Build another robot using all of my current materials.

[evilcherry]

Create, using water and the giant tree branches, to create floating potions. I mean, if it can float that high, then certainly an alchemist can condense its lightness into a flask.

Hmm, I didn't take into account that he actually had some 'power' I thought he meant his powers as a creator. Either way, my suggestions here are just that, Eagle is the boss. He seems to have a more definate tool usage and containers and such than I do.

I may steal the moving into the mind of someone idea however, that's pretty cool.

I just think it would make sense for the Aglaia to have a common 'toolshed', making everything from pure magic gets boring rather quick. Also, thanks!

[Armok]

I Gather. I ignore all the stuff that would just turn up as physical things, and instead try to use my powers to trawl for deep and abstract cognitive processes on their raw forms.

[mcclay]

I attempt to go as deep into the brain as I can, the I gather. I just blew up a planet and  am feeling lucky.

[EagleV]

I sent Dwarmin a PM, he has one day.

[Armok]

I think it's been a day now.

[EagleV]

Ten more minutes but he told me he's out. I'll do the turn within two hours (have to eat first), and I'll repeat the 'highest waiting list to pm within 24 hours' to find a replacement. For next turn, of course, I won't let you wait another day.

World difficulty: 61
You land on a soft, squishy object. This must be Simon's Mind. It appears to be pulsating once every seventeen minutes. Around the landscape are hundreds of apparently random objects, ranging from a can of coke to an old farm house, all completely out of context on the soft pink floor.

Gather all of the edible stuff.

You walk around for a while, but you don't find any useful, edible things. You do see some weird things, though. There's a giant caterpillar, though it's completely static - a dormant memory, if you recall Osin's explanation correctly. There's also a pillow, talking in some weird European language, and a guy holding a half-burnt pair of jeans above a campfire - though the flames don't flicker, as if they're frozen, nor does the guy move or the jeans burn any more. But suddenly, you smell spare ribs. You walk in the direction your nose tells you to, and arrive at a party table. Twelve people, mostly couples, are eating the biggest ribs you've ever seen. Or rather, the'yre done eating. All that's left are bones, all the meat has been gnawed off. When you approach the table, the sky becomes brighter and brighter, as if a second sun is rising, and at the moment you grab a bone, you fall down in pain. Your heart feels as if it's burning. You grab your chest with one hand, holding the bone with the other - you're not going to give up - and crawl bakc to the ship. When you arrive, the pain slowly fades away.

Build another robot using all of my current materials.

Attempt: 25 + 5
You gather all of your stuff in your workshop, and start designing another robot, in hope of another spark of awesomeness. Sadly, you don't feel anything. You'll have to make thisone on your own. So you start sketching. You'll definitely use iron for the head. After all, that's where his sensors, the weakest parts of his body, will be. But then the legs would need to be iron too, to carry the weight. Which'd mean you can't make the torso out of iron, which would mean it has to be wood, which would make it way too weak.
You can't figure it out. You try everything, from elaborate working plans to mathematical approaches, but there's no way you could ever make a robot with this stuff.
By the time you decide to build two legs directly under the head - without torso - it's too late to start work already. Well, tomorrow is another day.

You start to work, using every technique you know on the floating tree branches. You start with a mortar and pestle, but the crumbled leaves do nothing out of the ordinary. You try calcination, distillation, dissolution, separation and conjunction, even fermentation and coagulation.
Nothing works.
Then it strikes you: The power is not in the leaves, it's in the leaves. There must be some sort of gas in there. You puncture the last few leaves, and hear the hissing sound of escaping gas. You manage to capture what's left in two vials.
Now to test your theory. You go to one of the highest rooms of the ship - the arched dining room - and drink one of the potions.
You feel lighter and lighter. After a minute, you feel dizzy, and a few seconds later, you suddenly shoot up in the air, smashing into the ceiling. You stay there for a while, before you slowly start to float down again. As your pained body reaches the ground, you notice Osin standing in the entrance. "Bravo! Bravo! What a show!" he shouts, "Hope you didn't get hurt too badly. That was some solid alchemy there."

Attempt: 17
You decide to go into the brain itself, hunting for something deeper. You sink trough the solid pink, using your powers to make you free, able to swim trough the solid stuff.
After a full day of swimming around, you finally notice something that gives out an air of power, just a bit further. You excitedly make your way to it, but before you are there, a sudden, soaring and unbearable pain shoots trough your chest. You pale, and whisper the magical words that you set as a safeguard, to teleport you back immediately. Once in the ship, the pain quickly fades, leaving you exhausted.

You decide to gather from the brain in a more direct way, and take a new drill from the storage. Just as you press the drill head into the squishy ground, you feel something coming at you, something that wants to hurt you. But something doesn't know you're a demi-god, and a lucky one at that. You dodge the thing when it erupts from the surface, and catch it in a forcefield. You are pleased to see it is a spear made of pure anger.

Darn. You really need to make getting materials easier, this is boring. I joined this game to actually craft stuff not running around getting into trouble.

> I try to collect the thing that cased my pain and the bright light and pain Ochita experienced.

You have a 50/50 chance. In fact, you now have a 51/49 chance! I'm sorry if you feel you're having bad luck, I can only encourage you to keep trying, you'll do something awesome every now and then.
If you want to craft stuff, you still have wax. Don't forget, you can craft whatever you want from whatever you want, as long as you roughly explain how.

[evilcherry]

gather the elixir of life. we are inside life, after all.

[Armok]

That's the point. A demigod should have more than .5 chance of collecting a random scrap laying around the ground.

[Taricus]

Contiue crafting the robot, using the red-yellow metal.

[EagleV]

That's the point. A demigod should have more than .5 chance of collecting a random scrap laying around the ground.

Well, from a realistic point of view, yes. From a gameplay point of view, no. And really how important is realism when you're a real programmer descended to demigodhood, waking ancient monsters, blowing up planets and rooting around in someones thoughts, in order to make a masterpiece for some insane young god?

[Armok]

It's bad from a gameplay perspective to, it forces people to gather for more than half the time. More if they're at all picky about what materials they want to use. The game is supposed to be about crafting.

It might change later in the game, but it has a predetermined end well before that is likely to happen. The previous games had some people responsible for gathering and actually good at it, and the excess stuff they gathered dumped to be taken for free by specialised crafters that mostly crafted.
