Turn 59:
Beware the Alien, the Mutant, the Heretic.Enough Swampland created! Further swampland creation will give a bonus!
LEGION! Members: 17000
Flagship
Athena's Glory completed!
Athena's Pride completed!
Athena's Joy completed!
build an RBE-Space-Distortion-Mine(i posted my plan a few pages before), place it in the place most likely to be the entry point of the jumpships.
create a miniature RBE, send it into the path of the non-Blob ships, then, once it detects the non-blobs make pi = RNG() (intent: traveling through non euclidean space will make it harder for the NON-Blobs to reach us, buying us time, after all, 45 turns and a bit aren't enough).
You do this. Placing one mine at each of the four most likely entry points. These miniature engines should only be able to break reality a little bit.
Don't produce that many battleships! One/turn will be perfect, and let the 10,000 remaining members reproduce! Or just reserve 10,000 for reproduction and use the other for battleship-making.
IMPROVE IMPROVED IMPROVED BLOBS.
Then, when that ends up crashing and burning, IMPROVE IMPROVED IMPROVED IMPROVED BLOBS.
But yeah. Only make one or two BATTLE CHIPS a turn.
You decide to only build 2 battleships per turn.
Completion of construct 10 battleships quota.
3/10
LEGION! starts construction of a further 2 battleships. The remaining 7k focus on reproducing themselves.
ATTEMPTING IMPROVE IMPROVED BLOBS AGAIN:
Roll: 36 (I guess random.org really doesn't want you to succeed.)
You fail. Your horrible abominations explode if a singe ray of light even brushes past them.
You attempt again:
Roll: 32 (I'm really not making this up, this is really the rolls that random.org is giving me, man, random.rg must be pissed at you guys or something.)
GENETICS FACILITY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS WILL TAKE 1 TURN.
> Make Von Neumann probes. Basically Legion in SPAAAACE, with FTL travel and an Athena AI on each, and some huge amount of fabrication capacity. Nothing else, if it has to fight it can build weapons for itself later and other needs follow the same general reasoning.
NEW DESIGN CREATED:
VON NEUMANN PROBE:
A Probe for further exploration and colonization of space for the GLORY OF THE BLOB EMPIRE! Has:
HYPERSPACE DRIVE
Small Thrusters
ATHENA CLASS AI
Basic Sensors
Basic Mining Equipment.
Storage space for 5000 units of resources or equivalent..
Extremely advanced and large amounts of fabrication equipment.
Modular Design.
Basic Radio Transmitter
You make 2 of them.
>breadbocks: Experience cameo without instantly dying for introducing both headcrabs and BATTLE CHIPS into this game.
A wild breadbocks suddenly appears in orbit around Attica! It is surrounded by blocks of bread.
It
nearly instantly dies due to exposure to vacuum. Its remains burn up on entry into Attica's atmosphere.
> Design hardware implementation for fast fighting and tactics: the Battle Chip. It should be part of most of our creations brains.
You create a "Battle Chip" and install it on all your nonorganic creations.
