Now, this is the latest game made by the developers of 'Don't Starve' and 'Don't Starve Together'.

I believe it's pronounced 'clay-entertainment', but don't quote me on that one!

But they gave me a key for an early-not even early-access, but a pre-alpha build of the game to test out,

and I'm really excited about it because

this game, supposedly, it's kind of a space survival, colony management, death-is-lurking-behind-every-single-door- type game.

Because, I may hate the ocean, and-uh-some people call me out on my uh my hypocrisy

because space is kind of the same way...

...it's just a big ol' ball of death no matter where you look.

But I'm ready to help Quincy, Horatio, and Elvira live in this terrifying...dark...place known as SPACE.

So, I want to point out that I've never played this game before.

I have no idea how to play it. I've never seen a video on it so I'm going to be learning from scratch.

Because there's not many resources on how to play it in the first place and I wouldn't necessarily do anything about that anyway.

I'm not a hundred percent sure of what I should do about this, but Quincy seems pretty good. He's a level 7 miner.

Horatio... level 1... not very athletic.

But at least Elvira is... pretty good architect.

So what am I-I I've never done this before so I'm gonna...

Jack... grease monkey, small bladder...

"A life time of running from his responsibilities made Jack emotionally impenetrable."

No, not gonna do that one.

Ooh...a scientist!

"Grub thinks plants are neat." That's good.

I kinda like that, but I think I can do better.

Woodrow...

A physician might be nice.

"Stress response: *laughs* Vomiter"

Oh man, everyone else's stress response is destructive. That's no good.

Eleanor, OH I like dancy feet! Ooh HELL yeah!

Oh mole hands! I don't know what that means.

"A severe climate requires a severe woman."

"This Eleanor is that woman."

Okay! I'm down for this.

I'm down for this. I'm gonna make-I'm gonna actually name this guy. He's Mark.

I'm a miner because I like digging things.

"At any given moment a Mark is viscerally reliving ten different humiliating memories."

Well, that is absolutely the truth.

Okay, name your colony.

Um

Duhhh, I'm gonna name this-let's just imagine from my Kerbal Space Program play through that uh,

the Crashy

uh, McSplodey. The Crashy McSplodey

turned into a colony in space after it finally went off into the stars

And uh, the Crashy McSplodey is now the uh, Smashy

Smashy McDeathy Colony

That's what it is!

We're a.. wer- we're real optimistic here at the Smashy Mc-Deathy Colony.

And a, hopefully

We're going to survive.

Alright, let's embark

Let's go on this!

I'm ready for this

I'm super ready!

Woah.. Alrighty then!

WOO! New hope!

*Reading*: "ALERT! Your crew has awoken miles beneath the surface of an unfamiliar terrestrial body."

"Oddly, they have no recollection of how they got there."

"It might be best to start digging"

Okay!

Well...

Oh... This is weird!

So we went through-

Oh, a printing pod?

Next duplicant?

...Whaaat?

Ration box?! Okay,

Basic controls!

I should read this:

"WASD to pan your camera, mouse wheel to zoom in and out"

"H will return to the printing pod"

"Simulation can be speed up by using the top buttons on the left"

Ooooooo - uhhhhhhh

"Pressing tab will cycle through them", okay, "space will pause"

Oh let's just pause that until I know what im doing. "Colony requires toilets"

I'll get to that in just a second I need to figure out my bearings

because i want to actually learn here

I don't just flail-a-fail miserably

I mean that's going to happen anyway but don't worry about that, I'll get to that

"Duplicates are generally self motivated"

"and do not need to be individually managed in order to preform tasks in the colony"

"You can use the dig tool, G, and the build menu in the lower left of the screen to begin planning job tasks"

"Once you have a few placed, your Duplicates will automatically get to work for you"

Ohhhhhh

They're like the sims. OK alright so, dig

So obviously we will probably need to dig through here, and connect the dots

I imagine it would be bad if we went too high, because that looks like the cold, deathly vacuum of space,

and I don't think we need to go there

So let's just dig a path through here

Oh I like that

And then uh...

Ooh, is that some kind of mineral?

That might be a mineral, I'm not 100% sure

And then the build tools

which are

down here?

Ooh

Ooooooooh okay

Oooooohhhhhh

Neato!

Oh cool

"Missing resource: raw material", okay

So,

We're basically gonna have to get materials to build stuff

For the Smashy McDeathy colony

And then, be pretty good.

"Stress: pretty low"

"Population: low"

"Available calories," okay good

Alright...

Okay!

So I guess,

I guess we just go for it, right?

Alright, go for it!

Woooaaahhh

Ho, boy

Man, screw shovels! I want a laser gun to dig through my problems!

Holy sh*t

Okay, but that's cool

Because what that means is...

Oh, sh*t

Alright, so right-click to get out of that-

What that means is,

Ahhh

So,

all things go into the storage box, or is that just the ration box?

Cause we got oxygen going there, but it's dropping rapidly-

I need to get that taken care of soon

I need some sort of power-

Oh, a manual generator.

Can I have Mark just run off all his problems?

And I'm just gonna dig out

I'm gonna get this nice-

Nice and even here.

Let's get a nice-

Maybe, maybe actually open up this 'cause then we might be able to collect

all these resources while we're doing this.

and then uh they can hurry up their tasks by speeding it up

oh that's SOO COOL

Oh, I love this!

And, and- I love Don't Starve

to death

like, I love that game, it's absolutely awesome

and they're getting a ton of resources there.

I don't know where they're being stored

but I've got a tab for "Consumable" or "Organic" materials

"Edible", "Raw"...

and then "Raw Metals"

So, uh - that's copper!

So that's definately copper...

So let me, uhh...pause this for a second.

So what I need to do - I have...

Oh! I now have materials.

So I can build a manual generator.

I'll keep it, like...

I'll keep it, like, right here, I guess.

Alright then!

Then 'electrical wire' will run that to whatever

I need to power, right?

Oohhh

And then I'd probably need a battery

So, I'm just gonna do this

because I'm experimenting here

I don't exactly know what's gonna go on.

So I definitely need to do that

and then I'll probably need an

"algae condenser" right there...

Yeah

Alright, right there

Okay

And let's see how that does.

I don't know if that's gonna be any sort of good

Ohhh!

So the materials just lie on the ground-whoaaah!

Okay, alright then

They're just shooting their- *chuckles*

What are they- are they just shooting?

They're just shooting nuts and bolts at it!

That's even better!

A laser to deconstruct anything

and then a scrap gun!

That's amazing!

Okay, so those are gonna go there

and I'm hoping...

Okay, do I need to connect those with the wire?

Yeah, I do, don't I?

*Quietly* Alright- ah!

Okay

Ahkay!

Alright then

Ahhhhhohohoh *chuckles in ecstasy*

That's so cohohooool!!! *giggles*

Ohhhhh, so wiring...

ah, I thought that was just gonna be buried in the ground

but that's actually a little bit inconvenient.

Okay, so, I missed a founda-

I just...okay, I just...

ruined everything. Is there a way to, like...?

Uhhhh

Put stuff back in that?

Because I just ruined that *laughs*.

I just absolutely destroyed that.

I am an idiot.

That is stupid.

How do I put foundation back there?

Okay

I've already screwed up everything!

I know that for a fact!

You guys, just...

need to calm down,

do I need to put red alert on this one?

Because I don't know if that-

that's absolutely necessary here.

Everybody just calm down, I'm a bad manager here.

Don't know what I'm doin'.

Alright, you know what? I think I gotta

deconstruct these, because I...

I- I goofed...real hard.

Alright, there we go!

This is...

I- I goofed real bad.

I'm sorry.

Oh boy

Okay, so...

Alright, so let's just...

let's just do this again.

I'm gonna dig out here...

and this is gonna be the area where we

kinda make stuff.

And then, uh, we're just gonna assume

that this was plann ed.

Okay, I can connect wires directly across

things, so they don't need to be out of

the way of anything else.

So now that I got the power,

I can have my little guy-

Yeeeeess!

YEESSSS!

And then I can have from the-

from this to- oh, I- I guess I could-

Whoo! That's- that's not what I wanted.

How do I not...?

Hoohoho-hokay

Right then, I'm just gonna deconstruct this

and have this nearby, then

because I don't necessarily neeeed

that to be far away...

Have that right there.

And then just wire it straight across.

Yes

Yes?

Yes.

Yes!

YES!?

Maybe?

I have no idea.

Uh? Ohhhh, they just passed out

That's so 'dorable.

Why did they all just fall down at the same time?

*characters whistle-snore*

Oooookay, alright then.

Hope you all don't DIE!

In the depths of space!

whooaaah

Is there like no limit to- OH!

My god, what is that?

Hooohhhhh, that looks scary.

I don't know if I want any of that

that looks very scary.

Okay, so there seems to be some sort of gas

over there, that's probably gonna explode

and melt our faces off.
