Day 214:
Arm’s feeling good enough to go do some light mining. I’m staying relatively nearby one of my more fortified locations and I’m really wishing this planet had painkillers. But I’m also finding coal, which I need pretty badly if I’m going to smelt enough metal to make more boots.
Yes, plenty of waterlogged leather boots from an assumed-ancient civilization are available, but they don’t do much to protect me from exploding giraffe-corgis, and my feet are only just starting to feel normal after that last run-in. So it’s solid stone or metal boots, or nothing.
I’d love to find more of that diamond-like stone because it made for pretty good body armor when carved correctly. But one can’t have everything.
Because if one could have everything I wouldn’t be eating leftover ducken-carrot stew for lunch
