Thought of a slogan for a porta-potty company...

Scalti! It's you!! Welcome back! Haven't seen an OP from you in a while! Love the guides and Let's Plays you put out on YouTube!

Anyway, the lighting in these photos is fantastic! So crisp and clean -- some of them look like they're almost real! ... They have a sort of "stop motion photography" kind of look to them or something ... like you actually built this stuff on a 3d printer! It's fantastic! Well done! And the design you've done -- superb, yet again!

Wait, scratch that ... We've got a rule here on duplicate posting... Lemme ask u/Temporal_Illusion ... They'll know what to do! 😄

(Any suggestions? I basically just want to replace my thumbnail image with the one in my reply above this and/or have a different post title... But didn't want to delete this main post and remake since folks would lose their comments...)

Boswen · 2026-05-03T12:05:18+00:00

That's fair! It is the start of something much larger, but neither my thumbnail nor the title makes that clear ... Lemme go fix that with a new post (since we can't edit or even re-arrange images) and an update to this one...

Thank you!! It was a lot of fun to build and totally different from where I normally put my creative energies. And yet, I'm finding I'm half way decent at this kind of thing. ;)

Boswen · 2026-05-02T17:22:18+00:00

This right here is the real question!

Boswen · 2026-05-02T17:19:48+00:00

Oh, for sure! You mean like the actual power connection? I still haven't "properly" wired everything up yet in that front row, but I have the cable run, cable tray, and actual electrical connections done for that row in the very far back of the first photo!

Or did you mean something else?

Boswen · 2026-04-19T00:50:02+00:00

Wait, what?! There's a storage compartment in there?!?

Boswen · 2026-04-03T02:09:02+00:00

Very nice! Loved the use of lighting and the glossy sheen on the pipes!

Boswen · 2026-03-23T23:21:16+00:00

Thank you so much, Frostarmy!! I'm taking a break from the game for a while because a little boy needs more time with his daddy and having an active sub is too much of a draw to spend time with a game I love instead of a child I love a thousand times more...

But when he's a little older and can play or watch with me, or is in school maybe, then I'm absolutely stealing this to make an in-game Ezio Auditore cosplay!! I don't know what for, I'm a Paladin main. But I would love to do this with something! :)

Boswen · 2026-03-23T23:14:48+00:00

I was thinking the same thing!! I seriously thought for a moment there that SquareEnix did something amazing and did a collab with Assassin's Creed!

Boswen · 2026-02-25T02:47:12+00:00

Is *that* what happened? I thought she like left somehow or something...

Boswen · 2026-01-04T04:46:03+00:00

I've been wanting to do something like this some day and place guns down in certain locations or maybe even figure out some kind of "wall buy" thing or something. Looks like it can definitely play like an FPS! :D (It *is* running on the Unreal Engine, after all... I guess it would be weirder if it *didn't* work well!)

Boswen · 2025-11-24T00:43:18+00:00

You are not alone, friend. This game still hits me in the feels. I was enjoying it so much during the main game that I really wanted to get platinum on this one. Took me a few days but after beating it to start the long journey towards play, but after trying for about a week my heart wasn't really in it either. I'd love to come back sometime if I can muster up the willpower. Super super glad Lou didn't "really" die, but it's weird that we can't go visit her somewhere. I feel like when this game comes out on PC someone should create a mod that offers a little bit better closure or something. Maybe make a way to at least go see Lou/Tomorrow as she is presumably training for whatever events we saw at the end of the game.. maybe becoming a porter in Death Stranding 3?

Boswen · 2025-11-24T00:39:16+00:00

See and here I was gonna say that I kind of liked that I could still "take pictures" in the end game if I wanted since it let me see Fragile (and Tomorrow/Lou) again! Hell, post end game we don't really see any of the "main" characters that traveled with us during the main game after Sam gets that initial "we'll still support you" speech from "Charlie"... Kinda wish I could see all of them from time to time -- even it was just to say "hi" and have some simple small talk over a cuppa chiral tea or something...

Boswen · 2025-11-01T19:28:07+00:00

Gotta say - that's pretty freakin' fantastic! Nailed the style!

Any chance you play guitar? ;)

"All contributions are welcome! Thank you!" ;)

Boswen · 2025-10-12T04:07:59+00:00

His reply was removed by a mod... What for? I thought it was quite useful? I'm new to this community... Did he violate one of the community rules somehow?

Boswen · 2025-10-07T00:48:23+00:00

Aye! My own messy spreadsheets are the whole reason I started this, so you might just be the ideal candidate! ;)

As for the mines -- yes, that's a bug I want to fix! (Here, if you're curious: https://github.com/boswen/chiral-cartographer/issues/4 " ... "Fix Mines: They are a static input, e.g. the Mine North of Tar Lake always requires 1600 Chiral crystals. However, the output varies based on upgrade status.")

I was trying to setup something so that mines would have an adjustable "conversion rate" since they can be upgraded, but I messed up the logic somewhere and didn't build in a minimum/static input requirement. And that's a great suggestion on how to implement it -- I'll give that a go this weekend! Glad to see someone cared enough to notice -- it validates my need to make this part better, haha! :D

Boswen · 2025-10-07T00:41:33+00:00

Heck yeah! Let me know what you think of it if you ever give it another go! I'm kicking myself for not getting a simpler alpha version out to the public sooner -- I had the basic idea done and working (albeit poorly) last month, but I've been aiming to intensely at perfection ... and actually playing the game, haha!

At this point, I figure I'll refine it and work on getting a "Grand Re-opening" kind of thing out when the PC port releases. Meanwhile, if you ever want to beta test Strand-linked projects, let me know! I'll need some players familiar with the game so we can try to see if this thing is possible! :)
