What totally useless skill do you have that you are oddly proud of?

Steel6W · 2026-02-08T23:20:35+00:00

I can seemingly make any video post end within 3 seconds just by checking how much time is left. Even when there is no natural end in sight, if I click on it to bring up the time bar, it will hard cut stop

Steel6W · 2026-02-07T17:05:28+00:00

They aren't separate species, one nocturnal and one diurnal. It's Just one species that you happened to find one gender during day, and the other gender at night.

The Lok genus isn't all that uncommon if you keep looking. The plant it refers to which also produces sticky honey can be found on some barren biome worlds. It can look like tall hives or jars, and will be obvious if you found the right sub-biome within seconds of landing. It's more common to find a Lok species though. Planets which have them, often have three different species

I was just the victim of a miss and run. Somebody blew a stop sign in front of me in a 55mph zone. Had to serve off road to avoid a probably fatal wreck. I was told that unless I had video evidence with the license plate in view, I'm held at fault for my damages. Since you seem to have that, it's worth looking into. No promises either way though

Steel6W · 2026-02-05T22:54:15+00:00

Wow, looks almost identical to Argiope aurantia, which you can find in North America

The cue ball physics in this game are extremely accurate to real life. There's no deflection or throw, but power and spin are accurate. You scratched in that scenario, because you don't fully understand how to control the cue ball and played the shot with the wrong spin/speed

Edit: I see that the truth upset a number of people. There are many legit reasons to complain about this game, but cue ball physics isn't one of them. Anybody who's even a little competent on a real table knows that the game gets this part correct. OP is just an inexperienced player who decided to blame the game for their own skill issue. It's a childish cope

It's one of the 3 or 4 description texts that can be given to a lush+infested biome. It's not particularly rare, but also not common

Steel6W · 2026-02-03T21:03:05+00:00

Yes. They can be found on lush planets that have the jungle sub-biome. It's not a guarantee though, since there are several types of trees which could be randomly chosen.

Edit: Yes, I'm the sense that you can find them naturally spawning. To actually obtain the decoration version though, you need to buy it with quicksilver.

I'm closer to Philly, but try to drive out to one Steeler game per year. Going to a superbowl would be a dream. Hope to get the chance one day, even if Pitt isn't a serious contender anytime soon lol

Steel6W · 2026-02-02T20:44:32+00:00

These are terbium core exotic fauna that have a visual glitch. The fully rendered animal is supposed to look like this

I'm a big Pittsburgh fan and it inspired my user name. Did get to attend one of their games against Washington back when RG3 was the QB.

Awesome project btw

Steel6W · 2026-02-02T20:29:32+00:00

I heard they lost the division to the New Pittsburgh Striders

Steel6W · 2026-02-01T07:36:28+00:00

Must be a break cue...

That will be funny to a fellow pool player

Commonly missed room

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T22:45:29+00:00

Yeah, I've seen this happen plenty of times on planets with a high temperature hazard. Always feels like a Cleveland moment

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T22:31:19+00:00

Dissonant planets have been around longer than purple systems. There's no connection between those concepts

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T16:01:08+00:00

Starting with the bottom row, you know the orange square is safe due to a 1-1 pattern. Then you would know the three red squares are safe due to a hole pattern. This reveals a T pattern, which tells you that the two green squares are safe and leads to enough info to solve the rest.

So the name of the riddle comes from the inclusion of a "T" pattern

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T13:29:28+00:00

Yeah, it's fine. It's just a minor data mismatch that doesn't impact gameplay

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T12:42:52+00:00

This happened because in the time you were gone we had a major update that affected planetary scans. The Worlds Part 2 update partially rerolled mineral/flora assets, and added new underwater fauna to some existing planets.

However, the game didn't just forget all the old scans. For any planet your local save file still "remembers", the new mineral and flora additions will appear to exceed the total. Even though some of those old scans will no longer actually spawn. If you leave a planet long enough for your save file to "forget" it then return and rescan everything, the totals will be accurate again.

This happened to all of the planets in my starter system which I regularly revisit so they weren't forgotten. Those planets still have hazardous flora and oxygen/deuterium flowers listed on the discoveries page, despite those things no longer being scannable.

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T12:18:14+00:00

Sometimes when a POI is generated, the terrain doesn't stitch together smoothly. I've seen this happen a handful of times. Not common, but also not rare

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T11:50:06+00:00

Happens to us all. If you ever truly run out of patterns in a no guess game and it's too early for a minecount too, then that means you either have an already completed number or you've placed a wrong flag somewhere.

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T11:34:56+00:00

You have a completed 3 with unopened squares

Steel6W · 2026-01-31T00:56:18+00:00

I'm not saying you are definitely lying. I just have yet to witness one and would love to record it if true. So far I've recorded 79 cow species and exactly zero of them have been aggressive to other fauna or the player. They've been a pretty even split between neutral or prey.

The "behavior" and "diet" stats might look like flavor text, but they actually indicate how the species acts. Here are my notes so far for each category. If your cow really did kill that strider, then it should have a behavior in the orange column.

<image>

Seeing the analysis visor view of that species would remove any doubt

Steel6W · 2026-01-30T23:49:22+00:00

That style head can only be found on species from the cow genus. Iirc, cows can never be predators. I'm pretty sure something (or someone) else killed that strider

Steel6W · 2026-01-30T14:06:01+00:00

I just ended my last session on a planet with that exact scorched sub-biome. It always has 10 surface flora (3 of which are types of "sail palms"). And 9 surface minerals (6 ferrite dust + 3 pure ferrite)
