So one of the items on your list is now 'cloth' or something similar.
You realize that most colonies weren't doing a lot of weaving of cloth
right away, right?

Right, they had to wait for the first cotton crop to come in before the
women could make cloth or they would use animal skins from the readily
available game.

Except they didn't do either of those things.  Instead they shipped
the stuff in.  Even as late as the mid-19th century it was cheaper to
import than to produce locally.  Tariffs to protect northern textiles
were one of the causes of the civil war.

What was shipped in was the fine textiles and the Civil War was after
the colonial period.

Spinning wheels and looms were common items during the colonial period.

Go visit a museum.

Shipped in.  Colonies focused on growing FOOD.  Everything else

Which imports would that be; it certainly wasn't generic cloth.

Of course the spinning wheels and looms were shipped in, especially
initially.

And then the WOMEN of the FAMILIES used them to make cloth.

Fuck off and die, space cadet ass hole.

Here is the big question you keep ignoring:

How is it that the indigenous people who had been there for thousands
of years without resupply could survive and thrive but the Europeans
couldn't survive at all without resupply?

Were the Europeans too lazy, too stupid, or too fraile?

But they didn't meet your definition of 'self-sufficient' because when
those things broke, they had to import the parts (or new machines).
And the colonies were nowhere near self sufficient in cloth.  One of
the primary imports was finished textiles and clothing.

Here's the big question YOU keep ignoring:

Why did so many colonies fail and so many more come so close to it?

Those things are made of wood.

The majority of people were farmers and made most of their own stuff
on spinning wheels and looms.

Not all colonies that failed were a survival issue, a lot were economic
failures.

The reasons were poor site planning, attacks from indigenous people,
disease, attacks from other governments, wasting time searching for
mythical gold, and not paying proper attention to getting crops planted.

None failed for lack of air or water.

How is it that the indigenous people who had been there for thousands
of years without resupply could survive and thrive but the Europeans
couldn't survive at all without resupply?

That the indigenous people survived and thrived building civilizations
on their own is de facto proof that support from Europe is not needed
to survive in the Americas.

The demand for luxury goods exceeded local supply.

The clothing required to survive was avaiable locally as is shown by the
fact that indigenous people thrived and built civilizations for thousands
of years without any imports from Europe.

Using it for the intended purpose just like the colonial women were
doing with the spinning wheels and looms, i.e. making thread and cloth.

When things are made of wood, repair parts literally grow on trees, space

Ever heard of the Aztecs and Mayans, space cadet?

Civilizatons that had large cities, mathematics, astronomy and more
for thousands of years until the Europeans showed up.

Not hundreds of thousands of years, just thousands of years and never had
to be resupplied from Europe.

There are lots of private airplanes.  So why are there all those
commercial airliners and cargo planes?  This is your argument with
regard to spinning wheels...

Gee, I've never seen parts growing on trees, chimpshit.  Of course,
chimps never got beyond sticks and rocks, so perhaps that explains
your confusion.

And also had crushing poverty, bare survival, and mass extermination

You think the Mayan and Aztec empires arose within a thousand years of
when those immigrants arrived?  REALLY????

Current chemical industry is already automated to a very high
degree.  Also, automation is expensive in equipment.  When equipment
fails, you need somebody to repair it.  And so on...

If you only have a few thousand people, the best you can hope
for is technology of around hundread years ago.  They didn't have
all the complicated, interconnected stuff.  The only rubber they
could use was natural rubber.  Synthetic fabrics were unknown, as
were plastics except for Bakelite.

So, bring on those cotton plants.

To do anything really useful, you need quite a big first step.

I was talking about chemicals, which are the raw material for 3D
printers.  Automated is already done.

Not really.  We (in the West) already automate to the point where
it is unrealistic to expect more at the current level of
technology.

The problem is not only running the processes smoothly on a
day-to-day basis.  The problem is that you need people for
process upsets, for mechanical failures and for maintenance.

Mechanical seals fail.  Solid gets into pumps and plugs them.
Heat exchangers foul.  Pumps wear out.  Pipes corrode.  Insulation
of electrical motors degrades over time.  And so on...

And every five years or so, you have a big turnaround to inspect
everything and replace or repair worn or damaged parts.

Currently, we do not have the technology to avoid this kind of
thing, and automation is not going to help there.  If we had the
technology, we would be using it now.

[As you may have guessed, I work in the chemical industry, so
I know a little about the issues involved].

People are more expensive on a Mars colony.  So needing one guy part
time to do repairs vs needing half a dozen people hand managing things
is a net win.

Wrong.  Basic counter-example.  Here on Earth we make rocket fuel with
a lot of people involved in the process.  On Mars we'll make rocket
fuel using a completely automated factory that requires no human
attention at all (because there won't be any humans there to supervise
when it goes into production).

You work in the EARTH chemical industry, so you have a lot of build-in
assumptions about how to do things that are simply incorrect.

Have you actually ever seen a chemical plant from the inside, and
do you have an idea of their complexity and what people actually
do who work there?

We do not currently have the technology to go much further in
automation.

If you think otherwise, please contact DOW, Dupont, BASF, ...

They will be happy to implement your concepts.

Of course we do.  it's just that (on Earth) the cost of the machinery

You really don't have a clue about any of this, do you?  Lots of
people work in fast food.  Most of them could be replaced by
automation.  They aren't (currently) because the cost of the people is
lower than the cost of the automation.

If you think the requirements of the fast food industry equals
that of the chemical industry, you are quite mistaken.

Again, contact BASF and tell them how to save on man-hours in their
production units.

They will be quite happy if the concepts you offer are valid.

If you didn't dishonestly remove the rest of the explanation, you
could have avoided the preceding stupid remark.

ALL economic efforts have just a few inputs - materials, capital, and
labour.  All economic efforts will try to swap off among those three
to reduce overall product costs.  Now industries can't do too much
about materials cost to swap that off for capital and labour, but they
will add capital and labour costs to try to reduce material waste WHEN
THE NET CHANGE IS POSITIVE.  They will also substitute capital for
labour or vice versa WHEN THE NET CHANGE IS POSITIVE.  It doesn't
matter if you're talking about the chemical industry or the fast food
industry.  Any successful economic activity will behave that way.

The optimum mix among materials, capital, and labour will be DIFFERENT
depending on the relative costs of the three components.  Those
relative costs will be DIFFERENT on Mars than they are on Earth.  I'm
sorry you find this simple set of concepts so beyond you.

Not while labour is at its current cost compared to automation costs,
they won't.  Let labour costs get to where they would be on Mars,
though, ...

Trying to discuss rationally with somebody who resorts to ad
hominem attacks when arguments run out is futile.

Bye.
