Linsey directed the servant machines and Rota to transport ore within the base.
Before long, the other maid dolls also arrived to help.
The most basic base was just this troublesome. A series of manual tasks had to be carried out before nearby resources could be incorporated into it.
The good news was that even Out of Control Machine's most basic buildings could smelt metal. The ore could be refined on-site, sparing Linsey the trouble of crafting it by hand.
