Welcome to WORLD!! You are STARKEY.

You have been tasked with a MISSION. A MISSION of GREAT IMPORTANCE.

The MISSION is to COLONISE WORLD. This is SORT OF DIFFICULT given there is only STARKEY. The MISSION involves DISCOVERY, INVENTION, and DEVELOPMENT of WORLD into a TOTALLY AMAZING HABITABLE PLACE.

Your SPACESHIP is currently EMPTY and is PRETTY MUCH USELESS right now.

STARKEY doesn't even know where to begin!

---

STARKEY can do ONE ACTION today. Travelling is tiring!

- Invent a MACHINE
-- For every use the machine has, it will have a flaw! You can give uses, but flaws are out of your control!

- Discover a MATERIAL
-- A material can have positive and negative properties up to a maximum of three, but must be paired!

- Build a STRUCTURE
-- Structures must be made of stockpiled materials! The materials that go into the structures will determine what that structure can do, and up to 10 units of mixed materials can be used!

STARKEY invents a CLONING MACHINE, using SPARE MATERIALS on board the SPACESHIP!

CLONING MACHINE:
Use: Makes a new STARKEY!
Flaw: Requires ONE MATERIAL UNIT per use! MATERIAL may affect STARKEY!

STARKEY crawls back into STARKEY'S SPACESHIP to sleep through the night!

---

STARKEY wakes up!

There is a SPACESHIP and a CLONING MACHINE.

STARKEY can do TWO THINGS today! And now they are different!

STARKEY can look for, discover or otherwise find a MATERIAL or make a new MACHINE. Turns out STRUCTURES and MACHINES are basically a matter of perspective! Also, STARKEY can figure out if some things need to be built. STARKEY isn't that dumb!

STARKEY hopes that STARKEY finds a food some day.

No. 593178 ID: 445ff6

Discover a new MATERIAL, namely FOODNIUM!

Positive: Can be eaten for sustenance!
Negative: Is a terrible building material!

Also it tastes pretty bad...
>>
No. 593179 ID: 8b533b

Search for material! Preferably, food material.

Second priority, material that can feed the cloning machine. Food material might work for this as well.

Discover a material: Beef Ore
Positive: Edible, Negative: Can rot

593187

STARKEY finds TWO MATERIALS!

GOOP:
Use: Edible! Drinkable!
Flaw: Moves on its own!

Goop seems to be found in the ground. STARKEY has found a GOOP CREVICE. FUTURE RESEARCH might be able to determine if there is a DEEPER SOURCE.

STARKEY can get ONE UNIT of GOOP per harvest.

STONIUM:
Use: Good construction material!
Flaw: Heavy!

Stonium is a white material that apparently makes up a lot of the ground! Stonium can be MINED but it will affect the GROUND SURFACE. It is also very heavy! It will take a FULL DAY for STARKEY to transport ONE UNIT of STONIUM anywhere it needs to go, without assistance!

STARKEY heads to sleep.

---

STARKEY wakes up!

There is a SPACESHIP and a CLONING MACHINE.
Known resources are GOOP and STONIUM.
There are no supplies in storage.

STARKEY sees some new red star in the sky.

STARKEY can do TWO THINGS like yesterday!

- Find MATERIAL
- Make MACHINE
- Harvest GOOP
- Use CLONING MACHINE (costs one material unit)

Or STARKEY can do just ONE THING.

- Mine STONIUM

Neg: Maw can also suck up whole Starkeys.

>>593223
I like your idea, but we can make 2 machines in one day, they both only cost one action!

Replace [harvest goop] order with one of the following:
>[build machine: stonium miner (harvests 1 unit of stonium per day]
or
>[build machine: prospector (allows 1 additional resource to be discovered per day, as a free action)]

STARKEY scoops up ONE GOOP!

It smells more appetising than it looks, but it is not for eating. STARKEY can always eat the LAST RATION on board STARKEY's SPACESHIP for tonight.

STARKEY puts ONE GOOP into the CLONING MACHINE and pushes buttons. The CLONING MACHINE gets to work! Tomorrow, there'll be another STARKEY!

---

When STARKEY wakes up, things look a little different. There is a SECOND STARKEY, which waves, but there is also a RED SPACESHIP.

Each STARKEY can do TWO THINGS!

- Find MATERIAL
- Make MACHINE
- Harvest GOOP
- Use CLONING MACHINE (costs one material unit)

Or a STARKEY can do just ONE THING.

- Mine STONIUM
- Investigate RED SPACESHIP.

Tell the second starkey to harvest some goop so you guys can both eat. Meanwhile we're investigating that spaceship!

I say one should create a goop pump to automatically harvest goop, so we don't have to worry too much about food...and then after we've got that out of the way, do other stuff

STARKEY A puts a thick stripe of GOOP on STARKEY 1's beak for distinction purposes. STARKEY 1 finds it tingly.

STARKEY 1 heads off to obtain 2x GOOPs. As original and rightful leader, STARKEY A does the more interesting thing of CHECKING OUT the RED SPACESHIP.

*KER-BOOM*

*KER-SPACESHIP-OPENING-NOISE*

"ATTENTION NATIVE TURKEY-BASED LIFEFORM OF THIS PLANET! I AM RED OF THE STARS! YOUR WORLD IS NOW MINE TO CONTROL! YOUR... incredibly empty and desolate world."

The thing calling itself RED OF THE STARS looks around.

"Welp, this'll be quick."

STARKEY A is not sure what to do now. The PLAN was WELL CONSTRUCTED but did not factor SPACE INVASIONS into things. STARKEY A hopes STARKEY 1 is doing STARKEY 1's job.

"...you, uh, going to react? You've just been standing like that for two minutes now."

You can only take so many actions in a day. Reacting would limit your ability to be productive, today.

Give Red an appraising look. Does the thing look like it would be good for help, or would it be more useful if you harvested it for raw materials?

STARKEY A decides to APPRAISE RED OF THE STARS.

RED OF THE STARS appears to be WEARING GOGGLES and QUADRUPEDAL and any other skills and capacities are UNKNOWN.

STARKEY A, meanwhile, has SILVERY PLUMAGE, TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, LIMITLESS CREATIVITY and a TENDANCY TO PLACE ODD EMPHASIS ON THINGS.

STARKEY A first corrects RED OF THE STARS's assertion and explains that STARKEY A has come from the stars as well.

"What? Oh, so you're a rival for the conquest of this planet? Bring it on, turkey!"

STARKEY A informs RED OF THE STARS that STARKEY A is called STARKEY. After some hesitation, STARKEY A looks back at STARKEY 1, and explains that STARKEY 1 is also called STARKEY.

"...why does the other one have goop on its beak? Does it know?"

STARKEY A explains that it isn't important and proposes a mutual project of construction and acquisition to turn this barren empty wasteland into something useful for both of their peoples.

RED OF THE STARS shrugs and puts down a flag.

STARKEY A kicks the flag over with very little force.

RED OF THE STARS puts up a bigger flag.

STARKEY 1 is having some minor issues harvesting multiple GOOPs.

Screw him. I propose a new device: GOOP CANNON. The goop appears to be somewhat irritable so let's put it to use by delivering mass quantities of it to our enemies.
>>
No. 605946 ID: 9ddf68

>>605940
STARKEY A, take one of his flags and use it to clone another STARKEY... unless you can grab RED OF THE STARS, then use him for the cloning machine.

STARKEY 1, grab one goop for now and think of what kind of tools would be best for harvesting more goop, a bucket for carrying, something sharp for cutting the goop, or more STARKEYs to help gather the goop.
>>

New invention idea!

We need a Spurgle maker. A machine that produces little swarm bugs to lift objects and move them at the command of a Starkey, can also attack in swarm at the command of a Starkey. The machine is powered by GOOP to make batches of ten. Each spurgle can lift five pounds and can attack with small mandibles, not ideal for war but good in mass.

Waddayathink?

STARKEY 1: Abandon Goop harvest. Develop GOOP HARVESTING MACHINE.
STARKEY A: Rename yourselves either STARKEY A and STARKEY B, or STARKEY 1 and STARKEY 2. Having a 1 and an A is just confusing. Also, ask what RED OF THE STARS will do with the planet now that he has it.
