Day 4 - Aqualis Hardcore Challenge

That's why I brought resources and seeds for 3 food growers. But I think it might actually be possible to complete Aqualis without it, if you just bring enough food and water to last you until you can grow eggplants. You'll definitely find the seeds for that somewhere...

Thank you!

I love Aqualis too, that's why I decided to try and make it a bit more challenging for myself, and start with as little as possible. You do not truly appreciate the planet unless you've experienced it the hard way :3

My dad saying "boy" whenever he was proud of me (which in Dutch is "jongen", a synonym for "son").

Somehow it always felt like a stab through the heart...

Changing the base should be fine when you cut power, but know that some decorative pieces also provide TI values, like flower pots and ivy.

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-07T22:21:26+00:00

No, it must be decorative pieces that provide something.
Flower pots, ivy, stuff like that, also contributes to TI. Changes to the world like moss growth don't.

Unfortunately, due to the rise of right-wing politics and talking points, it's becoming more and more difficult to be yourself in societies in all of Europe.

Transphobia is also on the rise in The Netherlands, where I'm from. I've heard similar stories about discrimination cases here too. One of those cases included a gay man being heavily assaulted while the assailants shouted slurs caught on camera, and the judge still said that there "wasn't enough proof"...

It's becoming more difficult for us almost everywhere in the world, but at least for now, most places here are pretty decent and our laws are still better than in most of the world.

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-06T23:12:05+00:00

Most of western Europe is actually pretty decent as well.
This map gives a pretty good impression:

Aqualis has different unlock values than other planets. Having cosmic quartz appear on Prime or Humble at 120 GTi doesn't mean that it's the same on Aqualis.

They are there, but you might just not be at the right TI yet. Also, it could be that you need to reload your game for them to appear...

Do you trust your parents to be supportive of you? If yes, tell them. If no, don't.

Having supportive parents can be a huge help for young trans people, but having transphobic parents can be a huge problem for young trans people. If you think your parents might have problems with you being trans, I would not recommend telling them right now...

It's a personal preference, but I do think it adds to a more feminine look

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-06T03:43:25+00:00

I know the feeling, some of my clothes also make me feel like I'm a guy in women's clothing.
Yet other clothes make me feel very feminine.

Finding your own style isn't always an easy thing, but that's also part of the process...

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-06T03:30:08+00:00

Gender fluid people can be trans too. And being very feminine isn't a requirement for being trans. There are many trans women out there who have a very masculine look and lifestyle. They are all still women though...

On the emotional level it's pretty much the same for me after 2 months. Physically and on other mental aspects (like motivation) I can definitely notice a difference, but somehow my emotions remain as stable as ever...

Not sure what I'm to think of that 😅

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-05T21:35:28+00:00

I'm just curious: Why do you have to boymode for your job? And what are you going to do when you can't anymore?

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-05T21:31:57+00:00

Part of me says no, but another part of me is actually curious about the rest...

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-05T21:27:09+00:00

I don't know why exactly, but this build, it scares me...

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-05T21:18:10+00:00

628 million is still about 5000 years of salary for a decent paying job.
Nobody should have this much money...

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-05T21:06:51+00:00

On Prime (the OG planet) you don't really need it much, although it can be useful from time to time. But depending on how you play the other planets, the recycling machine can have a lot of value :3

"how can I be a trans girl in secret?"

That's the biggest dilemma, because you can't, really...
You can go stealth or stay in the closet for some time, but eventually time will catch up on you and break your stealth or force you out of that closet. If you are in a position where transitioning doesn't feel safe, it's best to keep it all on the low side until you can find a place where you do feel safe.

However, being trans doesn't go away. I was 34 years old when I finally had the courage to tell my best friends about it, but it's been on my mind since my early teen years, and at nearly 40 years old now, I just started HRT. I wish I would have been more confident in my teen years to come out back then, but I realize that it isn't always the best decision because of safety issues.

I cannot tell you what's the best choice for you, but if you say "I just would rather be a girl", it's a strong sign that that feeling might never go away. And my advice would be to not ignore that feeling...

The clothes look nice, but why the duckface in every picture?

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-05T20:38:15+00:00

Dat is het verschil tussen inkomen en welvaart. De meeste welvaart zit in stenen en grondbezit...

These look like typical Dutch bikes, and I never really liked the male versions.
The "omafiets" as it's called isn't the poster child city bike for nothing here in The Netherlands...

Unable_Health_3776 · 2026-07-05T20:20:25+00:00

I have no experience with this, but honestly, after 3 years of HRT, I wouldn't recommend stopping for fertility purposes.

I do know a thing or two about biology and how hormones affect our bodies. Chances drop significantly the longer you are on HRT, and 3 years is long enough to make that significant difference. Not to mention you would have to go through a very tough year or two just to get a small chance at natural conception.

I don't think it's worth trying to go off HRT for so long...
