Day 111:
Some days I swear all I have to do is cross a threshold underground and there’s a horror squid waiting for me. Today’s bruised me up pretty badly, and wrecked some of my stuff, but I eventually beat him.
I think I need to build better weapons, but out of what? I have found exactly two metals out here, and that’s iron and gold. (The chunk of gold I found today. It’s a pretty sizable nugget, but has a lot of other crap rock mixed into it, so it’s not exactly a high quality. And for all I’ve been digging, it’s an indication of the scarcity of gold that it’s taken me this long to find some.)
It’s not much of a surprise that this little planet isn’t metal-rich. If it was loaded with heavy metals it probably would’ve drawn more debris in during its formation and the planet would’ve been bigger. The benefits of the planet’s size and lack of heavy metals is that gravity isn’t nearly as strong as it would be on, say, earth, where most of these explosions would’ve been a lot more deadly as they threw me into their.
Either way I’d like to get rid of the squid. And maybe make a mirror somehow. I’m sure this is a hell of a shiner on my left eye but I’ve got no way to take a look at it.
