Poe's World

Description
"The world is a great ocean, upon which we encounter more tempestuous storms than calms." - Edgar Allan Poe

This small tortured moon holds the only hope for your colonists, Establish the small trading colony of "Viginia's Solace". Your transport raided, left your dying AI a sputtering imbecile, who managed to revive just a few of the cryosleepers before dying, with just a day or so's air left, the survivors pack what they can into the life-pod of the dead transport, and drift into the gravity well of Poe's world.

One of the most inhospitable "terrestrial" worlds in known space with only robotically minable ores, With storms lasting many of the short 'days' on this world, you manage to guide the transport's main lifeboat to the surface, but a grim privation awaits, as there are too many survivors and not enough of anything else, with just 3 days rations, Pirates and other raiders mean to destroy your efforts and may attack at any time.

Simply surviving a few days,is an accomplishment,but, consigned to your death, those among you settle upon a perversely optimistic goal,to prosper on this brutal world, and bring a respite to this system.

-- Homage to Poi Foodo's macabre spectale,"Disaster Zone,Storm Challenges" - this world offers no solace except that which you make.

That's a great point, I'll make that change shortly.

***CORRECTION***
The wording of the requirements is a little misleading. You don't need 32 "armed colonists," you need 32 guns. If you attract guards, they'll take the guns, and the game won't count them. Just build 32 guns without attracting guards.

I uploaded verification screenshots for both the successful completion of the challenge/scenario as well as evidence of the metrics for each specific sub-goal. I believe that should put to rest any concerns other visitors/players may have. Enjoy.

you must complete the game and chek if all objetives are ok, i im not going to re play after you do that.

your words: "i belive" its not useful for me, and i think for the comunity either

I believe the rules/objectives are as follows.

- Reach a Population of 32
- Accumulate 32 Guns
- Reach a Welfare of 100
- Reach a Prestige of 200

it doesn´t works.... i complete all objetives but dont pass the mision..... you should repear the scenario or see if all objetives are ok

As I'm reading the objectives are 32 armed colonists (guns for everyone basically), with a prestige of 200 and a general welfare of 100.

I seem to have everything done, but no completion. It would help if welfare had a percent listed instead of a bar.

Thank you, I'm reasonably happy with this challenge, but I'm trying to see if there isn't something a bit more diabolical to make things more harsh.

This is a very challenging time. To put it bluntly it's a real bitch. If you've ever heard of a Harkonnen pain amplifier it's something like that but worse. I'm loving it, have fun!
