131 days in, overview.
The cancer-causing reactor was causing more issues than it was worth due to its positioning and blocking of several ore deposits, so I did the only reasonable thing and proceeded to shell it with mortars for 3 days straight. We had no power during these 3 days due to a pack of boomalopes wandering into the irradiated area and proceeding to chain-explode on the cable that was laid for said power. The entire area is completely fucked fertility-wise and will always look really ugly, but now at least we can travel through it without getting cancer.
Everyone had their rooms renovated with new beds and carpet. I also took the investment to getting everyone some shoulder pads as well as armor vests. Looking into getting some military pants for added leg protection but as of right now most of the colony probably won't die to a random sniper shot to the liver now.
Wiznard was already the colony's work horse when it came to crafting and with him recently becoming the new mayor, I decided to treat him with some upgrades.
Duel bionic arms for a pretty hefty manipulation boost means he does just about everything better. The lucifierium is essentially an over-all enhancing drug that's super good for making a good colonist a fucking fantastic one, but it comes with the trade-off that he will go insane and eventually die if he ever goes into withdraw with no way to cure it. As it stands, he chews through majority of crafting orders given to him and I'm pretty sure he could solo the entire colony if I got him a shield belt to protect against bullets.
I managed to rebuild the mortars and build up another hefty supply of mortar shells. The last explosion from the shells almost out-right killed Robinson and those were only incendinary shells. This would probably not even leave a corpse if they went off with someone nearby, so lets hope that doesn't happen.
A new wanderer joined the ranks, Levin. He also brought with two Labradors who he quickly trained to help in colony hauling. If anyone wants to insert themselves, now would be the time.
Anonmare has been hard at work researching for the colony, making strides in understanding how to make our own bionics to automatic shotgun turrets that absolutely devastate anyone close to them. One of the latest findings was ground-penetrating radar and an associated deep driller. The green pockets that are highlighted on the map are sections with deep pockets of ore, which can be just about anything you could mine aboveground. Hopefully we'll find a pocket of uranium so I can start churning out shield belts for our melee fighters, as friendly fire is a bitch when dealing with a raid.
