crypticorb Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Just a fun thread, I'm curious what everyone decides to name their asteroids, and some inspirations. Here's some of mine, and why: The Unfortunate Panopticon Inescapable Hospital (for outbreak update) Compromised Thermoreality (just after the thermal averaging patch went live, and things were weird.) Moist Acropolis Budget Hobbit Hole 9.75 Rock from the Sun Rubbish Displacement Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterStuffed Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Several variations of the word Krunk Grunk, Hunk, Krank, Jank etc Was the first thing that popped into my head and I kept the naming convention for no particular reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzionut Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 1 utopia (only pacifist dupes) 2 partariada (translation - fartopia - only flatulent dupes) 3 bunker (various dupes) 4 Several game named "acasa" (translation - home) - various dupes 5 Infectopolis (first game after outbreak) 6 I'll be back (no more sand, lots of clean water, no polluted water) 7 Colony (game abandoned because of the heat problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ema2008 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I always put "Diner" somewhere in the name, like "The Diner Colony" or "The Diner Labs" and name all of my dupes after food. Dunno where this came from, it just happened one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher-7 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Last one I did for the rocket upgrade was named “The Apollo Project” all dupes were named after astronauts from the Apollo missions. Naturally Neil was the first dupe to land on a foreign asteroid. The requirements for me to take any “Astronauts” was minimum +5 learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoma_Nosme Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Long time ago I've build a ph2o base...everybody was pissing and puking till they drop...I gave this base the name ''devil's outhouse'' It wasn't very sustainable... One time I only took flatulent dupes...the base was called ''high pressure pig house'' Another time I went for flatulent dupes as well and called it ''no fumar por favor'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentry Neko Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I make the name a reference to one famous work, so I always name it like "The World" or "The Stardust Colony", or "Crazy Bizarre Town" (if i play with high stress settings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToiDiaeRaRIsuOy Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Mine was generated: the contagious abyss. Given I had to deal with sick dupes a lot in the early cycles, it does seem appropiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejams Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I play a miserable/fatalistic, no starting dupe re-roll asteroid auto-named Death Hospital. So off course, one of my starting dupes was Biohazardous He is still alive 150 cycles later, but saving him sure changed my priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slvrsrfr Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The names typically are pretty good. The randomizer is pretty good and varied. One problem tho' is it will sometimes come-up with the same name, which leads to overwriting the older file with the new version, which is to be expected. But there is no warning, and no dialog mentioning the possibility that it will over-write an existing file. Which might be a bug, but still WAI. LC, I cannot for some reason bring myself to play any other version of the game, I'm brain-stuck on Luxury Cosmos. I've nearly not even played the game, except for LC. I'm unable to allow myself to use any other map, or play any other style. It tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
