Planet Crafter: Planet Humble - Fish Stage

We reached the fish stage at 120 GTi and unlocked the T1 aquarium. Now we just need some fish to put in there!

T1 Aquarium with Tiloo fish from the Underworld

A few minutes later, I unlocked the recipe for making T3 mutagen which is needed for producing fish eggs in the incubator. I built another water life collector and placed it near my "Tree House" base in the Underworld near the Sandy Basin entrance and when I checked on it later, it had Tiloo fish eggs. I placed those in the aquarium. Now the terraformation index for animals is starting to increase.

Butterfly farm with Fiorente butterflies

I also unlocked the butterfly farm and placed them on a hill near my main base, but hopefully not too close. I found in previous saved games that lots of butterflies close together seems to cause game performance issues (lag).

Starform Robotics Task 2

I received another message from Starform Robotics. I collected the drone logs they requested and now they say my second task is to open their starship (I assume they mean the green starship in the Sea of Fog). They say their drones are trapped inside and if I open it, the drones can be activated later to complete the terraforming process.

Fertilizer factory in Sulfur Terrace

 

Inside the fertilizer factory

T1 aquarium with Buyu fish from Sulfur Terrace

I built a fertilizer factory in the Sulfur Terrace to make T1 and T2 fertilizer and placed a water life collector in the lake as well. I found Buyu fish eggs, so now I can fill another aquarium. My factory has the water and algae collected from the lake underneath the building, farms and mining and gas extractors out the front, ingredients in storage on one side, finished products in storage on the other side and autocrafters in the middle that can reach everything. I also have a teleporter for fast travel.

Cosmic Quartz

I unlocked the recipe for making pulsar quartz. Now I need a few miners to ensure a steady supply of resources to make it. I went to place a T2 miner in the Osmium Caves and while I was collecting some osmium from the roof, I saw that what used to be a strange rock formation had now sprouted a single cosmic quartz crystal. I know that cosmic quartz can be crushed in the ore crusher to give different types of quartz, but I think there is only a limited number of those strange rock formations around the planet, so I need to conserve them, probably until I can get the portal generator and visit other maps to get more.

I built some more miners, tree spreaders and water life collectors (I found Tegede fish eggs in the Black Rift). After a pulsar quartz meteor followed by a super alloy meteor shower, I was able to build another nuclear fusion power generator and some more teleporters at outposts around the map to help with getting around. At 250 GTi, I unlocked the portal generator but I'm out of quartz again so I'm trying to craft it, but I'm also out of uranium (needed to make pulsar quartz) and the ore crushers are pretty slow at breaking down uraninite. Maybe I'll get lucky and there will be another quartz meteor.

 

Oesbe butterfly larva in the Purple Pillars

Oesbe butterfly dome

I went back to the Purple Pillars in the Sea of Fog because I left a lot of crates unopened and maybe one of them has what I need to make the portal generator. Instead, I found several Oesbe butterfly larvae which are unique to Planet Humble, as far as I know, and has a 1500% insects multiplier. The Oesbe butterfly larva is also worth 4500 Terra Tokens.

Osmium Caves roof shipwreck

Portal Generator

I made a fusion cell and used it to open several doors in the red spaceship on the roof of the Osmium Caves. From the extra rooms, I got over 9000 Terra Tokens, 4 pulsar quartz, some fuses, mutagens, fertilizer, rockets, explosive powder, circuit boards, rods and a spacesuit. I should be able to make the portal generator now, and have enough power to run it. 

Random portal map

I went through my first portal. I found so many rockets and fertilizers and mutagens I had to stop collecting them. I made over 20,000 Terra Tokens, collected at least 15 pieces of quartz of various colours and found blueprints for 10 decorations, a couple of posters, fuses and a golden effigy. I could have got more, but I died from thirst and dropped most of the stuff in my backpack, including the access key card to the vault in one of the two shipwrecks. Never mind, I have enough quartz to do more portals and I still got plenty of good loot. 

Kitchen

I got enough quartz to build another fusion power generator then did a bit of decorating with new blueprints. My kitchen is now functional, producing high quality food and storing it in the fridge. My beans and honey are stored in the cupboards under the countertops. I've got a trashcan for rubbish, a pantry with flour and cocoa (getting ready to start making chocolate chip cookies) and just need a few more knick knacks for the kitchen bench or wall to really finish it off. I can't wait to do some more portals and see what other decoration blueprints I can find!
