field directly over it letting it lift and manipulate any micro class constructs and give various benefits to it. most obvious being it grants the beamer the ability to rotate in any direction. it can only lift an object 1 nano above itself without an extra source of power

Micro generator: 3 nanos in a line, despite being made of only 3 nanos, this device generates as much energy as 7 nanos. which can boost the ability of some nanos.

micro Sensor tower: 4 nanos in a line can create a sensor tower. it is the most basic way of detecting things other then the relative location of your nanos. you think it's supposed to face a different direction...

Finally you run some tests with your two spindles and figure out exactly how far things can go. The spindles themselves can be roughly 50% further away then a single nano due to their improved send/receive ability.

The fackt that "Round" is a concept you understand leads me to belive the nanites are some sort of combat Toy, this is good, if we have escaped or are malfunctioning we will not be viewed as a theat to begin with.

Ok, first things first, build ourselves up until the construction of 3 Generators, 2 towers, 1 meaner and 1 lifter leaves us with 20 single nanites. then experiment with the towers and try to ascertain our local enviroment, if possible try to build up to 40 spare nanites, then use 20 to create a large block, see what that dose.

If the giant cube dose nothing then turn the beamer on it to break it down into usable marital once more.
>>
No. 553005 ID: fd6ae9

Right.

Swarm: continue to harvest and replicate.

Construction orders:

1x Beamer
1x Lifter for the beamer
1x Generator
1x Sensor tower

Maintain numbers and stagger construction such that at any given point, no more than 1/4 of total nanos are built into special structures, and the remainder are on collect and multiply duty.

When the sensor comes online, use the lifter to rotate it and scan a full 360 degrees.

The nanos harvest and replicate once mo-

REPLICATION ERROR

it appears we have hit some kind of limit, when attempting to divide the 31st nano it went inert almost immediately after it was created. seems that right now we only have 30 nanos to work with, including those in transmuted objects, so the micro spindles count as two each despite being one object.

The processor only counts as one nano? Make one, and then harvest and replicate until we hit the nano-cap again.

Also, if we haven't made a senor tower yet, make one, and begin scanning the area.

Excellent. Create one immediately. That will allow us to create 17 more(8 used for a structure that count as 1, so 7 are freed up, and 10 max cap increase). Also form up some spare nanos into a line of 8 length for additional line research, and make a Sensor tower and Lifter combo so we can look around in various directions.

apparently i was too subtle, or something. it's a TOWER, it was sideways. got the memory from four blocks in a row, but it was facing the wrong direction.

The sup-processor and the sensor tower are built. the tower begins scanning the area.

A lifter is also built and is awaiting an input

A chain of 8 blocks in a row reveals nothing new.

sensor data has compiled. two different types of data have been detected. green indicates some kind of energy source. blue marks faint data transmissions.

Blue we can assume is an enemy, let's avoid them for now. Make a Beamer for the Lifter so we have some basic defense.

Take those 8 research nanos and make an L block from them instead. Also make two subprocessors. Continue to produce new nanos. Once we have like 50 free nanos try making a 3x3x3 cube.

I suggest a different strategy for harvest/growth: Instead of alternating harvesting and growing, have half of our idle nanos harvesting at any moment and the other half growing. That should save a little time from not having to switch tasks, and we'll actually grow at a faster rate because, if for instance we have 100 nanos, it'll be 50 then 75 instead of just 100 from two cycles.

No. 553054 ID: fb4e93

Hmm, so, do you need to ingest a certain amount of matter before you can divide, or do you just get smaller and smaller if you keep dividing? Is there some kind of drawback to that?

So, does the CPU block increase the max cap by 10, is that what it does? If so, basically keep harvesting and dividing; the half and half scheme seems good, depending on whether or not an individual bot needs to cycle harvesting and dividing. Allocate a enough new bots to CPUs to keep raising the cap, but also start producing beamers and lifters and other sundry units.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop - unopposed, we could get arbitrarily big really fast. I'm nervous that we may soon be called upon to defend ourselves.
>>
No. 553058 ID: dc7e57

Break up the 8 nanos we have researching.
Make a second lifter.
Make a pair of beamers.
Make a third spindle.

Place the beamers on the lifters, and position them facing the blue area as defense.

Organize two groups of four nanos and a spindle, then send a group to scout each of the blue and green areas.

We need to figure out what is going on here.

i thought i was clear in the description of it "directing control for 10 micro class objects, such as spindles." it controls transmuted objects, which are made of multiple nanos, freeing up control so instead of having 26 single nanos and 2 spindles you have 29 nanos and 1 sub processor


the 8 line is changed into an 8 L. nothing happens. you build and deploy two lifter/beamer combos on the.... let's call it east, side.

you re-arrange your spindles so your nanos can examine the energy source, one nano approa-

Not necessarily. The ability to control the relative orientation of structures that would otherwise orient and/or drift randomly would still be useful (especially with directional weapons or sensors). But point taken.

We have shielding, but the shielded structure only protects itself so it's kindof useless atm.

>>553077
Oh, so the micro subprocessor only increases the cap by freeing up nanos used to make structures.

Wait, the core processor requires a memory matrix, but the memory matrix requires a core processor? How are we supposed to build either of them? Or does the core processor just connect to any existing memory matrixes and sub processors to improve its own function?

I'd like to build both new structures, and then two more sub processors alongside two beam/lifter combos and four micro generators. If we have a bunch of free nanos, make a line of 20 of them to see if it unlocks anything. Lacking results from that, a 2x2x5 structure might unlock the Small generator...

A 2x5 can turn into a small gate. Despite being small it fits seamlessly with micro walls. It counts as an object due to the moving parts, but is simple enough that it can be managed by a micro subprocessor. due to the requirement of moving parts it is a weak point in wall defenses.

well thats hostile, seems the small contacts are moving bombs. the contact nano was vaporized, the wall managed to deflect most of the blast but was damaged. what's odd is they were only the size of one of your nanos, and you have no data on one nano bombs.

Ah, I see. The circles are objects, not just markers. From now on, have our defending Beamers shoot any incoming bombs.

Have our scouts go check out that bigger blue oval. Meanwhile, make 4 more beamer/lifter combos and have them move out as a second group behind the scouts. Time to retaliate with a quick strike force. Also, reinforce our defensive wall with two shields and two generators.

Hmm. Make one tank, put a Lifter+Beamer combo on it and a small generator. Send that out behind our strike force. It should zap the enemy signatures loitering near our base before heading to the second map.

Further research: a 4x4x4 cube, if we can manage it. Could we get some numbers in each update giving us the total number of loose nanos, max nanos, and nanos used in structures by size alongside the processor compensation?

Then let's see what's on the next map.

Let's see if building/linking various sized pyramids get us any memories.

And why not do the tetrominoes? And while we're at it why not some polycubes? http://recmath.org/PolyPages/PolyPages/index.htm?Polycubes.html Seems to have quite a few we can try.

you can suggest specific shapes. like hollow tube of X dimensions and such. but i am not going to go that whole site to see if one of the shapes is valid

Make the skeleton of a 4x4x4 cube. This will take 32 nanos. Then add 8 to make it a 4x4x4 cube skeleton containing a 2x2x2 cube. Then add 16 more nanos to make a hollow cube. Finally add the remaining 8 to make a solid cube. This is the most efficient means of testing the simplest combinations for a 4x4x4 space.

I thought that so long as the shape we form is large enough to contain memory-designs then we'd discover it?

>>553565
yes, but obviously you can make some weird shapes that are otherwise too big to just make a cube. such as the 2x2x5, you do not have enough nanos to make a 5x5x5 cube. so non-cube shapes can still help. not sure what Seven thinks he is gonna get from making part of a cube, and then the whole cube.

Why dont make a L shape out of 2x2x2 boxs? It should make a small beamer or something along those lines?
>>
No. 553789 ID: 53ba34

sorry for the wait, is pretty hard to design small objects that mostly conform the right shape.

guuuuys, we haven't figured out how to work things like the micro generators work with beamers or even gotten the shield generators working by plugging the micro generators into them!
If we're gonna experiment, lets work more with those things instead of small-class crap we don't really have the nanos to create!
>>
No. 553881 ID: ca419d

Well if we dont have the nanos to go making small stuff why dont we make small/micro combos like
1x trans tank
With 1x lifter beamer combo
And 1x micro spindle
That takes 27 nanos to make and gives us some mobile fire power and a slow but strong scout

And lets see what sec 0-1 is like

seriously guys, i give you a unit with a large transport capacity and you only stick ONE unit on it? it is 4x5 wide, lifters are only 2x2, do the math.

So then we just load it up with 4 pairs of lifter-beamers!!

Or two and a small spindle and a micro sensor

First the beamers take out the bombs once they get in range.
Shapes are reconstituted into a 4x4x4 cube, three nanos are sent after the spindle into the next sector, and the lifter beamers are migrated together awaiting a heavy transport to move them.

Light transport tank: is made via a 4x4 + shape with an extra layer of 4 in the center. the light tank has an obviously smaller transportation capacity but it can move much faster then the heavy tank, in fact, it can move faster then even single nanos. it's armor is much lighter and the legs are vulnerable.

small sensory correlation system: does not operate on it's own. instead it is linked with 4 micro sensor towers that link up with it and create a sensor net. this improves both range and fidelity of sensor systems due to the slightly different inputs being processed in parallel.

NEW OBJECT TYPE: DOUBLE TRANSMUTATION

Transfer lifter. requires attached generator to function properly. not only lifts but provides extra power to lifted object(s). so objects require this to function properly. takes two micro object capacity

Slicer: chargeable sustained coherent energy beam. made from 4 micro beamers. MUST be placed on a transfer lifter in order to have enough power. central energy sphere is charged up then fires a continuous beam that can rotate while firing for as long as the charge lasts.

the spindle is in the new map. it only obtains partial data due to sensor tower range. also cannot properly identify shape of objects emitting transmissions.

Cool, cool. Oh, hey, how many nanos do we need in order to build those things?

Ahhhh shit lets upgrade both the lefters and beamers too there small size and then mount them on a hev trans

No. 554462 ID: 53ba34

>>554431
light tank: 16
small tower: 22
small lifter and eye: 32
small subprocessor: 36

the double transmutations require only component parts, no additional nanos unless noted.

Then instead of micro left-beam armed hev tank we use a small version of both along with 4 more beamers to re arm the micro lefts we have
