welp this game has turned into a survival simulator


    except it''s not simulation


    and it''s not fun


    suddenly all the numbers have meaning


    like i have two flasks of tea


    and when those run out


    well i won''t have anything to drink


    which is bad


    didn''t invent any kind of portable water filter thing did i


    nooooo


    invented an eyespider instead


    wait that''s a terrible example


    eyespider is amazing


    like even in my waterpoor state i would still not trade eyespider for waterfilter


    waterfilter so boring


    eyespider so good


    also useful for scouting etc which is good because this is also a stealth game


    death surrounds me


    in a literal sense


    i am hiding inside a hut made of antcorpses


    using my teleport dependent weapons while i still canUnauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    well not the cannonball pistols


    those things make a lot of noise


    stealth game remember


    shardrifle is pretty quiet though


    slicey armblades and antswords also v stealth and v efficient in terms of ammo


    because they don''t use ammo


    well i mean big antswords need aggbys or they''re too heavy to lift


    but i don''t have any big antswords


    just sensible ones


    +armblades as mentioned


    so for right now killing ants is not so difficult as long as there are not many ants around


    so far there have not been many ants around


    although there have been a few acid ants


    i hate those guys


    melting my antswords


    also just slicing up regular ants isn''t a forever thing


    i got equipment degradation going on


    yep another thing to worry about. just add it to the pile. did you notice the pile. it is this enormous mountain behind me. teetering precariously. about to fall over and crush me. that is my. worry pile.


    good news is that i managed to make an antblood battery recharging device. so as long as i have fresh antcorpses to poke the thing into i can very slowly and inefficiently charge some of my stuff. like eyespider. i am also at least halfway to making antgutgem -> power converter. i don''t know if that one will work. but if it does i should be able to just plug antgutgems straight into heatdroneglove.


    man i bet the efficiency is going to be so bad


    better than running out of power though


    better than yelling WAVE MOTION FIREBALL BLAST and nothing happens


    how embarrassing would that be


    also shield does not like aggbys. so shield will not like antgutgems. telepower seemed like such a good solve at the time. but when ants eat biscuit fort they will also eat my antblood batteries and my telepower device.


    i guess at least i''ll know when my home is gone


    because my shield will suddenly fail and an ant will appear out of nowhere and jump on me instantly


    anyway


    need to find more parts and proper tools


    creating without a mareo is so flipping tedious. although also satisfying. out here everything has. weight.


    especially decisions


    i am not near the research lab. that is still. far. but i am pretty close to humanriverbase.


    humans love stuff


    but humans do not love it when you try to take their stuff


    but


    so close


    so convenient


    so tempting


    food. water. the things i need to keep this stupid inefficient body working. might even be teleportal parts in there. all my dreams could come true. in humanriverbase.


    so. keep heading for research lab and hope it''s still there and hope it has stuff i need and hope food and water last and hopehopehope


    or. infiltrate humanriverbase for loot and deal with angry humans yelling at me and also killing me


    or i guess. give up and go back and get eaten by a thousand ants


    man these choices suck
