silver lining

Checked out the mechanical planet Tayne while I finished up painting this curly grass hillside from Piporo 34/L1. I’m never 100% happy with the curly grass, but I’m a little closer every time, so I guess that’s the silver lining.

Speaking of silver, the metallic paint is soooo pretty in person but doesn’t scan well. Kind of a bummer. In the right lighting, you can see the glint of the sun.

On Tayne:

One creature, a ball of lightning, B. Granteuiamosa. “Encountered amidst the endless confusion of planet Tayne,” writes the algorithm. lol

Scans warn of malicious sentinels. In red instead of black, so you know it’s serious.

Not much to look at, although the sky is pretty; pale bubblegum pink with near translucent blue and silver rings arcing overhead like a rainbow.

And there are gold deposits, so I set up my four autonomous mining units and plunked down a save beacon so I don’t lose them — there’s a mistake you don’t make twice.

I was about to say I’m surprised the sentinels haven’t found me yet, but here they are, right on schedule.

Better run.

See you next time.
