Dying is so bad ass even if you're in your tidy whities

Sick burn, my guy

Damn, I have no back up equipment

No stillsuit, no weapon, no shields, no power pack.

I'm fucked lol

So when Shai-Hulud eats you the first time (if you are on a vehicle) this guy will offer you a new bike

If you reject his offer, he offers you a worm tooth instead, extremely rare, extremely valuable. Way more valuable than my dinky ass bike

But without my bike, I can't get back to my base

Ffffffffuck

Ugh fuck me and my ballsy ass dumbdumb

I took the tooth

I might have doomed myself

OH GREAT AND NOW THERE'S A SANDSTORM LMAO

Can it get worse??

Oh but I do feel bad ass

A badass dumbass

NOTE TO SELF! Make back up equipment for everything

So I have one smart piece to my name

I never carry my currency with me

So I have 80k Solari

I might be able to buy my way out of this lol

Except..... when I went to one of the hubs, I hit a cutscene

And now I'm a prisoner being interrogated

can we just pls not right now

Okay the cutscene was just the interrogation. It was long but I didn't actually do any fighting (I have a literal shiv so....)

With 80k I got myself a basic bitch bike

Before I lost everything, I was at tier 4

This bike is tier 2

It's trash, but it moves faster than walking so I can't complain

Unfortunately, that's literally all I could afford

But at least with a bike I can get back to lower tier regions and start building back up

It's quite the conundrum otherwise

I can't gather aluminum without a tier 3 cutteray. I can't make a tier 3 cutteray without steel. I can't gather steel without a tier 2 cutteray

Do you see the problem

So the bike got me back to a tier 2 region. I'm waiting for the iron ingots to cook

And although tier 2 is ....... sad compared to where I was, I can easily build back up from there

Geez Shai-Hulud is vicious

It's gonna take me a week to get back to what I had

Lesson learned

the god of the desert is an unkind thing

EXTREMELY But I can usually outrun him
