The Buzzy Greenhouse

Built for the Starbound Spring prompt, "Buzzy". Maybe not my most inspired build, but I had new plants to test out, thanks to the Lepidia & Mega mod. I also experimented with a 30s/30fps GIF instead of 15s/15fps, and it seems a bit stuttery? IDK could be my connection, let me know what y'all think.

I'm sorry - I can't think of anything cool to write this time. Please take this build in which I went overboard with the greenery.

Built for the Spring prompt "Flower".

Celebration of Kluex

Built for the Summer prompt "Kluex" and the Spring prompt "Festival".

I had wanted to do this for the Spring prompts, but lacked the correct inspiration. I'm glad I waited, as this is far better than the previous iteration I'd made.

Moisture Farm

Even Arid worlds need to get their water from somewhere, and it turns out that somewhere is in farms like this one.

I was lucky enough to get a tour of this place when I stumbled across it in my travels. After vetting me, the owner explained that they have high security in places like this to ensure that bandits aren't able to take over the facility and deprive the populace of the life-giving liquid.

The owner showed me how they use massive drives to pump water from deep within the planet, using air conditioning and venting to keep the storage rooms cold enough and stop the precious liquid from evaporating, all powered by abundant solar energy.

Their adherence to protecting the water is so great that they have a special sonic shower, which vibrates sweat and dirt off one's body and then recycles the sweat back into drinking water.

After accepting a cool glass of precious water, I wished them well and carried on my exploration.

Mods used: More Outpost Objects, Pixel/ Fixel Goods Store, Immersive Props, Prop Pack, Protectorate Themed Blocks.

Alpine Fluffalo Herd

High in the mountains, I stumbled across this alpaca couple. Night was closing in and a blizzard starting up as I hauled over the boundary wall. It wasn't until I was passing the purple tree that what I had taken to be a cluster of snow-covered boulders started shifting and bleating! I'm sure you can imagine my surprise.

Fortunately, Alexi and Zola were pragmatic about it. "These fluffalo are hardy beasts," Alexi told me, ushering me in and next to the stove. "specially bred for the clime and altitude. They'll recover from their fright, for sure, and by tomorrow will've forgotten all about it."

These lovely folk fed me, let me stay overnight, and in the morning a hearty breakfast was waiting to see me off - but not before I snapped some picture of course.

Created for the Spring Prompt "Fluffalo".

Made for the SB Spring Prompt, "Spring Colour".

Small farm

A regular dinky farm, built up around another abandoned structure on the planet I call my home.

Here's the thing: I made this the other day when I was quite tired, and thought it would be good enough to post for the "Farm" Spring Prompt. But I was looking at the screenshot today, umming and erring whether I should post it. Cuz, y'know, it's a farm. It's super basic, I haven't really done anything special with it, it's akin to Newbie's First Build. And I have a personal rule, that something made for a prompt list should push one's creative boundaries a bit, and all I'd pushed was myself closer to bed.

Then I thought, fuck it. Maybe it is Newbie's First Build, but it's cute, I like it, and that's a good enough reason to post.

Will I do better next time? I'm already planning on it :D

Hi Mous,

Not at all - crack on with whichever you fancy!

When I started doing the seasonal prompts, I did have in mind that they'd make a fun mini-event for each quarter, because that was something I'd seen work in other fandoms. But now I'm a bit more wise to how smol and time-poor we are as a community I know that won't work.
