I landed on Terracore exactly one week after the first expeditions had successfully landed. The harsh environment of the planet quickly became apparent to me, making me regret my choice of ever coming here. The merciless sand constantly whipping my face, almost like it was grinding my spirit down along with my face and gear. Not to mention all those other pesky scavengers constantly trying to steal my precious $SCRAP.
Regardless, I was here now and decided I owed it to myself to make the best of it. Take responsibility for my own choices.
I quickly adapted. I trained both fighting skills and defense skills, while upgrading my Engineering equipment and knowledge, to keep increasing my mining rate. I also started gaining experience with attacking other scavengers too, running away with not insignificant amounts of their hard earned SCRAP. Though they've certainly managed to steal some from me too, I'm getting better and better at defending against them. My battle log paints a picture.
As soon as I learned about the planned missions to other planets, I also started sacrificing SCRAP for Favor, to be able to visit the closest planet Oceania as soon as possible, to be able to fight those terrifying water creatures lurking in its swampy waters. I soon reached the minimum required favor to be able to visit Oceania, but my resolve was about to be tested yet again.
I'd already bought a few common crates at 100 SCRAP a piece when they were fresh on the market. Having broken most of their contents down to get enough $FLUX for the travel, I was excited for some adventure, to say the least. I even traded some additional FLUX from other scavengers to be able to go several, at a hefty premium if I may mention. Unfortunately my efforts were fruitless. After 6 visits to Oceana and full of disappointment, I decided to count my losses and instead focus my efforts on growing stronger before returning, to increase my chances of finding those precious crates.
There is but one thing to do. Gather more SCRAP. Increase luck. Get more FLUX and travel there again. Treasure is bound to be right around the corner. Right?
But even if my expeditions have failed, I've been very satisfied with my ability to keep upgrading my skills and equipment. The latest milestone was upgrading Engineering to 14, giving me a mining rate of whooping 4.6 SCRAP/hr. I've seen other scavengers oogle my equipment from afar, but I can't be bothered. I'm here to stay, and the SCRAP shall be collected, cost whatever it may cost.
Until next time.
