Journal: A marvelous tower with a zip line

BASED ON REAL HUMAN EMPLOYEE'S EXPERIENCES
1
Reverse Lobotomy for BURG.L
  • After making my way to the Oak Lab, I needed to do move some things from the water base to the main base, all the while collecting as many acorns as possible.
  • Expanding the fundation of my base while building up more essential tools and structures. Also leveled up my spear a bit for easier bug extermination.
  • Gave BURG.L the SUPER chip I found. Now that he has had his "reverse lobotomy", BURG.L informs me that there is 4 labs in the yard and I basically need to go to all of them to repair the SPAC.R.
  • At the ASL terminal, we can now build way more structures and other fun receipes. Of course I only have some limited science but I bought most of what i considered important for my base currently.
  • It was time to diver deeper into the pond. I went down into a super scary hole and found a T-Rex dino toy along with a lot of amazing shells and bones.
  • Peeping the big koi fish didn't seem to work, not sure if that is an intended thing for not.
  • After sleeping, a dream sequence started, which I assume is a memory of my character. Sure looks like we were forcced into this experiment!

Building up the base
  • I started getting annoyed at not being able to jump out of the water, so I tried building stairs down into the water. It didn't work.
  • Fighting bombardier beetles for their parts that I need to build the next items sets for my base. These guys are kind of a pain with their AOE posion spit. I found it's kind of easiest to just ran at them and try to take them close quarters.
  • After a long amount of time chopping, collecting, and building my based I finally have walls and a second floor on the way. Along with a little patio on the side for the garden and dew catcher.

Tower of zip lining complete
  • After doing a couple of resource runs, collecting bug parts and other things needed for the base I decided to try my hand at making an elavator so I can zipline to different parts of the map easily. It was not working out that well. It kept boucing me backwards, usually to a nice amount of fall damage.
  • My second floor is coming along, I decided that my first floor was for all utlity things and the second floor was for any food and crafting.
  • Getting closer to having a super tall tower that I can zipline down. The bouncing from the trampolines is only working some of the time so I needed to build some scaffolding until I figure that out.
  • When builing a giant tower, one must think about getting down, safetly. I forgot to equip a dandilian and the results are death.
Exoskeleton Equip a matching set of Tier 2 armor
Grass Master 2 I'm changing! Acquired the Grass Master 2 mutation.

Pull the lever
  • Finally after actual hours of labor trying to get this to work and attaching the zip line to an anchor. I can now zip on over to the Oak Lab pretty easily.
  • Now that that the tower is done and I zipped all the way over to the Oak Lab, I might as well find this Pond Lab. Diving in I go down by the T-Rex toy and start my exploring and collecting more of these resources.
  • Found a sweet pirate chest, looks like I can open it, just need to find the key.
  • After searching around and probably spending too much time collecting bones, barely made it into the Pond Lab ruins.
  • In the ruined part of the lab, there is a lever to pull. So I pull, turns out I have to turn three other switches to get the system online.

Ran out of Food
  • Found a dead body inside of a part of the lab ruins, seems to have some interesting stuff on them, but I have no idea what it all means.
  • Found my first Milk Molar in some roots also in the ruined lab. 
  • After doing some more underwater excursions, found a tiny tunnel to swim through. Turns out it is filled with spiders. But at the end I found a mossy key! This goes to that big ole pirate chest.
  • bug:pathing:Wolf Spider Stuck - A wolf spider was going back to its resting place but then ended up becoming stuck on my builds. After attacking it however, it ended up jumping and becoming un stuck.
  • I seemed to have run out of food, so I had to go back to the surface to make some and of course encountered a Wolf Spider in the weirdest way.

Building a sweat in the Pond Lab
  • Stocked up again on food and water, I went back down into the depths and open the pirate chest. Found another chip and a Mega Mik Molar. Very nice.
  • Found all the power switches and turned them on, this opened another big door which needs to be explored.
  • Lots of robots and some tricky manuvering through sunken parts of the lab, I ended up at the main lab area.
  • Beefy brussel sprouts, seems to be the main attraction here, these seem to hurt me a bunch and don't really see the benfit for them. Might have to explore these later.
  • Found the SUPER chip for the Pond Lab along with turning on the dome with the amazing workout music.
  • From listening to Wendell's audio tapes, it sounds like Wendell is kind of going off the deep end here. His science is failing and his personal life is in a mess.
