Spacepit 40-2 | A Succession Colony


Recommended Posts

The saga of Spacepit 40-2, a Duplicant Colony in the Occupational Upgrade, seed 42.

 

Rules

This is a succession game, wherein each player plays for a period before passing the game to a new overseer. Anybody can join the turn list by volunteering themselves in this thread. Each overseer will play for 20 cycles (ending their turn at the start of cycle 20,40,60, etc) and upload the save to the next person in line. 

To keep things moving, if an overseer haven't completed the turn by 1 week from when the previous overseer hands over the save, they forfeit their turn and the next person in line gets the save. Additionally, if an overseer doesn't acknowledge the start of their turn within 2 days of the handover, they forfeit their turn the next person in line gets the save.

Overseers may not use cheats or debug mode. Minor exploits are allowed. Major exploits that trivialize a particular challenge of the game, (for example, the Borg Cube Supercooler), are not. Overseers are expected to use their own judgement when deciding if an exploit is major or minor.

Overseers are expected, though not obliged, to keep everyone informed of the goings on in and around the base. This can be done via in-character roleplaying, dialog, diary entries, OOC reports, screenshots of the base, or a combination of any of the above. At the very least, please let us know if any of our named duplicants die during your turn.

Anyone who comments in this thread must be be given a duplicant named after them. This rule may only be postponed when the colony is having trouble supporting the current number of duplicants.

Duplicants

"Oof!"

         

Quasar sat up, rubbing her jaw where it had smacked into the sandstone tiles. Beside her, two other people pulled themselves to their feet, looking dazed. Her mind started working. Who was she? Who were they?

        

JKqDbtj.jpg

 

Questions for later. Quasar looked around. They were in a small, damp, sandstone cave, lit by the light on the device they'd been thrown out of. A patch of teal rock on the roof was emitting a steady stream of air. Oxylite. It would keep the three of them alive, but not for long. They had no choice. They'd have to dig.

        

The other two were talking to each other. Asking questions. Why? No point in sharing information when they didn't have any to share yet. Foolish. Irrelevant. Ignore them. Continue observing the situation.

What else would they need? Food. Quasar knelt by the ration box and opened the lid. A small stock of nutrient bars. Better than nothing. Same conclusion. Will need to expand. Establish hygiene facilities. Find additional food.

        

She unslung the multitool on her back, feeling a sense of deja vu as it settled familiarity in her hands. Excellent. Her memory was not faulty. They could dig with these.

        

"We must dig," she said, interrupting the conversion the other two were having. "Assist me."

        

"Uh... yes okay, that makes sense," said the nearer of them. He held out a hand "My name is-"

        

"I don't care. If we find the means of survival, then I will learn your name. Until then, assist me."

        

"Wow, uh... rude much? You could at least say please."

        

"Please assist me, or you will be eaten first when we run out of food."

Quasar dispassionately examined the cavern they had uncovered. Algae on floors and ceiling could be dug up and de-oxidized to prevent suffocation. The nearby water source could provide clean water for washbasins. Several chunks of Oxylite would provide oxygen, at least for a while.

       

"We will need latrine facilities as we continue seeking a sustainable food source. You, build outhouses. Other one, washbasins. I will seek additional caverns. Please do not fall asleep with your head in the toilet after you complete the outhouses."

 

"Why... why would you feel the need to specify that?"

         WZGvAkB.jpg

 

-----------------------------

 

"You promised to learn our names once we were set up."

"Fine. But this doesn't mean we are friends."

wGWKVrM.jpg

 

"Oh, I think we'll be friends soon enough. You're bossy, but you're a good person deep down, I just know it." [punch]

"I hate you all."

------

 

"Hey, Quasar?"

"Yes?"

"Did you know you snore?"

"I do not snore."

oNEBhgW.jpg

"Uh, you really do. I'm just glad we were on the other side of the portal."

"I do not snore. I merely require privacy."

"No, I'm telling you, I heard you last night-"

"This discussion is over. Never speak of it again."

--------------------------------------------------

Kubrute and Lady Wolflyn examined the workshops they'd set up in the copper void they had uncovered to the east. Promising. An algae deoxidizer, a research station and a massage table.

Quasar considered the possibilities. The others were shortsighted, valuing social contact over any form of progress and working towards their mutual survival. Also, they were dumb and she was smart. It was only natural that she should designate herself the scientist of the group.

The excitement of a new hat was overwhelming.

Meanwhile, Lady Wolflyn put on a miners hat, while Kabrute donned the mantle of an architect.

 

----------

 

Quasar was passing the strange device that had brought them here and, presumably, wiped their memory, when it started glowing brightly. Abruptly, someone fell out of it.

TaygcVw.jpg

A decent artist, but with no art to make. In the absense of anything better for ColBBQ to do, Quasar put them onto mining alongside Lady Wolflyn, which they had some interest in.

 

Demonstrating their utter lack of knowledge on the subject of mining, ColBBQ promptly locked themselves in the latrine for the night.

-----------------------------------------

 

Expansion continued in all directions. With the knowledge that the portal was still sending people through, Quasar insisted we prepare multiple beds. additionally, a pair of lush caverns on the upper layers were also utilised for temporary gardens, with a shinebug providing light for the bristle blossoms we had managed to uncover.

By the time the fifth duplicant arrived, the colony was well established.

GrindThisGame: a skilled cook and decent runner. He was most pleased to find the colony had prepared for his arrival.

In the deep places of the colony, our miners found another shinebug, and a crack leading to some sort of room, covered in slime and reeds.

yN3zvpd.jpg

OOC: I love finding this particular type of POI near the starting biome. The slime in them is sterile, so you can approach it without any risk of slimelung, and 5 healthy wild thimble-reeds is insanely handy. However, I hate getting polluted oxygen in the base, so I'll build an airlock to contain it before we go inside.

--------------------------------

Holy carp this guy is swole.

Congrats on your new career as a pack animal, Nascarlaser!

 

... I don't think he got the sarcasm.

Meanwhile, we're still expanding. Looking at getting a more permanent, less insect-reliant bristle-berry farm set up. (The airflow tiles are there to collect some of the heat from the bulb and buy us some time).

Welcome Midjones! I like your hair. At least, I think that's hair. I suppose it could be some sort of coral, or symbiotic bacterial colony.

And another one! Welcome Major SNAFU.

CyEWHus.jpg

You seem quite skilled at a variety of... um... what's up with your eyes?

yq8UFNS.jpg

Are you on the drugs? Wait, where would you have even got drugs from?

Okay, fine, you can be a groundskeeper then, if you want to so badly. Enjoy mopping, ya' wierdo.

-------------------------------------------------

OH GOD IT'S CONTAGIOUS.

Is it just me, or does Oozinator look exactly like Lady Wolflyn? Are they siblings? How would we even know, none of us have any memories.

Decontamination processing begins...

Aaand I'm done here. People can stop coming to me to tell them what to do. I officially give the hat of leadership to someone else.

Good luck to the next overseer!

This is fun to read :). If I can I'd like to sign up for one of the slots please.

 

Disclaimer: There is a chance the colony will be needing a medbay after I'm done being overseer for it :D.... I have a bad track record with germs.

"This brain next to a chair looks pretty promising, maybe it'll cure my slow learning difficulties?"

"Are you sure it's especially wise to stay in that thing overnight?"

"What could possibly go wrong?"

"See? Nothing to worry about! I can dig better than ever!"

"Didn't do much for your slow learning difficulty tho..."

"Forget about that, we got a new arrival to the colony! Welcome Thewreckdangle! Looks like you're a perfect fit for our Operator job opening!"

"Another one?!"

Welcome Nat, You'll make a fine digger and secondary farmer I think."

nat.jpg

"Okay, next order of business is a gas power plant, with these extra people we're going to need more oxy production and the treadmills aren't quite enough to cover it all. We got this nice geyser right next door, might as well make good use of it."wreck.thumb.jpg.69d44ff68af86d8c3172ddbaa11be53c.jpg

"I need a shower."

"Yes Wolfie, yes you do."

"..."

"Hey Wolfie! While you're at it can you add some better ventilation and toilets down there? It's getting hard to breath in the bathroom, and it smells like B.O and BBQ!"

"B.O and BBQ? What the-, I'm not even gonna ask."

Wolf.jpg

"Steel Flame! You're just a jack of all trades, welcome to the colony!"

"Uh, thanks! I think?"

 

wreck.jpg

"He's got Irritable Bowel? Good thing you put in those new toilets huh Wolfie?"

"Wolfie! The Portal's active again!"

"There's just no end to'em, hold off for a bit, we're running low on food."

"On my shower? Sure, I'll keep cooking instead."

"No I meant on the-"

"Hey there!"

with.jpg.1e4fd990621d546d049b90f0ab22bdf8.jpg

"...Hey, welcome to the colony, hope you like Mushbars."

"What's that? Is it like sponge cake and twinkies?"

"... Yeah sure, that's just what it's like, really!"

"Wolfie? I'ma going to let the newcomer take over my courier job and taking up cooking to help feed all the extra mouths okay?"

"Sure Nascarlaser, have at it."

"Right, enough lazing about, let's get in a medbay, with this many people someone's bound to get sick or injured sooner or later."

"Done Wolfie! But now we got a power shortage..."

*Growls* "Build more gas generators then."

"That should be it for a while..."

"Wolfess we got another proooblem!"

"That's it I'm done, someone else can be overseer for a while."

"Don't you mean packleader?"

"..."

Alrighty Kabrute you're up!

Colony should be in pretty good shape save for a couple problems, food supply is stabilizing since I added a second chef and cook station, powers more than sufficient but the power grid will need some segregation to prevent overloading and algae is starting to run low so probably will need to get a more reliable O2 source up and running before too many cycles.

Here's your save:  5a7e3df1eeb26_Spacepit40-2.sav

Understood, sleepwalker at the helm :)
For my first order of business I will tackle the food issue and the stress issue by using the consumables menu image.thumb.png.714265652bc6b953bb5b0c6e15f5a8b2.png

This wont stop all wire breakage but it does limit it to just right around the generators
Then that thing lit up again, image.thumb.png.f8f5c6ce2d6ce46cbd36c517010f76dc.png
 

And we all got a new friend!  Welcome Amara313
 

Forgot to grab the good shot of the last dupe, but this time the portal lit up and Say hello to the newest member of the Spacepit pit-crewimage.thumb.png.174df68fcd70199a095c663336f02421.png
 

And in the mean time

Ququasar has been relocated to an actual room, while everyone else is recieving an upgrade in accomodations, I chose a moment when the plants where mostly just harvested to go ahead and start flipping the bottom bunkhouse :D

Spacepit40-2.sav

Almost finished research, excess of food, started transitioning the colony to electrolizer but is only to keep bathroom from overburdening us with germs.
@ColBBQ Your turn, did the best I could, have fun and good luck :)

Kabrute has provided me with a far more comfortable private room in recognition of my importance to the colony and absolutely not because of the snoring. I assume he meant someone elses snoring, because I do not snore, and the snoring I don't do does not sound like a puft being run through a thermoregulator. This is true and also not false.

 

Regardless of any loquacious descriptions of purely hypothetical snoring, this is a Wise Decision.  With comfortable, uninterrupted sleep I will be refreshed every morning for the days work, and my already invaluable and irreplaceable contribution to the colony will be of an even higher standard.

 

This appeases me, and I will remember it. When we inevitably run out of food and have to resort to cannibalism, Kabrute will not be the first person I eat. That will be ColBBQ instead.

With a heavy heart, I suffered an accident and didn't make it.T-Pb_qkXgTWtkm3K72Fr1b21MjWJz6axcbBKtrY5

With this in mind, exosuits are in the plans:

Tried to save the farm from excessive Hydrogen:

So far, I'm buried and both sides have exosuits to prevent further tragedy and most of the hydrogen have been converted to electricity.

GrindthisGame, all yours.  Make my sacrifice worth it.:D

The rules state that the next person has to sign into the thread within 2 days. Given that has not happened for either grindthisgame and amara313 (6 days have passed roughly), we have to assume their forfeited their turn. Furthermore nascarlaser1 is also around that point.

If none of the 3 claim their turn by tomorrow this time, I will pick the colony up from there (as I am next in line).
