BioHazerd (A Genetics Game)

[tigerusthegreat]

Through various nefarious deeds and actions, you have been deposited and left for dead on an experimental planet filled with monstrosities. The two scientists there are conducting research on the lifeforms they have dubbed batopods, which were seeded on the planet a few dozen years ago precisely for this research. The only hope for your salvation is the researcher's escape rocket in the research facility. Naturally it only seats two, so very few of you will make it off the planet.

(so we get an action each round?)

Gather food from fungiwood B

[tigerusthegreat]

Each person and each of their batopods (excluding progenitors) can take one action (actions are loosely defined at this point), such as gather funguwood from A. Batopods can also attack/defend other players or sites (so having some at fungiwood B means nobody can use it unless you allow them or they beat your batopods).

Research/trading materials/dropping off materials at the research center are free actions.

[Necroticplague]

Seeing how she's gonna need to build up a base, Gene gets to carefully harvesting fungiwood from sight A.

[Shimeran]

So how do we acquire these batopods? I take it's pointless to do so without a pen to keep them in, so I'll start gathering from fungiwood forest A.

[Feirgon]

Are we using this thread for OOC questions? How do you want us to post our actions? Do we use this thread for RP also?

---

Despondintly, Emily looks around. Her monkey like botapod sits on her right shoulder.

I'll need to create a workspace for myself. What do you say to that Perciville?

The creature makes a "makack!" sound in response.

Agreed, let's look through some scrap.


Emily Nettle will gather from Scrap B.

[razorfloss]

haha""cough"" hahaha they thought they could stop me DR NINJAOCKET but ill show them ill show them all the power of the roach but first i need a place to plan follow me rick we have things to do

rick makes a pssh sound

gathers scrap from pile b

[Jaelesh]

Bob the CPA looks out upon the world as he leaves the main facility, his batopod 'Phil' in tow. Hmm, I guess we should avoid others for now... and try to make the little guy stronger Bob thinks to himself as he walks.

Ending up near a pool of interesting goop, Bob picks up Phil and chucks him in. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" he cries as he does so.

Put Phil in mutagen pool A, and gather some in a container if possible

[tigerusthegreat]

Rule Modifications:

Your progenitor can now take an action (swimming in mutagen counts)

Progenitors can die, just like all batopods.

To get new batopods takes an action (to ensure you keep them requires pens, but you can try to keep some without pens, just FYI)

I will also make an OOC thread and link it in the top post.

[Necroticplague]

While Dr. Gene is busy trying to whittle down pieces of fungus-trees to make stuff, her thoughts drink to alcohol. I mean, return to alcohol."Hmm... a glass jar, some sugar solution, and these mushrooms, I could totally get a still running. Assuming their like earth's mushrooms, and produce ethanol under anaerobic conditions." Of course, her other thoughts return to her little slow piece of meat she has accompanying her. And you can make yourself useful. Go grab some scrap, to help me set up things here." The thing nods in what can hopefully be understanding before sauntering off.

Harvest scrap from Point A's scrap site.

[Shimeran]

Friedrich wiped his brow and scowled. Manual labor is so tedious. "Penelope!", he barked, "See if you can't find something suitably sturdy to help us haul this mess." Hopefully his aerial companion would spot something useful, even if he needed to wrangle the thing down himself.

[tigerusthegreat]

Turn 1 results so far:

Warlock2000:
You and your progenitor gather 125 fungiwood from the plentiful forests.

NecroticPlague:
You gather 100 fungiwood from the plentiful forests, and your progenitor gathers 25 scrap metal

Shimeran:
You and your progenitor gather 125 fungiwood from the plentiful forests.

Feirgon:
You and your progenitor gather 125 scrap metal.

Razorfloss:
You and your progenitor gather 125 scrap metal.

Jaelesh:
You carefully gather some mutagen. You have gathered 15 vials of pure mutagen. Your progenitor "Phil" is changed by the mutagen he swims in. You aren't sure what the affects are until you study him more.

Those that have their results, feel free to post turn 2 stuff. Those that haven't, you have 24 hours to post your turn 1 actions before turn 2 officially starts.

After this I'm going to do about 48-72 hours between turns to keep things moving. I will also post the time when the turn will end with the turn update.

[Feirgon]

Well, that seems to be enough.

She nods at Perciville.

But we'll need some sturdy material to form as a base.

She turns around and notices the fungiwood.

That should do nicely.

Perciville climbs up her arm right and sits on her shoulder as she walks over to the giant mushrooms.


The two of them will be collecting from Fungiwood B.

[Necroticplague]

Satisfied at her productive day harvesting this "wood", she turns her mind to using it now. With it and some of the scrap her tough progenitor, she begins to build a crude shack. An open still is just asking for patapods to wreck things while she's away. At least a real building is some protection. "While I do this, can you be a dear and go get some more of this wood? I have a grander project in mind after building this thing."
DR. Gene:Build a Basic Work Area.
Progenitor: Gather some more wood from fungiforest A

[warlock2000]

The Mad Doc and his beast slip to Scrapyard B to gather some useful material.

[Shimeran]

The Professor look over his collection of timber before signing and turning to his batopod, Penelope. "I'll be busy here for a while girl. See if you can't find something useful in that scrap heap over there. If you run into any trouble, run back here pronto. I need you in one piece."

The professor will be working on a pen this turn while his progenitor tries hauling scrap from scapyard A. She's under standing order to retreat if she gets in danger.

[razorfloss]

yes yes this should do quite nicely puts scarp into bag rick follow me we now need to gather some wood before the others take it all off to the forest we go. Rick scout ahead and run back to me if u see anything dangerous starts humming a song to the tune of let it go

gathers fungi wood from A carefully. rick acts as a scout with orders to return to me if he sees anything dangerous

[Jaelesh]

Done gathering materials, Bob scans the surrounding area from whatever vantage point he can find, looking for some form of shelter materials. Seeing what looks like forest, he decides to go that way.

"Hey, Phil! Enough swimming, let's go to that forest over there." he calls out, gesturing in the general direction of the forest before starting out.

Bob and Phil head out for fungiwood forest A. Bob is harvesting carefully, Phil is going to harvest as much as he can, as fast as he can.

[tigerusthegreat]

Turn 1 is officially done.

Since everyone from turn 1 that posted actions has posted turn 2 actions, I'll go ahead and process them real fast.

Warlock2000:
You and your progenitor have gathered 125 scrap metal

NecroticPlague:
You have built a basic work area. Your preogenitor has gathered 25 fungiwood.


Shimeran:
You have constructed a pen. Your progenitor has gathered 25 scrap metal.

Feirgon:
You and your progenitor have gathered 125 fungiwood

Razorfloss:
You gather 100 fungiwood. As you finish gathering, Rick points out two four-legged batopods with very sharp teeth sparring nearby. It could be dangerous if they notice you.

Jaelesh:
You and your progenitor have gathered 150 fungiwood

I'll do a status update tomorrow, I'm a little tired to calculate everything tonight.

[warlock2000]

Build workshop and send creature to gather mutagen.

(My apologies for such short responses. Should be improving in later turns.)

[Necroticplague]

With the crude shack built out of slices of questionable mushrooms and used metal, Gene is pleased to see her dim-witted companion retuning with more materials. Thinking over what to do with them, she ponders on the use of her little friend. However useful it has been, she realizes a practical limitation or two. She only has one, and it can't be much use in defending her. Even if its strong enough to resist attack, it can't beat off an enemy. She'll need something a bit more aggressive. Maybe a mutagen pool would have some naturally dangerous strains. Setting to it, she starts to build a storage facility near her shack. "As good as you are, the more the merrier! Why don't you go check near that funny spring for some new friends?"

Gene:build pen
Progenitor: use action to gain me new batapod (if relevant, checking near mutatagen pool A)

[Shimeran]

Friedrich wiped the sweat off his brow before surveying his handiwork. He turned as Penelope brought in her last piece of scrap. "Good job girl. Get yourself a quick drink, then we'll head out and see if we can't recruit some more help."

Friedrick is going hunting for a new batapod out near steam geyser A, with his progenitor along to assist in the effort.

[Feirgon]

It seems we have more than enough resources.

Emily takes her collected resources and settles in near steam vent B.

While I work on a work space, could you start collecting some mutagen?

She points at some bottles and then at pool B. Perciville ***** his head to one side and looks back and forth until he grabs the empty vials and heads over to the pools.


Emily will build a work area. Perciville will collect mutagen.

[tigerusthegreat]

Start of turn 3 status
As promised. Looks like you guys are posting super fast. I will give 24 hours for actions for turn 3 to be posted (looks like just 2 to post).

For darklink and Neopteryx: we can catch you up at this point, but after turn 5 you will "start" fresh from that turn. Until then you can post actions for each missed turn.

Effects of turn 3, I am not officially ending it until tomorrow night. I realize this is a holiday weekend for some, and sent a message to our two non-posters.

warlock:
You build your workshop. Your progenitor has collected 5 vials of pure mutagen.

Necroticplague
You build pen. Your batopod comes back with a "friend" It is a short and squat batopod with several odd growths on its pale skin.

Shimeran
You find a couple of batopods sitting in a tree. They are fat bird-like creatures.

Feirgon
You build a work area, and your progenitor returns with 5 vials of pure mutagen.

[razorfloss]

whispers oh dear this could end badly rick we must proceed quietly slowly starts to back away after putting wood in bag and looks for a place to hide

[tigerusthegreat]

whispers oh dear this could end badly rick we must proceed quietly slowly starts to back away after putting wood in bag and looks for a place to hide

The two batopods ignore you as you escape.

[Shimeran]

Friedrich studied the creature carefully for a while. Forcably subduing them seem unwise. He'd need to rely on more traditional methods of domestication. If they're anything like normal birds, the shape of their beaks should be indicative of their diets.

Taking his best guess, Friedrich backed up a bit and rolled lines of protein paste in leaves. With any luck these would look sufficiently like caterpillars to catch the creature's interest.

Returning to the tree, he tossed one of the mock caterpillars underhand to land just in from of the creatures. With any luck he'd be able to lure at lest one of the creatures back to the pens with those treats. Sure, the ploy might cost him his lunch, but the pay off should be worth it.

He gestured for Penelope to hold her distance during this operation. The last thing he needed was these creatures getting any ideas about his insectoid ally.

[Jaelesh]

That's enough wood! Bob calls out to Phil, Let's not take the whole forest.

Climbing a nearby tree, he yet again scouts the area for any interesting landmarks. Seeing two fields of scrap on the opposite side of the island, he slides down and jogs towards Phil. Looks like we can salvage some broken bits and pieces over there Boy... Girl... whatever the hell you are. and begins to trek towards the metal piles, keeping his distance from the central tower.

Maybe we will get lucky and find a still working storage unit... I really want a doughnut right now... maybe a soda too... he thinks to himself as he goes.

Soon... Soon I will strike Phil thinks, before following.

Both Bob and Phil are going to scrap heap B and harvesting as much as they can.

[tigerusthegreat]

Start of turn 4 status
You have 48 hours to post turn 4 actions. Additionally, anyone who has missed an action since turn 1 has until the end of turn 5 to make up actions.

Jaelesh:
You successfully gather 125 scrap metal

[Necroticplague]

Dr Gene has a new specimen, and new clue how the heck it works. The growth make it look like a step in the right direction, but those could just be glands. Still useful, but requires further investigation. She straps a few phials made from fungus to the proginetor. "Go head to a pool like where you found this. And gather the goop in it. Don't drink the stuff. At least, not yet." Meanwhile, after giving it some of the fungus-wood as food (man, this stuff does everything on this island!), she lets it out of the kennel, watching how it acts.

Gene:Observe new Batapod
New Batapod: act in such a way to be observed.
Proginetor: Go gather from mutagen pool B.

[tigerusthegreat]

I'm happy to announce my random batopod genome generator is complete, taking a lot of work off of me for figuring out what the new batopods have. Still working on other aspects of it (storing data for me, mutating existing batopods, breeding, crossbreeding, cloning, etc).

Necrotic Plague
Observing doesn't use your action, just the batopods. You notice that it can squirt some sort of liquid out of the tumors, which sizzles against the fungiwood pen. Also it appears to be very nimble and hard to get ahold of. Your progenitor gathers 5 vials of pure mutagen.

[Feirgon]

Dr. Nettle wipes the sweat off of her brow.

Well, this should definitely due. What do you think?

She asks as she turns to look at Perciville as he returns with a few bottles of mutagen. She the lean leans down and pats the creature on its head.

How about you go find some friends and bring them back here? I'll start on the pens to help keep you guys safe.


Emily will build batopod pens.
Perciville will try to find some new batopods.

[Shimeran]

Friedrich looks over his newest addition carefully. It seems pliable enough, but how useful would it end up being. He turned to his progenitor, Penelope, go get some more scrap from the yard. I'll familiarize our new guest with how things work around here." Picking up a length of pipe, he continues, Maybe it can help me with a little construction project I've got in mind.

Progenitor will gather scrap fro yard A, with standing orders to fall back if attacked. Friedrick will start building a work area. The new batopod is helping, but the focus will actually be on training it to follow commands. I figure the time lost training it is balanced out by it's contribution to the construction project, but let me know if I'm off.
If they're immediately obedient, let me know and I'll reassign it the gathering duty, most likely from fungal forest A.

[Necroticplague]

With her noting the action of the batapod done for now, gene heads over to grab more of this goo for herself. Yep, definitely a step in the right direction.
Gene:gather from mutagen pool B

[tigerusthegreat]

At this point in the game Batopods are fully trained when they are "captured" This may change.

[Shimeran]

Dusting of his jacket sleeves, Friedrich turns to regard his latest creature. It seemed to have fetching tools down. Maybe it was time to give it a try at a bigger job. "Alright fella. See these timbers here." He gestures toward some of the fungal wood before continuing. This little project is going to eat up a fair share of our stocks. See if you can gather a few more from the woods over there while I finish things up."
Going to send the new batapod to gather from Fungal Forest A.

[tigerusthegreat]

Actions so far:

NecroticPlauge
You notice that it can squirt some sort of liquid out of the tumors, which sizzles against the fungiwood pen. Also it appears to be very nimble and hard to get ahold of. Your progenitor gathers 5 vials of pure mutagen.

Feirgon
You build some pens. Your progenitor returns with some sort of short wormy creature.

Shimeran
You build a basic work area. Your progenitor gathers 25 scrap. Your new batopod gathers 25 fungal wood.

24 hours until I process the turn

[darklink_shadow]

Might as well do this now that my questions were answered.

Turn 1
Send Yuki, my rabbit, to gather scrap from Scrap Pile A
Gather Wood from Forest A.

Turn 2
Send Yuki, my rabbit, to gather scrap from Scrap Pile A
Gather Wood from Forest A.

Turn 3
Send Yuki, my rabbit, to gather mutagen from Mutagen place A
Gather Wood from Forest A.

Turn 4
Send Yuki, my rabbit, to gather scrap from Mutagen place A
Build a Batopod Pen

Turn 5
Send Yuki, my rabbit, to gather batopods
Build a Basic Work Area

And I don't talk to myself. I'm not crazy. Just wanting to get this up before it's too late to have my early game actions counted.

[Shimeran]

Friedrich looked over his handiwork. The facilities were pretty limited, but it was a decent start. He turned to his companions. "Penelope, keep up grabbing the shiny scrap. I'd like to get a decent stockpile going. Birdo, see if you can't bring in one of your friend in. I'll send you with a couple extra snack to lure them in. I'll be back in a bit, after I see if I can locate any more pals for our little pack."


Progenitor: Gathering Scrap from pile A.
Character: Hunting for new batapods near geyer B.
Batapod 1: Trying to recruit another one of the same type from where it was found.

[Feirgon]

Hmmmm, well aren't you an interesting specimen.

Emily sits with her legs crossed, a notepad and pencil in her hands as she looks, down at the newest batopod has brought her. She stares intently for a moment before her eyes widen.

I shall name you Robin!

She begins jotting down a few things before looking up at Perciville.

Could you look for another? I would like to see more unique ones if you can.

The batopod turns it head slightly to the side before scurrying off into the woods.

As for you, let's see what you are all about.


Perciville - look for new batopods
Robin - act natural

Emily - (observe Robin)

I am pretty sure you stated that observing a batopod did not take up an action, but I wanted to check first. Also, with a workbench, is there any type of research I can actively do now? Or do we need to unlock the research abilities?

[tigerusthegreat]

You can perform the research listed after getting a basic work area. Costs for individual research is twice what is listed (values listed are for the research lab to do it and anyone can contribute to those projects)

Observing a batopod does not take an action for the player, just the batopod

[Necroticplague]

"O.k., we've got a good little base set up. Of course, the woods looked a little on the short side, probably from all the competition. Time to start really doing stuff. Here's the plan:....". With this, she begins to harvest some more wood as the newer batapod stands at the ready and the older armadillo goes looking for reinforcements.

gene:harvest from fungiforest b.
Squat batapod with growths: defend fungiforest b.
Progenitor: acquire new batapod from area near steam vent a.

[Feirgon]

While she watches Robin, Dr. Nettle collects some mutagen from the nearby pool.


Emily - collect from pool B

[tigerusthegreat]

Ahh what a fine piece of work i have here now to add my pens and it shall be complete sees rick approach with the crab thing hmm what do we have here. hmm you look interesting. if y guess is right and you are what i think you are you will rove useful. now how shall i keep here until i finish the pens. Eureka!!!! i know exactly what i should do nNinja you've done it again. rick act nice while i prepare our new friends home


distarcts the crab ting till i finish its new home

builds pens

now that the pens are done i can see what our new friend is. rick go collect some wood form forest b

examine the new batapod

collects wood form forest b

"You two:keep doing what you're doing. You:Follow me around, lets see what you're made out of." Once these simple commands are given, she took takes again piles of lumber to add an expansion to her current housing, even shoring up some little disrepaired parts (these buildings seem susceptible to over time damage. Probably a side-effect of making your building out of the most common food source around.

[tigerusthegreat]

NecroticPlague and Razorfloss
Razorfloss's progenitor approaches fungiwood forest B to gather fungiwood. NecroticPlague's squat batopod is preventing him. The two fight for dominance of the resource.

Rick wins initiative. The two are at range, so Rick spits at the squat batopod. The squat batopod dodges the attack.

The squat batopod now returns the favor, squirting noxious liquid from his tumors. It splashes against Rick's exoskeleton, burning him.

Rick has closed to melee. Rick's bite injures the squat batopod.

The squat batopod bites back, but misses.

Rick has won the combat. The squat batopod, lightly injured, returns to its master, and Rick is able to gather 25 fungiwood.


Darklink
You build another pen. Your batopods return with two new batopods. One is a thin, snakelike creature. The other is a horned rabbit.

razorfloss
Rick gathers 25 fungiwood. The new batopod is clearly built for melee attack and defense, as well as being quick. (You still can act, as observing does not take an action)

NecroticPlauge
Your squat batopod returns, lightly injured. It has failed defending fungiwood forest B. Your new batopod seems skilled at ranged and melee defense, as well as dodging. You build a new pen. Your progenitor returns with a new batopod, a rabbit.

[Shimeran]

Friedrich looks over his latest finds. "This is a good start, but I think we could use a few more point of comparison. Penelope, take the birds with you to one of the vents and gather up whaat creatures you can, with an eye toward new species. I'll take out reptilian friend and do the same with the other vent."

Progenitor and both birds are looking for new batopods at steam vent A. Friedrich and the lizard batopod are doing a similar search at vent B.

[razorfloss]

hmm you since you are exactly what i thought you are so your name shall be king. welcome to your new home but now that i have two pets i will need to start to expand and get more supplies. king go to forest a and get some wood rick with me while i go collect form b

goes to collect more wood form b

Wait, I thought it was the squat, acid-spraying one that was injured, not the round one. You also said the round one also had dodge.

Seeing she's now one trooper injured, she has to re-do her plans to account for this: "O.k, you tried, rest up. Can't have anybody here operating at half-steam. You two, keep recruiting. You, follow me. You, come with me, show me watcha got." She then takes a moment to marvel at how tameable these things are. Probably "seeded" with genes for a strong pack instinct way back whenever.

Progenitor:Go look near mutagen pond B for new batapod
Squat with growths:rest up in the pens
Round: look near mutagen pond A for new batapod
Rabbit:act examinable
Gene:Harvest from fungiforest A

[darklink_shadow]

Dr. Von O'Langer looks over the new rabbit with relish. This is the creature she had hoped to find. Something with horns is something that could fight.

Actions:
Breed Rabbit and Horned Rabbit.

Send Snake and Tortoise to gather more horned rabbits if they can.

[Shimeran]

"Good job, crew. I'm sticking the birds on finishing up the hunt. The rest of you, come with me. We've got some gathering to do."

Birds are looking for batapods at steam geyser A. Everyone else is going to fungal forest B to gather timber.

[tigerusthegreat]

necrotic
Your Progenitor finds an armadillo-like batopod.
Your squat batopod rests, recovering from his injuries.
Your round batopod finds a rock-like batopod.
Your rabbit is skilled at melee attack, ranged defense, and speed
You gather 100 fungiwood from forest A

darklink
Your two batopods do not find any more horned rabbits.
Your two rabbits breed, producing 3 children, one horned rabbit and two non-horned rabbits.
(you still have your action)


shimeran
You and your army go to gather 275 fungiwood from fungiwood forest B. Your two birds find a porcupine and another slug.

[darklink_shadow]

Do the batopods have deleterious recessive genes? To put it another way, can they safely inbreed?

And for my action, I go looking for horned rabbits as well.

[tigerusthegreat]

Btopods can safely inbreed. When they breed they gets some genetic code from each parent and go through a few minor mutations (up to six genes mutated, but in testing it ends up being 1 or 2 fairly regularly)

[Feirgon]

Emily squints at the newest batopod in her collection.

Interesting...

She brings a finger to her lips and taps a couple of times.

How about....Tristan...yes, I like that.

She then turns to the other two.

Ok, let's see what you two can produce.

She points at a spot in the pens with extra leaves.

I don't think I have to spell this out for you, yes?

She then turns her attention to Tristan and observes him intently. Though, she does collecting some fungiwood while he's sleeping and doing other "boring" things.


Emily: observe Tristan (round bouncy batopod) and collect from Fungiwood A
Perciville + Robin = Love
Tristan: act natural

[darklink_shadow]

And how long is the gestation and how long until they reach sexual maturity? Furthermore, are the hermaphroditic?

[tigerusthegreat]

Batopods have a very quick gestation period (babies are available and fully grown next turn, so if your batopods get nasty this turn, their kids can work next turn).

They are hermaphroditic but not asexual, so any batopod can breed with any other batopod.



I will process turn here in a hour or two as I think everyone here has posted. (well everyone but razorfloss)

[tigerusthegreat]

In the interest of fairness for razorfloss (and since I said 48 hours and it has been 24ish) I'll give the final updates for this turn for those who have posted, and allow you to post turn 8 actions if you wish (please put turn 8 somewhere in the post so I can easily differentiate)

darklink
You manage to find a slightly different kind of horned rabbit.

Feirgon
You gather 100 fungiwood from forest A
Tristan appears to be good at ranged defense, melee defense, and is fast
Robin and Perceville mate, and make two baby batopods. Both are wormlike batopods without remarkable appearances.

[darklink_shadow]

Dr. Von O'Langer looks at the small number of rabbits and has each horned rabbit breed, as well as Yuki, my protogen. Her other creatures go to gather wood from wood place B, while Dr. Von O'Langer builds another pen.

[tigerusthegreat]

darklink:
Breeding takes up both batopod's action, so each can breed once per turn. Because of this, who breeds with who matters. You currently have:
Progenitor1
Tortoise1
Snake
Horned
Rabbit1
Horned1
Rabbit2
Horned2

So you want the progenitor, horned, horned 1 and horned2 to breed, who will breed with who?

[darklink_shadow]

Yuki, my main rabbit will mate with the one Horned rabbit #[roll0]

Good job crew. Penelope, you and Lizzie take some sample from that pool over there to the lab. I've got a special assignment I want them to look into. The rest of you with me. He flashes a grin "We're going hunting."

Progenitor and lizard batopod are harvesting mutagen from pool A for crossbreeding research at the central lab. Friedrich and the remaining 9 batapods are hunting for new batapods at steam geyser B.

On a side note, I had 315 wood last turn and gathered 275 this turn. I know I spent 100 on the second pen, but how am I down to 215? Did the 275 from the new gather not get counted yet?

[Feirgon]

Dr. Nettle watches the two bouncymonkeys as she builds a medical facility. She pauses when she realizes the other five batopods are staring at her.

What? Can't you see I have my hands full? Oh, right.

She clears her throat as she looks at the five assembled together.

You two, I need some more lumber, please collect some. The rest of you, I would like you to find new creatures to bring home.

Despite the confused looks, she goes back to building the medical facility.


Emily - watch the two new batopods and build a Medical Facility
worm1 and worm2 - collect from Fungiwood A

"Alright you two, join the others. They'll show you what to do."

Continuing the action from last turn with the new arrivals on my main team, so:
Progenitor and Friedrich will hunt batopods in scrap yard B. The remaining 16 batapods will gather lumber from Fungal Forest A for the crossbreeding project at the central lab.

[darklink_shadow]

Dr. Von O'Langer looked up her horde of rabbits with glee. Only two members of her horde were unsightly. Snake, tortoise, we no longer need your services, but I thank you greatly for them. Leave us now.

Having dismissed the undesirables, she turned to her horde, whose numbers outweighted their pens. Very well. I shall construct you additional pens.


Dr. Von O'Langer will build a pen. All rabbits will collect wood from forest A, except Yuki will collect Mutagen.

Progenitor only sticks around for free until the first pen is built.

[Feirgon]

Emily looked at the many batopods in her employ and realized that growth would necessitate more room. So she picked up her tools and began building a second pen.

She then ordered a few to collect more fungiwood and some to reproduce.

Between all this work, she donated a few resources to the central lab to go toward crossbreeding.


Emily - build pen
Merlin and Robin - mate
Tristan and Lancelot - mate
Perciville, worm1, worm2, bouncymonkey1, bouncymonkey2, rabbit - collect from Fungiwood A

Donate 100 scrap to crossbreeding

"Almost their, we just need to stockpile a little more, and that should be everything i want for now. Rest of you, switch gears to goop, it's what we all need." The sound of the frenzied mob of batapods scurrying around and the constant act of making her base bigger have been keeping her busy, but it sure beats the early days of hanging around, waiting for an oppurtunity with little to do. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Gene: Keep expanding the pens
Progenitor,squat with growths, round, armadillo2, and spikey gnome2 all harvest from fungiforest A
Rest:Gather mutagen from pool B
Free:Donate mutagen to crossbreeding research.
Free: ponder how much more the forests can sustain all of our rapid expansionist streaks before we run out of wood to use to build buildings, locking all of our progress towards building better bases.
Free: Weigh choices of using mass breeding to completely fill pens later, or carefully breeding the most productive ones with the largest amount of genes at a slower rate, balancing slower rate to fill pens with higher quality (since batapod cap means breeding only helps so much).

[darklink_shadow]

Dr. Von O'Langer brushes her hands clean and looks at the pathetic pile of scrap she has. Alright, troops, we need some metal. Go get me some!


Von O'Langer: Build a basic medical facility
Yuki: Collect Mutagen from pool A.
Everyone else, collect scrap from pile A.

you gather 100 wood from A
you build a pen
you gather 95 pure mutagen from B(75 donated, donations for mutagen crossbreeding finished)

PONDER: You notice that both forests are giving less wood, and wood gathering in the last couple turns has rapidly exceeded all those before it (dun dun dun).

PONDER2: More batopods means more resources, you could always release the ones you don't like later.

Dr. Von O'Langer bite her thumb, and thought. She needed more information about her troops, so she decided to inspect them while she worked.


Build a silo.

All Rabbits, except 13, collect Mutagen from Pool A
All Horned rabbits, and rabbit 13 fight.
(If order matters, 1 with 2, 3 with 4, etc until 25 fights with the regular rabbit.)
Yuki Collects Scrap from A.

[Shimeran]

"Alright critters and critettes, let's move on to the next site. The spine backs will join me on the next round of hunting."

Fredrich, progenitor, and porcupines will hunt for batapods in fungal forest b while the remaining 14 batapods will gather wood from said forest for crossbreeding research. Repeat for turn 13 and put any excess wood in stocks.

[Necroticplague]

"O.K., lets stock up here, we could always use more stuff. Get going kiddos."

Gene:Build Pens
Batapods:progenitor, armadillo2, spikey gnome 2, round,spikey gnome 3, armadillo3, adder, porcupine, rock-like:harvest mutagen from pool A

[razorfloss]

good job all. we now have enough material to build an arena but we cant stop here we need more supplies if we want to get everything competently set up. oh and how could i forget i still haven't named u four hmm gnome 1 you will be Junior , gnome 2 u will be catdog, blob u will be blob and worm 2 you will be wormy


collect scarp from pile a

collect wood from forest A

they mate

build arena

[Feirgon]

Turn 12

Emily looks quizzically at the by products of the mating. She nods as looks at the three batopods produced by Tristan and Lancelot, but raises an eyebrow at the offspring of Merlin and Robin.

Rabbits? How does that even happen...?

She spends some time observing the five new batopods and orders to the couples to switch partners.

The rest, led by Perciville, switch to collecting scrap metal.


Emily observe newest batopods, collect mutagen.
Tristan and Merlin mate.
Lancelot and Robin mate.
Perciville, worm1, worm2, bouncymonkey1, bouncymonkey2, rabbit - collect from Scrap B

Rabbit2, Rabbit3, Horned Rabbit 2, Horned Rabbit 3, Porcupine - act natural

I will post Turn 13 actions after seeing the results of Turn 12.

[tigerusthegreat]

Turn 12 retcons:

Shimeran
You gather 280 wood from B, and donate them.

razorfloss

Lancelot and Robin: 2 children: Horned Rabbit 5 and Horned Rabbit 6

[Feirgon]

Turn 13

After looking them over thoroughly, she puts her hands on her hips. Then addresses the porcupine.

You are Gwen.

Ok, so what new children do we have here?

Looking at Lancelot's and Robin's children, she smiles happily. But then she turns and looks at the children for Merlin and Tristan and she furls her brow. She slowly turns to look directly at Merlin and squints her eyes.

There's something wrong with you.

No matter! We are making great breakthroughs in science and I have all of you to thank.

Most of the batopods pay her no heed.

But we cannot stop here, there are many who are in need of my research and it would be most disagreeable to see it wasted.

She closes her eyes and puts a hand to her chest.

Let us not lose sight of our valiant goal.


Emily-Build silo and observe newest batopods (worm3, blob1, hr4, hr5, hr6)

Gwen and Lancelot mate.

The other 13 collect from Fungiwood B

well rickey and blob u make some interesting children as usaual. now lets see what to name the little monsters blob 1 u will be Grim and blob 2 u will be nicki. ok now that the arena is built lets test it out shall we. first up will be blob and catdog go in the arena and fight but remeber to not kill each other. the rest back to scavenging we will need a medical unit soon

collect wood from forest b

collect scarp from pile B

they fight in arena

examines grim and nicki and collects wood from forest b

Turn 14

As she starts to examine the newest batopods, Dr. Nettle notices that there is not enough room for the number of batopods in her employ.

You three do not interest me. You are free to leave.

She waves her hand as she dismisses the worms.

Now, let us continue our exciting work, shall we?


Emily - observe three new batopods, collect from Mutagen B, donate 100 fungiwood to dna solvents
3 new ones act natural
8 collect from Scrap Pile B

Dr. Von O'Langer looks at her supplies again, and sets back to work.


I made a silo last turn. I'll make another silo.

Any way to make it more obvious what my batopods have for traits?

Anyways, I send enough rabbits to collect 40 mutagen.
If any are left over, I send them to gather up wood from forest A.

Dr. Von O'Langer decides to inspect the troops.

Build a pen.

All people get observed.

"Oooh...interesting developement. Put our currrent plans on hold a bit, guys, I need some of you to switch gears."
Armadillo, Squat, Round:Gather scrap from scrap pile A
New ones: act examinable
Rest: gather from scrap pile B
Gene:Build Pens

[Shimeran]

"Excellent job, minions. Now see if you can grab some shiny bits. I have a little project in mind."

Do we need the resources for a project at the start of the turn, or are we fine as long as we have the resources when the turn ends? Right now, I'm planning on having Friedrich build a cross breeding lab while the progenitor and batapods gather scrap from yard B. I'm short about 35 units of scrap, but I figure the crew can easily gather that much by end of turn.

As long as you have the resources by turn end you can build a building.

However, the gamble is that if you don't have the resources by the end of the turn, your action is wasted.

[razorfloss]

ok all we still need suplies so everyone go get wood ill get the scarp



collect wood from forets A

collect scap from pile B
so what happened when blob and catdog got into the arena?

[Feirgon]

Turn 15


My status isn't correct as I had collect Scrap Metal and that was not added in. I will be assigning my actions based on what the correct info is.


Ah, now our works begins in earnest.

Commanding Gwen and Lancelot to mate, she begins building a crossbreeding center.

The rest of you, split up your efforts and collect more resources!


Gwen and Lancelot mate
5 collect from Fungiwood B
6 collect from Pool A
6 collect from Pool B
Emily - Build Crossbreeding Lab (using lowest purity mutagen after collecting), donate 100 scrap metal to DNA solvents research.

While processing the turn, I've discovered some major flaws in several mechanics of this game, including crossbreeding, resource balance, and even the base structure of the batopod genetic code (it makes certain genes more easily gained, and more common, which is not intentional). One of the more major problems is that it is infinitely easier to get a bunch of batopods through random searching and find a powerful one than it is to get a powerful one through breeding and crossbreeding or actual genetic manipulation. Because of this, most of the game and technology is pointless.

I am going to do an analysis of the rules, and figure out the problems, and will return with a new version of this game sometime in the next few months I hope. Work is very hectic for me, so I'm not sure when I will get a chance to do this. However, I will also be building tools to automate most of this game for the future to make processing faster/automatic.

For those interested, I've put your spreadsheet online containing all the batopods as of last turn.
