Sixty-four Pixel Colonists

Food will be an issue.

This adventure is thrilling. It has suspense and unidentified somethings!

Regarding the MoldWhat if the mold is not a mold, but rather, just a really strange mineral. The geologist could have more insight on this subject. Since we're without a lab at the moment, we could start guessing what it may have by the data and observations we currently have. First of all, the color of stuff is a great indication of its composition.

SpoilerStuff with iron are often red, with copper are green, blue or teal, and chromium is with probably lots of color but I confidently know that it makes vibrant reds. If we consider organic chemicals, that would may have been dissolved by the growth from the algae tank which I think is made of plasticarbon, which is clearly an organic material, then we can add on a multiplitude of organic pigments that the lumps may have, more especially if the growth is a living organism, which may or may not be true and it could be just a product or corrosion.

Don't take my word too deep at heart for I am not an expert in this field at all and I'm just blindly rambling. It is, however, not to be dismissed and should be taken to account. Until confirmed, observed, and identified in a lab and a qualified person, we can only guess for now. Maybe we should archive our finding of this strange thing as "Algae Tank Anomaly #1."

Yeah we should start designing some labs, especially since we have that chunk of dubious ice. We may also need to design a medbay (do we have that or not?). Food seems to be problematically declining. We'll need to fix that. We may need to start producing tools and chemicals like antibiotics, proteins, and vitamins soon. Our colonists can't possibly be living on algae mush forever.

As for the obelisk of plasticarbon... I'm compelled to say to keep it for now. I'm not sure if the blueprints on itself will be indicative of what's it's supposed to be. But the structure is unfinished, unsettles the colonists, and has no apparent benefit or effect, and therefore, it would probably be best to scrap it. I fear that it may be of malicious nature.
