One of these years I’ll be playing the same save over two successive winters. This… is not that year.

A lot happened this week but there’s not much to say, so you get blurbs and pictures. Enjoy!

Obviously, it’s FICSMAS-time again. Presents falling out of the sky, much snarky ADA commentary about what a waste of time this all is, festive decorations, etc. I’m taking the lessons learned from last year’s event and hope to make a good-looking Ficsmasland for the ages, this time around.

The seasonal event is well-timed as I’m waiting for all the Phase 3 products to get ready to send skyward. I completed work out at the Blue Crater and at this point it’s just a matter of patience, or at least active distraction. Along with the chasing of falling gift boxes, I threw together a recycling plant:

As well as a replacement basic iron products factory:

With the (mostly) proper Ironworks built I’m free to finally rip out the slapdash starter iron products production equipment littering the neighborhood. I don’t yet know what (if anything) to do with this space, but “enshrine the earlier jank” is absolutely not on my TODO list with this save.

The main immediate goal, of course, is to send up the Phase 3 shipment… which is almost ready:

Aluminum products, the Hoverpack, drones, and nuclear power await me. Soon. Soon.
