EXODE: Aririne exploration report

In case you are lost, let's stop here to give you some explanations: Aririne is a planet in EXODE, the Hive game developed by @elindos. eXode is a space colonization card game, in which you build a deck composed of an Origin (similar to a Faction), a Ship, your crew, your passengers, and your cargo. In eXode, after managing to escape a space station attacked by unknown aliens, you will be reaching a new galaxy, from there manage to land on a planet and start colonizing it (note: colonization phase is currently being released, starting by the away teams).

Exploration Officer, Achen Loha, in charge of the exploration of Planet NG-23950023, Aririne.

Day 0: [In Space] After escaping the alien attack on space station Ivski, we reached this unknown galaxy. Tyron, our space pilot, successfully drove us toward the closest habitable planet from our extraction point. Minimizing the motor usage in order to avoid potential alien detectors, it took us a while before reaching it. The Captain ordered us to repeatedly scan the planet, in order to identify interesting features and potential dangers.

Aririne is a Volcanic planet, two third of the planet are covered with active volcanoes, contributing to an intense surface temperature, reaching up to 150 deg.C. The remaining part of the planet is covered with woods, and seems to be the most welcoming part of it. The average temperature is about 90 deg.C, with a minimum of 45 deg.C in the wood region. In average, the planet looks relatively comfortable. However, our sensors detected a quite important number of life threatening dangers. Additional investigations are needed.

After landing on the planet and manually locking the planet, the game enter in a "warm-up" phase, during which player can take one action/ticket per day. These tickets include recovering foods, preparing future expedition, investigation planet dangers, or training people for a specific roles. This is a new feature of EXODE, used to prepare for the upcoming Away Team update.

Day 1: [Surface] We landed on the planet overnight, and were immediately ordered to inventory our resources. The cafeteria storage only had 12 rations... Counting crew and passengers, were are 14 here, finding additional food and water was decided as critical by the Captain.

Day 2: [Surface] The Captain ordered to ration our stock in order to give us more time to find way to have a stable food production here.

Day 3: [Surface] We managed to find some food, we will maybe survive a few more days.

Day 4: [Surface] I was ordered to start investigating the potential dangers infesting the planet.

Day 5: [Surface] Oh sh***. There must be a mistake!

Day 6: No entry

Day 7: Unintelligible gibberish

Day 8: [Surface] I was hoping I did a mistake, but no, there is no errors... The results are correct. I need to report this to the Captain.

"Captain? Officer Loha reporting!"
"Go ahead officer, we don't really have time for formalities on this alien world. Do you have any results? What did you find?"
"Yeah... About that... Where should I start..."

After several moment of silence, the Exploration Officer started speaking again:

"Well, one the good side, we know there are at least 2 seasons on this planet, temperature seems to change between these 2 seasons. We are not sure yet if there are only 2 seasons or if there are more, investigation are still in progress."
"Oh, great news! This means the temperature will get lower soon? We don't have much equipment against such high heat unfortunately, there was only a bunch a Eisen suits in our cargo. I am glad it will get cooler soon."
"Ahahah! ... Well... Actually... That's the opposite, it will get hotter soon"
"Oh, that's unfortunate. How much hotter?"
"Hum, the sensors classified it as... Deadly heat"

"However, there is a good news: it should affect only a few sectors. "
"I guess we will have to stay in the forests during the 2nd season then, in order to avoid these heat waves. I assume the woods should be relatively safe?"
"Well..."
"What?..."
"You know, it's a volcanic planet, isn't it? Actually, during the 2nd season, the planet magnetic shield is much thinner, the amount of light from the star reaching the planet is quite increased."
"Well, we have treatment against sunburn, I guess this is fine."
"... increased at a deadly level according to the sensors. That's not just simple sunburn. In addition, they reach everywhere..."

"Sh*t... Is this all?"
"There is a last thing..."
"Sigh... Go ahead."
"There are quite strong winds during the 2nd season too. In the forest... Only..."
"... Can I hope they will bring some cool air with them?"
"I wouldn't have much hope on this Captain."

"Sigh... Any good news?"
"Well, the 1st season seems quite safe up to now..."
"Up to now?"
"...We are still investigation the presence of other dangers..."

Planet dangers were released today on EXODE! They are subject to change (it's still an alpha) and rebalance. Mine are quite fun (and deadly), how about your's? :D You can still join the exploration test if you manage to land on a planet. Join us on EXODE! If you use my referral link you will get a 2 free bound boosters (currently the only way to get booster is on the player market, where they are sold for at least 7.7$), I will also give you some cards useful for your future colony: https://exode.io/?ref=9fa7bda
