Remember, don't shoot food.

After collecting the Titanium. I make a walker and name it Titan Walker.

Yes, because clearly you can make an entire walker out of one titanium nugget.

Well then, let's go!

DISCLAIMER: Only 1 bound item per person. You can't have everything bound to yourself.
Kian, you need to choose which bounded weapon/item to discard.

Crazee Pi, IGN dragonfly wings can be attached to vehicles and Matik Co. ones can be used by you.

What Titanium? Wrong Planet!
Potatopia Glossary of Minerals (correct me if wrong priced)
Wood - refined to Biofuel - 3/6 CnS - used only as fuel
Bioli - refined to Biolum Capsule - 20/40 CnS - used as fuel and to project engines and seats
Tokanium - refined to Tokannia Ingot - 15/30 CnS - hard metal used for armor plating
Olieettee - refined to Olieeus Capsule - 50/100 CnS - used as the fuel or for jet engines
Blickanite - refined to Blickania Ingot - 25/50 CnS - basic ingredient for blocks
Blingite - refined to Blingian Crystal - 10/20 CnS - used for lights
Periblank - refined to Periful Crystals - 60/120 CnS - used for machines
Ignitium - refined to Ignitian Crystal - 50/100 CnS - used for heating weapons/creating fiery weapons
Twilightia - refined to Twilightium Crystal - 75/150 CnS - used for itens with holding capabilities

In that case, Kian searches and mines for 3 Tokanium, then brings to base for refining.
A Silo falls on Kian. It can be used to store minerals to use later or for selling! The Silo holds only 10 minerals.
Silo Storage: 3 Tokannia
You can upgrade it, just get Magic Rarities from enchanted items.
Each enchant level adds 5 storage to the Silo.

IGN Block ordered. Beginning assembly.
Payload will be delivered next to your base.

IGN Local/Global/Space Transmitter = 30/70/120 CnS.
Matik Co. versions are half the IGN's price.

You CAN'T make 1 walker out of 1 Tokannia Ingot!

Larry is now part of our team.
All miners (Larry, Timmy, Walker) mine the following:
- 5 Blickanite
- 2 Periblanks
- 1 Olieettee
Refined into:
- 5 Blickanium
- 2 Perifulls
- 1 Olieeus
Whoops! Silo full! 1 Blickanium is being sold.
50 CnS earned.

10 twigs.

Remember, don't shoot food.

Would a small robot count as a vehicle or do I need Matik Co. ones?

I put the block away, where it can't be used to build the space station.

I take the Tokanium and fabricate it with the Stone Dome, upgrading it to a Tokanium Dome.

I buy two Matik Co. local transmitters and scrap them both.

I talk to the Prospector.

Matik, you should put stuff like the link to the terminal, players, and fabrication records in the OP.

I look into the "New Monster - Free!" option under Munstar Incorporated in the terminal.

Programming Kian's Autosteer.

:research randomtech //Researches any Tech
:if event = Range 5 "story" //Story Event [!!!!!]
::end
:else
::if event = Range 5 "base under attack" //Base Under Attack [!!!!!]
:initiate fight

:while in combat
::Strike
::Strike
::Powastrike //Powastrike = 3 Strikes in a row, double damage
::say Regen!
:::when HP = Critical!
::retreat
:::when HP = 1

So, Kian will research tech until he posts/story event.
At "Base Under Attack" events he initiates a defense battle.
In battles, he does a Strike combo and retreats when HP is 1.
If he reaches critical state, he screams "Regen!"

oh.

I discard the Laser Miner and Luminite Pickaxe by dropping them. Unbinding them.

I then pick them up. Now that there not bound omly the aligned SUHDB 2.0 is bound.

Feel free to salvage my 2 miners if you didnt expect that.

After that. I look for 15 Tokanium ingots to make into a smalll walker that can climb any surface.

I don't think you can make a walker with just Tokanium.

Plus I doubt you'd be able to get 15 in one turn. You'll probably just get 3 instead.

For the basic Walker, you

For the basic Walker, you need:
3 Wannabe Legs (IGN)/2 Exolegs for mechs, also from IGN
1 IGN Pilot Seat

For your current needs, you need:
4 IGN Panzbang Legs
10 IGN Blocks
5 IGN Armor Plates
1 IGN Pilot Seat
Any weapons

I won't tell you how to make Panzbang legs, but for blocks, use 2 Blickania.
We can make 2 blocks with 4 Blickania.

Also, you can steer the Walker we already have.

Discard and pickup doesn't work, so you get scrap from your laser miner and luminite pickaxe.
- 2 Celestian Crystals [3%}
- 1 Twilightium
- 1 Blickania
- 3 Tokannia

You use the Terminal, scroll to "New Monster - Free!" and click the drop down menu.

Remember, don't shoot food.

Matik, you forgot to answer my question about the small robot, along with me upgrading the stone dome, scrapping the transmitters, and putting the important stuff like the players and fabrication records in the OP.

Matikclocker's picture
Matikclocker
You know what they say! If you can't fix it, tape it!

Small robot...
Small robots are allies. Unfortunately they are part of R.A.P (RAP Computer Chip needed) and you need episode 2 to buy it.
Also, they can't equip IGN items, only Matik Co. ones.
Medium robots are part of Munstar Inc, so I see no problems. They can equip items like a vehicle though.
Large robots are RAP and Munstar collaborating. You can have a monster with RAP parts, or a robot with Munstar parts.

Stone Dome wasn't upgraded, because you need to finish Blickanite and Fire stages. Tokanium Dome is a maxed out Dome. You need a couple of Ignitian crystals to upgrade. Then fabricate with a handful of Blickanite and finally get some Tokanium to max it out.

I will get to transmitters, thanks for informing me.

I will do it right now.

What's your next actions?

Crazee-Pi-Forum's picture

Remember, don't shoot food.

I'll just make my own robot.

Also, I don't see why a large robot needs organic parts.

I tell the Prospector that I don't work for anybody, but Blazecat works for Matik Co.

What's the price of a Gary Snail Medallion and how to get Planimals

I wonder if I can hire a mercenary.

I work for ModCorp.

I then continue to stare at the ModCorp Plasmathrower Mod where the prospector can obviously see it and consider out loud about creating more Plasmathrowers and putting them on the walker.

Yes I'm evil.

I look for another piece of celestian to rebuild my luminite pickaxe

(Luminite Pickaxe is my recipe. So you dont have the rights to make it really hard to make)

After that. I make a miner bodyguard equipped with a Luminite Pickaxe to mine for me until i have my 3rd and final required Celestian Ingot i need for my previously owned Luminite Pickaxe

How can you suddenly create a miner/guard, especially one armed with the item you made him to help create?

If you can't find it, destroy it! Words before next turn...

@Kian
Unfortunately Celestian Crystals upon pickup power Pitat, so you must to find a way to grab it without powering Pitat. Also, Fabrication Record contains no file about Luminite Pickaxe. Worst part: S&D Fabricator is on Grade 2 and we need Celestian Crystals to upgrade to G3, and we still need a way to prevent Pitat from feeding on it. Not to say that Pitat is an enemy in disguise.

@Blaze
All Hail Ventu-wait, ALL HAIL LARRY! He can do everything!

@Vana
You have a good point.
You can't make vehicles with ingredients, but with parts. Even if he made it then it would be only an armored statue of a vehicle.

@Pi
Blickanite, IGN Basic Blocks or the blocks I fabricated with Blickanite?

Also, blueprint of spaceport updated:
8 IGN Blocks
1 IGN Pilot Core
1 White Light
1 IGN Anchor (fix)

You know what? I have a

You know what? I have a better idea.

How about we restart TechPlay, but without the complicated stuff, like corporations, tech tree and others?

I will just give an inventory and resources/weapons/items/etc. without any corporations and will have the shop rotation just like the Abnormal Cake Simulator has. And with the random shenanigans of course. But the story and lore still remains, but with Pitat being replaced with a Celestian Core (which works the same way as Pitat, only the abilities can be used by everybody) and the allies can be controlled by players. I will also increase the HP and make the missions and fights harder so you won't complete bonuses all the time.

As for the base, it will be redesigned. I will display battery charge like this: 1/5
Regarding the fabricator, you still can fabricate stuff, but without enhancing/augments/self-fabs.
As for the scrapper, you get scrap, wires and electronics instead of minerals.
The day will take 6 turns (3 day 3 night), so that one day won't take that long etc.
The Seek & Destroy Inc. Fabricator will be renamed to Unstable Fabricator.
You can have a mobile base on the walker.
You will be able to insert "chips" into the vehicles so they can have abilities.
GARY/Protofactory crap will be renamed to "Modules".
Unstable Fabricator crashes will happen less often and they will have a mostly negative effect.

I will just count votes for who wants the new TechPlay or the Old TechPlay.
New TechPlay: 0 (Restart TechPlay without complicated stuff)
Old TechPlay: 0 (Keep this game complicated)

EDIT: Matikclocker, seeing as no one responded here, says that he will restart it tomorrow if no one will post about the new TechPlay.

Remember, don't shoot food.

I'm fine with you rebooting this. I honestly feel my cat self-fab was a bit OP, so I'm fine with no more self-fabs. Harder fights is fine too.

The only problem is that I'm not sure how many people would play this.

Also, speaking of reboots, I was thinking of rebooting this with the same concept (robot has an office job at a building owned by a masked guy) but executed differently (more of a turn-based RPG with none of that instructions nonsense).

Also, regarding the concern about people playing this...you can play if you want ;)
