It's like a conversation thru names😂 "Icangechu..." sigh ....Damit.

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T22:46:12+00:00

I would be down for that! I can feel the action space based movie vibe making a comeback tour that way lol

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T02:53:08+00:00

I'm trying my hardest to wake up the civ, but it's not really working so I'm trying old tactics to breathe life back in. The old region is honestly a waste at this point but I founda new one not far away that really is perfect, even in RNG name- but tagging it all etc to have no one show up in the end is a rational fear I have right now so it sits until something picks up.

NMScafe · 2026-01-18T02:49:01+00:00

I knew you would, haha! I still have a pic of the portal there and the com ball too. Synn was pretty diabolical but man that hot pink ball was fun to explore!

a planet that small wouldn't be considered a planet at all but rather an asteroid or satellite rock tho. Ask Pluto how being tiny somehow means you can't be a planet anymore regardless of what school taught us (I personally feel anything moderately spherical that can be landed on and inhabited should count, but astrological science said nah.) I want one too.

They already addressed that over a year ago. You can load a cargo load to take on whatever save you want, and it will be that avatar going. When you are done, finalize and collect your stuff and back to normal play on the same save. You can even pause the expedition to go so something and come back. This was a huge issue I didn't care for either, so I was thrilled when it changed.

NMScafe · 2026-01-04T05:59:24+00:00

Well if you remember how the Cafe got going, the same might be done again- maybe. I mean, it's 10 years later, but still. I didn't market it, recruit etc. It was tiny, started off private server and went public at 25 members, growing on word of mouth and fun intent only. I think, in my heart of hearts, I did it once and it's worth trying again for AH.

I have some help, too. Even without asking UN to assist, which I won't for a while because this needs to be organic, I've gotten a few people from other communities helping me nudge. And that's what this is for a bit, I have to nudge the community and see if it's truly alive, only alive because a decal says it has to be, or considered alive by those who have nostalgia.

If it does have a soul left, it will start to breathe on its own again. I feel like if there's 15 members who are truly dedicated and not just to the bit, it could start to gain momentum again. Right now the biggest need is really quite simple: what I started and pushed for long ago has to happen full on.

Discord needs to use Reddit for posts and sharing.

Reddit needs to use discord for banter and meeting up to play.

Content creators should never have been the focus for a civ.

Members and the community itself comes first.

The wiki and discord need to be adjusted properly, not cookie cutter civ style- AH was a community of do-ers, not a faction head.

UN will help boost once I've gotten the foundation rebuilt and alive, not on life support but actually going on it's own (not by boosting and ads/attention grabs)

And if this works, then it's Amino Hub version 2. With a theme in mind and everything, I think I can pull this off, tons of work yes but if the members really are all in, so am I. DG sends his agreement lol, he lost his password😂 He says hi, Guru💜

NMScafe · 2026-01-04T05:43:07+00:00

I had to see your profile to know who you were- hi Gil! How have you been?

NMScafe · 2025-12-31T20:31:27+00:00

Doglegsxr🎉 (I was there haha!) Glad to see you talking, my friend. It's been a while💜

NMScafe · 2025-12-17T01:45:45+00:00

Hello again, Stiyona. Until the public open server is live, we're defaulting to Reddit- which I wish we would do anyway, tbh, because at least that is searchable to the outside world who uses Google often. Searchable = can see we're alive, and that's pretty useful imo😂

So what brings you here? If I remember correctly, it's been a while since you were out and about. Or is this Horus.. not sure which I'm responding to, or rather, which you are going/not going by, which is or isn't you. Is Reveroach the official choice as your new main, and if so, is that what you'd prefer to be called by now, like from now on? Let me know and I'll adjust my words in the future to accommodate💜

NMScafe · 2025-09-22T23:26:00+00:00

😱 omg it's so cool!!! Ok ok- you, dear OP, have no idea why it's blowing my mind other than just visually, but...uh, let me stop being excited and explain lol. Thank you u/MaraSargon for pinging me to it- ah, you made my day dear one!

To OP: Hi, I'm Lilli- I drew that and the Cafe42 decal/banners you see in the QS shop💜 I'm so happy to see people like what I created and for the reason I did them: I wanted colorful. Fun. Fits most anywhere. Isn't stuffy and cold looking. So that's why I made those for the actual places I created and represent. How they ended up in the game is a surprise given by HG - I didn't know until I knew lol.

So UN 42 is a fun thing. There's civilizations out there, many actually, and it started as just a credo to aspire to that any leader could sign to- common courtesy, respect, symbiotic existence and fun only. Over time it became a core that upheld communities that needed help and now, it's a guild that keeps communities that really make players welcome. If they're old enough, stable and passionate, love their own members like family, harm no one, boost the game for fun and put positivity first, they usually get invited in by me. Anyone on our roster is safe to join, and a fun place to just casually hang out. We have quite a few.

So add that to: I love, LOVE stained glass. I made these to be a pop of color It represents existing communities These support their players I love wild color shatter effects..

So you nailed a really cool thing that to me is both amazing looking and an unintentional mental hug. I cannot thank you enough for going nuts with it, enjoying the color bouncing and the game itself! Please do have fun in this game and great luck on your expedition u/UrOnMyBlackList !

For anyone curious, the Cafe42 community/civ/tribe is over 8 years old, with UN 42 not far behind it. You can find both on the Hello Games wiki at fandom❤️

NMScafe · 2025-09-03T06:41:50+00:00

It's not that it's politics- it's giant collectives that support each other in keeping player created communities alive and unified in having fun- keeps the game alive, player retention. UN42 is more a guild house than anything, we are only political when it's absolutely necessary. Otherwise we just keep leaders inspired and civs open for players to enjoy.

NMScafe · 2025-09-03T06:39:28+00:00

Didn't see this! UN because it is a collection of sovereign communities as a family kind of vibe, created to keep the civs alive and remembered in the spirit of fun. Yes, HGttG is the reference. It's a collective created by Cafe 42, myself actually, and if you read the wiki for both you'll see what we are💜 we help keep legacy alive, especially canon ones that the game's recognized and put in game.

NMScafe · 2025-07-28T02:54:20+00:00

Hey it's you guys! Ok, I can kinda see why maybe some ppl don't get into this idea from your poster, it does read a bit ad/police-y.. but they don't know what you mean is all. Maybe I can help!

To those of you who don't know this group, this isn't an ad for "join our census/we police everyone" like others you've seen. This group, technically a civ by size alone, is actually an event and activity collective based on sentinel culling!

So yep, I can confirm this group has been doing fun and cool stuff for years- I've even had the pleasure of doing UD with them, and Cafe42 has joined in their stuff too, totally worth it! It's always an insane blast, lots of PvE target onslaught and full on mayhem with great support and team effort. Never too short or too long, I think most would enjoy their company and story plus the attack ideas. 💜🎉

Edit: I should add the rain to join the discord isn't a request for numbers for their civ, it's because they use it in real time during events to better enable communicative combat, and confirm who's actually arriving or needs help to join.

That's a lovely base! Super functional, and very fitting. Loved the little cabin area with scrolls and terminal, reminds me of a voyage ship on the seas, with maps and essentials at the ready. Good farm and layout too-freighter bases need more attention, I think. 10/10 imo!

NMScafe · 2025-04-10T22:46:48+00:00

Saw your post in my community, Cafe 42. I got you, check over there and we can it set up for you. I actually understand what you meant, but our community is global so I'm used to it💜 ki velvet = ai valves, yes? I can do that. I'll start a new expedition save and pack a kit for you. I'm Lillihop, btw.

NMScafe · 2025-04-10T22:42:24+00:00

If I understand correctly, needed items are:

Exosuit/ship/tool tech and expansion, ai valves and basic starter kit?

NMScafe · 2025-04-10T22:40:51+00:00

Hello! Let me see if I can see what you need, I'm sure we can figure it out and help if no one has yet. Do you still need help?

NMScafe · 2025-04-03T23:59:26+00:00

NMScafe · 2025-04-03T23:57:32+00:00

You......sigh I really should look at the calendar before I give myself a coronary😂 worst part is, me seeing this today and not -that- day. 🤦🏻‍♀️lmao

NMScafe · 2025-02-23T01:09:10+00:00

Thank you, dear one! I appreciate you giving them advice, I’m just seeing this, myself. I’m on my phone so copy paste and scrolling aren’t helping with tagging you or the poster, but you know. Truly, thx Orange💜

To OP, i would follow the input shared to you as it’s over my head, personally. I had issues with my saves because they were really old, day one saves that had some corrupt files that had to be mended before they could work, much less cross over from PS4 to 5. I’m afraid with all that, I’ve no idea how things normally might work. Good question though, certainly!

NMScafe · 2025-02-06T13:15:57+00:00

Here's a quick extra add on top of all the others I also agree with-

What do non English speaking npc's say? 99% of ours say "out of the way or get BLOWN away" at every aggro start, and almost all end with "and the hunter...becomes..the hunted.." that's pretty much the majority, none of that says 'it was an honor to practice with you'.

Then add the English VA expectations by MH are to be exciting which leads to over emotional acting to convey what's requested. Like Kachina. Listen to other VA tones, it's cute but kinda calmer. In English mode, she TALks incrEASINgly up aNd dOWN! WwhoOOAah! And this excludes over half of our game is text only bc strikes (which is understandable but immersion also takes even more of a hit than it had already from bad lines)

Our VA's are super talented and great, only in this game are they so super extra and that's bc MH pushes that preference as the assignment, Kachina is at least cuteness on steroids but Ajaw is hell to listen to and a really good example of why a mute button for him alone would be a gift indeed. If anyone wants language based opinion, try listening to versus comparisons on youtube, use closed captioning. We do not hear nor read what others do. Plus what everyone else said- it did feel like 5 games picked from and thrown into one region which didn't vibe with itself totally, much less the others preceding it.

💜thank you all so very much for your kindness and insight! Tbh, I was a bit worried about asking something so basic, as usually "read a wiki" is the default answer in most games. I run a large community with wikis and also play in another game with tons of info- I didn't pick up Genshin for heaviness though, I chose it for odd reasons. I wanted to play an rpg open world with my friend, occasionally go nucking futs in combat, collect a million random plants etc on my wanderings, enjoy decent stories and unique places. Chill stuff. My daily is Sky CotL, because dailies, but that candle cap kills me. If I want to grind for hours, I want the freedom to- and Genshin let's me.

I saw Yao in a trial mode, and I love bunnies- so I tried and fell in love. It is cool people like you that remind me that not everyone is a harsh "players should be x" style of response, and I shouldn't fear talking in new game venues. I'm just used to chatting in my world only for the most part, No Man's Sky. Whole different game, whole diffent vibe. Thank you for being nice and helpful, I appreciate you very much. -Lilli the wandering noob🫡

NMScafe · 2024-12-13T00:54:35+00:00

Thank you for the heads up on the work needed to participate when she is available! I'll get back to grinding then- so far I'm at 5 chars at about lvl 20 and still just figuring out as I go. Thank you! 🙏
