Several more structures have popped up.
I finally got around to improving the defense, and it was needed. We have been under pirate bombardment often. Still, shooting them dwn in the big one there is really satisfying. Highly recommend it.
We have come across a strange, glowing artifact of unknown history. Our best scholars have been working hard on a translation, and we have come to conclude it says 'Praise the forsaken one!', what ever that means...
Due to these cultural developments, a citadel has begun construction. Like all things planet side, defenses were incorporated into the architecture, as well as a highly effective heating system for those cold, ice planet nights.
Near by is the local landing pad, or as the boys have taken to calling it 'Yo momma'. I don't funny understand the term, but I am assured it is a form of endearment.
Evidence of subterranean structures is starting to show, with connecting bridges spanning the chasms visible. Either there is more being built than the public has access to, or ice worms are great engineers.
The local power house, constructed with the finest rubber bands and glue, may it power our fair planet in the years to come! Also makes fr a great viewing platform.
The right wing of the fortress has been fitted for manufacture of various components from raw metals. Speaking to the foreman, he tells me these machines produce more carbon dioxide emissions than any other leading brand. PROGRESS!
The left wing has been turned into a museum of natural science, with interactive displays. For some reason the locals here place a very high value on understanding mineral formations and biome identification. Something about finding embark locations.
