    I suspected that was the case, but since I don't use regular lighting in the base ( that what your flashlight is for), the grow lights are cheap enough. I may take some down and add more plots, right now I can make 3 emergency rations every time I harvest.

    They haven't shown up yet. It's only been a few game days since I placed the Base block. I hope they arrive soon because the hill overhead is a perfect place to snipe incoming drones for XP and profit. :D
    Below is my improvised digger. I put it together as a what-if? after I'd already started excavating. What else could you do with exactly one looted laser drill? The twister is that it works very well for tunneling.

    Got slaughtered by a drone all because I was wandering far and wide because I could not find a single bit of iron. In order to build anything to progress I needed the iron.... And then drone came across the beginning zone all the way to the other side to hunt me down after I restarted from another escape pod. Ironically, I finally found the iron with the restart but now that I had a drone riding my butt around, there was little to nothing I could do except die it seemed.

    Second time now that I took the effort to salvage a HAKON from the Starship Graveyard. This time I had 5 Candidates to chose from;).
    Besides that they had all THE SAME kind of damage they all had the bug of an invisible block...o_O

    Now the CV is save on the ground, re-christened and refitted and also getting a new paint job.

    Today I discovered the new thruster models... not that they are featured in this bp, but they inspired me to update one of my designs. The Desert Mite.

    One thing I like about a new game version, it makes you rethink your builds.

    ... which made me wonder why I build my large landing pad out of 4 layers of concrete blocks.
    I have been removing blocks like crazy, carving out 2-block tall & 3 block wide passageways throughout the landing pad so it uses less materials.

    So far I have removed over 4,406 blocks, and the SI view is still green. Even after reloading the game.
    ... and this was started because I wanted to add a med-bay and got the gears turning.

    Good idea! I'll add a turret and see if that encourages them. I need those drone parts!
    EDIT: I copied the save then built a minibase with a turret close by. A drone attack followed within minutes of powering it up. I'm going to load the original save and continue without the minibase to see what happens.

    I'm really having some major creative block on this build here. Something just feels off, but I'm struggling on what it is and how to improve it.
    The main inspiration I'm using for this is the Bt7-Thunderclap, but perhaps I should mix in more diverse design elements...

    I'm in need of some feedback.

    After 1st warp, on that planet, there is....

    My sanity point got worn down, in real side. I felt spiritual fear. How frightening it is.... Was Empyrion a horror game?

    I will avoid talking a lot About this.... I guess everyone probably already is experiencing, or will be experiens from now.

    I'd appreciate a pic of it by itself so that I can see the lines a bit better. :)

    Started a new game. Not much I could do in the one except die with that drone all over me. This time it there was plenty of iron and copper but I had to go far and wide to find some silicon. My first silicon ore found went to building the portable constructor.

    While I am no fan of the game bike from past experiences, I had to accept the necessary evil to get around. That and I made the portable constructor a waypoint so I could find my way back. If you look real carefully at the hillside, you can see the waypoint for the other side.

    Still struggling to get silicon, so I started digging down through some of the layers to see if I could find stone to convert because I had explored the entire starter zone with no luck. My first find of silicon had been in the nearby forest. Turns out there wasn't much in that forest, nor in most of the regions near the starter zone. Just enough to get started it seems. So down I drilled with an actual hand drill, the second thing I had made. Of course, the chainsaw was the third item made, so I am not short on fuel from the nearby forests. But getting the silicon seems to be a grind. Nothing in any quantity nearby so now I have a rock quarry near the portable constructor.

    I made good progress on my Cylon Basestar today. I think the Engineering and hangar decks are done. I'm working on the command deck now. I might need to take a break though. I've been doing another pass on each of the sections there but I've run out of ideas for the moment.

    Nice workaround for a tough start. Some games I have more than enough Si and in others I'm scratching for it.

    Made it to the ice planet for some Nd and Sa... Zirax patrols and ice golems required one to drill and one to guard. Jumped from level 16 to halfway through 18. The sniper rifle's much more fun now with the patrols.. but the T1 needs a higher base damage. The progression's off, compared to other weapons

    Had to stock up on meds before we set out, looking for aloe also got me a nice view in the starter planet's savanna
