--This thread is based off of the survival / sandbox game known as Starbound. It came out this month and is a very fun game, I suggest you try it out--
After thousands of years, the Earth we had known crumbled. A creature was dwelling in the darkness and was slumbering for thousands of years. One day it showed itself and brought it's force upon the creatures inhabiting Earth. With human's evolved technology, they were forced to leave on their hyperspace airships and were scattered around the universe like dust. Now, the remaining humans are orbiting a planet without fuel on their ship. You must take what you have and search the planet that you are orbiting for resources to move on and survive. These planets are a lot different from Earth. They have creatures of our wildest imaginations and thousands of exotic plants. Every planet is different. The universe is at our fingertips. Will you try to find other humans to live with for company? Will you stay alone? What will you do?
-----------------------
In your own spaceship you have a chest but no fuel. You will start out in your ship and I will guide you on from there.

| Your spaceship slowly orbits the planet. From the glass you can see that the planet is flat and covered in grass. Your ship has absolutely no fuel at all. |

| I walk over to the captain. "Permission to look for some fuel down there, Captain." |

You are granted permission and given some supplies: A metal bucket for collecting liquids, a pickaxe for getting some forms of fuel, and a small bow with arrows for protection. |

| I collect my stuff and go to the transporter room. I stand in the pad. "Energize." |

| Your body's molecules rip apart and fall down to the planet and reform once you hit the ground. The land is flat, and in the distance you see a herd of moving creatures but they're hard to make out. |

| I keep my bow hidden, but I take out my pick-axe and start prospecting. |

| After breaking through the dirt, it is possible to see a vein of copper ore. |

| Beneath all the copper is a bunch of stone. Simple, boring old stone. |

| The ground beneath you cracks, and you fall into a cave. You land in a liquid which breaks your fall. |

| I start filling my bucket with it, happy with my results. I start mining the rock so I can rock climb. I start climbing, and mining, until I reach the top. |

| I grab my communicator. (What fuel do I need to have to run the ship?) |

(Coal is the main source of fuel although there are others sources.)
The communicator brings you to the captain of your ship. "Have you found anything?" |

(You mean copper, and I was going to reveal that the liquid was oil.)
You beam up to the ship and your captain happily approaches you. |

| I give the Captain the fuel. "Hope we can at least get to a place where nobody'll attack and has lots of fuel by night-shift." |

| The captain puts in all the coal and oil. One quarter of your tank is now filled up. You can go to nearby planets and solar systems now. |
