Okay, gonna play some ONI Spaced Out. This is the variant where the starting world is still fairly large. Seed V-SNDST-C-68286727-0

Dunno how long I'll go, but what the hell, it's been quite a while. :)

Plenty of water, and the temperate biome seems reasonably wide. I'm thinking of a central 16-column with two wider wings on either side, ultimate census 24. And away we go!

First stop, the starter bathroom, cuz some things never change. Once that's complete, I'll bounce to the west of it and toss in my generator and get some research going.

Now what? Good lord, I've forgotten how to play. Oh, yes. Research the planters, then the battery, then get the mealwood going and start working on getting all that water out of the damned way.

Okay, threw around some planters, made the tentative decision to develop the right side first. Digging wayyyyyy down to figure out what to do with the reservoir. There's even *more* water way down there. That's a lot of water.

Okay, well I guess this is the plan. Dig way deep and dump all 5 pools there. This is gonna take a while. Not thrilling, but working around that many pools is a no-go for me, and at least it'll be out of the way.

Okay, it's c12, and as you can see the reservoir's coming along but still ain't ready. Meanwhile, added the advanced research, the microbe musher, and started on making that computer room a rec room. My play feels really slow.

*Finally*. I'll drain the rest of these pools here in a minute. But at least now I feel like I can get to work designing my damned base. Food supplies are really low, that's gonna be a first priority. But something I learned from lifegrow, there's a *lot* of food in the starter.

c20, beds finally gonna go in, which feels really late, and the basic water supply for research & cooking will be up soon. Next stop, gotta do some internal base work to keep morale going. All we have now is the rec room and latrine. Need great hall & barracks, then bathroom.

Continuing on, here's c31. It's going okay, but I'm kinda grumpy. I don't *like* big bases. I always feel I have way too much dead space.

Current plans. Obviously, the bathroom loop is going in now, and I'm digging out the space west of the reservoir, thinking to grow shrooms there. Very soon, it's time to get the hell out into the world.

Okay, it's c36, dint play much today, bathroom loop is operational, please help me remember to check the reservoir from time to time so I come up with some answer when it's close to full. Shroom farm going in. It is time for coal, and then we break out into the world.

I'm gonna plant a couple of coal generators and transformers off to the left of the shrooms. Assuming I'll wind up needing insulation there anyway, cuz that blue off on the left is a damned cool steam vent. Gotta get that bricked up at first opportunity.

(So, @ AltTxtReminder is really cool. It dm's you when you post an image w/o. What should I do about alt-texting these dumb game screenshots? Couldn't reasonably describe them, I think, and not sure anyone would care. But I'm open to doing better, if someone overcalls me.)
