Here's my take on the story: Gravitas was a techno-bio research company Dupes were originally created to be a temporary, disposable workforce to establish a future human colony. According to one of the data entries, dupes are made from DNA of their own staff. They were also trying to create teleportation tech, that's why at the start of the game, you say "not at target location". But as you can tell it went wrong and large chunk of the planet got ripped out and tossed out into space. Also, this is where neutronium comes into play. According to the database neutronium is universe's 'immune' response. The temporal tear is the remnants of the teleportation device
I've aways been somewhat disappointed with most ruins leftovers. Other than story traits, would be nice if there were ruins of more complex structures that you may rebuild. Maybe a farm with some seeds in a locker that needs liquid and power, maybe some power station or similar structures. For example, I saw one mod where you could rebuild, or I mean relocate the AETN using "neutronium cores" so its balanced since you can rebuild only a certain amount and the structure needed to be researched and required dupe skills ti build.
Are you going to do a video on the different "story traits" in base game? Curious to know if it's even worth it to use / accomplish any of them in the early or mid game, besides maybe the Biobot Builder.
Is there anyway to get rid of an unknown status on a single tile? I have one that didn't clear after opening the door. :( I can tell it's a solid tile so I can't simply walk-through the space.
@@GCFungus Getting on top of it didn't work, but fortunately that tile in particular was an ice tile and it melted; allowing access to that space that I could send a dupe to.
it is easy, just build any building 2 tiles high under it, like a storage bin, dupes will dig out black spot, then just walk there with a tile build under. ur welcome
I found one of the teleporters that move dups to another planetoid in my current game, should I just send a dup over straightaway or wait till my base is more self sufficient before doing so? Or is there really no real disadvantage to sending one dup over early. I have not unlocked space travel yet and have only really just made a materials research terminal.
There's no disadvantage to sending a dupe early, at least because the return teleporter is immediately available. So if you have to bring them back for some reason it's easy. Plus by going you'll get access to different resources.
Send a good digger/builder early and excavate the material transporters, bionic dupes are great because they have three cycles of work. Then send a scientist to activate them. It's nice to send through complex materials to get things up and running fast.
Thanks for covering the lore. It's pretty disappointing as far as story goes. Those stoopid emails about office fridges are annoying to read. I didn't know earth was destroyed.

FINALLY A LORE VIDEO!! THANK YOU!

I agree, but they have been adding story traits which I think are more interesting 'ruins' to interact with.
you can dig and deconstruct your way into the hidden rooms
I always thought that gravitus created the temporal tear with the temporal bow on accident.
3:38 "And remember to manually complete the process". Who learnt this with an "woops"? => 🖐
We have learnt this many times!
there is a mod that takes care of this automatically, I think

Yes, I have plans to make them as individual Tutorial Bites after I finish the plants.

The best you can try is get a dupe right on top of it, but I have also had this bug where there is simply no way to reveal it.

Very informative!

Your voice has a certain... gravitas.
I'll see myself out.
:D
I'm ultra early 😎💕
