What do you guys usually name your colony?


Recommended Posts

I'm currently playing "Lo, but the Light Grows Dim".

Before that, it was "Ere the Dark Claims Us All".

Which was preceded by "The Deepest Darkest Umbral Abyss".

Which is to say, the most important ingredient for me when it comes to naming bases is Melodrama.

hive0, hive1, hive2...hive12, hive13, hive14 and then when the different asteroids came along arb_hive0, arb_hive1, ard_hive0...

I just realized I will never remember how many hives I had on which asteroid and have to check savegames before playing a new one or else it would bother me forever if I repeated a number... I have issues.

I spend way too much time thinking of an interesting name nobody will ever see anyway.

My latest badlands colony is named Sar Mara.

I had names like "disaster in progress" or "danceparty" before.

I think i`ll call the next one "runaway trainwreck". (just came up with it)

I usually just pick whatever comes to mind that sounds cool; my currently colony is called "Far Far Away" and my previous colonies were "Colony 1" ,a name so original that it's awesome, Dupeville, and Cobbled Spacecamp, though that last one came from the name RNG. My next colony for when the Launch Upgrade fully releases is probably going to be a name I come up with as well.

 

For my testing colonies, I usually just use the name generator or name it after the thing I'm going to be testing.

I always use the seed number including the new seed prefix.

I'll sometimes use the same seed in sandbox mode where I reveal the map and uncover the geysers and I'll name that with the seed and postfix it with "map". I'll load up the map save for future reference when digging my way to geysers.

I usually run through a few random names until I see something I like. Though on this launch preview, I went with "The Rickety Launchpad", "Beyond the Rickety Launchpad", and "Slightly Sturdier Launchpad". I, uh... restarted a few times after seeing update notes. ;)

So, then I was making something that would also be a slightly less rickety launchpad, BUT, the random name generator chose simply "Abyss", and I thought I just had to stick with it.

I tend to go with something the RNG suggests... Currently, I'm playing "The Duplicant Trainwreck". Before, it was "Abyss", "The Star-Crossed Fortress", "The Doomed Supernova"... (I had a few false starts there, my longest saves are the current one and Abyss, "The Incredible Cosmos" and "The Transdimensional Supernova". I liked the names, tbh)
