Today&#8217;s bruised me up pretty badly, and wrecked some of my stuff, but I eventually beat him.<\/p>\n<p>I think I need to build better weapons, but out of what? I have found exactly two metals out here, and that&#8217;s iron and gold. (The chunk of gold I found today. It&#8217;s a pretty sizable nugget, but has a lot of other crap rock mixed into it, so it&#8217;s not exactly a high quality. And for all I&#8217;ve been digging, it&#8217;s an indication of the scarcity of gold that it&#8217;s taken me this long to find some.)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not much of a surprise that this little planet isn&#8217;t metal-rich. If it was loaded with heavy metals it probably would&#8217;ve drawn more debris in during its formation and the planet would&#8217;ve been bigger. The benefits of the planet&#8217;s size and lack of heavy metals is that gravity isn&#8217;t nearly as strong as it would be on, say, earth, where most of these explosions would&#8217;ve been a lot more deadly as they threw me into their.<\/p>\n<p>Either way I&#8217;d like to get rid of the squid. And maybe make a mirror somehow. I&#8217;m sure this is a hell of a shiner on my left eye but I&#8217;ve got no way to take a look at it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_841\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-841\" style=\"width: 2732px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/One-Among-The-Dead-110.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-841\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/One-Among-The-Dead-110.png?resize=525%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A sketch of the center of a planet - a circle representing the outer crust, a very wide circle representing the mantle, and a very tiny circle in the center representing a very small iron core. \" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/One-Among-The-Dead-110.png?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/One-Among-The-Dead-110.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/One-Among-The-Dead-110.png?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/One-Among-The-Dead-110.png?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I do remember a little of the planetary briefing before everything went pear-shaped<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 111: Some days I swear all I have to do is cross a threshold underground and there&#8217;s a horror squid waiting for me.
