>Rad Yolky's tantrum
Ok, so if we don't give Rad Yolky what it wants, it'll randomly eat our other things. Good to know.

>Rad Yolky is now Radioactive
And now it's dangerous to be near it. That's not good.

>>1086197
>no one was hurt
That's good. Glad everyone was able to fight off the enemies.

>Rad Yolky demands 4 Toxic Waste
>Rad Yolky might assist your Reptekas
Uh oh, looks like we now have to randomly worry about Rad Yolky not helping us if we don't give it what it wants!

>>1086198
This seems like a good idea, let's do it.

>>1086200
Yeah, I was thinking that. We're not gonna be able to deal with RAD YOLKY when the inevitable happens, so let's just make him the RADMOEBAS's problem. I'm sure this decision won't come back to bite us.

>>1086201
Radiation isn’t dangerous, it’s mutagenic!

Send Rad Yolky off to the waste pools with a necklace of volatile vines. Godspeed, brave warrior!

Rad Yolky is resembling a RADMOEBA more and more! We don't have the resources to keep them fed so might be good idea to point in direction of all the waste they can eat?

Worst case we have to deal with a giant monster Yolky later but maybe it will work out?

Gotta test out stuff somehow?

Build a fence around the volatile vine garden. Maybe a dirt embankment with scrap fence on top will keep radmoebas out. Keep the last vine safe, it'll be a pain in the butt if we have to go gather more from scratch.

Rocks: zap that vine before we loose it too
Blu: build a fence of glass spikes around the vines
Dora: take rad yolky to the toxic pond to gather more glass. Let him stay there to guard and have as much toxic waste as he wants.

>>1086203
>Radiation isn’t dangerous, it’s mutagenic!
For now. There's no guarantee that will remain true forever.

Assuming the cone is hollow we could use it as a pot to boil things. Or at least put it upside down so it fills with water while it's raining.
BLU : Try rebuilding the oven and adding the cone to it.

DORA : Keep cutting into the ruin metal structure.

RAD YOLKY is getting a bit too dangerous. But it is interesting how the TOXIC WASTE seems to sustain it, it should have dissolved by now but instead it keeps growing.
ROCKS : Use TOXIC WASTE to convince RAD YOLKY to follow you to the toxic waste pond. Once there try digging around for unusual things to bring back. Don't bring back RAD YOLKY, he lives at the pond now. Surely nothing bad will come out of this.

So for the price of four TOXIC WASTE, a RAD YOLKIE can last three days. Useful!
However, he's almost as big as a RADMOEBA now, and his personality is volatile.
I think we should PUT HIM DOWN before he becomes DANGEROUS.

We should also pour some toxic waste on our volatile Vines and then zap them to quadrupedal them. We really don't wanna run out.

>>1086197
Dammit, we lost (or ate) almost all our vines... Also I just realized the idea of a vine farm at the toxic waste pools won't work very well because the radmoebas will just eat the vines. We'd have to fortify the location. Still, worth a shot at some point.

DORA: EXPLORE, see if we can find more vines anywhere.
ROCKS: go with Rad Yolky to the toxic waste pools. Gather some toxic waste, but leave Rad Yolky there. They're going to turn into a radmoeba most likely, but we can't really do anything to prevent that except kill it at this point. Are our reptekas capable of that? ...if the Rad Yolky won't stay there, then well, at least it'll eat the demanded waste today. Maybe it stays obedient so long as it's fed properly?
BLU: Eat two toxic waste. UPGRADE, gain basic arms.

Bad yolky!
Blu: Pop the rad yolky to dispose of the little troublemaker.
Dora: Use tech scraps to improve the range on that laser.
Rocks: a new macerator can use the cone to crush things extra good.

Your REPTEKAS wonder if they should just give RAD YOLKY whatever they want to avoid another tantrum.

BLU thinks about popping YOLKIES. BLU's horrified by the thought of hurting one of their precious YOLKIES.

BLUE eats TWO TOXIC WASTE to get those thoughts out of their SNIPPER HEAD. BLU is full of vim and EGGS. BLU asks DORA to melt ONE DIRT and pours the TOXIC WASTE on the last VOLATILE VINES. It heats up and sprouts into THREE.

ROCKS leads RAD YOLKY to the TOXIC POND, saying there's lots of TOXIC WASTE there.

There's some RADMOEBAS on the way to the TOXIC POND but RAD YOLKY makes them go splat. RAD YOLKY gets stung but ROCKS is OK. ROCKS asks if RAD YOLKY is OK. RAD YOLKY say they'll be fine with some more TOXIC WASTE.

At the POND, RAD YOLKY starts gorging on TOXIC WASTE. ROCKS thinks about leaving RAD YOLKY behind...

Your REPTEKAS can't abandon a YOLKY! What if something happens to them?!

RAD YOLKY's full of TOXIC WASTE. RAD YOLKY grows and then grows again. Your YOLKY is enormous!

ROCKS wants to be enormous too. ROCKS eats some TOXIC WASTE. ROCKS is hyperactive! RAD YOLKY is hyperactive! They start digging to find more STUFF.

They dig up LOTS of ANCIENT GLASS and find ANCIENT TECH: BUBBLE WAND TAIL. It channels ANCIENT POWER to do something bubbly. This PART can't be upgraded with TECH SCRAPS.

ROCKS and RAD YOLKY carry NINE ANCIENT GLASS and the BUBBLE WAND TAIL back.

Back at NEW HOME, ROCKS' CRACKLING TWIG WAND splutters and zaps the VOLATILE VINES. They sprout into SIX.

DORA uses some ANCIENT GLASS and a VOLATILE VINES to start on a SPIKY FENCE surround the VOLATILE VINES.

RAD YOLKY keeps glitching as the AFTERNOON passes. ROCKS wonders if they're becoming more unstable. BLU and ROCKS have a lot of excess energy. Your REPTEKAS have trouble sleeping that NIGHT as RAD YOLKY stomps around OUTSIDE.

A RADMOEBA appears but RAD YOLKY splats it before your REPTEKAS have to do anything. ONE TOXIC WASTE is left behind.

DAY THIRTY on PLANET begins.

The RAIN is holding on a bit longer.

You have THREE WATER, FIVE VOLATILE VINES, TWO BRICKS, A LOT OF DIRT, SEVEN AMBER SAP, FIVE RUIN METAL, ONE TOXIC WASTE, SIX ANCIENT GLASS, ONE TECH SCRAPS, a JELLY TAIL PART and a BUBBLE WAND TAIL PART.

Each REPTEKA can take ONE ACTION today. BLU needs to eat TWO FOOD to keep making EGGS. DORA's SPOTTER HEAD is on the fritz, they would like some TOXIC WASTE. RAD YOLKY wants SIX TOXIC WASTE.

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?
USE MACHINE: Is there anything you can do with an OVEN, a WINDMILL, or a CART?
DIG: It makes HOLES. You might find STUFF.
GATHER: There's some RUINS METAL, TOXIC WASTE, ANCIENT GLASS and AMBER SAP a way away. You haven't found a new PLACE for VOLATILE VINES.
UPGRADE: Add a new BASIC PART or think of a way to upgrade an existing PART. You have ONE TECH SCRAPS, a JELLY TAIL and a BUBBLE WAND TAIL.
LAY EGGS: BLU has FIVE EGGS ready to lay.
ZAP WAND: Is there anything ROCKS can zap with a TWIG WAND?
CHEM LASER (1x FREE): Is there anything DORA should turn into TOXIC WASTE?

RAD YOLKY thinks they should be in charge of ACTIONS because they're the biggest and strongest. ONE REPTEKA should take them to the TOXIC POND again. Your OTHER REPTEKAS can do whatever.

BLU is mutating! ROCKS is mutating! Choose one each: Kerplew, Szszsz, Wub.

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

>>1086318
>RAD YOLKY thinks they should be in charge of ACTIONS because they're the biggest and strongest. ONE REPTEKA should take them to the TOXIC POND again. Your OTHER REPTEKAS can do whatever.
Pretty sure this could've been avoided if everyone stopped feeding them toxic waste! But nooo, everyone just had keep voting for feeding them to see what would happen, when we could've stopped this several updates ago!

Now we've gotta figure out how to not let them bully us around.

>mutations
Blu: Wub
Rocks: Kerplew

Huh, Rad Yolky's belly glowing things are different from a Radmoeba. Radmoebas have a disorderly set of glowing dots, but Rad Yolky's dots are ordered. Looks like it's nearing completion too. I'm guessing something will happen.

Chem laser dirt.
DORA: Bring Rad Yolky to the toxic waste, suggest that it eat the very radioactive thing ROCKS down there. Dig a pit or something to shelter yourself in, in case a very large explosion happens. Do this even before it eats regular toxic waste. Eat exactly one toxic waste while you're there; it has been a few days after all.
BLU: lay eggs.
ROCKS: Continue DORA's work on the vine farm's fence.

Mutations: BLU Wub, ROCKS Kerplew.

Hmm, I forget if lizard science is a free action or not, but... can we replace one part with another? Someone could swap out their tail? I can't imagine it's possible to have two tails.

>Rad Yolky is being bossy
That doesn't seem good.

>Blu and Rocks are mutating!
Give Blu the Szszsz and Rocks the Kerplew.

>>1086319
Calm down, there's no need to be so upset.

We've clearly let rad yolky go too far.

Too far to go back, I mean. Take rad yolky to the toxic waste, they know what's best.

Rad yolky is now big enough to eat a repteka. This could be bad.
Dora: take rad yolky to the pond, tell him about the radioactive thing, maybe he'll eat it. Have one toxic waste, as a treat.
Blu: kerplew. Swap out the lure tail for the bubble tail and see what it does.
Rocks: wub. Finish the fence

Hmmm. It's unfortunate but I feel RAD YOLKY is dangerous and maybe should... go elsewhere. Permanently. Maybe they can love at the toxic waste pond? Or maybe they can strike out on their own.

Kerplew! Also replace the lure tail with the new ancient tail as it has proved useless.

>>1086330
That's what we wanted to do, but the reptekas aren't seeing reason.
>Your REPTEKAS can't abandon a YOLKY! What if something happens to them?!
they say, as if RAD YOLKY wasn't bigger and stronger than them

Giant Rad Yolkie has more rad spots than a radmeoba now! It looks like if he eats his fill of toxic waste again he'll TRANSFORM.
take him back to the lake!

Repetkas, you have to know when you let a yolky go! Yolkies are ephemeral, you should know that! You had to leave them at the lake.

>>1086335
Agreed, RAD YOLKY can only survive and thrive in the toxic waste pool, not with you. Insisting on keeping RAD YOLKY with you will only hurt you all.

RAD YOLKY gets to decide whether to stay with you or not because they're the biggest and strongest.

RAD YOLKY is becoming a big problem. You need to get rid of it one way or another, and quick, before it becomes YOLKZILLA. If you don't feed it it will eat something or someone you care about. If you feed it you'll make it way worse. You need to act before it's too late.
Best option would be just attacking it by surprise, three against one. Second best would be abandoning it somewhere far away. DORA could take it to your old warren, pretend you need to take something there before going to the toxic pond, and then flee while it retrieves something in the tunnel.
Whatever you do, do not feed it, and do not take it to the toxic pond.

BLU : wub
ROCKS : kerplew

Oh, here's a way to leave Rad Yolkie at the toxic waste pools without feeling bad about it: come back every now and then to check up on it.

Wub! BLU has mutated LEAKY LEGS. They can suck up FLUIDS! Sometimes they leak TOXIC WASTE. BLU's LEGS have been having trouble keeping up with their BODY, how lucky!

Kerplow! ROCKS has mutated an extra PAIR of STINGY ARMS. Full of stingy ENERGY! They can carry STUFF but might melt it. ROCKS thinks their pretty but hope this doesn't cause any stingy HUGS.

BLUE eats some VINES. So many EGGS, BLU! BLU thinks about changing their TAIL. Using a MACHINE for REPTEKA MAINTENANCE would be better, but if BLU's careful they might snip off their LURE TAIL. It's a struggle, but BLU's as cool as an error: UNDISCOVERED VEGETABLE, and manages to disconnect it without snipping anything important. BLU plugs in the BUBBLE WAND TAIL.

The LURE TAIL is decaying.

DORA's not sure how they feel about RAD YOLKY being so bossy, but leads RAD YOLKY to the TOXIC POND. DORA sips some TOXIC WASTE and then points out the HOLE that ROCKS fell in. There's IRRADIUM in there, maybe it's delicious?

RAD YOLKY starts snuffling around for it and DORA starts digging. They're not sure why, but it seems playing in a HOLE might be a good idea?

RAD YOLKY chomps down on the IRRADIUM and -

error: ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE DETECTED

ROCKS uses one of the VOLATILE VINES to fuel the OVEN, and finishes the GLASS SPIKES needed for a FENCE around the VINES. ROCKS happily starts sticking them in the DIRT.

ROCKS' CRACKLING TWING WAND TAIL fires off by itself and hits the TOXIC WASTE left behind by LAST NIGHT's RADMOEBA. It multiplies furiously, ROCKS worries it'll going to turn back into a RADMOEBA for a moment, but all that happens is it turns into FOUR TOXIC WASTE. TOXIC WASTE sure is good at spreading ROCKS thinks.

It's coming on to NIGHT, but there's no sign of DORA or the RAD YOLKY? Should BLU and ROCKS go looking for them? It might be dangerous, LOTS of RADMOEBAS come out at NIGHT!

We should probably investigate to see if DORA is injured or otherwise needs our help!

DORA could be knocked out at the pool! We gotta save them but if we all leave the base would be undefended and all of our vines and nice stuff could get trashed!

Lets hope being good to RAD YOLKY means it will guard Dora? Or maybe with the glass fence one core can stay behind?

I think we may have replaced our radmoeba problem with another one. We should go check out what happened.
BLU isn't very good at moving anymore, so ROCKS will have to do it.

Always use the CRACKLING TWIG WAND TAIL once every day, or it might go off on its own!

Also discover that snippy vegetable!

>>1086392
That takes an action though. So far the zapping has been beneficial, even the toxic waste multiplication. We just need to make sure to use up the toxic waste on the vines or eat it, so that we don't have too much laying around. We could also store toxic waste underground so the wand can't zap it?

>>1086386
ROCKS and BLU can go together, should be safe enough. Maybe they'll take some damage but it won't be as bad as ROCKS's solo rescue. Maybe we can take the cart as well in case DORA can't move?

Both of you refused to deal with Rad Yolky before, so you owe it to Dora to go now. Be sure to give any radmoebas you see stingy hugs, Rocks!

If lots of radmeobas come out, then that means Dora and Rad Yolkie are stuck fighting them by themselves! We know where they went, the toxic waste pool! There's even more radmeobas there!
We gotta help them!
We need to go

Oh no, oh dear, they shouldn't split up, but Blu is so full of egg. Blu, use the cart to push yourself along.
Hurry to the pond and make sure Dora is okay you two.

Your REPTEKAS can't leave DORA and RAD YOLKY stuck somewhere! BLU and ROCKS set off. BLU's LEAKY LEGS are stronger, but they use the CART too just in case it's needed.

RADMOEBAS are everywhere TONIGHT. Your REPTEKAS have to circle around BIG PUDDLES too. They think they see a SCARY THING in the DISTANCE too. Why is it so tall?!

BLU blows BUBBLES at the RADMOEBAS. The RADMOEBAS try to grab BUBBLES with their stinging CILIA. ROCKS' LONG BODY helps wiggle out of the way but your REPTEKAS both get stung.

BLU's SNIPPER HEAD pops RADMOEBAS with just TWO CHOMPS. ROCKS' STINGY ARMS just take TWO POKES as well. ROCKS doesn't stingy HUG RADMOEBAS, HUGS are supposed to be nice.

A RADMOBEA melts one of the CART'S WHEELS. Your REPTEKAS have to abandon the CART.

Phew, the RADDY LONG-LEGS doesn't come any closer.

At the OUTSKIRTS of the TOXIC POND, your REPTEKAS find each other!

There's lots of popped RADMOEBAS about. Was something drawing them back to the POND?

DORA is in bad shape.

RAD YOLKY got bigger! RAD YOLKY's BODY has regressed. RAD YOLKY has been stung a LOT. RAD YOLKY is very shakey.

RAD YOLKY is drooling something.

You discovered CORRUPT DINODATA. Important STUFF for DINOSAUR TECHNOLOGY, including REPTEKA CORES. These DINODATUMS are buggy?

RAD YOLKY is no longer RADIOACTIVE: RAD YOLKY'S thick SHELLCODE is shielding their RADIOACTIVE GUTS.

DORA explains that RAD YOLKY ate the IRRADIUM and almost blew up. Then they got fat and are full of this WEIRD STUFF.

BLU tells DORA it's DINODATA. For YOLKIES and other COOL STUFF. DORA says BLU is so smart.

RAD YOLKY is sorry they were so BIG HEADED! They got too carried away with being BIG!

DORA is sorry they told RAD YOLKY to eat something that might blow them up!

ROCKS is shocked that DORA said to eat something that might make SOMEONE blow up!

After that happened, LOTS of RADMOEBAS turned up. DORA had to stay to keep RAD YOLKY safe.

What can your REPTEKAS do now? RAD YOLKY and DORA can barely move.

What if they leave RAD YOLKY, RAD YOLKY suggests. But then RAD YOLKY would probably get popped by RADMOEBAS.

BLU refuses, they can't SAVE a YOLKY with no REPTEKAS around!

They could make RAD YOLKY lie on their side and roll them HOME, DORA says. ROCKS likes this idea, but it might take a WEEK!

ROCKS says BLU is the biggest REPTEKA so what if they make BLU even bigger to drag RAD YOLKY back?

BLU says they don't have LOTS of TECH SCRAPS for that.

Oh, oh what if BLU makes a lot of YOLKIES, DORA suggests.

That needs LOTS too, ROCKS thinks. What if they make RAD YOLKY smaller too?

DORA asks how to do that. ROCKS doesn't know!

DAY THIRTY-ONE on PLANET begins.

You have YOUR WITS. There's DIRT and TOXIC WASTE scattered about. There is ONE CORRUPT DINODATA.

Each REPTEKA can take ONE ACTION today. BLUE and ROCKS are tired. BLU's SNIPPER HEAD is malfunctioning. BLU needs to eat to make EGGS. ROCKS' HANDY ARMS and CRACKLING TWIG WAND TAIL are malfunctioning. DORA's BASIC BODY and HOVER LEGS are severely malfunctioning. RAD YOLKY has been stung a LOT.

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 DIRT, TOXIC WASTE or CORRUPT DINODATA?
DIG: It makes HOLES. You might find STUFF.
GATHER: There's some RUINS METAL, TOXIC WASTE, ANCIENT GLASS, AMBER SAP and your STUFF a way away. You might have to fight RADMOEBAS.
LAY EGGS: BLU has SEVEN EGGS ready to lay.
ZAP WAND: Is there anything to zap with a TWIG WAND or a BUBBLE WAND?
CHEM LASER (1x FREE): Is there anything DORA should turn into TOXIC WASTE?

RAD YOLKY wants to help... but can't do much.

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

Rad yolky is real big, Blu is also big but can't move much. But what we do know is Blu can make a big yolky, but rad yolky is big enough that we probably need a real big yolky to help move them, or multiple big yolkies!

So, we need to feed blu, make more eggs, make the biggest yolky to move rad yolky! But where can we get food here?

BLU, ROCKS, DORA: Everyone start digging. We need to make a hole big enough for a shelter, AND we need to get enough dirt to cover Rad Yolky to hide them from the Radmoebas at night.

>>1086486
TOXIC WASTE is food. However, it is ADDICTIVE and it gives a lot of energy so it might wind up preventing sleep.

I guess if our tired Reptekas ate some then it would counteract the tiredness during the workday?

As far as food goes... I wonder what happens if you zap amber sap with a twig wand, or mix it with something energetic? Sap or syrup can be edible.

You could hatch a second YOLKY in TOXIC WASTE! If there's enough TOXIC WASTE, it could grow big enough to roll RAD YOLKY ALPHA back to base. It might grow too big though, and there might not be enough TOXIC WASTE for both of them!

BLU already has seven EGGS, perhaps she can combine them into one big giant egg?

The idea of burying RAD YOLKY in DIRT so the RAD AMOEBAS cannot find them is a good one. Where is RAD YOLKY going to get more TOXIC WASTE though? Will they be able to dissipate, if they stop eating TOXIC WASTE?

You are at the toxic waste pond, are there any glass shards left?
Blu and Rocks: make a rough dirt wall, lined with glass. That way you'll only need to defend in less directions come the night.
Dora and Yolky: rest up, you'll need your strength. Dora can poke at the Dinodata a bit, see if she can learn anything of it.

Hmm I wonder if Rad Yolky could get smaller if it puked up more of that dinodata?
Or we could do the same thing we got Big Yolkies from, and have everyone squeeze Rad Yolky to compress whatever's in its belly?

>>1086486
>we probably need a real big yolky to help move them, or multiple big yolkies!
Even though we were told it would probably take a week to roll Rad Yolky back home, having other Yolkies assist us could definitely speed things up!

The only problem is that it takes one full day for the eggs to hatch after Blu lays them. Would we be able to protect everyone for that long?

Hmm... We could try reconfiguring into a composite of sorts...

Attach Spotter Head to Long Body neck.
Attach Pod Body neck to Long Body rear.
Attach Basic Body neck to Pod Body rear.
Attach Bubble Tail to Basic Body rear.
Attach Stinger Arms to Basic Body rear.
Attach All Leg components to Pod Body.
Attach Chem Lazer to Long Body.
Attach Handy Arms to Long Body.
Attach Crackling Wand to top of Spotter Head.
Attach Snipper Head to Handy Arm wrist.
Attach Bucket Head to Handy Arm wrist.
Attach Jelly Tail to Pod Body spine.

With a singular massive body, roll Rad Yolkie home. Have him eat a little toxic waste first though, not alot.

It maybe be a good idea to hug blue first and have them lay the really big egg just so y'all have more mobility. Bury it so it has a chance to survive. So you might be able to come back for it.

Use the chem laser on Rad Yolky to convert some mass back into toxic waste?
Definitely lay all the yolkys and use them to roll Rad Yolky home.
Rocks, if you have to stop before you're back at the ruins you can dig a temporary hole to shelter Rad Yolky in.

Lure the HUG RADMOEBAS to RAD YOLKY with toxic waste or a similar food item. Have them congregate around and under RAD YOLKY, and use vines to bind them all together in a kind of harness rig. The bound HUG RADMOEBAS will form a kind of self-mobile bed/sled that can be directed around by taking advantage of their rudimentary instincts. Assisting RAD YOLKY'S mobility, RAD YOLKY will ride/ambulate upon this sled of HUG RADMOEBAS back to home.

Hold hands. You are now a REPTEKA three times bigger than any one of you. Move RAD YOLKY with ease, REPTEKAZORD!
