[@TheUnknowable] I had thought it would be likely he would be given access to create certain parts he needed. Though it probably makes sense that he also works there part-time as skilled laborerers are probably in high demand at the moment.

Yeah, it takes quite a while to bring in workers.  The closest thing to a store is a supply warehouse that is run by a quartermaster that came on the first military ship.  The closest thing to an Inn is a bunkhouse across from the mess hall, which is the closest thing to a restaurant.  Both are run by old friends that were near retirement and decided to retire here.  The fact that you need to bring in troops with the appropriate skills means that it's hard to find people to do it.  Which is why they don't have any farmers and the only hunters/fishermen are guys that used to do it for fun or work before they joined the military.  They need to hire locals in my opinion, though that's a decision for the group to try and change if they want to.
