Another few days had passed and the by now massive Tunneler Seed had reached it's goal. Upon the end of the constant application of energy to keep one of the hardest to grow plants in the Multiverse alive and thriving in the hostile climate, the hollow plant soon died, it's fibers hardening into a rock-like consistency.

While the water wouldn't rise by itself, the first step to getting a functional water supply had been finished at least.

With the addition of twenty-three more workers, finishing their shelter had soon become done too.

Most of the base work being done by this point, and currently lacking the need for more manpower working on making the well more user friendly, some of them decided to work on setting up something resembling a somewhat functioning ecosystem on their little corner of this new world. A diverse variety of plants began to spring up pretty much everywhere in and near the settlement, although carefully managed to get the most out of what seeds they had on them.

Of course, despite their prowess in that area, it was a system that would collapse if unaided by the Rheneya's innate energies. Maybe though, over the course of multiple millennia, and much work, native fauna might be drawn here. If they also were able to get more water to the surface of the world -instead of far beneath it, hidden under layers of sand and rock-, then maybe... Just maybe... they could make something lasting.

But at the moment, this was just a distant dream. A possible future for a world that most would have deemed dead a long time before the Rheneya ever set foot here.
