can confirm that superhammer is useless for construction but good if there's a wall in a place and you don't want a wall to be in that place. or like a whole building even. kind of went a bit nuts with the old superhammers. drone construction crew pivoting to demolition. natural progression really.

good news is we're in scrap paradise now. because the thing about destroying a building is that buildings are filled with useful junk. especially if you break them into bits. so i guess in the end superhammers actually are good at construction. in a roundabout way. destroying buildings. grabbing the building bits. turning the bits into more superhammer drones. this is a very positive cycle that cannot possibly have negative longterm consequences.

#4 still coming home. getting closer. should be here soon. what stories he will have to tell. what sights must he have seen. well mostly ants + the inside of ants i'm guessing. at least he's getting that sweet ant xp. levelling up. drones don't actually level up. be cool if they did. in reality they just tend to get worn out and broken over time. entropy kind of kills the idea of xp in the real world. everything falls. haha yes this real world of mine surrounded by giant insects making giant superhammers and working on a battery made of ant blood. so real.

speaking of batteries made of ant blood

i made a battery out of ant blood

turns out that stuff is reactive as flip. scavenger scamps got me a bunch of gold and silver and the mareo ate that stuff right up, gave me some nice little base blocks to work with, so i went to my new best bud computer and was all like hey computer, got some stuff here, think we can science? and computer was all like 'oh jin you know we can science with this' and so now I got these big heavy batteries. i mean these things weigh. dense as flip as it turns out. can barely even lift one. so that was a problem. had a couple of potential solves. could use antgutgem antigrav wave nonsense to make them lighter. but they're still really bulky and annoying. had the idea of like making them so light they can float and just like towing them around like a bunch of balloons. be pretty funny probably. but no. go back to your roots jin.

what is the solution to a problem

teleport is the solution to a problem

i mean electricity is just a thing right? and a thing can be teleported. that is a basic principle of superscience. a thing can do a thing. so i got some basic little relays set up and yeah this is a thing that can be thung. zapping sparks through teleports. what a good idea. what a smart cookie i am sometimes.

couldn't find my schematics or notes or anything for 12yo me's shield so i just started from scratch. got a prototype up and running and it's pretty okay. not fieldworthy yet but pretty good. seems to be cool with heatblastshield so that's good. biggest problem is that there's this like power limit. pump too much juice into the thing and it just like explodes. makes a noise like a really wet fart. so i had fun with that for a while. gotta test these things you know? got to explore every wet fart noise overcharged shield possibility. anyway got some numbers. put numbers into a thing. this is boring. i am boring myself. i have to work more on the shield but i know what i have to do. just time is all. like always.

remembered the thing i should be doing. destroying that hive. forgot about it because there have been like zero ants lately. need to send out some scout scamps to see what's up. need to get on top of that hive re: destruction. also there's that water notfactory with all the ants. and also. the rest of the city. not just my local area. and possibly. the entire world.

for now the local hive

do the little thing before you do the big thing

that is sensible

so okay

make a good shield

go kill a giant ant nest

that's my schedule

should probably stick to it
