Perhaps we might have the column be 5 thick instead of 3 thick? Possibly even 7?

We're fine if we're undisturbed, but if there's something in this cave, we'll want it to be thicker.

[Angle]

let's have it be 3 for now. we can make it thicker once we reach the bottom.

[RAM]

I vote for assimilating up from the far left and right edges of what has been assimilated until it is no longer possible to go up by assimilating.

Why would we want to go up.  It might be dangerous up there.

It may be dangerous down too, but mostly this would be scouting our dimensions. Are we in a crater? Are there unusual elements on the surface? Can we break into a blood vessel? But let's, for caution's sake, say that we will stop if we locate any open space. That way we wouldn't be breaching the surface, if indeed it is the surface...

[techno65535]

Why use crystals, our most important piece to explore? Close up the hole above us and then pull our tendrals etc up there down and around our crystal. Have a cocoon of mater to protect it, and let us merge the 2 groupings of crystals, then use remaining matter to drip down to the bottom of the cave. Create a stalagtite colloum.

[Angle]

I don't think that any of our pieces are more important than any other, except in terms of energy creation and storage. and while we could just move the crystals we've already got, creating more gives us more power.

[RAM]

Well, okay, losing our dangly would be extremely painful, but it is just so convenient to have our spontaneous generation of material doing it, although it would probably be possible to drop one of our strands from the roof. might break though...

[Shades]

I'm still voting for flexing our tendril down through the cave, I don't want the crystals to be the first thing that bumps into trouble.
Even something like a bat could disturb it, and break off all those crystals and most of our power generation and storage.

[Grek]

I am in favour of any and all measures neccessary to prevent the breakage of our dangly bits.

What a filthy filthy mind you have!

We need to make our dangly bigger...
We should keep it growing until it penetrates the ground beneath us...
I think that bright green is a perfectly natural colour for it...

This is rapidly evolving into a Freud was Right conversation.

Notes:

Spoiler: Freud (click to show/hide)

There is to be no Freud in this thread, or I swear I will pull this assimilated meteor* right around!

*Can you even threaten with that, when you have already arrived?

Spoiler: Decisions, decisions (click to show/hide)

The only thing you seemed to agree on was to make the pillar, so thats just what you did. I request more structured votes(I think this was a three way between up, down, and around the strong stuff), especially when you wanna do any skips.

Spoiler: Naming (click to show/hide)

I have internally been referring to crystals as LowQ and MedQ and matter as LowD and MedD, and the notes on what you built are just copy-pasted, so if anyone was confused, then thats what they mean.

[10ebbor10]

Assimilate the ground.
100 to the left, 100 to the right and the 24 down.

[Roboboy33]

Assimilate the ground.
100 to the left, 100 to the right and the 24 down.

Agreed.

[kaian-a-coel]

Assimilate the ground.
100 to the left, 100 to the right and the 24 down.

Agreed.

same there.
Any crystal creation will go to consolidate the pillar.


for cycle14: need more MedD clusters.
