#fossilcraft

hello here is my sabertooth art because I got Shelly today :3

These motherfuckers were constantly miserable the first 15 days because I didn’t realize you didn’t need seeds to make a farm- so we basically had no food source outside of hunting and berries (not helped by the fact I didn’t realize Shrimpo made corpses decay faster) till I realized that seeds didn’t exist. You just. Planted. Not only that but 1/3 of the time at least one person (usually Scraps) had heatstroke because I decided the best place to live (based on randomization) was a tropical rainforest.

Speaking of heatstroke, Scraps actually died of it at one point. Yeah. Originally I planned on leaving her dead for angst purposes but then I realized that the egg that Shelly had HAD BEEN FUCKING COOKED AGAIN (Yes this happened more than once, made even worse by the fact that SHELLY WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD COOK) so I just went to a previous save because there was no way we were going to be able to get another.

Speaking of the egg repeatedly dying, at some point there was a heat wave, and no matter what I did the egg would keep overheating so. Again. Saves. I wasn’t letting this egg die.

Scraps getting heatstroke resulted in me putting a cooler right above her half of her and Shelly’s bed.

We had both a Mad Alpaca and a Mad Rat attack, Finn got injured in the first and Shrimpo in the latter…and then after the rat attack, there was a medical emergency, aka, Scraps nearly dying from heatstroke. This time she didn’t actually die, mainly because of the cooler and Shrimpo being a semi-decent doctor.

The little guy that hatched from the egg was a girl…still named them Hewie (or Howard, since that’s the full version of his name), so uh. Guess Hewie is trans now/j

Shrimpo and Finn broke up, they were enemies for a bit, now they’re slowly getting along again. Scraps and Shelly got engaged though! And of course the egg hatched, I love them I hope for only good things for them <3

Fossilcraft is the name of the community (since Scraps was the one who named the colony), Craft Corner is the faction name and Iwamurian Path (I didn’t come up with that name) is the name of the ideology (basically base Rimworld)

I didn’t include Hewie (who has been born) since he’s just a little guy right now so you just get the original colonists

I gave Shelly and Finn full first names because I thought it would be neat. I also based all of their designs off of their skins both because they’re different than their canon counterparts (obviously, randomization doenst exactly make them accurate) and just because I can. Also based off of what they look like in game (Hence why Shelly is blue and why Finn’s darker)

Anyway, Shelly got mauled by a Lynx. She ended up having to stay in the hospital that was originally set up for when Scraps had Hewie (because I didn’t want to go through Shelly cooking her own child again)…which also happened around the time that some visitors from another colony came, and then one got attacked by a raider, got an infected wound and then left after three days with his injuries still.

Scraps, as mentioned, had a kid! Hewie! This time he actually ended up being a boy…also I accidentally forgot to set Scraps Kitkind traits as inheritable so, Woops, Baseliner. Kind of fits I guess. At the very least I can say she’s doing her best.

Finn is just the one who does most of the manual labor while everyone is trying to get their shit together because he can’t fight. Also he has portals apparently but I haven’t really done much with those yet. Also he and Shrimpo got married!

Speaking of Shrimpo she (once again she’s a girl, because transfem Shrimpo <3) has had a very eventful time.

So it all started when the walk in fridge was being built. There was a Cougar nearby, and the colony started with a pet. A cat which had been in the same pod as Shrimpo, so I named him Brick. Then the cat was fucking eaten. So already Shrimpo’s cat died barely a week into the existence of the colony. Then a guy from a broken empire (forgot if that was the name) came by being chased by a man eating rat and offered a royal title if the colony protected him so I thought “why not”, and since half the colony was psychically Deaf/Dull I just went for the first one who wasn’t, which was Shrimpo. So she ended up being given a royal title. Then they came back to give her a psylink. So now she has psychic powers (flame based since she’s a pyromaniac…ironically enough). Then everyone started getting pissed about not having a Qaudi (kinda cleric?) so I decided to set Shrimpo as that because of her psychic abilities (also because she’s the best healer…which isn’t saying much but we take what we can get), she and Finn then got married after that. Oh also before all this (besides the cat dying, this happened after) she got beaten up by a raider and nearly kidnapped before Shelly beat the shit out of them and then she spent three days in a medical emergency, which was before the hospital was built.

Have this drawing of the colony I made today solely so I could draw Fossilcraft and Shrimpbowl scenarios…but considering how things are going the Fossilcraft will probably be fluffy and the Shrimpbowl will probably be angsty. Oh well.

Sometimes a colony is a cannibal Furry, her demon girlfriend, and a transfem unlicensed doctor who is dating the straightest merman I’ve ever seen/j

I have my game modded which is why literally none of their species are in basegame

Scraps got seperate from Goob at some point and was the one who initiated the relationship with Shelly, I love them their relationship is 100+ and it’s only been a day (though that might be because Shelly genetically has Angelic Beauty)

I forgot to change Shelly’s last name in the character creator. Woops. So she has two last names now. Made her a Drakonori since that was the closest thing I had in my modded species list to dinosaurs (could have made her Helixan like Shrimpo since. Shell, snail. but I thought this was more fun.) She’s got wings to glide with! Also thought it would be fun to make Hewie exist so uh…congrats to the soon to be moms!

Finn and Shrimpo were made a couple in character creation. Mainly because I wanted to raise the chance of Fossilcraft happening. Here’s the thing. Finn has flirted with everyone in the colony. Mind you, he’s dating Shrimpo. And in game it’s only been a day. Both times he was rebuffed, and then five seconds later the two girls who rebuffed him became girlfriends. Then Shrimpo tried hooking up with him, he rejected, not even a few seconds later he’s trying to hook up with her, which she rejects. Finn I love you but why.
