Assimilate all visible medium-density matter that is not in contact with open space: 3

Assimilate downward from the pig-tail-sock-shaped patch of assimilated medium-density matter with a single space width until this provides vision of a new material or empty space or 50 spaces have been assimilated: 3

Variant: assimilate downward from each 4 assimilated patches on the floor, down 15 blocks from each: 3

Produce a 3x3 patch of medium-density crystal at the base of the pillar: 5

Shock medium density matter above quadruplet of low-quality crystal in our starting point with 2500 energy: 3

Try to assimilate liquid HD matter: 1

Continue around HD cluster: 3

Go into tick mode and wait until just before our next cycle, then do the 2500 energy shock thing. Assimilate ASAP: 3

Gen 2 Cycle 15

Darker Grey - Expended Medium-Density matter

2500 Energy expended on miscellaneous
+37 LowD
+180 MedD
+6 LowQ
9 LowQ => 9 MedQ

Your shocking of the Medium-Density matter resulted in the expulsion of Construction Material in the form of Extremely-High Integrity matter. This connection was not previously detected.
It takes 60 energy per unit of Medium-Density matter to cause expulsion and as such, 1200 energy per unit of Extremely-High Integrity matter.

Energy:
Energy Generation: 46955/cycle
Energy Storage: 80/90080
Metamorphosis Requirement: [1.5/2] Improvement possibilities
                                       Ready for premature Metamorphosis.

Crystals:
Low-Quality Crystals: 82 [10250/cycle 41000 storage]
Medium-Quality Crystals: 24 [7200/cycle 36000 storage]
Assimilated Low-Density matter: 334 [167][120][10][37] [10025/cycle 3340 storage]
Assimilated Medium-Density matter: 487 [480][7] [19480/cycle 9740 storage]

Crystal Forms:

Currently we're just growing, exponentially. Lets wait with metamorphosis until there is some actual threat.

Grow down and to each side equally.

Continue to attempt encapsulation of high integrity matter.

Also Armok, metamorphosis renders us almost completely defenseless. I suggest we do it as much as possible while we are safe.

I think we should shock everything we know that isn't us to give us more environmental information.  Understanding our surroundings seems to be the key to metamorphosis.  One more cycle of that and we should be ready to go.

If a piece breaks off and then lands on us again, can we do anything with it? Assimilate it back in, scan it's "memories"? If so, I'd also vote for growing nodes along the roof, breaking them off and have it "see" all the empty space in the cavern, then connect back to it and scan it's "memories". Just to make sure it's empty, and if anything is in the middle of the cavern but not connected to the top or bottom, we should be able to sense it's shadow from the missing nodes as well as see the sides of it from fringe-nodes.

Thats certainly an interesting idea.

You dont have any issues when pieces break off, they just arent connected to your energy network anymore, and will act on their own. Reconnecting indeed gives you memories.

Just to note with breaking off pieces, is that the broken off pieces need to have 100 storage to start growing(or doing anything, pretty much). You grew from a single LowQ crystal, but you would need 10 LowD Matter or 5 MedD matter to grow from matter.

I continue suggesting to experiment with shocking.

It seems from the previous experiments that HD matter is pure, or near pure, construction material. Assimilating it will be hugely profitable, when we'll be able to.

Scan the open space by breaking off nodes along the roof and reconnecting to them on the floor. 1
Added mah thingy. :3 And since my thingy is about the open space, I added 1 against to avoiding contact (do we still do that?).
