Been playing this game for a while. Had the owner of the mulitplayer server I play on set up a custom planet for me one wipe. I'm a masochist and he's a sadist.

3.0.0 comes out, so server wipes. Start a new game on the new server, get lucky, escape pod lands next to a lake. I make it into the lake with 40hp left, 8 overseers, 2 crawlers and a spider hot on my tail.

Find a good patch of minerals, and start boring into the lakeside with my drill. Drop the survival constructor and O2 generator. Burrow some more, out of drill fuel. Crap.

Thing about this planet is, 0 visibility due to max fog, and all the seaweed lives outside of water (sadist). Die several times (30) while I get my tunnel-rat network established. The surface of this world is death, there's no fiber, you don't start with grow plots, and 12 overseers / 4 crawlers / some spiders and a few other nasties spawn per biome.

I decide to see if I can nick some grow plots from an alien base. Alien Fortress MK II with a Drone Base directly behind it... maybe I'll get lucky.

Use the cheapest method for base caps (0 visibility so ramming them with an SV is out of the question--you see a mountain by crashing into it on this planet) and tunnel up under the Fortress. Easy capture. Get some zasc and erestrum, so I head back to my underground waypoint base and spit out an Advanced constructor.

Promptly starve to death, but a respawn at the medic bay and I'm tunneling to the drone base. Then it happens: I'm 200m from the drone base, about 50m under the ground, and Ion Cannon rounds start exploding around me. 4 deaths later, realize tunneling won't work. Crap.

Attempt surface rush on drone base, eat laser cannon, 4 deaths later realize I need a new approach. Spit out a SuperCheap SV, manage to crash it into the base, kill the Ion Cannon that was shooting me underground, jump the fence around the base, eat hot lasery death.

Finally capture the base, no grow plots.

55 deaths sees me peacefully collecting Fiber on Akua. Canned Overseer-in-Tomato-Sauce is going to taste so good.

15/10, would die in horrible ways over and over again!
