----- Planned for today -----
Today I want to reach a population of 100. In order to do that I want to get a starport set up, as well as some more food production, more canteens, more dorms, oxygen, water, etc. It is going to take a lot of expansion to be able to sustain the massive amount of workers I seek to acquire, but it will be fun. I also want to get some storage set up for once. I don't have any storage yet in the base, so everything is just sprawled out across the floor, which isn't the best for the quality of the resources. I don't really want them to deteriorate. I have some big plans for today, and it will require a lot of resources, so I'm going to increase production as well... lots to do.
----- What Happened... -----
ABORT MISSION. I REPEAT, ABORT MISSION. ALL UNITS TO THE LANDING PAD FOR IMMEDIATE EXTRACTION.
Ahem... Where was I going with this? Oh, right...
I received many warnings throughout my various attempts at building a colony today. The most common, starting from most to least, being "Food storage is low," "[This Person] died of starvation," "Power storage is critical," "[This Person] has died of asphyxiation." However, the game did not warn me that my plans would be ruined because workers are idiots and biologists are typically the first to die if there is no food available... which is kind of dumb, considering they are the ones making all of the food. Anyway today was tough. I had to deal with seeing the death message pop up a lot. I tried multiple fixes, such as adding more resource production, adding much more food production, power storage, all sorts of things. The problem however, was that I did not realize just how many guards I had let into my base. I wanted a bunch, but I kind of got carried away, and I now have 52 colonists in my base, which is way too much for me to handle at this point. Thankfully, I have a slightly earlier save that I should be able to go back to. It will also give me a chance to rearrange a few things that will help me to keep the base organised and running well.
Tomorrow I should have everything in order. I am going to work on increasing all of the resources and such that I have encountered today, before they become problems. I should have enough time to build a starport as well, and if I am lucky I may be able to reach 5 milestones and make it to the next planet. Other than that, my plans for tomorrow are the same as they were today. Hopefully they'll go a little better next time.
