Will there be any other additions to this?
Not from me. It gets boring after this: Just a load of hardship, cameradery in adversity, exploration, character-building, conflict, tragedy & drama against the backdrop of the persistent human struggle against overwhelming challenges.
Not the kind of thing that good stories are made of, really.
I see it more as an excercise in "what would
I
do in his shoes? What stuff would I bring if that alien landed in my garden right now? How would I manage those resources on an alien world?" I think a 4X game would make a better sequel than anything I could ever write.
If anyone else wants to write a follow up though, I'd be eager to read it.
