The Flying Mining Rig

The idea for the ship originally came from Morphologis, after a few complaints about its movement system and some modifications to it they agreed that it was the best way to solve the resource problem. The plans for the mining rig were presented in Let's Build It, Secrets, and in Building the Future.

After it was sabotaged by the Grey Suit it was used to dig a hole in Shack Lake and mine resources. It somehow got destroyed after season 1 because of a malfunction. The hole created by the rig was used to create the Silo Base.

## Design

It originally had 4 large landing gears but, in Deep Core... , Sabotage, and Back to the Lab, it is shown that the Grey Suit detached a landing gear. It uses atmo thrusters for movement, 2 large ones for upwards thrust and several small ones for maneuvering, and has rotor mounted spotlights to illuminate the drill. It has a full conveyor system with a large cargo container in which the materials are stored. It is powered by a set of easily accessible batteries which recharge thanks to the solar panels on the rig.

The rig has a "landing pad" near which the main command seat, batteries and most of the gyroscopes are located, in the main level. It is equipped with 4 landing gears that secure the rig to the ground.

In the center of the rig is the drill, which uses pistons and gyroscopes to lower itself down. It is connected to the large cargo container in the main level through a conveyor system. The actual drill is made out of 9 individual smaller drills which consist on three rock-grinding steel devices which rotate on a mount which also rotates. The center of each individual drill there is a collector through which the mine materials are put in, and this collector connects to the conveyor system.
Catastrophic Failure

This is the first Episode in the series. It is the only episode in season 1 that is shared between all POVs. After this episode the story line splits into Morphologis' episodes, CaptainShack's episodes and w4stedspace's episodes.

## Story

A shuttle flying through a shipyard in the orbit of Earth. 2 passengers are onboard. W4stedspace, the engineer and commander of the federation exploration ship USS Constitution and Morphologis a scientist of the Company who created the Duality Drive. The Duality Drive was installed on the Constitution for a test. W4sted is complaining because the ship is old and he thinks that it can't handle the Duality Drive. Morph is optimistic. They finally arrives at the Constitution. Shack, the captain of the ship is informed and meets them in the engine bay. He talks with them about the plan: Jump to the martian moon Demos, then fly to Phobos and get back with an other jump. The ships seems ready but W4sted is still concerned. Shack is back on the bridge, the clamps are released and the ship gets out of the dock. It's finally the moment of the Jump. But something goes wrong. The ship finish the jump but not near Demos. It's in an unknown system, in the gravity field of an unknown Earth-like planet. The ship is also critically damaged. Various hull breaches, loses of hydrogen, radiation on deck 3 and a lot of casualties. Most of the systems are down and the ship is attracted by the gravity of the planet with no way to stop the fall. The captain opens a communication with the crew and said everyone to abandon the ship. The bridge is evacuated but Shack remains at his console. Morph don't want to leave the ship but W4sted convince him. They run to the escape pods and leave the ship. A few seconds later 2 main explosions divide it in multiple parts. The debris begin to fall on the planet. The bridge is nearly intact but it's falling in the atmosphere with Shack on board.
ROPE

"You know, I expected pulleys, or maybe a rope..." - Captain Shack on seeing the ROPE.

### Type

Remotely Operated Packaged Elevator device (ROPE)

## Technical specification

### Dimensions

At least 15 small ship blocks tall, 12 blocks wide/deep

### Armament

None.

The ROPE (Remotely Operated Packaged Elevator) vehicle was a semi-autonomous transportation device introduced by Doctor Morphologis as a means of achieving access to the The Shaft. It's design was less than successful, as an apparent loss of control on descent led to extensive systems damage and propulsion failure. The out of control landing destroyed the thrusters required for ascent, stranding the Survivors at the bottom of the shaft.

## General Design

The ROPE has two internal decks - a command deck where the pilot of the craft sits and a passenger/cargo deck with seating for two and several small cargo containers. Propulsion in the four cardinal directions are handled by atmospheric thrusters and four hydrogen thrusters provide upwards thrust with tankage for hydrogen fuel immediately above them. Sensors are prevalent on all four sides, presumably to provide the vehicle a way to autonomously navigate the shaft. Rounding out the design was a high power radio repeater to make it possible to maintain contact with the surface.

## Maiden Voyage

On its maiden voyage, the vehicle appeared to suffer complete guidance failure, entering an unrecoverable spin that crashed the vehicle into damaged tunnel supports at the bottom of the shaft. Its crash position destabilized the supports, necessitating an emergency evacuation before the craft could break through and plummet to the ground. After this penultimate crash, there was little left of the ship for salvage aside; the onboard hydrogen supply had been leaked and ignited in the crash and the radio repeater was destroyed.
Reclaimers

Mentioned briefly by Commander W4sted while talking to Doctor Morphologis in the Federation's moon base in episode "Memories" of the second season of group survival around minute 13:00. W4sted puts Morphologis in a hostile situation involving facing a "Reclaimer" and stating that he would "panic, run for cover, leave those you care about behind.". Through this speech we deduce that Reclaimers are outer space, hostile creatures.In CaptainShack's prequel episode the pirate captain Valefor describes to Shack what Reclaimers are.

Some aliens that devour refined metals from the ships, he also says that the Federation doesn't believe in the existence of them and thinks they are another space-tale. Reclaimers tear through ship hulls easily, but it is unknown how effective they are against shields. They find ships by tracking their signal produced by the ship engines. They have a a hard exterior armor which protects them from enemy weapons, it is unknown if they evolved into this or are the remnants of another race as no one has ever captured a Reclaimer in a decent state.

The Reclaimer "fleet" is known to have different sized ships, the small metal eating Reclaimer vessels and a "Scythe", a much larger ship of Reclaimer design but with an extremely tough armor that can only be pierced by a huge amount of firepower. In the episode a heavily armored fighter rammed against it at full speed is needed only to disable the ship temporarily.

Apart from this nothing more is known about Reclaimers.

## The Prequel

During the Prequel episode the Reclaimers attack the Federation Destroyer Resolute under Shack's temporary command. The Reclaimer fleet which included a Scythe is destroyed by the Resolute and Valfor's fighter. Their appearance in the sector may also imply they are the cause of the disappearance of some ships in the same area.

## Notes

While the statement about the Reclaimers being nearly unknown to the Federation was true during the Prequel episode, other statements in the series seems to imply that Reclaimers are a better understood not uncommon threat at the time of the Duality Drive Experiment.
Assault Rifle

The **Assault Rifle** (alternatively, the MR-20) was a firearm used as, presumably, a standard personal defence weapon. It appears to function as a kind of Automatic rifle, but can be used for three shot or single shot, much like the antiquated AK-47. Likely, it is used as a galactic standard Infantry weapon, as seen in the episode, "Charon". At the beginning of season Two, it appears that these weapons have been replaced in favor of either more powerful (or useful) firearms. These weapons have 4 different levels: Basic, Rapid-Fire, Precise, and Elite, with Elite being the best of the 4.

## In Real Life

The "Assault Rifle", or more properly, the automatic rifle, can first be traced back to the Second World War. German military commanders needed a rifle that had the fire rate of a Submachine gun. This originated in the creation of the STG-44, which filled the requirements for the Wehrmacht. The Automatic rifle continued to evolve through the century, with two of the most prominent being the Soviet AK-47 and post Korean war American M16s.

The Automatic rifle has largely replaced the Battle Rifles of most militaries, as the ability for every man to have automatic fire allows for greater suppression from infantry squads without requiring specialist weapons such as Submachine guns.

The weapon has been renamed the MR-20.

Assault Rifle as a term is traditionally understood to be a modern semi-automatic rifle, or else fully automatic rifle. However, the two are quite distinct.
Perimeter Defense Guns

The Perimeter Defense guns were built in between Season One and Season Two, and consisted of 4 to 6 light turrets.

## Purpose

The purpose of the Perimeter Defense Guns were to protect the survivors against any external threat. When The Drones finally start to attack, within a week the Wall is heavily damaged but some defense guns remained online. Until the Type 6 attacked anyway.

## Status

CaptainShack says he was surprised the wall held out as long as it did. The wall is mostly destroyed after the Type Six attack.

## Other Walls and Defense Guns

There were other walls that were going to be built by the survivors, as seen in Dr Morphologis binocular view in Intelligence. They were built next to the already existing guns. Along Commander W4stedspace's already existing defenses some additional guns were created. The Guns were completed but they were quickly destroyed by enemy Drones.
USS Resolute

The Resolute is a Federation destroyer under the command of captain Aaron. It appears in the prequel episode. After the death of the first officer, Shack (who at the time was a lieutenant) is send on the ship to replace him. W4sted is a crewman on the ship. The mission is to escort 2 cargo vessels full of supplies for the Moon of Shadow in the Eclipse system.

The convoy is attacked by pirates from the federation colony worlds led by Valefor. Missiles hit the bridge and the engine bay killing Aaron and some crew-members. Shacks take the command and make a deal with pirates while W4sted in the engine bay repairs the weapon systems.

Soon after the deal is done and the pirates goes away with a cargo ship a strange faction known as the Reclaimers arrives. They point the cargo ship, to distract them Valefor sais Shack to increase the energy output of the reactors. The Reclaimers easy disable the weapons of destroyer but Valefor arrives to help. Then when a bigger Reclaimer ship arrives Valefor rams hit with his heavy fighter and disables it. The federation ships after rescue Valefor, who eventually joins the federation fleet, go away. At this point the Resolute is heavy damaged and a lot of the crew is dead.

The actual state of the ship is unknown.
RPR Ballistic Knife

The RPR Ballistic Knife is a tool and last resort weapon. Its main advantage over a gun is that it is silent and does not need ammunition to be operated. Likely, the RPR is standard issue for soldiers in the 2070's for emergencies. While a knife is useless against anything with decent armor. (I.E. Drones), knives also have other utilitarian uses for survival and generally are useful tools for a variety of purposes outside of combat. Morphologis is known to own one, mostly because the other survivors do not want to get accidentally killed by Morph, the running gag being he gets the worst of almost any weapon. As of yet, the RPR has not been seen in combat, by either any other member of the crew or Morphologis himself.

## In Real Life

The "Knife" as a weapon is not traditionally a military arm, largely a tool or a weapon of assassins. In fact, it has only gained more prominence in the 20th century during the World Wars, when the more cumbersome melee weapons of older times were finally largely obsolete. While the Bayonet is an extremely effective attachment to a Battle Rifle, it is not useful in other functions, such as cutting rope, bandages, packages, or opening crates.

This resulted in the Combat knife becoming more standard issue, and with the transition from Battle Rifles to Automatic Rifles, the bayonet was not nearly as useful given that Automatic rifles tend to be shorter. Thus, the Knife became more useful.

Contrary to popular belief, despite not being a ranged weapon, Knives are still very deadly weapons at close quarters, and are even capable of penetrating "bulletproof" armor due to Kevlar being designed explicitly to stop ballistic impacts, not kinetic ones.
Gameception

The survivors are playing video-games in the base. It's the evening before the they start the travel to find the Grey Suit.

W4sted presents the game that they are going to play: Universe of Tanks. The game is only for 2 players however Shack is tired and goes to bed. So W4sted and Morph begin the first mission: Runway Assault. They must attack an enemy runway defended by various turrets and some vehicles.

They get in their tanks and begin the attack. After a lot of combat they clear the base and make the runway collapse. When the mission is finished they go to bed.
Bob

Bob is the name of the planet in which the USS Constitution jumped into the gravity of upon its maiden voyage with the Duality Drive. The planet was named by Captain Shack during one of his logs prior to any other survivors being brought to his location.

The planet is very similar to Earth, with a gravitational acceleration of 9.81 meters per second squared, a breathable atmosphere consisting of 72% nitrogen, 26% Oxygen and 2% other gases. The ground has iron, nickel, cobalt, magnesium, silicon, silver, gold, uranium, and ice. The main difference is that the planet is only 120 km in diameter. There also is much less surface water than seen on Earth, and there is no platinum anywhere. Almost all valuable resources are located within the top couple hundred meters of crust. There seems to also be a lack of a liquid mantle and although there may be a faint magnetic field, all tools used to measure magnetism were designed for very large values of it, values not found on Planet Bob.

The planet has 3 distinctive biomes which flow into each other. Near the equator, there is a Savannah grasslands which goes from 0 degrees latitude to about 30 degrees north and south. The trees here look sun-baked and most vegetation seems dead. This slowly fades into a temperate zone at this point consisting of both coniferous and deciduous trees along with many lakes. This continues to about 80 to 85 degrees north and south. From this point to the poles, it is frozen tundra. The ground is permanently covered in snow and the few trees that grow are all coniferous.

The temperature between different zones varies. In the savanna zone the temperature is relatively warm, ranging from twenty to thirty degrees Celsius. In the forest area it is a cool breeze, with the temperatures ranging from below freezing to cool weather in the range from the tens to twenties in temperatures. In the frozen tundra the temperature rarely goes above freezing and it is always winter.

There are also mountains that reach up into the unbreathable zone of the atmosphere and deep canyons. Generally, the terrain of Planet Bob is hostile to all but the most rugged of offroad vehicles.

## History

Prior to the USS Constitution crash landing on Bob, there were several other humans that have been to the planet. The first of these groups are from Dead Tech, a small intelligence agency in The Federation. It was soon after the landing that the Dead Tech people began to build large structures underneath the surface, such as the Railway Network and the Dead Tech facility. However, either the Dead Tech members were put into cryo sleep of they were killed off by something on the planet. After the Dead Tech people vanished, a second party entered the atmosphere on a ship, perhaps a colonization team or mining crew. Shortly after arriving on the planet these people discover the underground bases, and move into them after being attacked by the drones. After a few weeks, the survivors of the second group of humans were all dead.
John Roland

John Roland was a maintenance worker that was stationed on a Dead Tech facility on Planet Bob. He was the last survivor of the facility and recorded a log shortly before death.

John Roland and the people he mentions are thought to be from a second party because it says in his log that they had only been there for six months, and it would be very unlikely that they could have built it all.

## John's log

"This is chief of \*Static\* Maintenance John Roland. My final log, \*static\* you found this, well, you probably found me. Do me a favor, tell Mark I'm sorry \*static\* home like I promised. Not really sure exactly where it went wrong. We made it to the surface 16 months ago, atmospheric conditions were about what we expected. Landing was a little rough, but Sarah handled it just fine. \*static\* kept giving her shit about the landing for the next six months, no one I know could have landed that \*static\* system came with only a few hiccups, \*static\* we did see a spike and, \*static\* but with a few adjustments of the \*static\* damn, well it was a little temperamental when coming online, \*static\* T6, \*static\* months, they should have \*static\* They killed us. The last worker \*static\* C1-62. He was the last to lose power, just down the hall from where I'm recording this log. Actually teared up a little bit when I found him. We used the last bit of power cells trying to repair \*jumps ahead\* If I didn't know any better, I would say those to little workers were friends. \*Laughs\* Or I'm just losing my mind, \*sigh\* Chance. \*static\* Better work." That was the end of the log.

## Behind the scenes

The name "John Roland" is most likely a reference to the John Roland in CaptainShack's Fallout 4 series which he did Livestreams on TGN and his personal channel.
Survival Rover

### Appears in

Where Am I?, Potatoes, A New Hope, Potato Training, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, Desolation, Changing Skies, We All Have Ghosts

## Technical specification

### Mass

1502 kg

Morphologis' survival rover was the first moving object that he designed on Planet Bob. It was a short, light craft designed to use limited resources and be used to detect and move ores.

The rover completely ran on solar energy along with batteries. It was very minimalist as it only had 2 batteries, an antenna, an ore detector, a container, a connector, and a chair. It was held off the ground using 6 wheels. It had a total weight of 1502 kg. This machine also had the feature of being able to self right itself by using the solar panels and motors to push the rover back onto its wheels.

This rover was later mainly used as a satellite of the Mobile Base, used to collect resources and scout out new areas. It was eventually destroyed by the doctor being startled by the grey suit and swerving to miss it. This sent the rover and him off a cliff. Morphologis survived the landing, but there was little left of the rover. The only part of the rover to return was the chair that Morphologis was sitting in when he was rescued by Potatoes.

Its ruins can still be found at the bottom of the canyon.

Potatoes had generally positive feelings about the vehicle, and was sad to see it in such terrible shape after Morph crashed it.
Charon

Charon was the first moon of Pluto and is part of a major colonization and terraforming project led by The Company. In 2075, Commander W4stedspace and his brother infiltrated Charon during shore leave to find their Sister and her Fiance. In the end they were apprehended by The Company and were interrogated.
Desolation

"Desolation" is the seventh episode of Morphologis' POV in Season One of Group Survival. In this episode, Morph and the gang flee the base in a desperate attempt to find safety.

## Plot

Two weeks following the events of the previous episode, Home Base and the Survival Rover are seen destroyed. Morphologis is walking in a field heading to the sunset as TIUS loses battery power. In severe pain, Morph falls unconscious and calls out for Potatoes.

Two weeks earlier, Morph, TIUS and Potatoes are searching for whatever caused Potatoes' previous accident a few days earlier when contact with Alpha Outpost is suddenly lost. Potatoes is getting along with the rest of the gang, with TIUS even remarking that Potatoes is growing on her. As they head up the mountain where Alpha Outpost is located, TIUS says that even her personal sensors cannot find anything. They discover Alpha Outpost destroyed and tipped over.

The memory log records a surge in the lithium ion battery before contact was lost. Morph and TIUS suspect sabotage as he decides to salvage anything left. In the middle of this, TIUS detects another signal coming from Home Base as Morph and Potatoes rush down the cliff to make it before something similar happens. As they reach the foot of the mountain, a loud bang is heard and TIUS informs Morph that they have lost contact with the base.

They find the base destroyed, with power lost and materials everywhere. Morph, upset and angry determines that they can't stay where they are and that they need to find the survivors. Following the scrapping of anything else they could recover, the gang heads out in the direction of Falnore's pod. Potatoes begins to lose battery and they decide to rest.

Morph and TIUS discuss the situation. TIUS believes that the saboteurs are few in number or there may be just one individual seeing as they haven't committed to a direct attack, instead focusing on gruella tactics. After he sets up a shelter, he askes Potatoes to guard him in the night as he tries to get some sleep.

K-11x2 'Mercy'

The K-11x2 'Mercy' is presumably the name of the dual wield configuration of pistols used by Morphologis. As these weapons can cause little damage on their own, Morph is trusted with them as part of the running gag that he is not allowed to have good weapons. He is seen using them in the defense of the Silo Base with W4stedspace.

## In Real Life

The trope of Dual wielding handguns is an old trope that still sees prominence in media today, particularly in Star Wars. It is likely that Dual Wielding was first inspired by ship's crews, who would bring two flintlock pistols to a fight in order to make sure they had two shots as opposed to one, given the innacurate nature of firearms in the age of sail.

Dual Wielding in practice is only ever used it someone needs to get more shots out of a weapon or else in fiction, as the amount of concentration needed to aim two seperate weapons at once is immense to the point of impracticality.

The K-11 'Mercy' Appears to take direct inspiration from the Colt M1911, an infamous handgun that has seen service in the US Armed forces for almost a century, and is still a popular weapon among civilians and Police forces across the world.

The weapons were modeled by a modder named Ven, who includes them as part of a modpack on steam.
Underground Explorers

"Underground Explorers" is the eleventh episode of CaptainShack's POV in Season Two of Group Survival. In this episode, Shack, Morph and W4sted continue to explore the mysterious underground rail network and attempt to bypass an obstruction in the tracks.

## Plot

Following the discovery of John Roland's corpse, CaptainShack continues to explore the mysterious underground tunnels. He decides to modify a derelict drone to travel faster. Following a few minutes of disabling the AI, Shack powers up the drone and heads down the tunnel, eventually encountering Morphologis, who initially thinks he's a drone. Morph and Shack reconvene and hear W4stedspace talking over an intercom system, quoting a poem.

They make their way to W4sted, where they find him at a large Rail Cargo Transfer Facility that connects to the rest of the rail network. W4sted shows them around the facility and they eventually try to find a way to continue on the way out of the tunnels. Morph finds that the rail line is caved in, and they come to the conclusion that the only way out is a large hangar door.

After messing with a large crane and using buttons and levers to try to open the door, the crew is finally able to open the door. Inside, they find another door, which thankfully is opened with the click of a button. On the left and right, there are two large tunnels, with the one on the right being caved in. Shack and Morph find two small vehicles inside the tunnel, one of them being intact, and the crew head down the tunnel, never to be heard from again.

On the surface, R-5 and Potatoes are taking the Warden out for a joyride. As Potatoes ponders it's name with R-5, they fly off into the distance, past the lake.

## Notes

Underground Explorers was the final episode released by CaptainShack for Group Survival. The scene where the crew leaves in the vehicle in the tunnel was the final scene ever released for the show.

At the time of release, some on the Discord server theorized that Potatoes and R-5 had detected a signal or were looking for the crew at the end.
Broken...

Captain Shack is building rocket launchers under the wings of the Warden when he hears a loud noise coming from Morphologis' lab. He runs to see what happens and find Morph in front of a battleship cannon which has some parts of Potatoes still attached. He scolds Morph for what he did and for even thinking of giving Potatoes a gun. He then gets back to his Base saying that in the evening they will se Ghostbusters.

Next day Shack calls Morph and they begin to transform the base in a command center and create a bunk for the captain under it. When they finish they notice that TIUS lost contact with one of the drones of the sensor grid created by Morph. They get in the Warden and go to check.

They arrive in the middle of the night and they found it destroyed. However they are able to recover a footage from the camera mounted on the drone where they can see Morph's mobile base. They notice that there's a path nearby probably left by the thrusters of the mobile base but they can't follow it in the middle of the night without a plan so they get back to base.
Mr. Illusive

Mr Illusive is a crew member of the PSS Canterbury. He joined the crew in the year 2096.

## Early life

Illusive was born on the starship ESS Griswold. He called the ship home until he was the age of 22. The ship was destroyed and his parents were killed, but somehow he managed to make it out of the fighting. After this he went from ship to ship doing odd jobs across Federation space.

## Life on the Canterbury

Mr Illusive serves as the ships navigation and remote tech engineer, mostly working on R-5 and other issues with the ship. He along with the rest of the crew are dismissive of Nobody of Importance, and call him "kid".
Space Engineers: Solo Survival

Space Engineers: Solo Survival follows The Janitor of the USS Constitution, an unnamed crew member who survived the destruction of the Constitution and landed on Planet Bob with only a badly damaged mining pod for survival.

The series is currently in the pre-production planning stages and has only released a teaser video to date. A rough story line has been authored that would provide for two seasons: The first season would be around 9 episodes, and the second season only has an opening episode to date pending events as they develop in the Group Survival series.

One of the goals of the series is to follow events happening within the Group Survival main story-line, but in a way that would allow for Solo Survival to remain an isolated story line.
What the Hell is a Potatoes?

Captain Shack and Commander W4sted wake up and the base is a mess. There are components everywhere, and Shack was apparently sleeping on a drill. They are drunk and they realize that they had a party the evening before. The only thing that Shack remembers is him trying to ride R-5. They exit from the base and they find R-5 is on the roof, his front light a dark pink.

Later, after sobering up, they head back to the Middle Peak where the antenna is to listen to a message from Doctor Morphologis. While they are landing the plane and talking about Star Trek , Potatoes suddenly flies in front of the plane, scaring the Captain and making him damage the plane. Potatoes then runs out of power.

Later, him and W4sted, with the help of R-5, put Potatoes in the new garage created by the commander. W4sted immediately starts working on the mining drone. Shack gets back to the base and creates a landing pad for the Warden. He then finishes the work on the plane, including repairs, and adds a ramp for passengers on the back.

Early in the morning Shack wakes up and finds W4sted in front of his bed. W4sted talks about the GPS locations found inside Potatoes' memory banks : Umbrella and Birdy. The Captain chose to go to birdy before, so they get in the Warden, and begin their trip.

When they arrive they find an empty escape pod, believing it to be Morphologis'. They then go to the coordinates of GPS point Umbrella.

When they arrive, they receive a message from Morph who is shooting a Black Suit with the turret on his mobile base.They land behind the base and while W4sted is covering him, Morph gets into the plane. They take off immiditaly leaving the Black Suit and the mobile base. As the episode ends,

The suit turns to the mobile base, ominously alluding that it is not the last we have seen of it.
Enemy at the Gates

The plane was shot down by the turrets and it crashed near the base. W4sted take control of Ed and uses it to go and check the crash-site. Suddenly a drone exits from the bushes. Ed start shooting, the drone escapes. Some moments later from the microphone on Ed, W4sted can hear lines from the film Independence Day and the drone rams Ed downing it. The commander gets on the rover and goes out to look for the drone but it already left. W4sted gets back to the base and he attaches the crane to the rover. He soon arrive where Ed is and he turn it back on. It's night and the commander get back to base.
Gopher

Gopher's fighter, from "The War Within"

Gopher was Lieutenant Shack's flight instructor and responsible for his final flight tests. He appears in Season 2, Episode 9 "The War Within" and was only shown in a fighter.

### Behind The Scenes

The voice of Gopher was provided by Gopher, a fellow YouTuber who also mods Skyrim and Fallout. His channel can be found here.
Admiral Falnore

Admiral Falnore is a member of the Federation fleet and the person in charge of the collaboration between the Federation and the Company on the Duality Drive project. He has an office on the Moon Base where he introduces doctor Morphologis to Shack.

### Trivia

Admiral Falnore is voiced by Falnore. This is possible because Falnore never talks as himself before his death.
Isolation

Isolation (Isolation Fever in thumbnail and bearing "Day 4: Frozen Tundra" in the title sequence) opens with Commander w4sted suddenly waking up, convinced something is outside. He is continuing to experience dizziness and blurry vision, but the med bay on the Constitution wreck is too damaged to be of any use. Fortunately he salvages enough to make a rudimentary medbay and even replace his crash-damaged suit with a slightly less-damaged one he found -- fortunately empty. With luck, he hopes to be able to work with his original suit and recover footage of what caused the Constitution's destruction, as his injuries appear to have left him with no memory of what happened.

Unfortunately, it turns out his old suit is completely irreparable and his new suit turns out to be the one that he and Captain Shack had rigged the previous summer for an intern - no suit AI, no servo assist, and the suit warnings are stuck in Russian. Worse, the audio problems with his recording continue to be an issue.

Having to wait for the under-powered medbay to chug through its tests, he continues to beef up his base, building an annex, a parking area for his rover, and adding more solar panels and cameras.
ED 209 (episode)

Commander W4sted is digging with his hand drill and continuously saying "I've got to keep drilling" and then he begin to fall in a bottomless hole.In that moment he wakes up. He than prepares to launch his new project: ED 209. He drives it out of the tunnel dug by R-5 on top of the underground part of his bunker. When out he lands on the lake and tests the systems. Then he decides to do a joke to scare Morphologis, so he lands on roof of the base and starts transmitting a line from Robocop. This scares Morph but also Shack who exits from the base shooting to ED and destroy its leg before W4sted can stop him. After that W4sted explains to the crew that it was only a joke. At the end of the conversation he gets back to his bunker and begin to create a weapon system for R-5.

The next day the crew and a weaponized R-5 exit from W4sted's bunker. They are ready to start their trip to find the Grey suit. R5 is left to guard the base. W4sted enter the General Bee while Shack and Morph follow him on the Warden.

After and entire day of non stop traveling they set a camp for the night on a hill. everyone has a green camouflage tent except for Morph who for error created a blue one. At center of the camp there's a fire. Then they launch a camera drone created by Shack modifying the drones of Morph's sensor grid. Then they organize their guard duty and get to bed in the tents.
Dead Tech facility

In the final episodes of Season 1, the Survivors inadvertently breach a facility that, among other things, contains a large control room and a lot of Dead Tech crates. In an effort to disable drones who were after W4sted, Captain Shack effectively presses all of the buttons. Shortly thereafter, an overhead display animation is shown that appears to correspond to initiation activity planet-wide. At the time of Season 2's start, it is not known how the Survivors escaped the base.

Parts of the base suggest that it was built for humans

## Rooms

### Main rooms

The main room is a very large and deep cave. The sides are walls for other parts of the base and catwalks are used to travel in this room. Due to the lack of maintenance most of the catwalks are damaged or missing. In the center of the room there's a column hiding stairs which leads outside. On one side of the cave there's a railway which is probably part of the same network as other structures found by the survivors and a big door which leads to the reactor room. When the General Bee fall in a hole in the ground it ends up here and later while Shack and Morph were trying to locate W4sted they blow up a catwalk where the Grey Suit was walking making it fall.

### Refinery room

The refinery room is big room where several refineries can be found. Part of it has collapsed.

### Canteen

The canteen is a room full of tables which leads the survivors to think that the structures was created for humans.

### Armory

In the base there's also a full armory which is near the canteen.

### Trap room

The trap room is a room where the drones attracted W4sted with a strange signal with the intent of crushing him using a mechanism with 2 pistons and still unknown purpose.

### Suit room

The suit room is a room found by W4sted which contained several black workers suits. The commander took one of them to replace his damaged suit.

### Storage room

The storage room is a simple room full of Dead Tech crates found by W4sted while escaping a big drone.

### Reactor room

The reactor room is a large room where a strange device generating energy can be found.

### Control room

In the control room there are a lot of consoles and screens. Here is where Shack and Morph accidentally activated Protocol Foxtrot while attempting to rescue W4sted.
Potato Hole

"Potato Hole" has multiple meanings in the Group Survival universe:

* It is often used in reference to Potatoes making a hole in a wall or structure with its drills, usually for the express purpose of getting through said wall, almost invariably Commander w4sted.
* "Potato hole" is also a Potatoes quote from Season 1 Episode 18, "Mistakes", after Potatoes puts a round into the science lab from the Potato Cannon.
* In applying the first two definitions, the holes that Potatoes blasted in Morph's lab in that same episode could be considered Potato Holes.
* It may also refer to the special hangar door section in the Silo Base that allowed Potatoes to slip some sort of probe stalk out to investigate the visitor at that door. (This being a direct homage to a certain Star Wars movie.) or a hiding place dug in the base somewhere wear it goes when not needed or when it wants to escape work
* Potato Hole can refer to the combination of the potato and hole emojis in XPG Discord chat.
First Contact!

Shack lands the Ultralight on the lake, which results to be quite difficult because of the damages the plane sustained. He can't bring it in the hangar due to the "Tiny Ass Little Wheels" of the plane. Using hydrogen thrusters he manages to get the plane on the ramp. After repairing and upgrading the plane Shack gets in the base to review the footage of R-5's camera. While looking at the shittiest robot he has ever seen he sees a write on the side "ED 102". After understanding it's a reference from Robocop he realizes that the builder is commander W4sted. W4sted's alive and Shack modifies the plane with upgrades to the hydrogen system and a second seat (with no cockpit in front of the propeller). The Ultralight is ready so Shack calls R-5 and as is him to go to W4sted's base. The drone asks if they're assaulting the base but the captain answers that they are going to rescue him. After finally arriving to the Tundra Shack modifies R-5. When he finishes R-5 gets near the base. He has lights attached to his chassis. The drone begins to broadcasts Close Encounters but there's no reaction. It's time for plan B, Stayn' Alive from Bee Gees. W4sted gets on his rover and goes to Shack's position. Shack calls him and W4sted recognize him but R-5 knocks him out with his lights.
Settling In...

While Shack is sleeping W4sted goes on the roof and places a security camera pointing directly on the Shack's bed.

Later in the morning he continues to work on the runway for the Ultralight. Than shack arrives and he's very angry. After congratulating with the commander for the work on the runway, he starts to check the footage of the security camera. Then they talk about the resources problem and plan to attach some drills to R-5. Shack calls him and explains his idea. R-5 knows that the Captain don't know nothing about the systems of the drone so he runs away and goes behind W4sted who repaired him some time before and is more trusted about messing with its circuits. The captain is quite offended.

Later W4sted goes to the crash site of the Constitution bridge and calls R-5 to create the drill attachment. After filling the truck with parts he gets back to the base and talks with Shack about the new plane that they want to build. Then they talk about building an antenna to find other survivors. They decide to build it on one of the peaks around Shack Lake.

The next morning they get on the Ultralight and start their trip. They decide to build it on the "Middle Peak" , the middle peak of 3 mountains. When they arrive Shack leaves W4sted on the peak and gets back to base.

When the antenna is finally complete W4sted turns it on and immediately it receive a message from Doctor Morphologis. It happens suddenly and W4sted gets scared. He falls out of the platform. He's hanging from it. He calls for help. W4sted finally loss the grip and falls. But the captain has arrived and saves him with his new plane.
Survivors

The captain puts W4sted (Who is really heavy apparently) on the plane. The commander remains unconscious for the entire fly. However Shack talks to him during the travel. After landing he puts W4sted in his bed and waits for him to wake up.

Some hours later the commander wakes up. After some explanations Shack calls R-5 to meet W4sted and they're not really happy. The commander then asks how R-5 is still running and Shack is surprised that he needs energy. They then make a tour of the base including the plane and the truck. W4sted begin working on making a better ramp for the Ultralight. Suddenly R-5 arrives and he's without energy. He then falls like a rock. W4sted fixes the drone. When he's reactivated becomes really friendly with the commander. In the evening Shack is checking some airplane projects.
W4sted's base

### Appearances

Red Out, Isolation, Exhaustion & Paranoia, A New Purpose?, Realisation, ED 101 & Signs of Life, Danger Zone, Enemy at the Gates, Saving The Day, Introspection, First Contact, A Friend In Need

This base was built by commander W4sted in a tundra near the crash point of his escape pod.Th first room was built as home fro the commander and it contained a medical room and a console. The other room was built as a workshop where W4sted created the first version of Ed later it was used as refinery room. The rooms were connected by a catwalk/roof. The rover was park under the roof and connected with connector to it in order to recharge its batteries. The base had several solar panels, security cameras and 2 gatling turrets. Variuos batteries wer added later.

The base was abandoned when W4sted was "rescued" by the captain. Shack later comes back with the Warden to salvage some parts in order to build Morph's lab.

The Friendly Fire Incident was a accidental battle between CaptainShack and Commander W4stedspace.

## Prelude

CaptainShack and Morphologis spotted an escape pod on day 4 since the crash of the USS Constitution on Planet Bob. Morphologis ended up finding the pod in a day using an antenna station known as Alpha Outpost. CaptainShack however, due to his long distance from the pod, needed to create an aircraft, and decided to build an Ultralight to search for the escape pod in the hopes that he would find a survivor. Meanwhile, the Commander was getting more and more paranoid so he setup some defenses at his base, which consisted of 2 machine gun turrets and a mobile wheeled drone, which he called Ed. CaptainShack finished the aircraft and set out looking for the pod, and stumbled upon W4sted's frozen tundra. Shack spotted W4sted's base and got curious. He saw the structure and it started to shoot at him.

## The Battle

Shacks ultralight crashes near some trees out of firing range of the base. Shack starts to survey the damage, and radios R-5 to bring him some parts to fix the broken engine. R-5 approaches the crash while blasting "Saving the Day" at full volume. Meanwhile, W4sted sends Ed out for its first mission, to find and loot the "Enemy" plane. On the search, Ed bumps into R-5 and starts shooting. R-5 retreats behind some shrubs and starts to play the speech from the popular movie Independence Day. W4sted recognizes the speech and looks around for the robot, only to be rammed in the face by R-5. R-5 rendezvous with the Captain, and he manages to repair the Ultralight to bring it back to the early Base With A View.

## Aftermath

After the main battle, W4stedspace looks to salvaging Ed and using materials around the base to build a refinery to "get the hell out of here" He begins by tearing down Ed to build the refinery. He also starts work on a mining drone built out of the chassis frame of Ed, but he doesn't get far. Meanwhile, the Captain sets to work on upgrading the Ultralight and looking over footage. He finds out that all signs point to W4sted based off a Robocop reference. Without anything else to do, he and R-5 head back to the base.

## The Rescue

On a mining mission using his Rover, W4sted notices the Ultralight again flying over his base just doing nothing. He rushes back to the base and goes to check it out, going on top of his base to see. Meanwhile Shack is fitting the "Close Encounters" light module to R-5 to potentially communicate with W4sted. R-5 starts to approach his base and when it stops it starts to play the close encounters theme with many lights being synced with the song. With no luck with that Shack orders R-5 to play "Stayin Alive" by the BeeGees. W4sted has some curiosity and starts to approach the area where R-5 fell back to. When he gets there, he finds out its the Captain, but a few seconds later R-5 knocks him in the face.
