You give Threes your next 5 year plan, including building another materials quarry, making a deal with a private Consortium company specializing in long distance materials shipping, and changing your next 5 year colonization plan and figures to focus exclusively on Vetuckers. Jaxtians and Swalli are paused for the time being, while suitable enviorments for water conservation are chosen for them.
<span class="mu-g">"Wow... It goes on forever. It's perfect. I want to build us a house here, on top of this hill. For you and our own little herd. <3"</span>
The Vetuckers are citizens, and intelligent, requiring their own crops and infrastructure. However, as they are herbivores that survive on grasses and can live in such places, meaning that water is far less important for them compared to Jaxtian jungle ecology and fruit farming, or especially Swall aquatic living spaces. Plus, the Vetuckers are known for their endurance and high physical strength, requiring less complex dwellings, also greatly reducing their need for materials for their colonization. Still, you need to send a lot of them to make up the difference, so your colonies grow larger then the normal growth rate if you want it to or not...
In the meantime, your materials were quickly spent <span class="mu-s">building a new space fleet</span>. This first fleet, which you unoriginally name <span class="mu-i">Alpha Fleet</span>, rapidly depleted almost all of your materials reserves for the new colonies, which will undoubtably lead to shortages in building materials, electronics, tools, fortifications, and basically everything requiring metal or synthetic materials. At the very least the Fleet can help defend the colonies, and start paying back the investment. Thankfully, given yet another mineral mine, you are gaining +15% back your Materials every 5 years, and you'll get the +8% Consortium shipment in about 10 years, or roughly in the Year 150 of the Resurrection Era, so hopefully the shortage doesn't last too long...
