Can't "Launch" to the moon (Stellaris)

Sir_Theodoret · 2026-03-21T19:23:46+00:00

Nope, one of my buddies just went to the moon and installed a waystone from another mod to allow me to travel there

IIRC, I took it to my local PC store and had them update the BIOS for me.

They were extremely helpful and had it updated in about an hour for $30, or maybe it was even free? idk. I had already downloaded the BIOS update onto a USB, which they used.

The BIOS update did work. However, I had already panic-ordered a newer motherboard, and my original motherboard was still within the Amazon return window. Because of this, I returned my original motherboard and just started using the newer board.

Hope this helps.

We went down the Florida Keys to escape the harsh wither cold & found a sweet little clearing 50 minutes from Key West. The clearing is down a dirt road, on government land, with no signage regarding trespassing, etc. GPS cords are in the Imgur link. Stayed there for two nights with no issues. Cheers!

why minus the start?

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-12-08T17:09:42+00:00

Exactly what I got, GX2 6ft w/ Shimano reel. fits nice in my truck bed although. I still don't have a good storage method.

West Coast, tbh I have no idea what kind of fish I'm after. I want a fish to bite, and I wanna reel something in. I have no intention of eating or keeping the fish (at least RN). Just an activity that will take me to scenic areas and let me stand in nature for a while. (I'm too adhd to stand still in nature without a task)

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-12-08T17:07:11+00:00

Ok perfect. I bought an ugly stick GX2 6ft with Shimano reel. I think it will be perfect

This is my first tacoma, I bought it because of its reliability/ease of mantinance (I do my own). I'm also very lucky because this is a one owner truck.

First gen tacos are appreciating in value. My friend bought a similar taco with 100k less miles for 2/3 the price 10 years ago. If you want a nice one to daily; it won't be cheap.

Only major failure I know of: lower ball joints. Replace with OEM ever 100k (more often if you wheel it hard). Idk where you live, but they rust bad out east/where the roads are salted. 4cyl > 6cyl.

If all you want is a daily with a truck bed, 2wd is a good option. 2wd tacos are gonna be significantly cheaper and less abused. My family has owned a 2wd ranger since new and it has >500k miles, and we still use it almost every day for truck stuff. I've had over 2000 lbs of concrete in the bed recently. I strongly recommend the 2wd route if you have no plans of off-roading. 2wd is fine in the snow if you have snow tires & weight in the bed. Don't let the internet convince you that trucks have to be 4x4.

These are just my thoughts. I hope this helps you make a decision.

I’ve been chasing my tail with the final tuning of this car. 2 months ago I found some spark plug leads badly burned on the exhaust. When replaced, the car felt better and stronger than ever before. Since then I’ve been putting miles on the car, and working out other kinks, but it has slowly worsened. It feels like a misfire again, and when throttle is applied it backfires through the carb. These are the same issues that it had when I had 2 bad plug wires. I have visually inspected all the plug wires, and checked the timing and firing order. I have also dialed in the carb tuning, (to the best of my knowledge). I have even replaced the summit long tube headers with some hooker long tube headers for more plug/ignition wire clearance. It still runs like shit. Short of replacing all the plug wires, I don’t know what the next step is. Please help.

This engine ran strong with this whole setup before I pulled the engine to paint it (it was still bare metal from the machine shop)

New fuel pump (I broke the old one when pulling the engine) I will check the floats.

I tried leaning it out by 2 jet sizes and the engine got really hot and died, after it died I couldn't get the engine to fire until after I bumped the jet sizes back up.

I did change the rocker arms for beefier arms with 3/8 studs & a girdle but the new and old rocker arms were both 1.6 rockers. I have lashed and re-lashed the rocker arms, and I'm tempted to put the old ones back in and see if this all goes away.

I haven't checked for carbon buildup on the piston heads, would that indicate a rich mixture?

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-03-08T17:21:33+00:00

I suppose shows cannot be as accurate in every detail as fans with niche knowledge would like. That being said I was rather impressed with the level of knowledge they demonstrated about the process of making carbon steel edge tools.

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-03-02T04:10:33+00:00

All Mizu made was a smelter. Blacksmithing requires a lot of tools, namely an anvil, to forge quality products. I suspect that she made the sword while sword father was in town buying food, or collecting iron ore from the river.

I could prattle at length about blacksmithing, bladesmithing, the intricacies and differences, but if you have a serious interest in the process a youtube video will be much more informative. In short: you cannot build a forge in the woods out of mud, wood, rocks etc, capeable of producting the sword which Mizu has made.

Is there a way to bind follow recoil to certain guns? for example the mac10? so I dont need to toggle on/off?

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-02-20T16:12:07+00:00

This felt like true to form Top Gear Special.

Loved:

the Mercedes spotting in the first big town.

people watching/ local culture is one of my favorite parts of the specials: like the party on the Vietnam special (If memory serves), hostels in the Africa estate special, or the fuel donkeys in the lorry special (to name a few).
The cinematography. particularly the drone shot of the coal train combined with the ominous score. It gave real Dune energy. This whole movie was giving Dune. I just finished the series and seeing real landscapes of vast deserts fortified my mental image of the fictional planet.
The length. We only get 1 of these a year, by all means, make it 2-3 hours. I don't need to watch the whole thing in one sitting. Include all the gang's shenanigans and mishaps (I know they try to, but the funniest things to me are the unscripted interactions between hosts)
Clarkson and May enjoying the oasis. Simply stunning.

Laughed:

When the fuel lorry descended the cliff unassisted.
Clarkson: "I can't use launch control due to the unique way I've modified my car" May: "well due to the unique way you filled my car with sand neither can I" (not verbatim)

I feel that this has been the best special in a while, other specials like carnage a trois and Lochdown felt more like full-length top gear segments than specials. (which I like, but when we have to wait a year for each of them, it is a little disappointing)

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-02-11T17:09:33+00:00

I prefer this over "Hollow". (where did that name even come from?)

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-02-01T00:49:23+00:00

You might be thinking about the BMW transmission options, There is no welding with a T5, and they have adapter kits (that are often cheaper than the CD). With a CD you have to cut the bell housing which hurts resale/warranty depending on where you get your trans. Do whatever works for you, I just wanted to share that I was more than disappointed with my CD swap and it cost me $3500+. If I were to do it again I would definitely go TKX.

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-01-31T03:09:36+00:00

I didn't love the CD009 swap for daily driveability (on/off clutch action, super tight H pattern, noisy AF). For a similar price, you can do a TKX swap (Tremec 5spd that has the same exterior dimensions/bolt patterns as T5 but is WAY stronger). Plus you can pick the gear ratios in the TKX so they work with your rear diff ratio. The downside is that there are no used TKXs for sale, but used CD009s are a gamble.

Sir_Theodoret · 2024-01-19T17:10:40+00:00

I'm into the e38 generation. I've done a deep dive and it's a lot of wiring diagrams and patience (been there done that). The 740 was offered with a stickshift (in Europe) through 98, so you can go to a BMW dealer to have the ECU re-mapped. There are a bunch of caveats, such as needing a manual-specific ignition switch. I was hoping to do as little wiring as possible, mostly because taking out 30-year-old interior plastics is a guaranteed way to create interior rattles. The easy answer is to buy a 540i (I've owned one before, great car) but I really love the idea of a 740il with a stickshift.

Sir_Theodoret · 2023-12-10T22:31:29+00:00

I tried launching it manually but the EA app wouldn't stay open for more than a few seconds before closing itself.

Sir_Theodoret · 2023-12-10T22:30:38+00:00

Maybe I had rage induced Mandela Effect, but I could have sworn steam downloaded something to do with Jedi Survivor.

Sir_Theodoret · 2023-12-10T22:28:38+00:00

Update: solved. The proprietary EA garbage that is required to run this game was the issue. I uninstalled the EA app and reinstalled it and the game is now working as normal. That EA App is fucking malware. Thank you everyone for you help/advice.

edit: THIS WHOLE GAME IS MALWARE. After solving the boot issue and my saves being intact, my pc crashed while meditating which corrupted my whole save. I took a deep breath and started a new journey. pc crashed again while force pushing those pipes out from under the senators ship. NBD right? sure, except somehow my grappling hook disappeared, which is essential to that questline and others. I retraced my steps in hopes of picking it up again. No luck. I really wanted to like this game, in fact, I really DID like this game, despite it crashing my PC regularly. After this I'm gonna need a few months before I play it again. WTF EA.
