Hey, @Ameey! Thanks for your helpful tips about all the in-case-of-emergency items - I guess I’m just not typically that well prepared :D
In that particular situation - I actually had a laugh about the series of unfortunate events that led to my meowstronaut’s demise. Such trips are bread & butter of the game for me, but this time: first I stayed out waaay too long, then I bumped my buggy a couple of times when speeding back to base, then I spent some precious seconds spinning donuts before I noticed the damage to the front wheel (the buggy is still pretty steerable if the back wheel is damaged - but front, not so much), and THEN that final desperate (and ultimately unsuccessful) sprint… I like these sudden bursts of tension in otherwise very mellow game. Good thing cats have 9 or more lives! ;)
As for the autocrafter: yeah, I know, not a bug report if replication instructions are not provided ;) - if it occurs again, I’ll try to jot down more info for Cairn4 to work on.
I’m also glad that other people are enjoying Mewnbase! The core gameplay is very solid in my opinion, with readable and polished UI, and every little bit of variety added now makes the game much better. Fingers crossed for that volcano! ;) Also…exploding plant? Intereeesting… :D
