There should be some foods burried only a bit underground, possibly some in the water. The hives of the bugs should also contain stuff you can eat.

You have a shelter, building a better hide-out can wait, we have to focus on other things.
I personally think we should use a torch or such, if they scare off the bugs it would allow us free and easy access to their hive.

We should sharpen a stick in case we need meat. Gotta get that protein somehow.

Mmmmng~ oh, I think I overslept...

And I agree. Eating grain whole is just too much work. Processing a bunch into something more edible and not worrying about food for a few days sounds great.

Time to evaluate our options. Mmn...

Unleavened gruel or not, to work wheat I'm going to [need a stone surface]. Maybe I can dig out a block of something from a cliff or something... or I could [[/b]dig here[/b]]. I am with my back against some rock. And since I've got wood, I can actually expand the place.

Or, I could go back to [exploring and gathering], maybe find space potatoes, or hunt for game. [Could make a spear]. I'd have to make a tip for it, and maybe I can fasten with wire.

Fighting the bugs... it would at least get me rid of that problem. [Going back there would be a pretty walk.

I don't know. As long as everything works out, I'm game for everything. What's--

... am I seeing this?

Depends, are you talking about how the tree seems to be rapidly growing from just a stick? If so then yes, we are seeing it too. Seems they reproduce by budding.

>>265060
*sigh* There go my vacation plans. Why does it take forever for any news to get here?
Thanks for the heads up, Vizzini.

>>265119
What do you see? I see a splint that rooted down into soil and grew leaves overnight. I don't recall being a victim of malnutrition, so logic states it's real.

Ironic, isn't it? If trees here bore any fruit here, we could have a freakin' plantation in no time.

I suggest we abstain from hunting for now, what with your limited mobility and all. If you can work rock to make a flat surface, then do it, but do it outside just next to the shelter. If we ever start cooking anything on that surface, we want good ventilation.

>>265126
I agree. No cooking indoors.

Well actually you could block the waterfall temporarily while cooking, to let the smoke out. That would work.

Interesting.

Anyways, we don't need to fasten a tip to a spear; we just need to find a sturdy length of wood and sharpen the tip.

In that vein of thought, how does spear fishing sound?

[exploring and gathering]

Between those food options, the grinding of wheat has the advantage of not being risky. We have the wheat already, veggies and meat are far from sure things. Let's look for them when we have some reliable carbs that are easier to eat than rocks to help us do it.

i was kinda right. the whole fauna and flora was adapted to explosive bugs. maybe the strange orange iron stone you got was related to a life form somehow.

the trees breed trhu explosions. this should also means they make poor fire maybe even when dry.

id say we need to make a stone surface. expand your shelter, and make a proper place for a bed as well. how is your leg? you should drop the stick if you are fine, maybe begin a small farm outside.

[Time: Day 3, Morning]

Ugh. There goes a good portion of my day.

Chipping a whole block of stone without letting it fall was a challenge. This stone fragments easier than I thought. In addition to the large block, I collected an entire cubic metre of cobble-sized stone. Maybe one or two are actually tool-grade material here, but really -- Now I can think about sharpening sticks.

Once more, I thank modern technology for the plankpack. Just say the word, and I'll lay this wherever you want.

I don't like to say 'life adapted to explosive bugs', but yes -- that explains why these trees are everywhere. If it tried to root itself in one night... I wonder how quickly it could grow.
...I really don't like the thought of those bugs being the dominant species. They'd displace everything.

My leg's -- ... ... fiiiiiiiine... just need to not put weight on it yet...

the first rule of survival is to obtain more calories than you spend, you're spending a ton carving out solid rock. We need food, easily accessably food, that means anything that grows on bushes and in bunches, or in this case, a hive of insects that, if afraid of fire as we already theorised (and is likely), is free game.
Bread is nice, but it takes too much effort short term.

Get the fucking hive.

One wonders what they produce to feed their young. Creeper honey?

>>265261
Good idea, we should investigate that.

Problem is, they probably don't react to smoke like bees... this is going to be a pain in the ass to test

>>265261
That idea crossed my mind too. However, do you really want to scare them off with a torch?
"Hey, look, it's working! The marker bugs are afraid of fire! Yay! Wait, is that an exploder bug?" BOOM! One fried engineer.

im pretty confident that smoke may set them to explode against what is releasing the smoke.

weaver should pay attention to the enviroment. it is unlikely a type of bug or grass hasnt developed a hunting strategy based on some sort of explosion prevention system. with luck, it will be hormonal and we can make anti explosive spray.

well im guessing you still have some of the wheat. its time to expand the cave and make a workbench as well.

[Time: Day 3, Noon]
Treshed and smashed. Had to use one of the cobbles to smash it right. We're looking at 20-something blades worth of space wheat flour... kinda tired to know how much...

... I'm tired... and hungry. I know, wasted alot of energy in this... but its something I just needed to do once.

Now, I know you changed your mind and wanted me to go for the bees for a moment. I just wanted to wait until you were sure that's what I should do. Because, I should. You know...

... they're scary.

>>265456
T_T

Don't worry Weasel.
We won't send you over there again for now.

We will find something else.

>>265456
we are not going there until we get a bow, arrow and a means to lit the arrow on fire.

forget the bees, you arent even healed.

go wash your exaustion away. all of it, even the workbench if possible.

later on we should make tools to work on wood, with haste, a axe that can also serve for self defense.

oh you should also try to start a fire.

try the leaves of the tree first, but make a decent distance from your new shelter. if the leaves dont act like napalm, they should have quite a effect on the bugs.

either you get yourself a meal today and in the night check if the bees are attracted or frightend of fire, if attracted, you'll make a nice crater and it'll blow up the hive anyways.
If frightened, you can use it to obtain food.

In the night they should be more capable of seeing it so the result would be clearer. Just carry on doing whatever it is youre doing for now.

>>265456
If trees grow this fast, one has to wonder if the wheat is the same. Lets see if we can't get a little farm going with the rest of the afternoon. Collect a few more grains and plant them near your shelter. Not having to wander around collecting individual stalks will save a lot of time and energy in the future.

Meat protien is better for energy density, but you can survive almost indefinetely on grain and water, and grain doesnt explode or fight back or run away.

>>265464
well id just like to say this is a fine idea

but dont place anything near the shelter. i dont wanna discover the weat is like candy to them and suddenly theres a colony near our farm.

Add some water to your ground wheat. Make a wheat bran porridge. Lots of carbs, and it will clean out your colon.

Don't be ridiculous. We aren't going to go near the exploding insects.

We need to set up a cooking stone, so you can make some flat bread. I'd recommend you do that next.

Hang on, Weasel. We're doing what we can.

[I think it's better to not tell her that our hands are tied due to the lockdown yet.]

Definitely a yes on planting the wheat.

>you can survive almost indefinetely on grain and water
While this is true, let's not forget we already have to deal with a broken leg. Recovering from this requires more than a barely sufficient amount of carbs and vitamins.

>>265461
The problem I see with this is that setting the hive on fire (from a safe distance away) will blow it up together with the bugs and whatever nutrient stuff could be there.

I think our best bet about finding new food is the dark and dank and sinister cave, for which we need a light source.
Bugs could help us with that. If the marker liquid is anything like animal/insect musk we know from other worlds, it's at least partially flammable.

>>265464
oh yah... farming is the choice to make.

Note to self; as soon as we find some kind of fiber, we need to make a sack. Plankpacks can't store flour on the raw, certainly for the same reason it can't just store water without a bottle. For now, what I did was to tie up one of my top's sleeves to use it as a bag.

The leaves around here do not ignite easily... a good sign. Or the flint-alike we found is too cold.
It still leaves them with charred marks. I place a bunch of leaves I pick from the grass on the rock, that'll dry them up until nightfall. Then we can try that again.

Yes, I know a few things about farming. They taught that in Bio-Maintenance. I'll have to produce a hoe, pick, something to turn and clear the dirt. I think I can make something with the wood.

If farming it is, just tell me the where. If we're doing it here at all.
Hmn, now I think of it, I think I'll have to set some kind of irrigation up. I don't think I can count on the rain in this planet. The skies' been too clear for three days straight.

Redirecting the waterfall might not work so well. It'll end my protection.

>>265551
you also shouldnt have it flooded always. i suggest along the sandline, where you can dig in a bit more to make a water stream follow the farm line.

>>265551

>>265555 , and obviously, the farther from the mountainside you plant, the more sun the crops will get, and the harder it'll be tending to them (what with distance being an issue). Find the balance that suits you.

>>265551
Redirect the waterfall BELOW your shelter.

>>265551
>>265578
Plant above the cliff. Make a shunt that could temporarily redirect water to your field until it is wet enough. This will preserve your shelter, water your field, and give it maximum sunlight and minimum distance from you. Optimal configuration.

>>265615
I concur with this fine chap.

Just be sure not to plant them to close to one another.

>>265551
>tree stump on the left
Uh, company.

Something temporary/portable that could keep you from getting wet would be nice though, like a broad plank. Not a permenant fixture.

>>265620
Took me a second to figure out what you meant by that.

Perhaps it fell in a storm? Though, then again, there would be tree remains...

We best check that stump out to see what felled it, another sentient lifeform means a way out of here! Or, at least, survival!

[Time: Day 3, Afternoon]
.... okay, it might not look like it, but this was hard work.

A wooden hoe was simple. Piece of wood, piece of wood, crack, fit. Not even twenty minutes.

Making something on the cave is just not practical... too much walking around to get there, period. So I go for under.

I dig a hole, move maybe three, four metres of sand around (which took two full hours and some more) to just dump it full with some of the dirt I'm storing (which took a second).

Much like with the wheat, the plankpack does not accept to carry sand...

I doubt this will actually work, but... ... not like i had a better idea...

Well, you've seen that branch. Who knows how fast this'll grow? I'm feeling optimistic.

>>266573
Assuming the wheat grows at the same rate as the grass and trees, we should have a few plants ready to eat within 48 hours.

Sorry, getting kinda busy around here.

I would suggest gathering more wheat during the time we have left today. Need to stock up on food just in case the farm isn't as fast as we think it'll be.

>>267284

I'm waiting for the wheat to grow! Whaddya want?!

Don't worry about it. All that staring at the waterfall left a lot of people needing to use the bathroom. It'd be much easier if we could drag the transmitter there, but I don't think you'd like to listen to our sage advice punctuated by the sounds of our bowel movements.

Anyway, we have some time before the wheat grows, even assuming it grows as fast as your splint. More wheat gathering, exploring, expansion or improvement of our little hole-behind-the-falls, or just taking a break seem to be the options. What do you feel up to doing?

Taking a break, enjoying the satisfaction of a completed task. You did good Weasel.

Interim food foraging is nice, if you are feeling up to it, but there is still the matter of potential macrofauna encounters. Or if you want to stay off your leg for rest of the afternoon while you finish healing, you can sit here on the shore and do a little stone-age inventing. Still need to get that spear put together just in case. A better solution for shaping stone would also be nice. Might even be able to consolidate them into one tool, as long as you didn't have your heart set on throwing your spear. You familiar with the shape of an ancient stone adze?

Oh by the way, don't waste your empty straw fibers, they are good for mixing up sun-baked bricks, or mortar for rough stone, since you have ample access to both mud and warm direct sunlight. You may be wanting an oven later, and the construction on those requires some lead time. Please think about it.

>>267326
An oven may not be a bad idea, we do want to make bread after all.

Im thinking we'll have to make either Monk's Bread or Hardtack. Hardtack seems the best option, since it can be small and keeps for a while.

'Adze'? I think I know what it is, if is what I'm thinking -- I just made one of wood to till the soil some.

I'm not so sure about an oven. I can't think of a configuration that won't need metal, cement or both.
And... while this rock does dust quite nicely, it's not magically cement. If you have a better plan, I can [go dig some material.]

And I believe I depleted the local wild what-- the little that was around, its now powdered or planted. Let's hope it works.
If we're going [foraging], I need a direction.

dig, dug, dig!

try to expand your shelter as well.

>>267808
You can't think how to build an oven without fancy modern materials? Have we really come so far? I was GOING to suggest sun-baked mud and straw for mortar later, but NOW I'm tempted to walk you step by step through building an oven out of free standing stacked rocks, just to prove to you it can be done. People have been making fire containers nearly as long as they have been making fire Weasel, have some faith.

Grumble grumble kids these days.


...Anyway, yeah, that tool you made for the farming project is along the lines of what I'm talking about. Only make the head a pointy piece of rock instead of a small piece of wood. The soft stuff would work, but it would be better still if you could get a little chunk of that weird fossil stuff broken off. You grabbed more than one piece right? See if it's possible to chip one of them with another. If it is, you should be able to work a little piece into a tool head.

>>267821

My guess is in training they don't expect you to underequipped/lacking external support, so they don't teach some of the handy stuff like that. Or Weasel missed that class.

>>267808

Well, unless you're feeling particularly hungry, I'd say to stay at camp and do some of the little stuff.

Let's gather some more materials now that we're fairly well-entrenched. Stone, I think. You're going to want to make a stone chisel eventually...

[Time: Day 3, Sunset]

Got some digging done. Got a nice amount of cobble this way.
By the way, cold wheat soup is not as tasteless as it sounds.

Hey, I was taught a straw and mud construction does not make a good oven. And concrete is hardly 'fancy'...

I believe I mentioned, I can't really made a rock-headed appliance without having something to fasten the head to the shaft. With wood, I can just chip and break until I have a slot; I need tools to do that with rock.

I really don't know how I can break off a piece of the orange stuff. Even the smaller piece is massive to handle. I'm sure with some of the cobble I can shape the material into a blade, but breaking it apart would need either dynamite, power tools, or a rocky cliff.

>>268209
sorry, hangover.

well you could try to innovate. shape the wood to receive the piece of rock for example.

now you were saying something about your shelter needing reinforcements? the clobberstone could help?

oh and how about a proper door? id like to think that all that water will not make you cold at night...

>>268209
Something to fasten the head to the shaft?

The wood here grows into the dirt. Put the rock head in between the wood and the dirt. Let it grow around it. Presto, it's attached.

>>268209
Painstakingly make a hole in the rock head. Fashion a wooden shaft slightly narrower than the hole. Split the end of the shaft, then put that split end into the hole. Drive a wooden wedge into the split shaft end to tightly secure it into the stone head.
You're limited the the durability of the stone to repeated impacts, so the head'll probably break before it falls off the shaft.

You try to bore a role in a piece of rock with nothing but wood and your own fingers.

Heeeere it issss..... I'm not sure how I'll use it, this thing is kinda heavy. But I'm sure I can find a use for it.

I didn't choose this job. The Bureau needed someone, and they chose me for the trip, you know how it works.
But yes, pods aren't.. really made to survive the drop. Most of it ablates in the drop itself, and what's left is too fragile to have any use.
It does the job of safeguarding what's inside, but the pod itself? Electronics, shell, most of everything useful completely fails in the drop.

Except for the comm, that always survives the drop... except this time it didn't. I guess we're talking trough a satellite.

About the tool, I didn't have much choice. The cobble around here tends to be long, not flat. I guess I always can pick a bigger piece of cobble and chisel or knapp it into a dull blade, though.

And yea... going to get some leaves on my way back. That should do for a while.

>>268834
you grossly reminded me that bamboo can grow trhu people if given time...

maybe we should peform a test with the leave. simply leaving some in the floor of the cave can tell us if they can "root" or not

you know. im beginning to think this planet you are on was somewhat crafted.

I don't think you should actually put the door in place. You slept there for one night and it worked out fine. Remember that the reason you got fucked up last time is that you couldn't get OUT fast enough.

Bringing it closer to home base is a good idea anyway.

Right, um.

When you're getting stationed anywhere, its food and safety.
Food is nominally taken care of, pure flour might not be the best thing at the long term, but keeps me working. I'm safe, I have a place to sleep, safe from predators, even if barely...

Next step should be work. I should [get on with the mission] and focus on building an outpost. Single-handedly. Without tools. Or, getting a bucket of magma material. As if.

Again, I can't shake the feeling those bugs are major trouble. They scare me major. I don't know anything about them; only that they're the only regular fauna in miles, and they don't hunt by day. [Maybe I should rectify that]. Maybe not.

I could just say this shelter isn't sufficient, and dial back the priorities; go, and [build, or find somewhere more suitable to live]. Or hide.

And about food... we'll see how the little farm grows. And there's always [foraging and exploring]. There has to be something, somewhere...

In any case, I guess I'll be making tools as we need them, with ... whatever we have at hand. As if. I can shape stone, but I really need [some fastener] to start decent stone toolmaking -- fiber, rope, leather, cloth, skin, glue -- ANYTHING!!!!

... augh, I'm panicking like I'm a first year's....

>>269496
Well, the highest priority then would be tools. They make everything easier and/or possible in the first place.

>>269496
Find a living branch. Cut a slit in it. Insert the axe-head or pick-head or whatever. Wait for the branch to grow around it.

Since trees grow so rapidly here, doing this tonight will let you have a tool in a day or two.

you do have reasons to panic. a first year by now would have seizures while trying to forage the bugs for food.

>>269500
this is... weird. it may just work.

glue can be made, but our best bet is trying to find a natural glue. since the trees dont seem to have sap, im guessing thats pratically out of the question.

you can try bark stripes. if we manage to make a rope of it, we should have something to work on already.

im right now willing to set something on fire. the ashes could become useful later, and i kinda need to discover if the leaves were made to burn or not to, to attract or repel bugs.

go foraging later, you'll find food and ore not that far underground, or at least, you should.

If you can put together a small oven out of clay, shove the ore in there and keep it hot propperly for about a day you should be able to collect a small amount of iron. you can hammer it into shape with rock if you have to. you can use that as a knife or as the tip of an adze or such.

test how the bugs react to fire when it gets dark, observe a burning flame from a distance, if you can get a fire going.

oh, another option would be to dig a hole in a spiral shape downwards. make sure you can diverge the river course to it, as you may actualy find adapted life form, trying to escape the bugs.

>>269500
This is actually a good idea.

I think we should explore more when we have time. We haven't really seen enough.

[Time: Day 3, Midnight]

... crazy enough to work.

I set some wood on fire and leave to burn outside; it makes a yellow, smoky fire, burns for a few hours. Nothing seems to approach it in the entire shift. The time I spent watching it, I fashion a crude axehead, and a stone chisel.
Having a plan motivates me to work.

The rock here isn't all that good to work, way too hard. As long as I hit soft woods with this thing, it should last many swings before it cracks.

I guess I can explore tomorrow, if that's still a plan. Anything else for today?

is it more smoke that the usual? well it seems we may have a good start to a torch. you think we can start working in a crude furnance tomorrow?

also, check your wounds, i dont wanna discover you have a infection. and go to sleep already, you are wounded.

Oh yes, definitely check those wounds. You can use still water as a mirror to check the ones on your back.

Setting rocks into wooden sticks in the hopes that they'll grow over it should only take a few minutes and if you do it now, it'll have all night to do that, so it'll be ready sooner.
After that, you should get some rest. It's been a long day.

Well, it 'is' green, freshly cut wood. Usually one 'seasons' one's wood by aging and drying it a bit, smoke is to be expected.

[Time: Day 3, Night]

... Sticking the axehead to a branch is harder than it seems. Cracking a hole for it was a chore, but now its done.

Checking my own wounds reminded me they hurt. Nothing is openly bleeding, I guess going back and forth trough the waterfall is keeping them clean... we'll see over the next few days.

It also reminds me I have nothing to save me if I develop some infection. I'm surprised I didn't catch something nasty just from landing in here.

My leg... hurts less. But I hold no illusions; it wont get actually better until I am confined to a bed for a few weeks. All I can do is try to not make it worse.

Alright, get some sleep. Tomorrow, we cover new ground!

Well, if it does get infected, there's a great way to separate the ammonia from uri- yeah you won't go for that. There's always fire sterilization.

Tomorrow, we should make a second chamber in our tunnel where we can keep a fire and small ventilation hole where you can dry up after going through the waterfall so you don't catch your death.

But now sleep.

considering the pureness os everything, im really willing to say you are either in a simulation or you are on a actualy fabricated planet.

how was the fire? like you "remember" or a bit like a animation? is there dust on this planet?

I.. like to believe I have my priorities straight, when it comes to choosing between being squeamish or sick.

Heh... You're in a simulation, Weasel.
What's next? Do i start seeing things for what they are, with a blocky landscape colored by an amateur, and my hands being meshed in one big polygon?

This is Land Operative Weasel, logging out.

... hmnph, stuck in a simulator... funny as Hell, its the most horrible thing I can think of.

Where have I heard that before? I've definitely heard that quote. What books have you been reading lately, Weasel?

>>270727
Google says it's what Max Payne said when he found out he was in a comic book while he was dreaming.

>>270785
Oh man, I loved that game! Thanks, anon. I Google-searched it with quotation marks but got no results.

Anyway, yeah, nice reference, Weasel.
