Since the current fabrication unit is limited in what it can produce by the materials available to it, some robots of one form or another that can find and deliver the basic commodities needed to create the materials that OWL is running short of should be the first thing on the list.
The next item would be more fabrication units of course. Progress requires that you be able to build the tools that build the tools, and having only one fabber is a major failure point.
Then I'd suggest another AI unit (or ten!) to increase OWL's computational abilities, since he's got more and more demands on his memory and processors all the time. Creating one that
wasn't intended as a military tactical computer, but rather a research and retrieval computer as mentioned in OAR would be a
big help!
It might even be able to figure out how to get rid of the OBS without having to capture the Temple, although that part of the story is gonna be lots of fun. Since we all seem to believe that the controls to the Rakurai are in the Temple's basement, RFC will probably put them somewhere else!
The list grows infinite after that: ballistic undies and medical nannites for the inner circle, NEATs and longevity treatments for kids born after the Big Reveal, more fabbers, TF consumer goods, space shuttles, spacecraft to mine asteroids, bigger fabbers to create spaceships, etc. etc. etc.
I hope the
Hamilcar still exists to speed up the process - once Merlin and co. take it away from the archangels who have currently set up residence inside it...
