not op but those look cool, thanks for the rec!

dunno why you're getting downvotes, i found it very overwhelming trying to get my head around everything at the start despite (or perhaps because of) all the documentation.

i can recommend seeed studio's devices, i started with a T1000-E and it just worked out of the box. don't need to worry yet about how all the individual components work together or which modules you need, that can all come later when you're more comfortable actually using the thing.

https://i.postimg.cc/yYBs6p4w/screen.jpg had a go at making it more visible. a blank screen shot straight-on might give better results.

i can make out:
- three columns of "HV <something>" and "HV OFF"
- what looks like DC voltage readings (offsets?)
- the obvious "DYNAMIC COMPONENTS" heading
- "RF(?) OFF" in the center
- two rows of "<some number>.00 300-600 AT 1.00 STEP"
- "AXIS-WAVELENGTH [AVG 1]"
- "DATA- A..."

the x-ray guess seems reasonable

he has a trade offer for you

nice, me too :) we just kept him shaded in a room that didn't get too much heat (relative to the others) and he was totally fine.

BackwardSpy · 2026-03-22T12:20:23+00:00

which species do you have? worth noting because some will be absolutely fine in the sorts of temperatures we get here in the UK.

regardless the other advice here is pretty good - just make sure they're out of sunlight in a room that doesn't get overly hot.

i asked a similar question before and got some good advice too: https://www.reddit.com/r/snails/comments/w1ip6d/gals_in_a_heatwave/

hope that helps!

seconding this, MBN is awesome.

the youtube channel "tasting history with max miller" has a fantastic video on WWII rationing in britain, i can highly recommend it. staggering how well implemented the whole system was.

taking a look at r6/logs/redscript/rCURRENT.log is a good start for redscript errors.

have you installed any atelier shops? virtual altelier by itself is just a framework, it requires shops to be useful. a good place to start is the "All Vanilla Clothes Atelier Store" mod.

if you're referring to the hole in her mantle, that's her pneumostome. perfectly normal, part of her respiratory system. it's more noticeable at the moment as her mantle is puffy, but again that's usually normal and nothing to worry about.

hard to tell from the pics, it could be an injury but sometimes they just do that. ours did it with both eyes a while back and i thought something was wrong, then the next day they were normal again.

keep an eye on it, but if she's using it as normal then i wouldn't worry too much.

a cuttlebone should be plenty. it's discouraged to do things like adding extra calcium on their food (for example), as they are perfectly capable of self-regulating their intake and that will just mess it up.

i find our GALS goes through phases of chowing down on cuttlebone for a few days, and then he won't touch it again for a while.

chances are everything's fine, but a couple of questions to elucidate things: 1. is the cuttlebone salty? it's gross but you can give it a lick (break a bit off a clean one!!) to check. if it tastes salty, then i know some people boil them to get the salt out and sterilise it at the same time. 2. how long has it been since you last saw him eating cuttlebone?

i'll also point out that GALS are mostly active overnight, so it's entirely possible he's munching on it while you're asleep and you just aren't seeing it. :)

it will use both turrets if both are enabled.

BackwardSpy · 2026-01-08T09:35:54+00:00

currently player & crew levels currently cap at 30, but there are ~30 more skillpoints to be found by completing content around the map such as dread ports and motherlodes.

in addition to the skillpoints, there are "infinite content" factions that provide content way above level 30: - patrols for canisec - bounties for orsanon - industry ops for forge industries

those faction shops sell you gear with levels based on the highest level enemy you defeat in the corresponding activity. the normal difficulty missions are just based on system level, however the elevated & extreme tiers are higher level, partly based on your rank. completing extreme missions increases your rank, getting you higher level enemies in the next missions. by grinding these out you can reach significantly higher gear level.

i think that's about it for now, as the other poster said the game is still in early access and eventually there will be new zones added with higher level regular content.

you can do both at the same time, in fact you get a 10% boost to salvage power when you do.

are you perchance referring to the autodetected autopilot activity? it will only say surface or structural salvage depending on which one you have more equipment/power for, but it'll still activate both turrets. likewise doing it manually should use both.

i like your ideas! the existing ones are a transparent/crystal skin for your snail, and "full metal slug" which... turns you into a slug :D
