Ugh. Ugh, ugh.

They wait. They pace and do sword practice, now with added information about FLYING EYEBALLS. They snack. They consider making a bunny door so that when ALL OF THE SUNS ARE GONE AT THE SAME TIME, they can still attempt to grab bunnies from the pen.

The dead things outside and their eyeball friends would like to offer this line of argument to augment the situation: moan bang bang, groan slobber, bang, growl growl. Bang.

Permalink

Yes, well, to the pit with them all. They stay in the house.

Permalink

Well, several hours later, the attempts at debate cease. Holly and Crystal are now free to explore. Again.

Permalink

Holly checks for a sun, finds one - are they all the same color? And size? Peculiar coincidence - and goes back out. Crystal digs.

Permalink
They find a good amount of ore! Of varying types. This is possibly enough to make an anvil now, though they'd need to test it to be sure.

There's still only one sun in the sky.
Permalink

Well, is some of it iron? If some of it is iron, she's going to turn lots of dirt into iron instead of digging more.

Permalink

Some of it is iron!

Permalink

Great. Holly makes lots of dirt into iron and Crystal hauls it all to the forge.

Permalink

Yep, that's enough to make an anvil.

Permalink

Great. Now she makes an anvil.

Permalink

And now she can make a lot of things! A suit of armor, a bathtub, a toilet....

Permalink

Oh, that last will be more convenient than inflicting her discomforts on the bunnies. She expands her house to have room for those things and then installs them.

Permalink
They require surprisingly little plumbing. That being, they require none. Yet everything works just fine without it.

Other things can be made with the metals, too. Armor and weaponry are prominent, but some items also look like upgrades of the pickaxe and axe.
Permalink

Are any of these metals upgrades that Holly can just do by herself? Is there any reason not to, such as conservation of materials?

Permalink

Yep! The pickaxe and axe are just fine with being magically upgraded.

Permalink

Great. That, then. And they make a suit of armor out of whatever they've got the most of and then Holly upgrades it.

Permalink

And now they have armor that fits them perfectly and is made out of the strongest material available at the moment. That's convenient!

Permalink
Not that this is tremendously comfortable, but yes.

They go visit Jeff again to see if he has anything to say now they've got armor.
Permalink

"You should focus on gathering more heart crystals to increase your maximum life," is what he has to say.

Permalink

"Where are those?"

Permalink

"Underground are crystal hearts that can be used to increase your max life. You can smash them with a pickaxe."

Permalink

"Does that make them better at improving our - what even is max life?"

Permalink

"If you run out of health, you die. Keep your health up by consuming healing items, staying near items that cause you to regenerate, or wearing certain accessories."

Permalink

"Or I could just keep bunnies handy. Although I guess that doesn't work if I get caught outside in the dark. What is up with your suns shortage, anyway?"
