It has the virtue of a definite bottom.

[Kilkakon]

Hahaha is that good or bad?

[Davyboy]

Hahaha is that good or bad?

You know the answer to that.

"A toilet seat should always have a good bottom."

[Buster's Uncle]

It's good, as well as a pun.

[Kilkakon]

Ahhh okay. XD Well in that case I'll whip up some walls for ya shortly then.

EDIT: Woo crisp totodile icon.

[Buster's Uncle]

 

W00t indeed, sir.

@Kil
 Go with throttle up.

On a dry huge random planet with minimal sea to sort of sim Mars - which is where this all started - a random group of Terran survivors try to survive as best they can in this horrible environment.

Playing as Deirdre, it turned out that I'm local to a Mr R Branson, whom I have befriended (sic) to keep an eye upon. Other participants seem to be the Free Drones, The Planet Cult, both Alien facs, and Wacky Zacky.

It's 2190 and everyone except me is having a miserable time of it being so dry.

I think I'll have to tweak Branson's AI -- he keeps on building units to rush out of his bases leaving them unoccupied.

Any of you have suggestions for his AI prefs? He currently classes as Erratic (sometimes use force) and 1,1,1,1 for the other AI traits (ie ALL of them, like Sid) I think he's just confused and trying to be all things at once.

[Davyboy]

{Sigh}

You all realize that this means that I'll probably feel compelled to add a few new basenames reflecting their design etymology?

There, that was the polite way of indicating that this could descend into British toilet humour.

[Buster's Uncle]

   That's just wrong, man.

[Kilkakon]

At least they're shiny...

[Davyboy]

At least they're shiny...

Nice -- but the Perim and Tach for bases size 2 look too big Kil.

[Davyboy]

  That's just wrong, man.

I've already put in some effete, risqué, and outré names and even an innuendo here and there...
I think "Alien : Recycling Plant" is already there....... (it is)
So what harm could honouring a few of the knighted members of the garter such as Sir John Harington and Thomas Crapper whose contributions to civilized development are often taken for granted.
 

[Kilkakon]

Want me to fix up the walls? My template only has 2 sizes of wall.

[Buster's Uncle]

The perimeter defenses?  Why not?

[Davyboy]

It would be very nice if you could, Kil
