crude thing i made in like 45 minutes

Look at you, rat. The very sight of you makes me sick. What a disgusting, horrid creature you are.

These things got some rat in them right? That means they get skaven teeth. The tip of my final fine tipped pen is chipped and holding together by the power of determination

Hello again everyone!

Down to the final 10 panels, so hopefully I can gets this out in a week. If motivation decides to take me on another blitz session it may be out sooner, but my goal is 1 week. :p

Due to how I draw these things, my drawings end up doing a broken telephone kind of thing if it doesn't just plain look off, so after a few traces I kind of have to draw something out again. So if Bolt is looking different, it's because he is, I had to redraw his arm here. Too lazy and too much in the "I kinda want to try and get this done" mood to mess around with going back and fixing him. :/

This page was fun to make. And fun in the "had I posted this yesterday, it would have probably come with an ominous ¨this page may be the last¨ message" kind of way. I am feeling better for now, so I will probaably continue without much of a break for now.

toolboxes and the backpack are really good at holding water jugs when full (though putting the 3L of water in 4 IV bags would total to 4.4u of weight instead of 5). other items that have the *"can only be held in hands"* may look like they cannot go into a bag on the main slots, but they can so long as they are below the max weight and weight per item limit of that bag. this tripped me up for a while.

//REPORT LOG FROM EXPEDITION UNIT SAW-03-404216

FILE: GP-0998/Surface Readings

REPORT TYPE: Flora

CLASS: Yellow-Caution

At first, I thought GP-0984 was some sort of sick joke. Going to the surface, what a cruel thought. Brought this up to my squad and they all said we should head to the surface ourselves, 903712 even claimed that they may have found a tunnel out of here. Some days I swear those three share the same brain cell, they make an Orange look intelligent.

However today, I lost a bet that our Chip's protocols were going to kick in before we saw light. Although I'm not proud that I'm going to have to eat a fistful of dry leaves, it is quite amazing up here.

All of the following data was collected over the span of two Earth weeks. Yes, I specified because this planet is not on the same cycle as Earth. We hope to find more data as this expedition continues, but so far these are our early findings. However, without the proper equipment, I doubt we'll be able to get the full picture. How long is a year here? What is the atmosphere's composition? How big is this planet even? These and quite a few more questions we are unable to answer thoroughly if at all.

Day/Night: To start, as mentioned previously, this planet's celestial cycles are drastically off from Earth's. One Sol here is roughly 72 Earth hours. Either the planet rotates that slowly or it is that massive, we're unsure yet as we don't have the proper tools. Days and Nights can prove to be dangerous, since our circadian rhythm operates on a 24 hour cycle. Without knowing the nuances of this planet's climates, Days have a danger of causing heatstroke while Nights can cause hypothermia if the proper precautions aren't taken.

-00:00 = Start of our count, crack of Dawn.

-00:00 - 06:00 = Dawn continues

-06:00 - 36:00 = primary Day, can be dangerous or at the very least inconvenient for us.

-36:00 - 42:00 = sun begins to set, Dusk period

-42:00 - 72:00 = primary Night, again can be dangerous.

Air: The planet's atmosphere seems similar to Earth's. May strangely be better than Earth's, I feel like I can take a fuller breath. Referencing my Chip, at first I thought it was just a hiccup with the software, but I consistently see my O2 constantly fluctuate between 101% and 105%, up to a spike of 108%, everyone else reports the same. All of my vitals appear normal otherwise, I don't see any malicious Moodles and I actually feel a bit better than normal. Somehow despite being a vast wasteland of grays with one plant here and there, there's a bit more Oxygen on the surface than in the caves.

Water: Microbial and particulate readings are the same on the surface as in the caves, recommend only comsuming the water here after it is thoroughly boiled or if a Filter Straw is on one's person. Interestingly, there are no traces of Lumalgae in the water here, at least in this area.

Soil: Up in higher elevations across several samples, the soil composition looked like it would be compatible for bountiful agriculture, if one wanted to grow only potatoes. Unfortunately, pH levels are too basic for the majority of terran plants, unless they mutate quickly to adapt to the planet's soil or, again, if one's satisfied with growing nothing but potatoes. I swear, they can grow anywhere. Closer to "sea level" isn't any better, the lower the elevation, the sample readings tend to contain more and more sand, so unless one's interested in trying to grow cacti, I don't think terran agriculture could exist here without generations worth of testing and possibly cross breeding. Obviously however, the local flora seems to root just fine, so maybe there's potential there.

Meteorology: Weather patterns seem to be similar to Earth's. There was some light rain here for a few hours. Luckily we were camped out under a rock overhang. It didn't hurt, the raindrops didn't feel heavy, nothing pointed at acid rain or any other malicious occurrences. It was quite pleasant, a couple of us took the opportunity to "shower" ourselves quickly.

Tectonics: Mostly a moot point due to our lack of proper equipment, but it is a point of curiosity. Obviously, eathquakes and tremors happen below the surface, one happened on our way out of the caverns, but what of the surface? So far nothing, not even any evidence of volcanic activity either, but that's not to say it doesn't happen.

Climate: Although I can't say for certain how the climate is throughout the rest of the surface, in the area we are in it's pretty moderate. Temperature readings tend to average around 21°C at Day/10°C at Night. We don't have the tools to get humidity, but regardless it's quite the comfortable temperature.

Hello again Sawians!

Got another wave of surface headcannoning here! I am in no ways a professional in these kinds of things, so that's partly why I tried to keep stuff basic and vague. :p

Getting close to doing the final teaser, so hopefully the next comic strip is out within a week! :)

Did it just for curiosity

dune is now addicted to blood, not just flesh but now his diet is mostly blood

Definitely a drawing I'm proud of. Wasn't too sure I would make it right, the sketch looked a little rough, but after adding details, coloring it in, and adding a background, it turned out very well. I don't often do backgrounds. It's one of my big mistakes, so I'm very happy with this result :b

I remember that shoes were a thing you could get in this game. Are they made specifically for expies or are they just human shoes that just happened to somewhat fit?

Hello. Im not sure if you guys are active on r/sawianshitposting and saw the Roza x Voyager art and my comment of a hybrid of the 2.

Well, this is the said hybrid. I have decided to call it Rozyger as i found it cute. Plus, this artwork is a work of my best friend (the one behind the Experiment that blew your minds, they were very grateful and promised they will make future art better)

They would much appreciate your guy's comment AND what you like and what would you change about it.

Now for this: i know im very active on Reddit which might annoy some. Im trying to calm myself down.

Another is that i worry people think this text is all generated, i take immense pride into writing this whole

The story idea:

I saw many original stories/comkcs posted on this subreddit that i love to read and i was inspired to make my own. What do you say?

Im sorry if anybody doesnt like it, everything cant be anybody's cup of coffe.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely, G5

Music and lyrics in the game are in Russian!!! And I use a translator, so I apologize. Please excuse me if this violates rule 5, I'm seriously sorry 👉👈

warmup sketch

one of cas:u's biggest strengths for its atmosphere was its intimacy, it was just you and the guy you're directing down the planet. it sold the loneliness so well, made everything feel like your fault, your bad decisions, you caused this poor thing to suffer. but now there's just this... other thing? that speaks to you? and taunts you? and also apparently the directing thing isn't canon and you're just supposed to be the expie itself but the observer still talks to you and not the expie? i'm not crazy for thinking this is just a massive downgrade in both lore and immersion right

Hey y'all,

This is a discussion of the uses of flour items.

Currently, there is only one flour item, rye flour, which lasts 5 hours, weighs 0.5u and costs 2 trade credit. You can buy it from traders or craft it from 1u valueless rye bulb drops using 0.5 hammering, which both makes storing the rye bulbs more compact, and gives you discovered crafting recipe. The bulbs 30 minute decay time isn't worth attempting to maximize around. the extra space isn't worth squeezing an extra 30 minutes over an already overkill 5 hour decay time.

There are 3 recipes you can make with them. I think it is worth it to craft all of them at least once, because they each give you at least 20 hunger solving on top of the mood and int exp boost of a new recipe.

Each recipe takes one rye flour to make and 1 heatsource. I will be assuming that you eat them all at once to keep this somewhat short, and only noting how long it takes to lose a bite.

Starting with Bread because it is the simplest.

It costs 150 water quality to make and you get 0.75u, 8 trade value item. If you use clean water that's 13.5 quenching you forgo to make it.

The bread itself gives you 6 hydration and 27 filling, so that's really only 7.5 hydration for 27 hunger, IF you use the most efficent source of water quality. .

i find it really useful to use less efficent sources of water quality, mostly a mix of hell mixture mini-barrels (using dirty water for example) and chocolate milk/alcohol.

It takes at least 1 hour to lose a bite of bread, and you gain 0.51 kg directly eating it

Trade value wise, you are generally gives up 2 for the flour and 2 for the water quality for net 4, which generally pays for the cost of the campfire, while not requiring fluid containers or temporary bottle management to use.

Next is Pancakes

Pancakes costs 100 water quality and 100ml tree sap to make a 0.8u 12 value item. using clean water, that's 13 hydration and 4.5 hunger given up to make it, as well as 0.17 kg weight. and about 0.8 sickness and 0.5 mood

Pancakes give you 30 hunger and 3.75 mood, 4.5 sickness, and 1.23 kg weight in 3 bites, making this easily twice as fattening as bread, but it takes about have an hour to lose a bite.

Pancakes are ... hard to set-up, but you just need to get lucky with a mini barrel or be in layer 5 to have roughly the same set-up cost as bread.

Not as good long term storage of hunger as bread, but a bit better at producing trade value, as tree sap and clean water are 15 and 14 trade value respectively, so the fluid bit of the recipes costs about 3 vs bread's 2, but you get an extra 4 trade value.

Next is Nutrint Bar,

This requires no water but 25 fat quality and durability 50% produce to produce a 0.5u 10 value item.

This gives you 37.5 hunger and 0.406 across 3 bites that don't decay, ever, making this the best storage of pure hunger satisfying in the game at not much weight gain.

Unlike water and tree sap, the food/drink parts of a bar craft are not ... particularly easily stored and consumed. You aren't forgoing 150 to 200 ml of perfectly drinkable fluids, but like 0.25u or 25 ml in fat worth of somewhat sickening and/or upsetting meat items, and using produce that is either somewhat dangerous to eat (all custom produce besides geofruit) or decays really fast (geofruit).

Which makes it arguably the best flour use in terms of storing hunger, but can be somewhat finicky to set-up, given produce limits.

Looking this over I think the key takeaway is that rye flour is worth considering as a 20+ hunger 0.5u item that doesn't really decay edible (5 hours is overkill) that requires some finessing to actually eat, and gives you access to 3 recipes for mood and int exp. Bread is the easiest and decently long lasting, while the pancakes is the mood and weight option that is medium long lasting that needs a harder to source liquid, and the nutrient bar is the best in class hunger solution that actually requires a decent amount of set-up (meat/produce is somewhat bulky and can't be processed into less bulky stuff without a heatsource, and fat shouldn't be stored in your drinking fluids.)

Note

The game engine could easily support a bag of flour type item with more than 1 flour quality, but I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't happen in the Nov 9 out of demo/EA/now a full game release
