water crisis averted

i can make tea

river water is so gross though

can't believe i was washing in that stuff

anyway

figured out a filtration system. nothing fancy. but then i thought no. let's be fancy. so i turned it into like an art installation thing because why not have fun doing necessary biz. so i got water dropping from a portal in the roof and falling into another portal that goes to a filter thingy and then another portal and it gets all shot around and stuff and it's just fun. we have fun here. plus the portals are also killing stuff. horrible stuff. water is gross. everything is gross. there are tiny horrible things everywhere on everything.

also inside you

in your eyes even

in your eyelashes

probably best not to think about it

anyway eventually the water gets boiled to heck and the steam gets collected and turns back into water and that water goes through one last filter thing just for luck and then it gets put in my big old water tank and i can drink it or wash in it or whatever. make tea with it. that's the primary use. priority one for water.

also made a sword gun. same basic principle as bulletgun and crudlauncher and shardrifle. why fix what's broken. why not add a sword to it. so i made a bunch more giant antswords and i made a bunch of teleportal holes and i get drones to drop the swords into the holes and they go launching out of my gun and go spinning into ants and just slice them to absolute pieces. it is so impractical. so stupid. but you gotta have a laugh sometimes right? sometimes you have to shoot a sword at an ant just for the heck of it. also this is useful because if i lose my sword out in the field or if it breaks i can just shoot a new sword out of my gun. practical solutions to real life problems. that's what we're all about over here in biscuit fort.

mareo also spat out some kneepads. made of antbits. they look like turtle shells. black creepy shiny glistening turtle shells. that go on my knees. armour class bonus? at least my knees won't get so scuffed. maybe i should do elbowpads too. and maybe a helmet or something.

or just a better shield

that way i can keep my styles

elbowpads are a bit dorkish

anyway now i got all this home stuff sorted out i can finally go junk that hive. stop these ants from just constantly wrecking my stuff. basic plan is go in with antsword and swordgun and shardrifle and etc with a couple of scrapbag vortex bomb carriers and buzzers and #4 hulk drone backing me up.

where even is #4 right now

can't even remember

got to call that guy back in

downside to using scrapbag bombs is no loot drops. on account of everything getting sploded all to pieces. or actually not to pieces. to nothing. scrapbag vortex bombs do not leave much in the way of traces. so any special hive loot would be lost. man i bet hives have such good loot. eh but whatever. not like i'm short of antbits or antgutgems or whatever. should actually take a look at those special fire gems sometime. unlock some upgrades or something.

but yeah probably should take care of this hive biz soon. before they gear up for another big assault. antsiege was not fun times in my life. very distracting. very stressful.

on the other hand my shield is not great

probably could upgrade it

use those fire ant gems

fire gem + heat shield = elemental affinity bonus?

i mean that would make sense
