Steambot detailed his story on Reddit and to IGN, as well as captured the final hour of his trip as he returned to his ship and launched into space."After it was done I was relieved that I could finally do something else but also a little sad that it was over. I will remember this experience fondly," Steambot told IGN about the experience, the end of which you can watch below:Steambot doesn't have an exact idea of how much time he spent on the trip but estimates that, in total, he walked for 40-45 hours over the course of two weeks of play. Playing on PS4, Steambot said the planet, Dudenbeaumodeme, has been recreated on PC servers by players watching along with his progress."I'm going to deeply miss Dudenbeaumodeme, but I never want to see it again. It was my home. It was my prison. It was my destiny," Steambot wrote in his Reddit post announcing the completion of the journey.The second half of the journey was much easier according to Steambot, explaining to IGN that at that point because the trip became about returning to rather than running away from the ship, so "it was a huge morale boost that helped me power through."And as for Steambot's biggest recommendation after the experience for those looking to do the same? Maybe try walking around a moon rather than a full planet.
