Welcome to TechPlay! Invent - Build - Survive.

Because the original TechPlay was too complicated (and because I am lazy too) I rebooted this thing, now with modifications! So, let's get into action shall we?

You crash land on Potatopia. You got nothing but a small insect walker that can climb.

Inventory
Potatoes
Small Fabricator

Vehicles
Small Insect Walker (not claimed) (not named)

TechPlay - Prologue, Day 1-1

You are in the forest, there is nothing but trees, bushes, some rocks and so on. What do you do?

(Info about days. The first number is a day number, while the second number is the time of day. Numbers 1-6 are morning, noon, evening, dusk, midnight and dawn respectively.)

Remember, don't shoot food.

I claim the Small Insect Walker, because I guess I can do that.

Crazee Pi claims the Small Insect Walker, which doesn't mean a lot. Only that Crazee Pi can modify the walker by adding base objects and other stuff.

I will just dub the walker as Insect and Crazee Pi will be dubbed as Pi. Or Pie.

Pi is fine.

I name the walker Bugs.

TechPlay - Prologue, Day 1-2

The Walker was named Bugs. Oh wait, does TechPlay suffer from Bugs? I think not.

Teddy tears off leaves from small trees. The rest feels bad that Teddy is destroying the enviroment in such a way, even Bugs feels bad for him.

Pi gets Blaze 3 sticks.

Upon picking up one of them Blaze's stick changes into a Magic Stick (as it did in previous TechPlay) which cannot be enchanted in any way.

You've learned Magitech 1! (read: Fairy Magic)

To upgrade the Magic Stick into a Magic Wand (which supports Magitech 2 AKA Disciple Magic) you need to fabricate it.

There's a smoke far away, perhaps you should investigate it?

Inventory
Potatoes
Small Fabricator
2 Sticks

Vehicles
Bugs (T1 Walker, Pi)

Skills
Magitech 1 (Enables Fairy Magic)

I don't know why I'd feel bad for Teddy getting some leaves.

I attempt to gather more leaves and sticks.

Boop.

I now have a small leaf bed.

It's what potatoes are for, right?

I try making Fries out of the Potatoes using the Small Fabricator.

TechPlay - Prologue, Day 1-3

Pi gathers sticks and leaves. The rest still feels bad for him that he tears leaves off of trees.

Blaze tries to conjure a bush with a Magic Stick. He conjures a very small bush. Perhaps with some caring for it, you can make something useful?

Dee encounters several errors while fabricating Fries.
ERROR: Small Fabricator can fabricate only with resources. More details soon.
ERROR: You need a Crafting Table/Module/Station to make Fries!

Teddy fabricates leaves. He gets a Leaf Bed.

[!!!] TURF appears!
"If you thought that escaping to a new world will be EEEEEEEASY, then you're WROOOOOOOOONG! Also, your puny Timmy isn't here, so you [REDACTED] are gonna DIEEEEEEE!"

Turf
STR 150 (30 damage)
DUR 80 (40 HP)
AGI 5
DEF 40 (8 DP)

Your stats (all players)
STR 100 (20 damage)
DUR 100 (50 HP)
AGI 5
DEF 100 (20 DP)

Now, about stats.
STR - Strength. Determines your attack power (if you have 200 STR, you deal 40 damage)
DUR - Durability. Determines your health (100 DUR equals 50 health)
AGI - Agility. Determines the turn order (highest AGI begins first)
DEF - Defense. Determines your defense points DP (200 DEF means you get 40 DP, which is the damage reduction)

For calculating STR and DEF, I do this: STR or DEF ÷ 10 × 2 = damage per hit or DP

If your HP gets to 0, then you die and must be resurrected using Life Modules or by using Mercy Terminals. If you all die, then it's all over!

Now, resources. On every planet you land, I will give you a handy-dandy Glossary of Minerals so you will know what are they used for. The Glossary of Minerals shows you what resources you can mine on certain planets.

General Glossary of Minerals
Wood - refined to Biofuel - 3/6 CRN - A dam piece of wood, used as fuel or for woodworks.
Bioli - refined to Biolum Capsule - 20/40 CRN - All pieces of the enviroment compressed into a compact raw ore. Used as fuel, for analysis or for making powered seats and ecological engines.
Tokanium - refined to Tokannia Ingot - 15/30 CRN - Hard metal used for armor plates, reinforcing etc.
Olieettee - refined to Olieeus Capsule - 50/100 CRN - A special kind of oil generating lots of power, used as the fuel or for jet engines
Blickanite - refined to Blickania Ingot - 25/50 CRN - The basic ingredient for fabricating stuff
Blingite - refined to Blingian Crystal - 10/20 CRN - These shards emit light during night, used for lights
Periblank - refined to Periful Crystals - 60/120 CRN - Green crystals with the power of automating, used for machines
Ignitium - refined to Ignitian Crystal - 50/100 CRN - Warm to the touch red crystal, used for making weapons
Twilightia - refined to Twilightium Crystal - 75/150 CRN - Blue crystal infused with the moon power and without any gravity, used for items with holding capabilities
Celestian - cannot be refined - not sellable - A crystal infused with celestial power, used to power special artifacts, devices etc.
Hellian - refined to Hellium Crystals once inactive - 300/150 CRN - A crystal infused with hellish power, sell it for money or send it to the geological center so they can deactivate it. Keeping this crystal will cause the holder to transform into a hell monster

On Potatopia you can mine everything except Hellian.

Ok, seriously, why do you keep on saying that people feel bad for anybody who gathers resources? Are we not supposed to try and survive?

That's only aesthethic. Also, Potatopia is different than Earth. But the fact that you destroy the enviroment partially is a bit bad.

EDIT: Also, Turf got some accent.

Hello Darkness, my Old Friend.

I throw the bush at Turf. He sounds like a weirdo.

It clearly just affected my stats.

Also, why is getting leaves so bad?

I've removed the effect, so

I've removed the effect, so you can just forget that anything happened.

Getting leaves isn't bad, but by doing that you destroy trees (based on if they were on the ground or on the tree, but leaves aren't falling yet).

There's plenty of leaves. Taking a few won't hurt the trees.

Besides, "destroying trees" isn't really something that would make you feel bad for the one "destroying" the trees, maybe for the trees.

I guess we can't get wood because we're apparently against harming the trees.

I look for rocks.

I continue to ignore Turf.

Of course you still can get wood. The trees feeling bad is only aesthethical.

Pick up a sharp rock. That will probably do the trick.

Dee picks up a head-sized rock he randomly found and violently bludgeons Turf with it.
