Create 2 more crystals over the next 2 turns to the East. That will get us enough storage for Methamorphis.

Crystals cannot currently be created in filled space. Crystal growth is inhibited by presence of solid materials.

We can't destroy matter ? :(

Anyway, then I think we should assimilate as much of the medium density matter as possible to the West.

First cycle
4 medium to the West
Second cycle
5 Medium to the West
1 low density

Agree with this. continue expansion and create new crystals ASAP.

I think we should capture some low density before going above ground.

Cycle 9
Cycle skipped. Image not created.

Energy:
Energy Generation: 670/cycle
Energy Storage: 70/1230
Metamorphosis Requirement: 2000 Energy stored

Crystals:
Low-Quality Crystals: 2 [100/cycle 500 storage]
Assimilated Low-Density matter: 15 [10][5][0][0] [350/cycle 150 storage]
Semi-Assimilated Medium-Density matter: 4 [120/cycle 80 storage]

Cycle 10


You have assimilated 8 Medium-Density matter and some Low-Density matter(not enough energy to assimilate 5 medium on this cycle). Your Low-Density matter has aged to the least productive state, but your expansion counteracted the energy generation loss.

Energy:
Energy Generation: 790/cycle
Energy Storage: 40/1320
Metamorphosis Requirement: 2000 Energy stored

Crystals:
Low-Quality Crystals: 2 [200/cycle 1000 storage]
Assimilated Low-Density matter: 16 [15][0][0][1] [350/cycle 160 storage]
Semi-Assimilated Medium-Density matter: 8 [240/cycle 160 storage]

Crystal Forms:

Wait one turn.

Then assimilate 8 low density matter.

Follow that up with a turn of assimillating 8 Medium density matter.

And then create a new crystal atop the previous one.

That should give us enough energy storage.

May I ask, why the 1 turn wait?

Because our current energy stored is 40. Oh wait, we can shift construction and production around. Skip the wait then.

Are there going to be any events or anything or is this just a mini-game?

Of course there will be.

You are currently in the growth stage, where you are tiny. After some exponentially-faster spreading you will have the native inhabitants breaking your crystals and nuking the area to cleanse it.

So, going by what Cerapa just said, we should be going down and sideways!

Not up. Never up.

If we spread enough horizontally and downwards we should be able to zerg rush the surface and make it ours before the inhabitants can destroy us.

I tend to be a stupid person. Expect me to say/do stupid things and we'll probably get along better!

Unfortunately we just crashlanded as a meteorite, and there always people who want to find out more than is good for them. I propose we follow my plan. It has a minimum amount of going up while still being rather fast.

I say we get to the first metamorphosis ASAP, as we landed on the planet in a highly conspicious manner. The sooner we get a means of defense the better.

I say that we as much as possible try to spread out as a very sparse network, ridiculously long thin strands. Like fungus. Even if they dig through the earth each individual strand or node will be microscopic.
