Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

Quoting in case anyone missed it on the last page:

Good stream, After Action Report coming up tomorrow.

Game is going to start progressing pretty aggressively. I'll also be sure to do a bit more explanation in the next stream like I did at the end of the episode as I know a lot of you are not fully aware of why I'm doing certain things.

Next episode (Saturday at 7pm EST) we will be working on getting our cult set up!

Please post your great cult name ideas for our lovely groverhaus colony.

Ep. 6 Synopsis:

BUGS!



Started the episode at a slow pace, with two military aid convoys attacking an infestation to the north of groverhaus. We stayed barricaded inside our mountain, watching as the insects slaughtered all of our allies, and surely devouring their brains to gain their knowledge. It was a massacre, three different groups of humans (as traders had shown up later) were all mercilessly slaughtered by the intelligent bug species.





Once the remnants of the bugs had been dealt with, and the dead bodies of our former compatriots looted (THANKS FOR THE STUFF) we turned towards increasing the size of the base at long last. ((I am an idiot and used the plan feature instead of the mining commands and spent three episodes mad about priorities because I didn't understand why they weren't mining.))



A sudden influx of animals accustom to human interaction; a lovely group of huskies, some hermit crabs, and others. Suddenly our small colony was bustling with life. Unfortunately for the animals, it wasn't the kind of life we wanted in our colony. We herded a specific group of animals (cows, yaks, pigs) to a barn hastily built within the valley before slaughtering the remaining animals and anymore animals that showed up throughout the episode.



Seriously, this is too many ducks.



We spent the entirety of this episode slaughtering animals. :wtc:

A freak weather incident caused globs of vomit to fall from the sky once again, much to the dismay of everyone involved. As our poor housekeeper cats attempted to clean up after the fury of twitch chat to no avail.



Another infestation would later plague the base, forcing us to perform our first real test of the entry way choke point and put our pawns at risk. With Oak, Maple & Tsao keeping the bugs on the far side of the bridge, Deadmeat Trot, Skullywag supplying covering fire & B'yleth healing we would eventually push the bugs back before destroying them. However, they did manage to destroy our advanced geothermal power plant. Minutes after the fighting ended, a group of travelers would arrive to give us help and support. Though we appreciated the gesture, we would have appreciated the framerate more.



WE YIELD TO NO BUG






We would eventually be hemmed into the base once more, this time by dinosaurs. As of this minute, these crazed, long-necked herbivores stand ever vigilant, waiting for a taste of human flesh. :black101:




Ashnjack we need to have a talk...

Was trying to figure out why Androids Expanded breaks my load order so that the UI bugs out whenever I click on a fabrication bench (found a workaround: the bench can only be used outdoors) and might have accidentally discovered what was causing your Music Manager issue: it could have something to do with the fact that Dubs Performance Monitor config has a "disable music manager" option?

You didn't by any chance just go down the list clicking every button, right? :ghost:


edit to correct: somehow it was Craftable Artifacts that borked the fabrication bench. Took way too long to debug but that's just the price of failing to notice I had ~350 mods active.

You're already locking me in a small room because of my degenerate, (as soon as I can get the points) cannibalistic, hendonistic ways. What more do you want from me?

Edit: I now eat people :)

Did a BUNCH off screen, and possibly got rimthreaded working, though it seems a bit buggy yet. Hopefully I can get it evened out and we can up around 300-500TPS for the streams!

Rimthreaded works, playing around with it last night. Averaging 250 TPS even with 15 colonists.

Due to my own amazing inability to play this game, half the characters are dead, and the other half are starving to death and bedridden.

Not quite enough vomit, war crimes, and absurd mental breaks, but you're pretty on-track for understanding how to play the game.

When you have a manhunting pack of squirrels threatening to tear you limb from limb if you open the wrong door, people are digging up corpses and dumping them on the kitchen table because they've been inside too long, and you're evaluating meals consumed by prisoners against medical experience gain potential via loss of morals then you will have mastered the game.
