my rimworld colonists are working in the background. i'm still playing the space kobolds, whose only mission is to eat hot chip and lie (and go to space).

we are nearing the end of 8 years of gameplay and the ship we have spent the entire time building keeps crashing on launch so i'm stripping all the thoughtful item placement i put in, and reassessing the design to see what is causing the issue.

i named the spaceship macross. it needed a whole economy to support it

we finally got some kobolds into space (save our ship 2).

i removed literally every non-essential item and launched successfully with only a single pilot at a console, basic sensors, and a breathable atmosphere. i'm not sure what triggered the issue in the first place, but i'm glad it's behind me.

i brought the ship's remaining crew and their furniture into orbit. the space kobolds will finally have their orbital pizza kitchen!
