Mindustry Jumpdoc Build 135 Edition

A Jumpchain-compatible CYOA by ltmauve v1.2

Mindustry is a combination industrial basebuilding and tower defense game. Collect
resources and use them to construct and supply defenses against waves of enemies.
Welcome to Serpulo. This planet was once colonized by humans, before the accidental
release of artificial “spores” destroyed most of the ecosystem and war broke out. Now, it’s been
long enough that the infrastructure is starting to turn to rubble.
Into this comes a single, old Shard-class core, landing in an icy Ground Zero.
That’d be you. Take these +1000 Core Points (CP) and try to make it through the next
ten years. Fight onward. Claim territory. Destroy enemy bases. Win.

Origin and Start

Due to the time since the conflict, there’s no real difference between a drop-in
(someone with no history in the world and no memories) and a native, as any core will have
already lost all memories.
There are seven origins, based upon the seven lines of combat units in common
service here. Pick two.
Regardless of which origins you pick, you start the Jump just before you hit the ground
in Ground Zero.

Dagger

The Dagger line is the ground workhorse, consisting of armed bipedal robots.

Nova

The Nova line is the ground commander line, possessing useful support abilities,
including construction capabilities.

Crawler

With the exception of the titular T1 unit, the Crawler line are all capable of crawling up
and down walls, and over buildings. This makes them the specialists on the ground.

Flare

1
 The Flare line are the “standard” air units, giving fighters, bombers, and some powerful
airships.

Mono

The Mono line is the air command line, consisting of flying support units. While some do
have offensive capabilities, their main benefit doesn’t come from shooting the enemy.

Risso

The mainline naval line, the Risso line packs serious firepower into their hulls.

Retusa

The Retusa line acts as support for the Risso line, providing healing and additional
firepower.

Perks
Perks in an origin’s subsection are discounted by 50% to that origin, with 100 CP Perks
being free to that origin.

General/Undiscounted
The Core Experience (free, mandatory)
You gain an altform, that of the Core. Cores are robotic buildings designed to support
military infrastructure. Cores store bulk resources, act as a commander for an army or defensive
outpost, have powerful sensors that can reveal an entire battlefield, and are generally the most
durable building on the battlefield. They are also practically immune to g-forces, as the main
form of interplanetary transport is shooting them out of a giant electromagnetic gun. Fold-out
thrusters are included if you don’t want to make a crater while landing.
Cores also protect the infrastructure and defenses around them. An active core will
protect their entire base, regardless of distance, physical connection, or power, with a field that
protects against deconstruction and other such types of attacks - if your enemy wants your stuff
gone, they’ll have to actually attack it. They can also block teleport attempts nearby.
This field is strongest closest to the core and is strong enough to stop enemies from
building there, or any other sorts of similar tricks. The range of that inner field is longer than any
artillery piece, forcing an actual assault.
You may upgrade your core form with the use of a massive amount of resources,
though there are only two levels above Shard (Foundation and Nucleus) that have been
engineered.
These benefits only apply while you are in this altform, though. And these don’t carry
over into possession.

2
 Universal Driver Installation (free)
As a core, your experience involves a lot more switching bodies than it might sound
like. You are comfortable being in any body, regardless of composition, shape, or even degrees
of freedom. In addition, fluency translates easily between bodies - your skill at using one body is
the same as any other.
You are also aware of all the capabilities of a body you are using.

Core Guardian Avatar (free/200 CP)

The Guardian Avatar is generated by the core. It’s a hover-capable aircraft armed with
basic weapons, but its main purpose is to build the infrastructure and defenses of the base. It
can also mine some materials and haul bulk resources around. You control the Avatar by
possessing it, effectively, so it gains your powers while you are operating it.
Your Guardian Avatar scales with you, gaining more powerful weapons, more durability,
more speed, and better support capabilities as you grow stronger.
It takes no resources to spawn the Guardian Avatar, and it leaves no wreckage. All it
takes is a moment of concentration, and it will appear right over you. You can’t be killed through
the Guardian Avatar, either.
Normally you would only be able to spawn a Guardian Avatar in your core altform, but
for 200 CP you may also generate it while in any form. Operating the Guardian Avatar requires
a full human brain’s worth of thought, so you might want to sit down while in human form while
doing so.

Assuming Direct Control (free/300 CP)

Another ability of the Core is to possess units and remotely control them. It doesn’t
matter if it would normally support that or not, a core can possess their infrastructure, defenses,
and units and control them. You too can possess anything automated and not protected (by say,
another core).
You too possess this form of possession, but normally only while in your Guardian
Avatar or while already possessing something. This results in the destruction of the Guardian
Avatar if in that, or the target returning to normal behavior otherwise.
For 300 CP, you may possess something directly from your body, and may, with the
consent of your target, possess a person. When possessing something directly from your actual
body, your body will vanish until you stop possessing or the possessing object is destroyed.
If what you are possessing is destroyed, it does not count as a death. You will merely
be shunted to a nearby identical unit or structure, be forced back to your body, or have your
body manifest right next to where the object was.

Core Network (free/400 CP)

Cores can self-replicate. The default method of doing so causes the new core to be
flung on a ballistic trajectory, to potentially anywhere on a planet. Operational history suggests a
a limit of 500 km for normal operations. Once landed a core is rather hard to move, though.
In addition, you can transfer between these cores at will, and will do so automatically in
case your current body is killed. Your other cores have a default monitoring program that will
alert you in the case of any problems, and can make some attempt to correct them.
While you may maintain these abilities for free during this Jump, it costs 400 CP to take
all of these capabilities with you.

3
 Pentative Reconstructor (400 CP)
Reconstructors take units and make them bigger, badder, and beefier. You possess a
similar capability, being able to upgrade any physical object, including people. This might not
make the target bigger, but it will improve durability, firepower, and any support capabilities the
target has. With practice you’ll be able to tune what improvements you provide, but they will still
be improvements.
Doing this takes a small amount of time, a large amount of resources (dependent on the
power of whatever is being upgraded) and access to some sort of power source. It also requires
the target sit still for the period of time.

Dagger
Dagger - Bullet Goes In Enemy (100 CP)
You know how to fight. Not only which end of the gun goes towards the enemy, but how
to lead a target, how to move while fighting, and all the thousands of bits of advice that veterans
know and recruits don’t.

Mace - Bullet Works Up Close (200 CP)

Some people say you shouldn’t bring big grenades into small rooms. You can. You’re
immune to friendly fire and fragging yourself, so you can drop a live grenade at zero range and
walk away unscathed. Or at least not care about having to hit yourself with artillery fire to deal
with pests.

Fortress - Bullet Does Not Go Next To Enemy (200 CP)

The difference between theoretical maximum range and effective maximum range is
that the former just wastes ammo while the latter is often too close for comfort. Not for you. Not
only are you a crack shot at all ranges, your attacks actually can exceed the theoretical
maximum range assumed of them by a bit.

Scepter - Bullet Does Not Go In You (400 CP)

You are beefy. Not only can you take about three or four times as many hits before
going down, those hits have to be harder because you are now tougher. In fact, anything that
makes attacks have to do more work applies all the way down. Your armor makes your body
tougher, and a blast inside the armor of your core form would do just as much damage as on
your armored hull.

Reign - Bullet Goes In Every Enemy (600 CP)

When in doubt, shooting more will often solve problems. And now you demonstrate
that. The faster you hit and the more enemies you hit, the more effective each hit will be, and
the faster you can attack. Spewing bullets vaguely in the direction of a mob of enemies was
never so satisfying.
The boost has no upper limit, and only starts to fade after about half an hour of not
attacking anyone.
This also means you never have to worry about consuming ammo, coolant, or energy,
reloading clips (still have to worry about cycle time), or any other limitation to the quantity of your
attacks. Even attack spells no longer have any cost because of this.

4
 Nova
Nova - Spine For Trouble (100 CP)
Being in charge of commanding forces, it pays to keep a cool head. Thus, you can do
that, and are completely immune to panic. You are also immune to mental trauma or sanity
damage.

Pulsar - Legs For Jumping (200 CP)

The Nova line, with the exception of the Corvus, can all jump over walls and buildings.
This is despite the fact that the Vela could probably crush modern-day tanks under its feet.
You too possess an improbable jumping ability, letting you effectively control how
gravity works for you, adjusting it from only having the barest fraction of its strength to letting
you land right now. It’ll let you turn off the boost thruster on a Nova-line unit and let you use the
weapon again, or jump with a Dagger-line or Crawler-line unit.

Quasar - Hands For Building (200 CP)

Things that you build take a quarter of the time to complete. Whether that’s using a
Guardian Avatar’s constructor beam or you’re just putting together some flat-packed furniture,
you’ll be done sooner.

Vela - Laser For Charging (400 CP)

The massive lasers that the Vela and Corvus are built around take a few seconds to
charge up each time they fire. But that’s okay for you, because whenever you have an attack or
ability that requires preparation immediately before using, it gets stronger. A few seconds would
give a boost of about a fifth of the power, while a few minutes would give the maximum boost of
three times the power.
But this also means that you have more time to prepare outside of battle, as well. You
have twice as much time to plan, gather resources, or perform your other pre-operation tasks.
Spend your time wisely, though - you don’t always have enough of it.

Corvus - Brain For Commanding (600 CP)

You can multitask like a champ. You can control your Guardian Avatar, dozens of
turrets, a human body, and hundreds of units all at once with perfect synchronization. It even
works through interfaces, letting you use a single computer to control hundreds of units, if you
wanted to.

5
 While it is unlimited in quantity, it is limited in quality. The mental threads created by this
are specialized for whatever hardware you have them operating. While they can still plan and
think ahead, thoughts not related to their hardware slip away easily

Crawler
Crawler - Coal Heart (100 CP)
The Crawler is brave, rushing headlong at defenses with no regard for its life. While you
can act without regard to your own life, it’s probably not a good idea and your survival instincts
still work when you are in your actual body.
Still, you are immune to minor things like fear, stress, panic trauma, and despair.

Atrax - Sticky Fingers (200 CP)

Let’s face it, walls are annoying, especially when you need to get past them.
Fortunately, you can climb anything. A wall? Sure. A waterfall? Not a problem.
That doesn’t always mean that it’s a good idea to climb that particular thing. Consider,
for instance, that walls made of surge alloy can electrocute unwanted climbers.

Spiroct - Impermeable Skin (200 CP)

You are immune to environmental conditions. Not individual lightning strikes, but hail,
rain, extreme pressures, corrosive gases, all of those you are immune to.
In addition, the protective field of your core form shares this effect with any allied
structures or units within it.

6
 Arkyid - Vampiric Fangs (400 CP)
You can heal by damaging things, healing yourself equivalent to any damage dealt. This
not only applies to your own weapons, but also deployed weapons like mines and the
continuous effects of damage. Set something on fire to gain regeneration.
If you are riding in a vehicle, you can channel this into the vehicle and let its damage
output repair it.

Toxopid - Weaving Hands (600 CP)

There are so many fun and exciting ways to modify your attacks. Why not use all of
them? With this, you can learn different effects by being shot with them or using a weapon that
inflicts them, that you can then apply to your own attacks later. And you can stack them. Want to
make bullets that shock their target, set them on fire, and slow them down, as well as split on
impact to keep doing that? Sure. The stronger you are, the more powerful or longer-lasting
these effects are, and having multiple effects means you need to split the power.
Just note that you can’t stack mutually exclusive effects (setting things on fire and
freezing them) and the more effects you use, the less powerful each of them will be.

Flare
Flare - Tornado Hunter (100 CP)
Flying can be difficult, especially if you’re on a planet with horrid weather like Serpulo.
What, did you think the mass desertification caused by a hypercompetitive bioengineered
organism and the smoke from fires caused by a war did any favors for the climate?
Fortunately, you know how to fly, and you know how to fly in bad weather. Rain? Dust
storm? Hail? Not a problem for you. Just as long as the airframe holds up, you can get it where
it needs to go.

Horizon - Frequent Bomber (200 CP)

Horizons rely on lots of hits to destroy a target. Fortunately for you, whenever you strike
a target, any further strikes against it are a tiny bit more effective. You’ll need to hit a target a lot,
but this won’t reset with time, distance, or peace.

Zenith - Marathon Runner (200 CP)

Battles can take a while. Fortunately you have unlimited endurance, being able to
maintain strenuous mental or physical activity indefinitely. You still need to recover from them
once they’re done, but no more than if you had been doing those activities for an amount of time
doable for someone with a normal amount of endurance.
This also eliminates your need to sleep in organic forms.

Antumbra - Ace Fighter (400 CP)

No matter how bulky the body you’re using or the vehicle you’re operating, you remain
as agile as your most nimble forms. This doesn’t affect speed, but you can stop on a dime or do
pirouettes just as well as you could in human form. This includes turrets, making them able to
aim as fast as you could point.
In addition, you can share your agility with nearby allies, bringing them up to your level.

7
 Eclipse - Blockade Runner (600 CP)
Sometimes you want to rush past a defensive line in order to attack a nice vulnerable
target. With this, the more you are attacked - even if those attacks don’t hit - the more mobility
you have. More powerful attacks charge this faster. Not only speed, but also maneuverability
and reflexes are improved. Even things like teleportation benefit from this.
In addition, the more maneuverability you have, the more effective your personal
defenses are. Your armor gets tougher, your shields recharge faster, and everything gets more
durable.
While these boosts do fade, it’s over the course of five or so minutes without getting
attacked. Plenty of time to duck back and get fixed up by a nest of repair points.

Mono
Mono - Logistics Is Done By Some Kind Of Spreadsheet Wizard (100 CP)
The humble Mono supports the war effort through automatic mining. Like the Mono, you
understand that proper allocation of resources is key to a successful battle.
To that end, you pretty much have a spreadsheet program in your head, and you know
how to use it. Calculating the cost of construction, comparing it to projected mining, all that’s a
snap. Expect to be able to optimize your post-landing buildup with very little experience.

Poly - Teamwork Is Some Kind Of Magic (200 CP)

A single Poly isn’t that fast of a builder, but a team of two dozen of them can pop down
a defensive wall in moments.
You also have excellent teamwork, being continuously aware of what your teammates
and allies are planning to do and what resources they need. You can also share this with your
allies.

8
 Mega - Designed By Some Kind Of Geometry Nerd (200 CP)
Let’s face it, fitting buildings and belts together in order to construct a functioning
economy is kind of hard. You, on the other hand, can very easily understand the ways
components in a system interact with each other, letting you design a system without adverse
interactions, in a way that would be bewildering to many.
In addition, you understand how to make things modular, so you understand how to
design a production module so it can be copied for increased production, or intermediates can
be easily extracted, or any other tricks of design wizardry.

Quad - The Blessing Of Some Kind Of Angel (400 CP)

The Quad’s massive bomb can serve as a healing field, repairing everything in a
massive area.
Whenever your actions heal or boost an ally, you can choose to allow the effect to echo,
hitting allies nearby with a reduced version of the same effect. The echoes can’t create echoes
of their own, though. No creating an infinite loop.

Oct - You’d Have To Be Some Kind Of Tactical Genius (600 CP)

How the heck do five toxopids fit into the hold of an oct? Seriously, they each have
more leg than the oct has airframe.
Apparently the answer is “fuck you and the base I just dropped them in.” Which is your
answer for how you pull off the space-warping, defense-breaking, salt-inducing nonsense that
you do.
You can fit units and structures in spaces that they should not be able to fit, and you can
fit more of them than can be considered reasonable. Shove a row of six meltdowns in a narrow
canyon where daggers are scraping the walls. Airdrop a dozen toxopids and their escorts per
oct in a raid. Weave dozens of belts through a single gap.
This also improves any storages that you use - even a storage as small as a pocket
benefits from a few times the space.

Risso
Risso - Threat Weighting Oracle Protocol (100 CP)
The Risso is the most powerful and most durable of the T1 units, putting it in the weight
class of of T2 units.
Fortunately, you’ll never make the mistake of underestimating your opponents.. You
have the instinctive ability to evaluate your opponents, identifying how difficult of a fight it would
be for you and your allies to defeat someone.
This does not provide comprehensive information on your opponents, just tells you the
actual difficulty level, ignoring any attempt at enemy deception.

9
 Minke - Haste Status Firepower Field (200 CP)
You overdrive the weapons of your nearby allies, letting them attack slightly faster. And
yes, you are your own ally.

Bryde - Armor Regen Shield Field (200 CP)

Any nearby allies to you gets a slight buff to their defenses. In addition, these defenses
have a small increase in regeneration speed, even if those defenses normally have a
regeneration of zero.

Sei - Scatter Homing Bullet Hell (400 CP)

Let’s face it, some enemies are dodgy sorts and you don’t always have time to line up a
proper shot to nail them.
You can quadruple any projectile attack you make. But more than that, you can make
those projectiles homing, not just straight at the target but in elaborate patterns to box it in or
saturate an area around it.

Omura - Flare Bodyguard Factory Mothership (600 CP)

Dealing with enemies is a pain. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about being
separated from help. You can spawn in allies to protect you. With the strength and abilities of a
Shard core, you can either summon in up to eight Flares or eight generic “bodyguards.” The
bodyguards match your species and will be dressed appropriately for the situation. Your
summons gain strength and abilities based on your own, roughly proportional to your own gains.
The only thing it takes to summon one of your guards is time. They spawn in two at a
time and can immediately begin resummoning if any of them are killed.

Retusa
Retusa - Eyes of Alertness (100 CP)
The Retusa has a torpedo weapon and an independent repair beam. It needs to keep
track of both the other units around it and maintain a targeting lock on opponents. Like the
Retusa, you are immune to tunnel vision. A single mental thread is capable of maintaining
situational awareness while still focusing on a specific target, object, or line of thought.

Oxynoe - Fires of Healing (200 CP)

Nothing says “I want to heal you” like pointing a flamethrower directly at someone’s
face. It’s true. The Oxynoe’s flamethrowers hurt enemies and heal allies at the same time. You
may now make your attacks heal your allies and your healing effects hurt enemies.

10
 Cyerce - Volleys of Death (200 CP)
Cluster munitions are fun to play with. Like the Cyerce’s cluster missiles, your attacks
can split. If they reach their maximum range, they can split and keep going. If they get
intercepted, they can instead split to foil the point defense. You can control how many
submunitions any of your attacks can divide themselves into, and even cause them to split at
will. Of course, this divides the power of the attack.

Aegires - Field of Power (400 CP)

You may convert any attack you have into a field around you. This field hits an entire
area and is a continuous effect. You can also convert other targeted abilities into fields.
However, these fields do require expenditure of resources at the same rate of the original attack
or ability, and disables the attack/ability for the time period.
The range and damage are inversely proportional. By keeping the range limited to a
relatively short range - similar to flamethrower range - the field will deal similar damage to single
targets as the attack did. Doubling the field radius halves the damage. The radius cannot be
reduced to a point where any part of your body could be outside of it.

Navanax - Area of Effect (600 CP)

The bolts fired by the Navanax’s railgun deal their damage even far from the impact
point. Lesser turrets are outranged by the blast itself. You likewise share an affinity for large
explosions and shockwaves.
Even an attack that would normally lack an area of effect can now possess one, gaining
enough splash to hit a small cluster of targets in one shot. The stronger the attack and the more
range it has, the more splash it can gain.
If the attack already has splash, it gains even more on top of what it already has. The
Navanax’s own shots would have blasts that reach artillery range. Doing so “stretches” all
sub-splashes equally, so if you use this with a nuclear weapon the fireball radius, 5 psi blast
radius, and third-degree burn radius will all be scaled equally.
You may tone down this effect, or turn it off entirely. You may also direct the energy of
the attack, letting it reach further in one direction while decreasing it in others. You can’t make
the splash less than the original in any direction with this, though.

11
 Items
The Jumper gets a 200 CP stipend to spend in this section only, while Companions get
100 CP.
Data items automatically respawn in 24 hours if all copies of them are lost or destroyed.
Physical items respawn in 24 hours if lost or destroyed.

Basic Blueprints (free)

Standard military construction patterns, with no design notes, from the time when the
Shard-class cores were the only type. This means anything that requires thorium, surge alloy, or
phase fabric isn’t included here. (This does include the units of T3 and higher.)
The higher-tier blueprints can be found if you want to bother sorting through the
wreckage of various bases across Serpulo, and those will stick with you if you find them.

Launch Pads (100 CP)

This lets you add launch pads to any properties you have (including the warehouse.) In
addition to being able to automatically move items from storage in one property to another, you
can also use them to retrieve your items from any of your properties, regardless of where you
are.

Cultivator Project Notes (100 CP)

These provide documentation on cultivating and processing the hyper-efficient biomass
generators called “spores.”
While spores do have many uses, being careless with them will lead to total ecological
collapse of a planet’s environment. Not only are the spores able to outcompete plants on just
energy and nutrient requirements, they also have some very toxic metabolic products that made

12
 the destruction of Serpulo’s ecosystem assured when the biomass synthesis facility developing
them was attacked and they were released.
The notes also include some work on biological control methods for the spores, but the
research is incomplete. For now, just make sure your spore facilities aren’t blown up. The notes
on modifying spores for different usages are more complete, but research and testing will be
required for any modifications attempted.

Medical Projectors (100 CP)

While the core technology might share some characteristics with biology, especially the
vehicles, they aren’t biological in any real sense. This means the repair equipment isn’t medical
equipment.
These are modifications to that technology, allowing for healing beams and fields of
various sizes and power.

Teleport Equipment (100 CP)

This equipment consists of two parts: a beacon for the receiving end, and a transmitter.
The beacon is rated for being launched by artillery at distances of 500-700 km.
The transmitter requires a massive amount of energy, and when activated teleports
specified units nearby it to corresponding locations next to the beacon. Part of the reason for the
energy cost is that the process also vaporizes anything nearby. However, cores can jam the
process, so a landing site must be sufficiently far from any hostile cores.

Extraction Outpost (200 CP)

An extrauniversal mining site that has unlimited deposits of any raw material you have
used so far, or that is used in any material you have crafted with in the past.
While it can provide any of these materials to your location, into your core storage, or to
any of your properties, it is limited by the number of launch pads to deliver the bulk materials. It
starts with five launch pads and gains five more at the end of Jumps. (Or every ten years
post-chain.) Each launch pad can deliver enough material for most mid-sized turrets per rocket,
which can launch as fast as every 30 seconds.
While the mining site can be entered like the warehouse, you can’t remove anything
you didn’t enter with, nor can you add additional launch pads, which are the only way to remove
things you didn’t bring into the mining site. Feel free to add production buildings to the site, as
that way you can get refined materials delivered. The site provides all the power it needs.

13
 Anuke Arsenal Solutions, Inc. Proprietary Documents (200 CP)
A complete set of data for the turrets used during the war on Serpulo. Not only does this
contain the more modern turret blueprints like the fuse, segment, and meltdown, it includes
complete design documentation for all the turrets as well. That should allow someone with
enough engineering skill to design new turrets for new situations, or modify the existing turrets
to fit current needs.
This also includes the wall blocks, mender and mend projector, and force projector.

Anuken Dynamics Proprietary Documents (200 CP)

Similar to the Anuke Arsenal Solutions documents, this contains not only the more
modern vehicle designs (T3 and up) but also the design documentation. Again, this would allow
someone with enough engineering skill to create new vehicles or modify existing ones.
This also includes the command center, factories, repair point, repair turret, resupply
point, and reconstructors.

BeltCo. Proprietary Documents (300 CP)

Similar to the Anuke and Anuken options, this grants the modern infrastructure
blueprints and all infrastructure-related design notes. This includes the core designs, as well as
all factories and power systems.

Companions
Only the Jumper may make purchases in this section.

Multi-drop (100 CP)

Import up to eight existing Companions as more Shard-class cores. Each one gets one
Origin, 700 CP to spend as they please, and a +100 CP Item stipend.

Multiplayer Madness (free)

Requires Multi-drop. May be purchased multiple times.
Import an existing Companion as another Shard-class core. They get the same CP as a
Multi-drop Companion but may only spend it on perks and items already purchased by the
Jumper or a Multi-drop Companion.

Drawbacks
There is no drawback limit. There’s certainly enough rope here to literally hang a core.
Companions are also affected by the drawbacks, and gain full points from them.

14
 Just A Shard (+500 CP)
Your powers and perks from before you got to this world are suppressed, like you don’t
have them. Likewise, all your items in your warehouse are locked down so you can’t interact
with them, even if you can still put things in the warehouse.

Stick To The Core Experience (+200 CP)

You lose access to all altforms except the core form. Good luck using your kung fu
when you’re a building. If you have shapeshifting, that doesn’t work either. You are going to be a
building for this entire Jump.
Though on the other hand, at least you won’t turn into a form that needs to breathe,
given the atmosphere.

Team: Yellow (+100 CP)

Your color is yellow. It appears on all your turrets, all your buildings, everything you
build. In fact, yellow is your color this jump. It is the color of your clothes, the color of your hair
and eyes, the color of your magic and energy. Everything about you is yellow for now.
And it’s also indistinguishable from the same yellow as everyone else in the party. Have
fun with that issue.

Starter Pack (+200 CP)

It seems you’ve gotten only a very limited subset of your basic blueprints. You only have
access to mechanical drills, copper conveyors, junctions, duos, and small copper walls. You’ll
need to find the other blueprints on your own if you want to take them with you. Then you need
to unlock those blueprints by destroying large amounts of the materials needed to construct the
buildings. Enough to make, say, a thousand of them? That seems fine. I won’t make you do it all
at once, though.
If you purchased any Proprietary Documents, you do not get the notes for a building or
unit until you get the blueprint.

Map Lock (+100 CP)

Requires Starter Pack
Not only do you have to deal with finding all the blueprints for all the stuff, certain
blueprints are locked behind defeating specific enemy bases. So, for example, in order to get
the launch pad blueprints you have to attack a specific resource stockpile used during the civil
war.

15
 At least you become aware of where these sites are once you encounter one of these
locked blueprints.

Synthetic Intelligence Means “Kinda Stupid” (+200 CP)

It seems your units are running on the most basic code ever. They’re a pain to deal
with, flying directly through enemy AA to get to their destinations, getting stuck on power nodes
and random rocks, and generally displaying the same kind of decision-making as would come
from 100 lines of code tops.
This not only applies to Mindustry units, but any other automated units you use.

Avatar Costs A Lot (+100 CP)

You may only spawn your Guardian Avatar for free once. After that, spawning it will
consume resources, in accordance with the power of the Avatar. A Shard with no powers before
this would require enough resources to make a Poly, while more powerful people would require
significantly more to make their Avatars.
Not only will this be required when you die, it is also required when you possess a turret
or unit, as that means that your Avatar is destroyed. Or when you create a new core.

Intruders At The Gates (+200 CP)

Normally the damaged enemy systems give up trying to force you from a sector after a
few dozen attempts. Now, any base of yours that isn’t surrounded by your other bases will be
under near-constant attacks from enemy forces teleporting in. At least they keep teleporting in
at the same location.
And the waves do get bigger and badder as time goes on. If you leave your borders
stationary for too long, you’ll be seeing insane attacks.

The Blitz (+100 CP)

Requires Intruders At The Gates
Oh, I’m sorry, I was mistaken - all of your bases will be under near-constant siege, not
just your border bases.

Hot Drop (+100 CP)

Oh, did I say Ground Zero was lightly defended? Sorry, my bad, it’s actually a massive,
heavily fortified base with a dozen cores that you’ll have to destroy before you can leave the
area.

Wave Shields (+400 CP)

Every instance of every unit you kill will be a bit tougher than the last. Not by a huge
amount - another shot from a duo would probably make up the difference - but it doesn’t reset
until you end the Jump. Have fun dealing with Crawlers capable of tanking Meltdown beams.

Rival Reclaimer (+500 CP)

Must take at least 500 CP worth of other Drawbacks.
When taking this Drawback, you do not get the +500 CP from this drawback at the start
of the Jump. Instead, you get it at the end, and may open up this sheet and make additional
purchases with your CP.
Another Shard has fallen to Serpulo at the same time as you, but somewhere else. The
intelligence controlling it is brutal and cunning. It will learn your tactics and adapt to them. The
weaknesses in your tactics will be pressed hard. Any technology it recovers, it can
reverse-engineer and mass-produce.
This Shard has fought for the length of the entire war and not only has every single
blueprint in its core database, but also all the design notes and the engineering skill to adapt its
tools towards countering you.

 It is bloodthirsty and grows stronger. It will not stop until it is killed, and every single core
that it created is turned to scrap. The Jump will not end until you defeat it completely.
In return for going to this timeline, you get to keep Serpulo. In future Jumps, it can be
imported into the setting somewhere out of the way, or just remain in a pocket dimension.

Fire The Interplanetary Accelerator! (+0 CP)

Look, after you conquer the entire planet, if you want to, you can just get the heck out of
here if you want. It’s pretty boring with no else around. You can leave anytime if you just want to
finish up a project or something.

Conclusion
Congratulations on your victory.
Interplanetary Accelerator
Leave this world behind. While the battle was fun, there’s not much left. Continue on
your adventure.
Core Rooted
Stay here, and make this your new home.
Abandon Sector
Return to a home you once had, and remain there.

Notes/Acknowledgement
Thanks to daemonflayer,
I took most of the screenshots. Geometry Nerd’s screenshot was from
”random-player-800” on reddit.
-You can use your powers through your Guardian Avatar and through a possessed
object like it was your body, but Brain For Command does not grant anything under your control
any additional powers.

 Okay, what the heck is the technology like?
Well, we don’t know for certain.
The construction beam technology seems to be only able to manipulate things
physically, not chemically or nuclearly. You have to use a factory to chemically process sand to
turn it into silicon, as an example. On the other hand, it doesn’t seem to require much in the way
of power, and it is probably the equivalent to a combination 3D printer, lathe, CNC, drill press,
and so much more at range.
We also know that it sucks at reclaim, as you only get half the materials back when
deconstructing.
Are recipes in the game accurate to reality?
Fanwank. Except if you took Starter Pack, in which case yes, at least for the duration of
the Jump. Assume that resource distribution is enough to make things viable if you don’t.
However, the thorium/surge/phase divide is accurate to the game build.
Does Overdrive/Mend work on other technology?
Er, yes? Mend works on solid blocks of metal. And overdrive works on belts. Belts.
How big is Serpulo?
Mars-sized, approximately.

Changelog
v1.2 -Build 135 Edition -- Doing this now rather than waiting for the official release
because I have the inspiration at the moment and the new ships seem relatively finished. (Also,
because I don’t want to just reupload the first version) I might add the new planets as scenarios
when they come out. Depends on how it goes.
In any case, the planets and their specialized technology will be available, just not
something with any mention here.
-Added Retusa Origin and its perks.
-Weaving Hands now mentions splitting power between different effects.
-Decided that Serpulo is the same size as Mars
-Spine for Trouble now gives mental resistance instead of anti-tunnel vision
-Laser For Charging replaces Heart For Healing
-Changed companion imports - Multi-drop now provides 8 for 100 CP but can only be
taken once, and Multiplayer Madness now allows mixing and matching from previous
purchases.
-Reduced payment of Map Lock, Avatar Costs A Lot, Intruders At The Gates, The Blitz,
and Hot Drop drawbacks.
-Fire The Interplanetary Accelerator now explicitly lets you leave anytime after winning.
v1.1
-Changed Companion import to not leave 50 CP leftover.
v1.0
-Starter Kit has a material cost attached to unlocking blueprints.
