okay so

whole bunch of giant ants are attacking biscuit fort

i am under siege

guess putting off destroying the hive had consequences huh

who could possibly have predicted

drone turrets are holding them off for now but there are some really big ants out there

also some that can like

shoot fire

and others than can like

shoot lightning

and others than can like

spit acid

so on the positive side i am probably unlocking a whole bunch of new like enemy entries in my logbook. probably getting an achievement and everything.

sooooo well uh

not really sure what to do. like i really don't want to wade out into the middle of all that. i mean i got my drone fireball glove. got my shardrifle. but there are a heap of ants outside. just like bonkers numbers. should have made some like y'know explosive weapons or something. too late now.

defensive tactic at the moment is to just put construction drones on wallbuilding duty. so as the ants eat and melt my walls i just build more walls behind those walls. thicken them up. which is working. for now. but the biscuit fort is shrinking. that is the downside to this action. it's a big warehouse but i can't keep this up forever.

been working on my aggby shield as a priority while this nonsense occurs. think i've got something. kind of like a heat shield. heat aura. i've still got my 12yo version shield as a final backup, with my last oldschool power pack. then on top of that i've got my new aggby shield with the heat proc. basically if an ant tries to bite me this big old heatwave shoots out. fries the ant. uses up half an aggbattery every time that happens. so i'm like. covered in aggbatteries. have to reload them manually but i've got a two slot hotswap thing going on. should be okay. shouldbeokay

tried to make a flamethrower but it went nowhere. couldn't find a grip on the idea. just. didn't work. no flammable stuff to shoot out was the problem. maybe if i could somehow convert antgutgems into a liquid form. problem for future jin. future jin. i hope she's doing okay.

one pretty idiot option is to make some aggby/teleportal void vortex bombs but those things are stupid dangerous. detonating one so close to my base seems like a really terrible idea. last ditch glory device i guess. or maybe

oh no

just figured out what i can do

just really don't want to do it

but

if i could get a vortex drone away from the base. and if i put a bunch of ant anxiety voicechanger agro pullers on it. and got all the ants away from the base. and then triggered the thing. that could maybe do something.

but there's like zero chance of a drone making it away from the base. can't teleport it because teleporting a vortex bomb just makes everything explode. i mean that's the trigger for the thing. don't trigger a vortex bomb in your face/base is the rule.

sooooooo

it's gotta be me

going out

into allthoseants

with a scrapbag drone or three

and some decoy drones

and

and

nuts

really

really
