****EN MADE IT LADS. SALAMI! OXYGEN!

haha brilliant

HOME, NO DEATHS BOOK IT CRUCIAL

9 medikits left, so had about about 4-5 min to spare. oxygen was about to run out too

need a lie down now

More tension ITT than there was in the first Alien movie!

5*

alright after doing some tests i think my little calamity was the result of a bug. when you try to exit the controls while moving you're supposed to get this message:



but if you're going above a certain speed (>100?) you are able to get up. and you fly out the back of your ship even if its made of solid steel. the game still seems to think you're in the ship and if you place a block it will appear on the ship even if you're miles away (i placed a load of blocks in desperation when i was flying away from the galaxy and when i got back to the ship i found them)

have decided to continue to the 'fairly incompetent man blunders his way through space trying to not die' log until i die for the first time on this save. could be in half an hour, could be tomorrow, could be in a week. or i could survive forever? any deaths due to game bugs dont count

Picturing you playing this as Karl Pilkington tbh. Makes this even better. 6*

Unfortunately I can't rate this thread until we get a 6 star option, but keep it up

Dude, how are you building space ships and you haven't unlocked the repair tool yet?

Minor gameplay advice in spoilers, in case you want to figure everything out by yourself.

Spacewalk was A++

marge, meet knack



given that death means death im gonna spend a while building up supplies and making sure i am in a position to withstand anything which space can throw at me prior to the moon trip

Please do play-by-play threads for any game you try BAIDS.

I built a small vessel but then tore it apart to make a hover vehicle as it was easier to operate. Traveling the planet letting my turrets farm meat so I can make a lot of salami. Things don't run or fight back when it is shooting them.

every good galactic survivalist knows that you must be prepared to rain down genocide on your enemies from time to time. thats why a weapons test is of the utmost

there are two contenders in this test, the gatling gun and the rocket launcher

gatling gun



the gatling gun was invented by some yank in the 1800s. mr gatling came up with the weapon as a means of reducing the number of deaths during war. its fair to assume that mr gatling was not the brightest bulb in the box

rocket launcher



the first rocket-based weapons were developed during ww2 (unless you are a pedantic arsehole in which case they were first developed by the chinese in the medieval period). katyusha rocket launchers, pictured in action during the battle of stalingrad, featured extensively on the western front and proved to be a cheap and effective weapon against lightly armoured wermacht forces.

the test will consist of one strafing run of an old oxygen container (pictured)



x marks the spot

the two weapon systems will be graded on the following criteria: rate of fire, damage, environmental damage, intimidation factor, accuracy, reload speed and aesthetic beauty. the weapon will receive a genocide rating based on these factors

the winner of the test will be affixed to hms knack for the moon mission. the tests are scheduled for tomorrow

.

by the time they were finished with the germans they were pretty west

gatling gun test results:





46 bullets fired
40 damage per bullet (theoretical value) = 1840 damage
intimidation factor: high
accuracy: low
aesthetic beauty: high
envrionmental damage: zero, the o2 tank is pristine

genocide rating: 4/10

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

rocket launcher



6 rockets fired
225 damage per rocket = 1350 damage
intimidation factor: low, they look like modern plant pots
accuracy: medium
aesthetic beauty: abysmal
envrionmental damage:



genocide rating: 1/10, you are Gandhi

we're rolling with the gat gun

did consider affixing the indestructible o2 tank to the front of the ship and using it and a battering ram since it appears to be the hardest substance known to man, but the game wont let me and anyway it might obscure the view

I think you should play some Civilization.

didnt know that. 1/10 you are a fluffy kitten

i'm ready for the moon. full inventory for this trip:

75 large bottles of o2
60 small personal-sized bottles of o2, 10 of which must be kept on my person at all times
6 large health packs. emergency use only
25 small health packs
flashlight
minigun + 3500 bullets
drill + 50 drill ammo
repair tool + 40 repair ammo
motorbike
400 rockets for ship-mounted turret
100 large fuel packets
120 space oranges
38 salami
34 ahax fruit
28 seaweed snacks
10x antidote pills
10x antidote injections
survival constructor + 50 bars of all common elements (just in case i need to make a new home on the moon)
1x hms knacker

the objective of the trip is to find some erestrum and some zasosium, with which i can build the largest constructor. and with that i think i can build all sorts of good **** (eg a half decent weapon)

i shall park marge a fair distance away from moon, jump in knack and see if i can scout out a good landing location

moon appears to be featureless and barren. narry a space orange grove in sight

well the wankers have a presence here so there must be something of interest or something of value to nick, else they wouldn't bother.

i am yet to find it however

'ghost rider base', this is a previously unknown breed of wankers

they are shooting mysterious green stuff at me but knack is too maneuverable to be hit by it

was beginning to think this was a wasted trip but not so, i can build a million warp drive widgets with these blue fellas
