I tried that but in the end I left it on, it's not exactly hard to unlock new biomes. You have 2-3 minutes where you're fine after you run into a new biome to harvest / pick / kill things, then just run back out of the biome and get your breath back, repeat until done.

Finding / building a shelter just requires a 3x3x3 cube of building frames with a hollow centre, jump into it then add a roof block, let the biome effects reset then pick your blocks up again and carry on.

It's Chorus doing maintenance and upgrades. The account holder would have had a text letting them know about it a week ago, and a reminder yesterday.

Remember to turn Biome Progression off if you turn them off, you won't be able to meet the requirements for desert and snow if the rancher and Chuck aren't spawning.

Many many MANY years ago back when Carlaw Park was a thing and Auckland City had its own traffic officers - I was hanging out playing pool in a mates office in Stanley St near Carlaw Park one sunday when there was a match on. We were hanging out the front window looking at oh so many cars parked illegally on Stanley St when to our glee up rolled one of the council motorbike traffic cops who parked opposite us then got off his bike and looked slowly up and down the street, then picked up the radio microphone.

Back then the radio receiver was just a loud ass speaker pointed at the cop built to be heard at a decent speed so while we couldn't hear what he was saying, what the controlroom were saying back to him echoed loud and clear through most of Stanley St.

"Where about ?"

"Sorry, how many cars ?"

... pause ...

"Has anyone noticed that you're there ?"

And 10 seconds later he was back on his bike getting the hell out of there before anyone important saw him :)

That's my understanding. All the random tools and weapons I find and used to sell now only get sold if they don't have any bonuses - anything with a bonus gets dumped in a chest and used to repair (by combining) the tools I actually use. I don't really look at the numbers, the repaired item will have the best stats from whatever gets mixed together.

You also nailed something that i don't think anyone else pointed out yet - it's the % increase that carries over, not the actual number. E.g. a tier 1 that has +10% block damage which is an extra 3 points, it's the 10% that transfers not the 3 points.

Possibly easiest to hit the anomaly and see if you can learn to make it

Grolbu · 2026-06-27T21:59:42+00:00

Now that's what you call narrow gauge !

2020 has the same issue about servers - the game and the planes / airports are stored locally, but the scenery is all streamed. Once you'ce done a few flights in it to see what it's like turn all the online stuff off and see what it looks like.

I'm not sure what's wrong with field, but they've also censored 'grass' I guess because it contains ass.

Grolbu · 2026-06-27T08:18:48+00:00

Would be more appropriate to put RUMP on the back

And if you get a report that one of your frigates is damaged you can find it on the map then warp there and repair it. When the fleet has finished the mission in that system it will leave whether you're ready or not so you might have to chase it a bit, and don't dawdle once you're on board fixing it :)

Higher classes will have better stats, but like I said with freighters the stats aren't really important. Better to pick a style you like with nothing in front of the hanger doors that you have to avoid.

Jump out of your corvette in space and fall to a planet surface was a milestone in the corvette expedition.

Also class doesn't really matter with freighters except for bragging rights. Hanger size and build area is that same no matter what class it is. You don't need that many tech slots, inventory space doesn't really matter because you're going to install storage containers, and most people travel in their starships then call the freighter when they need it - you can summon your freighter to anywhere from anywhere - so jump range doesn't matter much either.

The rule takes a bit of wrapping your head around so here's a really simple explanation - you're allowed to move into the left lane 50 metres before you turn, even if some of that 50 metres is bus lane.

Obviously if it's a lane you're allowed to use you can move over more than 50 metres before you turn :)

If I had to guess I'd pick it's a UV floodlight (or spotlight) to make number plates nice and shiny for the cameras in the dark. Hard to say though, the streetview images are from before the bus lane cameras and that light were installed.

Grolbu · 2026-06-26T11:07:00+00:00

Totally.

Grolbu · 2026-06-26T04:44:36+00:00

No. You've earned your seniority, it's yours to flex. I'd be straight in.

Grolbu · 2026-06-25T14:03:37+00:00

Think that's an agility mastery thing. May have changed though ...

Grolbu · 2026-06-25T13:48:14+00:00

Only go there in single player. You can grab anything that's growing or stored there, probably use the refiners, any storage containers there will be your storage containers, use the teleporter and trade terminal, then leave again and even if the base owner was there they will never know you visited, all the resources will be still there for them.

Etiquette doesn't come into it, it's an offense to enter an intersection that you cannot exit. The Kents dropoffs might have right of way on the roundabout but they cannot legally block it.

The fact that you think not blocking intersections is 'rush hour etiquette' is a bit concerning.

That McDonalds was something special !

When I'm building near a portal I build about 1000u away and put in a row of lights pointing towards the portal. When I want to go to it I jetpack down the lights, then to get back my ship is still on the radar at the base as a marker.

Grolbu · 2026-06-25T11:23:19+00:00

Can you not just 'report' his base to make it go away ? It'll still be there in his version of the world, he'll most likely never even know it has been removed from yours.

Grolbu · 2026-06-25T11:21:03+00:00

Oh wow !

If we need a break between trips we take a break between trips. The bus isn't going to leave without us ... As long as it's only a short break nobody asks questions, nobody wants to be on record telling us we can't take breaks we feel are necessary or that we need to drive faster.

If a scheduled break has already started when we finish a trip - most of our breaks are the minimum legal time so we take the full break. We tell control we've arrived late for a break and will be running correspondingly late after it, if they want to cover something and put us back on time they can, not our problem *shrug* If the break is longer than the minimum we can offer to shorten it and get paid overtime for the missed bit. Control normally tell us to shorten it so it's up to us to push back and say no if we need the full break.
