New Protectorate progress update

Despite not being able to take massive screenshots anymore 😮‍💨️ I still wanted to show off my progress so far in one big image, so I've hacked together the previous massive image I took with shots of the individual rooms completed recently:

Water Treatment Plant

Memorial Hall

Teleporter room

Rendezvous cafe

Recruit Dorms (proper post later today)

Classrooms (proper post tomorrow)

The gap between the utilities and the memorial hall is going to be half storage (above the water treatment plant), but I'm not sure what to put on the other side.

The gap below the recruit dorms is going to be half training rooms and half lecturer apartments.

I still don't know how I'm going to make the central assembly hall...

The delegate rooms for Human, Hylotl, Novakid, Penguin, and Frogg are all still to-do.

There's another layer above the archive and classrooms, which I'm blanking on ideas for at the moment, and then above that is the garden dome which is still to fill with grass and trees and nature.

Also I discovered the Elithian Races mod has background doors that can be linked together, so I'm strongly considering replacing all those stairs with linked doorways to save on climbing...

From one glitch to another; “confused. What the fuck?”

[dru-plays-starbound]

Change of plans!! No double timeline stuff. It's cool but my brain cannot handle it

Instead I will be making the floran relic comic first, at least in reference to main comics. May try origin comics as well but they will have a vastly different format

So the current queue will (hopefully) be:

6 minicomics, one for each of the relics.

-these will also include picking up the "secondary" crew, in order except for the novakid

6-7 minicomics for each of the "main" crew, and maybe one for saura origins(framed as a prequel)

Maybe a few one offs of different sub adventures between specific crewmates

One of the main main villain fight

Maybe some more afterwards of the new villain.

Is this wayyyyy a lot for one person to try and do?? Absolutely. Am I going to try bc I'm insane anyways? Absolutely.

It seems I've captured the universe's most judgmental Quagmutt.

Water Treatment Plant

Next to the Power Station, we have the Water Treatment plant, keeping both main utilities close together.

Effluent comes into the plant at the top, then filters down through the layers of cleaning and filtration, until the fresh, clean water arrives at the bottom to be pumped back into the water system.

Been a while since this captain has sent an update, huh? Between doing base management to get materials for my ship, and making sure the base I have is suitable to live in even after I leave, don't have a lot exciting to report. So how about another story of my training days?

The training mission was simple, more of a glorified field trip really, travel to a few colonies here and there, see what they were growing and how, specifically how they were growing things thier plants shouldn't have the support for, and sometimes eveb with out green houses. Simple stuff really.

While we are leaving one colony and getting ready to head towards the next one, we get a message form them, they are predicting a drought and wanted to know if we could bring them a shipment of water, the captain agrees and we make a detour to a uninhabited fresh water planet, a quick make shift pumping station and a couple hours later our cargo hold is full and we are ready to leave again. During FTL travel we hear something go "thunk" in the cargo hold, captain makes an emergency stop and some of the crew to check it out. One of the barrels of water is busted open. And thus a lot of freaking out on the ship.

Now for some spoilers, this is where I learned not to send students alone to check things. The barrel was not a water barrel, it was a healing water barrel that we have to mix our own to treat minor cuts, burn, etc. It was also busted into, not out of. Like the students thought.

While the captain and the trained protectorates on board were trying to get everything under control with everyone on the bridge, someone peaks over at the ship logs and notices doors are being opened else where on the ship, and everyone is on the bridge at this point so they shouldn't be.

I was one of the few who had any sort of weapons on them, so me and a few of the proper crew go to see what's going. Last door opened was to a hydroponic chamber, one growing pussplums and boneaboos, so we head there.

Once we were in the hall leading to the chamber we hear the sound of metal being torn apart, from the hydroponics chamber, and notice it looks like something has pried the door open, before it opened it self. Once inside some of the plants are destroyed and a vent cover is broken, and what looks like blood (aka boneaboo juice) is all over the floor. At this point everyone is rightfully on edge.

Thankfully hydroponics due need specific air controls so it's vent system isn't part of the rest of the ship, and after tracking it through which doors its opening we finally corner the mysterious creature causing a bunch of chaos and noise.

It's a floran stow away got snuck in with the lander when we went to go water. Apprently they got separated from thier hunting party, and thought they got left by mistake, and then noticed us landing, and mistook us for minikong, which thier hreenfingered warned them about, thus the hiding. And when they broke open the barrel of height water, they assumed it was something dangerous, and decided they lived in the vents now.

Luckily for them, while they offer almost nonthing, the boneaboos and pussplums they snatched aren't the worse thing for a floran to eat, and we had other carnivores on ship.

We brought them with us and eventually got in touch with thier tribe and returned them safely.

If you are ever stranded, please don't just stow away on a random ship, some ships don't keep all of thier bays safe for living things during FTL to cut costs, so you don't know where is safe. And, unless they are having thier own issues, a protectorate ship will help you

The start of my magnum opus; hollow mountain

Gotta put the erchius generator somewhere in here, but otherwise this will all be deco space. Prolly

I may push it down farther as well. I won’t say I’ll push it to the core but that would be metal as fuck. I could put a tower floating above the core and everything

Also if anyone has any suggestions for lights it would be much appreciated! I don’t think torches will cut it here

[dru-plays-starbound]

Brown or blue? Or smth else

The armor bits will be mostly golden with some beads n stuff.

The Hylotl are here to stay!!

Please consider liking my art and following my blog! You'd be helping me out a lot! Thank you! ♡

Construction work without the correct permits/ authorisations/ etc

Though this made me think of the fact that the Last Protector tends to end up as some kind of authority in-universe, so I made this:

I DO obsessively read peoples tags when they rb my art

And, yes, I DO kick my little feets and giggle when I get compliments

The Rendezvous Point

Next to the Mass Teleport Room, we have a a bistro serving hot food, cold drinks and a respite from the rigors of traveling. Grab a coffee, freshen up, and continue on your way reinvigorated.

Mass Teleporter Room

I got on a bit of a roll after building the Memorial Hall, so here is the place where many people can teleport in all at once. It's directly below where the main assembly hall will be, making it very convenient to bring in attendees.

If that 'outpost style letters' mod still existed I would have like to written out 'Welcome to the Galactic Protectorate' but alas.
