ROCKS gets through the ring of RADMOEBAS and reaches the TOXIC POND!

DORA is here! They're not in great shape.

DORA's sorry! They shouldn't have run away like that! They thought they'd prove they were clever and smart and right and pretty, and that BLU and ROCKS were wrong but there were RADMOEBAS everywhere and DORA picked fights with them and that made their PARTS started malfunctioning.

Shush it's alright ROCKS tells them.

DORA's CHEM LASER ARM and HOVER LEGS are malfunctioning. DORA has mutated! DORA's SQUIGGLY TAIL has upgraded into a SURGING SQUIGGLY TAIL. It can carry STUFF and sometimes DORA will be more effective at an ACTION. DORA now has RAD DEPENDENCY - if they don't eat TOXIC WASTE every few days they'll start to malfunction.

It's getting late. The RADMOEBAS don't seem to be as common at the POND itself. Maybe they can't eat TOXIC WASTE?

ROCKS tells DORA about how they buried themselves to stay safe from SCARY THINGS in the night and digs a HOLE for DORA and then themself. They stay snug and safe until the SUN rises.

A RADMOEBA invades the WARREN during the NIGHT. The SPIKE TRAP gives BLU some warning, but they get stung as they pop it. BLU transfers the TOXIC WASTE it leaves behind into a BUCKET.

DAY SIXTEEN on PLANET has begun.

DORA and ROCKS are ready to start their homeward JOURNEY.

You have ONE ANCIENT GLASS, NINE WATER, TWO VOLATILE VINES, ONE AMBER SAP, FIVE BRICKS and ONE TOXIC WASTE.

BLU needs to REST today. BLU needs to eat if they want to keep making EGGS. ROCKS should rest, but they aren't HOME yet. DORA and ROCKS can take ONE ACTION today as they head HOME. ROCKS is hungry.

EXPLORE: Look for STUFF with a specific useful TRAIT. It's easier to find STUFF if you don't mind a DOWNSIDE.
BUILD: Can you make anything out of BRICKS, VINES, GLASS or SAP?
USE MACHINE: Is there anything you can do with an OVEN?
DIG: It makes HOLES. You might find STUFF.
GATHER: There's some VOLATILE VINES, TOXIC WASTE, ANCIENT GLASS and AMBER SAP a way away.
UPGRADE: Nothing to upgrade with.
LAY EGG: BLU is full of eggs! BLU has FOUR EGGS ready to lay, but needs to REST.
ZAP WAND: Is there anything you can zap with a TWIG WAND?
CHEM LASER: Is there anything you want to turn into TOXIC WASTE?

You can try other things too if you think it'd help!

ROCKS and DORA, please try to gather any vines you spot on your way back, if it's safe to do so.
BLU, eat and rest, we're probably going to be relying on your yolkies for a while so the other two can rest when they get back.

ROCKS and DORA try to bring as many sticky things as you can find back with you

Rocks and Dora, BUILD disguises out of amber and mud and sticks and rocks so you don’t look like obvious targets when resting. See you soon!

>>1002332
ROCKS and DORA: rest. You need to recover before you can push through the ring of mobs.
BLU: Lay eggs. Tomorrow we can try to send them towards the toxic pond with some vine supplies.

Before you two GO BACK HOME, about this place: Can you return easily? Is there anything obvious that's interesting? Is it peaceful enough for a REST STOP, or a new WARREN, to STORE items? Is the TOXIC WASTE a big problem for that, or can you do something about that?

>>1002334
This.

>>1002339
I don't think they can do that, since all of that stuff is back home with Blu.

Why is everyone suggesting we send the critically injured REPTEKAS back through the monster gauntlet?!

>>1002349
Because the post explicitly says they can't rest and recover when they're not home. Either we send them back, or they never get back. Unless you think BLU can mount a rescue operation.

Well if they absolutely can't rest, they should at least gather some ancient glass.

BLU rests today. They're having trouble moving around the WARREN so that's probably for the best. BLU can't fit through the WARREN ENTRANCE. BLU is embarrassed.

DORA and ROCKS leave the TOXIC POND, ready to face the RADMOEBAS. They feel much safer together! RADMOEBAS are popped but DORA's SURGING SQUIGGLY TAIL starts malfunctioning. ROCKS got a nasty sting on their malfunctioning LONG BODY again. DORA is worried but ROCKS says getting them both HOME is what matters.

DORA sees a few VOLATILE VINES in the distance with their SPOTTER HEAD. Your REPTEKAS detour towards it. There's not many VINES so DORA and ROCKS try not strip it back too much. There's some leftover TOXIC WASTE from a popped RADMOEBA here too.

They eat their fill and ROCKS finds some TECH SCRAPS buried nearby. DORA and ROCKS gather up FOUR VOLATILE VINES to take with them in their HEADS, ARMS and DORA's TAIL. Malfunctioning BUCKET and HANDY functions means ROCKS can't carry as much as usual.

DORA and ROCKS are HOME! Your REPTEKAS are all happy to see each other!

ROCKS has collapsed!

Your REPTEKAS drag ROCKS into the WARREN to make them comfortable. DORA didn't know ROCKS was so worn out! BLU tells DORA it'll be fine, they're all back together now.

DAY SEVENTEEN on PLANET has begun.

It's another clear day. Your REPTEKAS are subdued.

You have ONE ANCIENT GLASS, NINE WATER, FIVE VOLATILE VINES, ONE AMBER SAP, FIVE BRICKS, ONE TOXIC WASTE and ONE TECH SCRAPS.

BLU can take ONE ACTION today. BLU needs to eat to keep making EGGS. DORA should REST but maybe they can do something easy around the WARREN. ROCKS is still sleeping...

>>1002373
BLU: Lay eggs.
DORA: rest.

BLU: Lay all the eggs. One might make a good pillow for Rocks.
Dora: Thread some vines and bricks into a belt to transfer the rotational energy.

Oh just so people know, the wiki page has a current PARTS list:

>BLU can't fit through the WARREN ENTRANCE. BLU is embarrassed.
At least you’re not stuck outside the Warren.

>>1002373
After everything they did, Rocks deserves those Tech Scraps! So save those for when Rocks wakes up.

>What do?
Blu: Eat and lay all of your eggs.

Dora: Eat and rest.

BLU lays THREE EGGS and admires them. What a relief. It's the same as their old record. BLU thinks they can lay a maximum of THREE EGGS with their current PARTS so they'll need help to break it. DORA thinks the EGGS are as round as BLU was. They'll hatch tomorrow. BLU munches on some VINES as they rest.

Your REPTEKAS leave the EGGS down with ROCKS to keep them company. The WARREN is cozy but a bit cramped with all THREE REPTEKAS in there.

DORA rests. It's nice to have some TIME to relax. Lots of PLACES could be HOME and that's where they are now.

DAY EIGHTEEN on PLANET has begun.

BLU's feeling extra wriggly and DORA is back on their HOVER NUBS.

You have ONE ANCIENT GLASS, NINE WATER, FOUR VOLATILE VINES, ONE AMBER SAP, FIVE BRICKS, ONE TOXIC WASTE and ONE TECH SCRAPS.

BLU and DORA can take ONE ACTION today. BLU needs to eat to keep making EGGS. DORA has some malfunctioning PARTS but is up for anything. DORA would like some TOXIC WASTE. ROCKS is still sleeping...

THREE YOLKIES hatch today and can assist your REPTEKAS.

You can try other things too if you think it'd help!

I wonder if it isn't possible to put a VOLATILE VINE into ROCKS mouth and help ROCKS chew it. That might help ROCKS feel better.

>>1002406
DORA: EXPLORE, look around the toxic waste site to see if you can find where the radmoebas are coming from. Maybe follow the glass to see where it leads? Pop a radmoeba to drink its fluids while you're out there. Bring a couple of yolkies for safety.

Can BLU make a MACERATOR that can use rotational energy from the windmill to grind things up? Or a GRINDER to sharpen/reshape things? Have a yolkie help out.

>>1002406
DORA can have some TOXIC WASTE, but only a half portion. MIX it with some VINES to space it out!

DORA should think about why they wanted to pick fights with the RADMOBAE, and where they found the most at once. Is there a way to fight them without getting too close?

>>1002408
A Macerator sounds great! Maybe a one with a bowl and quern could be used to mix liquids too.. GLASS sounds like an ideal material.

DORA: Explore and try to find where those rude goos are coming from! Bring a couple yolkies with you for safety.
BLU: The warren is still a bit cramped, maybe you can DIG out some more space? The last yolky can assist.

Dora: Light Gathering duty, vines.
Blu: Lay eggs again. Plan for a burst of activity.

>>1002406
It’s confirmed, Blu makes a good pillow.

>DORA would like some TOXIC WASTE.
Would you mind waiting just one more day? You can have 1 Toxic Waste tomorrow.

>What do?
Blu: Build a Macerator. Have 1 Yolky help you.

Dora: Explore. Try to find a new source of food. Bring 2 Yolkies with you.

>>1002408
>>1002415
>Find where the Radmoebas are coming from.
Didn’t we already determine that the Radmoebas were coming from the Toxic Pond?

Also I’d rather not send Dora back to the Toxic Pond so soon after getting back from there. They’re still malfunctioning a little, so it might be best to avoid fighting for now.

>>1002422
From what I can recall that was a location Dora tried searching, but didn't get any confirmation. It might be safer to have Dora gather but- I feel like we need to figure out a better solution to the radmoeba if our Repetakas are to get any respite.

We could try relocating but we're invested enough in our current location that it's probably not worth it over making this place more defensible or dealing with whatever's making the rude goos.

>>1002373
BLU really needs to lay her eggs - with the others indisposed, Yolkies would be very useful!
DORA should rest, but perhaps expand the warrens if she feels up to it - you must make a vast and grand underground empire! You will become the KINGS of CAVE LIZARD ARCHITECTURE!

>>1002488
Do this

Hmm. If a large bowl or vat or cauldron or barrel was made, we could mix say two units of water with one unit of toxic waste to make dilute toxic waste, so Does could get thier daily fix without mutating.

>>1002548
This sounds like a good idea, but I've noticed that the Reptekas don't seem to want to drink water. They've consistently been ignoring any part of a suggestion that includes drinking it, even if they follow the rest of it.

>>1002599
I'm that case a macerator/crusher/mill would be best.
Two parts fuel from the vines + one toxic waste might do the trick

YOLKY.egg rA.0.3, YOLKY.egg rB.0.3 and YOLKY.egg rC.0.2 are ready to help!

BLU works on making a MACERATOR. It'll grind STUFF up so they can mix STUFF together!

It has AXLES made out of ANCIENT GLASS and BLU chewed up some BRICKS and stuck them together with the last of the AMBER SAP to make a WHEEL. BLU strings it to the WINDMILL with some VINES. It seems a bit wobbly and rickety but BLU watches it rattle away as they eat some VINES. BLU thinks they need different STUFF to make a better MACERATOR.

DORA decides to try and save the TOXIC WASTE for later and digs along with the YOLKIES. They expand the STORAGE AREA and make the WARREN a little longer, careful not to disturb ROCKS. If they dig out much more, it might collapse. DORA puts some VINES in ROCKS' mouth and tries to get them to chew them up. Would ROCKS get hungry from just sleeping, DORA wonders.

The extra room lets them squeeze in the YOLKIES that NIGHT. Your REPTEKAS and YOLKIES all sleep as soundly as ROCKS.

DAY NINETEEN on PLANET has begun.

BLU is happy to have so many FRIENDS around. DORA's PARTS are all fully functional. DORA is feeling at 110%!

You have NINE WATER, ONE VOLATILE VINES, THREE BRICKS, FOUR DIRT, ONE TOXIC WASTE and ONE TECH SCRAPS.

BLU and DORA can take ONE ACTION today. BLU needs to eat to keep making EGGS. DORA is craving some TOXIC WASTE. ROCKS is still sleeping...

EXPLORE: Look for STUFF with a specific useful TRAIT. It's easier to find STUFF if you don't mind a DOWNSIDE.

Turn a dirt into toxic waste

Hm, we're running low on food and we're out of sap to reinforce the warren. Let's get some more.
Dora: Have some rad juice. Take all the yolkies and gather up some more vines.
Blu: Have some food. Lay, it is time for more e g g.

DORA: GATHER some more VINES or SAP.

BLU: LAY EGGS. It's optimal that you lay your eggs every time your YOLKYs hatch.

Idea: Does BLU remember what SAP tastes like? Would it be possible to upgrade his mouth to recreate it and other substances, using FOOD or EGGS?

>>1002817
DORA can have some toxic waste today. Good job managing your addiction! Also, go fetch some more vines, with yolky help.
BLU should lay eggs today.

Dora: explore for new stuff, shinier rocks for Rocks.
Blu: Go gather more vines with yolkies.

>>1002817
BLU: Got egg, so lay 'em!
DORA: DELVE DEEPER! WHAT SECRETS DOES THE DEEPEST EARTH HOLD?!

>>1002817
Dora is allowed to have their toxic waste today. They should explore for a new type of food for us to eat.

Blu should have some yolkies jump on their belly to make the eggs combine into a big egg. Then Blu can lay the big egg.

BLU eats the last of the VINES and lays another THREE EGGS. BLU leaves them with ROCKS to keep them company. BLU has finished processing the TOXIC WASTE they ate a WEEK ago.

DORA picks some DIRT and melts it into TOXIC WASTE with their CHEM LASER. DORA slurps it down. It still tastes a little like DIRT and a little like HOME but mostly like TOXIC WASTE. DORA loves it.

DORA goes with the YOLKIES to gather some VOLATILE VINES but most of the VINES are gone...

There's patches of TOXIC WASTE from popped RADMOEBAS surrounding it. Did they get so hungry they burst? Do REPTEKAS burst if they get too hungry?

DORA doesn't dwell on these scary thoughts and gathers the last of the VINES with the YOLKIES. The VOLATILE VINES were growing over a RIGID FRAME made out of new STUFF. Only DORA's CHEM LASER is strong enough to cut it.

You discover RUIN METAL. A ductile material that's extremely tough.

A YOLKIE finds some TECH SCRAPS in amidst the FRAME. DORA and the YOLKIES also bring back THREE VOLATILE VINES and TWO RUINS METAL. There are no more VOLATILE VINES at this site.

A RADMOEBA enters the WARREN that night, but but pokes itself on the GLASS SPIKE and DORA's CHEM LASER pops it.

DORA has trouble sleeping. BLU explains to DORA that REPTEKAS go into STASIS if they don't eat and DORA settles down to sleep.

DAY TWENTY on PLANET has begun.

ROCKS has woken up! Your REPTEKAS are ecstatic!

You have NINE WATER, ONE VOLATILE VINES, THREE BRICKS, FOUR DIRT, ONE TOXIC WASTE and ONE TECH SCRAPS.

Each REPTEKA can take ONE ACTION today. BLU needs to eat to keep making EGGS. ROCKS is a little peckish.

EXPLORE: Look for STUFF with a specific useful TRAIT. It's easier to find STUFF if you don't mind a DOWNSIDE.
BUILD: Can you make anything out of BRICKS, VINES, or DIRT?

UPGRADE: Add a new BASIC PART or think of an upgrade for an existing PART. You have TWO TECH SCRAPS.
LAY EGG: BLU has a few EGGS. TWO EGGS are ready to lay.
ZAP WAND: Is there anything you can zap with a TWIG WAND?
CHEM LASER (FREE): Is there anything DORA should turn into TOXIC WASTE?

SIX YOLKIES can assist your REPTEKAS.

You can try other things too if you think it'd help!

>>1003727
>ROCKS has woken up! Your REPTEKAS are ecstatic!
Yay! Welcome back Rocks!

>What do?
Upgrade Rocks! Because of how hard they worked to save Dora, they deserve an Upgrade! I think we should improve their Leg Parts!

Upgrade Blu! Use the last Tech Scraps to give them some Basic Legs.

Dora should Explore for a new source of food! Since there aren’t any more Volatile Vines, we need to find something else to eat!

>>1003727
zap a yolky, let's upgrade it

>>1003727
Oh dear. ROCKS and DORA, go explore to find another food source. Bring three yolkies each.

Upgrade BLU with basic arms! Next time, we'll upgrade ROCKS.
ROCKS, food is a priority. Explore with some yolkies and find new flavors of vine!
DORA, cut some more RUINS metal. Maybe new STUFF will be under the new STUFF!

>>1003741
This

>>1003756
>Next time, we'll upgrade ROCKS.
Why wait? We have two tech scraps, so that means we can upgrade both Blu and Rocks right now.

>>1003727
Bury vines in dirt, give them a little toxic waste, and then ZAP them! Have Rocks reinforce the burrow with BRICKS. Upgrade Dora's LEGS with tech scraps.

>>1003759
Hmm... Actually, use water instead of toxic waste. It may be bad for Not-Repteka's.

>>1003759
Yeah, let's try farming that last vine; let's plant and zap it. Might want to just water it instead of giving it waste? Reptekas just mutate, but plants have a tendency to die when exposed to toxic stuff.

>>1003757
So they aren't both idle today!

I think we should give BLU some legs instead of arms, so they can go out and explore with the others. Also, so that we could potentially move to a new base location.
ROCKS should get upgraded arms. Let's go with the tentacle arms we didn't pick!

>>1003781
Do upgrades make them idle? I didn't think so.

>>1003781
Upgrading doesn’t make them idle.
