Sea Ice Community Challenge

Attempt 10, Day 14.
Traders, traders everywhere ... no seriously, firstly visited by a pirate trader and then before they even leave orbit, a bulk goods trader shows up ... talk about lucky, right? minor frostbites dont hold me back and the pirate sells me an awful camelhair parka ... but its -112C worth of tolerance, so i cant complain...
My attempts to save runners have not met with success and thus far several raids have come close to making melee range with engie, who has proved to be quite the crack shot ... though a go-juice problem may be on the horizon, hopefully cass decides to be nice to me because all i have is 2 units.
And i havnt even had to make bits of corpses yet ... im just waiting for vengeful cass to come back...

I think if I could change anything about this challenge though I would change the Hard Worker trait to either Psychopath/Cannibal (might make it too easy) or Jogger/Fast Walker. Considering after the first season 80% of my time was spent hauling, being able to move faster would be a lot more beneficial than Hard Worker.

Iron-Willed is probably the one you'd want to replace, actually. Without any traits that reduce the break threshold, it can only increase the threshold by +4, so it doesn't actually do all that much for Engie.

Ill be streaming my attempts (its ofc gona be several) tonight. Just had a failed run where 10(?) raiders attacked with the following bloodloss during the fight that happend. Oh well, cant always get lucky

Hey tnx! Im not the best of commentators, but im glad your enjoying your stay!

[Sp0nge]

So i planned to stop the stream, play some other game since nothing happend. Everything was just repeating, then this happend:



Shortcut and my base burned down! I stopped the stream after i got the fire out, what happends next will be on the stream again tomorrow!

As an aside, I remember seeing Rhadamant's first video, and in that, he tried to perform some sort of field operation on a downed mechanoid twice before it died.

What was that?  I've never seen such an option on a downed mechanoid, and I'm interested in whatever rewards I might be missing out on.

[Sp0nge]

You can modify downed mechs, but not killed, thats what he did.

[Zhentar]

That would be the remove scyther blade modification. If it succeeds, then you'll get a scyther blade part that can be installed on colonists (replacing their arm), or sold for pretty good money to exotic goods traders.

[Sola]

Oh, I see.  I suppose I just haven't been lucky finding modifications on mechanoids.  Admittedly, I've only started looking since watching the video.

Also, Rip Engie XVIII.  She caught the plague with nobody to heal her on day 88.

[Zhentar]

It's available on all downed (not dead) Scythers, as long as their arms didn't get destroyed.

Then something is odd.  I've never seen such an ... oh derp.

I need to click "health" and "operate", don't I?  Geez.  Learn something new every day.

Run 19
Day 12: Everything seems to be going well.  I'll butcher some humans while I don't have any notable negative moods.
Day 13: Lover drops from an escape pod.  5 days of major break risk.  Thanks, Cassandra!
Day 19: Solar flare disrupts heat, and no wool parkas have dropped.  Hypothermia gets to serious before the flare wears off.

RIP Engie XIX - Cause of death : Inability to pour hydrogen peroxide on her own wounds.

I finally made it on about my 7th try.

In this run Engie even got married,

Since everyone was so happy after the wedding I figured this was a good time for Engie to butcher all the corpses in storage,

Happy Honeymoon Engie!

And here is a final shot of the base (disregard the dead animals, a trader passed by so decided to blow my 20k silver on animals and watch them die in the cold.

Finally steel has struck flint and a spark has emerged!



Just sitting pretty until my first shipment of resources... I chose to spend most of the remaining wood on flooring to negate the 'awful bedroom' penalty, rather than build a quarter of the initial wall around the stockpile

Update: Staggeringly ugly wanderer with Chem Fascination, woop! Useless too, so no remorse putting him down at all!



Day 9: Solar flare strikes. Tore down a couple of wood wall sections and replaced with some steel left over from ship chunk deconstruction so I had enough wood to build a campfire. Room's around -10°C, Engie's minimum comfortable temperature is -60°C

[Fennecfox]

And here we go! The uranium was a real bitch to get so it took a while to build the ship. Very fun challenge, it requires getting the best out of the mechanics. I lost count of how many times Engie died too the cold, as well as how many times she rushed outside to strip crashed survivors.

My printscreen key is broken so I had to use the visual keyboard to take the screenshot so the resolution is pretty lame. Sorry about that, the year is 5508.

And yes Doug is staying in his cell.
