World Difficulty:
69. Outside the viewport you find yourself on a rocky outcropping in the middle of a yellow ocean. Orange sky and the yellow banana-pudding like water stretch as far as the eye can see. Several small, startling neon-red crabs blink at the portal as they scurry along the rocks.

Craft. While I failed to gather more sources of energy the plasma will do. What I'm going to create is a fully functional fusion reactor the size of the chainsaw engine. I will create it out of the solid grey fluid
attempt:52-10=42
Taking your grey fluid and one unit of plasma you attempt to fuse the two together and form a sort of engine running on internal power. As much as you attempt such however, your inexperience keeps this from happening.

[this attempt split the pack of 6 plasmas, therefore, your inventory is full, you held onto 4 of the plasmas, and the other two go into group inventory. If you gather or otherwise gain items with a full inventory new items will directly go into group storage.]
Smelt the remaining lime rock into chains, which I will use on the barrel of fuel to make it like a flamethrower tank,
note: 2 craft actions here, so you get the first one of the chains, you may do the other later if your successful.
attempt: 4
You choose another piece of lime metal and remove the rocks from it, and focus your power onto the item. The plan was to make small links out of metal into a chain, but something went horribly wrong. A massive blast of scrapnel heralds the explosion of the lime metal, and an alarm as your work area is surrounded by an energy shield to protect the rest of the ship. After a moment the shield fades as the explosion is noted to be gone, but this cost you: 39 influence.

I'll have another go at Gathering material from the depths of the star.
attempt: 47+2=49
So close and yet so far. You plan out your focus gathering, hoping to find a spot that is easier to drill into. You plan so well, that you run out of time for the day, and decide to return to the ship before it leaves without you.
+49 gather exp
Create an ornate wooden block, large enough to support my previous experiments, and possibly decorate it to make it pretty or elegant. Use a divine and electric/lighting theme.
attempt: 19+20=39
You claim the mishapen oak log out of storage and try to form it into a cohesive block stand to hold your great craft. However, the log remains just a log, and you can't seem to figure out how to make a block of the size you need out of it.

Make a glass box out of 1 small pile of green rocks and give it to Grek
attempt: 29+20+6+1=56
quality: 86
base influence: 29+86=115
Taking another pile of the green rock you pulverize it into the green sand you've been using for glasswork all this while. With a box shape in mind, you flatten the glass into four sides and a bottom, leaving an open top. The box is about a foot cube.

[ approaching 1k influence again, perhaps another upgrade to your glassmaking gear is in order? or maybe another piece of equipment to boost a different skill.]
I use 1 small pile of rocks and the rest of the needles to create a pile of ?mulch?.
attempt: 96
quality: 94
base influence: 35+94=129
Taking a pile of the green rocks from storage, and the remaning 14 needles, you mix them together and grind them just enough to pulverize some of the rock into smaller pieces, and crush a few of the needles, combining the mixture just right to provide a boost of nutrients for a plant. You do such a good job, that the amount of the mixture ends up being more than just the rocks and needles could create, boosted by the surge in your power, you've absorbed minerals and elements from the very air to create 15 full units of mulch.

!base influence: 115!As the appointed time comes, a massive lurch causes everyone to stumble slightly to the right as the ship yanks itself from the world of the star. The swirl of light and slight rumble of the ship herald a new world outside to explore.World Difficulty: 69. Outside the viewport you find yourself on a rocky outcropping in the middle of a yellow ocean. Orange sky and the yellow banana-pudding like water stretch as far as the eye can see. Several small, startling neon-red crabs blink at the portal as they scurry along the rocks.
New world, new stuff to see and gather. Good luck, hope you brought your swimtrunks. And yes, the waiting list has open spots for next cycle, shouldn't be as long as some other games, but people are welcome to just read along as well.
