Successfully built a base so far.

Chose to settle on Howler's Maze since it's only got crabs, which are slow as hell. They're an annoyance with their constant patrols through the settlement, but I'll have a wall up soon to keep them out. I've had one raid from some Reavers. I hid on the roof of my shack until they "left", which is to say they all stopped responding inside said shack. After that cleanup was trivial, and after a few were out they all left.

Farming's getting set up, I can't grow riceweed or cactus but whatever, I can live on meatwraps and foodcubes. This is going to make a great base of operations for my future overthrowing of the Holy Nations and United Cities.

I built two Activated Indium Outposts. 40 million units per 10 hours in real time. And growing as I add storage/output.

The Game That Shall Not Be Named.

And what would that be

[Rolan7]

Oh yeah, I guess the No Man's Sky thread had a lot of drama back in early access release?  I forgot about that.
I don't have time for a proper story but...  It's been intensely satisfying to roll up to Humanist villas with proper weapons. 
Originally I had to make a careful approach in the dark of night, scouting out their armored car and trying to disable it with single use LASS launchers.  Then clear the building by hand, trying not to get flanked with our flak vests and, heh, tower shields.

Nowadays I can just roll up and minigun the genocidal fucks with several hundred pounds of hullmetal rounds.  Goes through walls, floors, and Nazi cosplayers~
As for the armored car, one of my human allies pilots a fricken mecha with a vulcan cannon, which she uses to thoroughly disavow.

Recent purchase, started playing the campaign.  Story missions advance the story, but you can run around doing other random missions for money, xp & loot.  I'm pretty early, only a couple of story missions along (just found out the identity of my backer).  Anyhoo..

Random mission - Clash of Titans.  They detected an assault mech (80-100 ton range) powering up, and then another assault also powering up nearby.  Your mission is to go in, bait them into fighting each other, then clean up the leftovers.  Negotiate for max salvage, and go in with my lance consisting of 55, 50, 45 & 35 ton mechs.  I end up getting a complete set of 3/3 salvage for a 100 ton Atlas...

First time in Zorbus i managed to kill that kobold tribe leader, i guess my character is much more promising than my previous ones.
It was a very fun battle, my old hippofolk pal unfortunately died, but managed to tame/recruit a lion (that died) , an elephant (that died) and a gorilla (that survived) all helped in the big scale battle i was in.

Running away a lot to hide and recover, closing doors, setting chokepoint to avoid getting overwhelmed (there was a couple of chaman roaming around that were summoning animals to help them).

But finally we fought and destroyed them all, clearing this 2nd floor (and getting some very good loot, no wonder that kobold tribe leader was the bane of many of my previous characters),

We even managed to discover a hidden room that ended a bit disapointing in term of loot.

Entered a portal to the trading plane and could only buy 2 healing potion (as i was out of them) as everything awesome in the shops are too expensive at my level of finances.

But i recruited a warrior on that plane before going back to the dungeon and going to floor 3, we're both level 3 and less squishy than our usual, hopefully it's going to get better for our survival.

The game is really one of the best roguelike as it feels "alive" with rooms that seems to have each a story behind them and the AI is actually great, they talk, banter , they can be afraid for their life when things do not go their way and run away, they're not in a boring "everyone vs the player" situation and can duke it out between themselves.

edit :
lost allies, gained other, the battle with the goblin king and his lackeys was very hard but with good use of shadows we could finally pick them one after another , then run away to rest and come back, until only the goblin king was standing.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

He was hard but my rapier of cold was harder.
This battle with the goblins nearly felt like an epic boss fight situation , and it's only the 3 floor of the dungeon

edit more :
my character reached level 5 (a very first for me in Zorbus) , was disapointed that the skill point i added in melee opened new talents , but i didn't had any talent point to get any of them, looks like i'll have to wait for level 6 to get one.

Anyways, after some battle in a large prison-like area, found a new ally as i was alone (lost many good people and animals so far) .
With the precious help of that unicorn murder machine we managed to destroy a Hobgoblin warlord with his troops using lot of hit and run (the unicorn covered my retreat nicely every time, i wonder how he survived the whole ordeal), rest away and attract enemy to convenient places.

Hopefully after all the loot, now that i am very well equipped i should keep that character alive for more floors

Successfully defended against the Reavers. Given they send a lot of men and are pretty well trained (even if their armour and weapons are relatively shit) this is an accomplishment. I got half of them using my 6 MKII harpoon turrets before they even breached the gate. The harpoons made a mess of all the ranged guys, my men took out a few more (they're mostly untrained, so they weren't going to splatter them), everyone but the turret guys got knocked out and they went for the watchtowers, but because the two towers are opposite each other they can actually shoot at targets on the others roof, so the four or so remaining reavers got splattered. Had to deal with the occasional one that'd wake up, but that was easy enough.

Couple of my guys got enslaved, but they were freed before the raiders even left town. Had to redistribute all the stolen weapons which was annoying and they can't go into civilisation until the slave status wears off, but on the whole it was incredibly successful.

Some Zorbus progress

I knew it would be worth it to gain more level (and so have an ally gaining more too), better equipment and come back to finally fight those 2 crazy women that were too overpowered at the floor they were when i ran into them, they killed many of my allies when i was trying to come back once a while thinking a new level was enough, and it was not.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After an opening in which i used my nice sling of fire +3 with some good strong bullets of idontrememberwhatitwas to attract them in the dark, while i had told my ally to wait in another room (to avoid the AI from doing something stupid and ruining my plan) i waited for the boost both "terminatrix" got from the potions they drank when they were attacked to finally disappear.

Then once i was ready i attacked again, this time they followed while i was using my sling to give them a hint to where i was, leading them into my ally.

Once ready, battle started, i used a previously found horn to summon some battle spirit to help us, my ally summoned lions or bears and we duked it out, i drank a few boost (a bull strength potion and a heroism potion) , the battle went longer than i thought because the crazy sisters still had a couple of healing potion, but this time our equipment (i gave some good old loot to my ally to help him survive this) and levels were enough, and after drinking some blink potion each women disappeared who knows where.

Fortunately we found them not too far, oddly they didn't landed too far from each other, but this time there was no escape (and with some healing potion of our own, my party was at full health) .

Both women ran away in different direction once they were hurt enough, but running after my own target i finally managed to kill one of them, Marabellix


Hmm, there's noise of a humanoid dying, i really hope it's not my ally that was stuck with the insane Magyarix that was running away from us.
So i went to check, ready to avenge my good pal and



Wow, he did it, he finally murdered that vicious murderous murderer

And it was worth it going back to fight them, even if it costed us some good potions, because on Marabellix i found

No wonder many of my allies died so fast , so much poison source there.

Perfectly in time , as i recently drank a talent potion to gain a talent point for my next level up , that should be soon, andi'm going to choose the dual wield one to benefit from those pretty pointy things.

Started a new game because I installed a fair few mods.

Doing an anti-slaver run again since my last one ended prematurely. I've captured slavemaster Grande and shoved him into a cage in Spring. It took an hour and a half IRL of kiting and shooting with my eagle's cross, it depleted all of my ammo, and I only got away because my last shot was enough to cripple the final guy so he couldn't keep up as I made off with his employer, but he's out now.

I fought my enemies drunk. As a result, Dionysus blessed my journey, leading me to my first escape with the spear.

Fired an arrow at an enemy heavy infantry wielding two swords. The arrow deflected off one of the swords, and nailed a pikeman behind him in the head.

Tales of Glory. I find the bow in this game to be a little easier to use than the one in Blade & Sorcery. At the very least, ToG enemies don't lock on to your arrow with their weapons so that even a simple knife will deflect almost any shot you make.

[Frumple]

Casual boost ship run ended with the last shot in the last fight dealing a bit over 1400 damage (i.e. enough damage to kill the final boss like two or three times over) to the poor drone that was lingering after I one-shot the final boss from full health/shields and then did the same to their starting ally. Boost deck can get pretty crazy

Game's For the Warp.

I got my first kill against a magma crab in Qud (last time I got very far, you could do most of the game without great equipment). I found a flawless crysteel (second best material in the game?) hat to replace my current one, for a gain of 1 armor, and 3 less penalty to dodge (which will help me get that back to positive). I also found a crysteel mace, but my cyborg hand bones are still slightly better and have no weight (I think), and some other nice stuff to trade to shopkeepers.

The Atlas is good at being big, and also has a lot of options for different ranged attacks. The downside is you always have 1 weapon in good range, and usually one in okay range.

[SOLDIER First]

It's an excellent scout mech, too.
