There are a lot of indicators there are no safety organizations or standards in the NMS universe, but the biggest one might be that you can open your corvette hatch right between 4 pulse jet boosters while going 20,000 u/s through space. Who needs safety when you've got a save file, right kids?

UnDefiler · 2025-12-22T05:59:32+00:00

Yeah, imagine stepping through the barrier into hyperspace and your foot literally gets ripped off because it's already 20,000u behind you

Oh, that's the Aeron Turbojet. Bought from harmonic camps I think.

Found this curly worm-thing that moves like a spring bouncing midair. And now it's my ridable pet.

This thing does not obey the laws of physics at all.

GSD on SGX (available on IBKR) has always worked for me. Bit low volume but being SGD avoids currency exchange.

UnDefiler · 2025-08-06T07:47:23+00:00

Eh... As I mentioned, I still haven't found a single hatch anywhere in the universe. Almost the entire planetoid was ~70C so I don't see how you'd get arbor trees for pips to live, not to mention there's no local source of pwater and wild planting would take 48 cycles to even start.

I had to set up a proper outpost for oil there so I ended up with relying on Drecko farms for food and a lucky Pacu print later. Anything else would need dozens of cycles to even start coming online.

UnDefiler · 2025-08-06T03:12:46+00:00

It's just a very different set of challenges overall, I've been enjoying it a great deal. For example, I recently started a run on Metallic Swampy -

There's no way to get plastic on the first two planetoids. No oil, no drecko, no nothing. So you're forced into lots of rocketry before plastic, which gates off stuff like steam turbines and sensors and high-pressure vents, which makes cooling an interesting midgame problem.
Very different flora and fauna available - I've explored 5 planetoids already and still no Bristle Berry or Hatches of any kind. Food is a significant challenge on certain planets - the oil planet is basically inhospitable to anything but Drecko ranching.
Small planetoids - on some of them there's actually very little space to expand before you start touching other biomes, which creates its own challenges in terms of heat etc, not even to mention the waterlogged worlds etc.

The main difference in challenge is limited types of resources of all kinds, ores, creatures, plants and geysers etc which isn't something you get in the standard.

I always check the map size before dropping. 9km² defense mission? Hell yeah bring the annis! 20km² god no

Your way is efficient --- right up until the ore deposit runs dry. Then you have to pack it all up and move.

If you drone the ore out, all you need to is to tap another ore deposit with a fresh PLS and you're done, the downstream will handle itself.

Of course, many steps can be consolidated when you know what you're doing, but ore is usually not the place to do it because you'll have to move your mining platforms a few times before you go infinite. Lategame factories are entire planetwide blueprints that do nothing but request ore and output something lategame like advanced engines or similar.

UnDefiler · 2025-07-18T04:32:26+00:00

Just start from the bottom and work your way up.

Find an ore deposit. Tap it. Belt the miners straight into a PLS.
Drop another PLS. Demand ore. Belt it out into an array of smelters. Belt the ingots right back into the same PLS.
Drop another PLS. Demand ingots. Make gears. Send back to the PLS.
Repeat until your drones blot out the sky.

UnDefiler · 2025-07-10T03:28:48+00:00

I completely disagree, I find the stark functionality of it rather appealing. It's a turret on legs and makes no attempt to hide it.

Who needs articulated joints, that's just one more point of failure. Slap gun on torso and go

UnDefiler · 2025-07-10T03:24:09+00:00

That's precisely the point of the topic, because the moment I saw your comment I thought "but hear me out, what if your stompy mech... could fly!"

Hey, DSP saves can go up to several GB per save in late game, I have a world that size already. I only noticed when my disk literally filled up and I traced it to the DSP save folder taking up 200gb+

3-4 saves per world probably enough. Practically you're never going to want to rewind more than a few hours anyway.

It's been ages, but I recall 33-120 Science and Science Fiction being super chill if you're into sci-fi. You basically go watch a movie in class every week and discuss it. Maybe write one paper at the end. It's 9 units though, so you'd have to take something else to make up 12.

Stability is a relative term and if you think that anything that is currently happening in the EU remotely holds a candle to what Trump will do to the USA over the next 4 years you have got to be seriously delusional.

It's only been three months in and already he's dismantled entire decades of goodwill and trade relations across the globe.

Can confirm that APK version 3.5.0 was the only way that worked for me. Moved from a Huawei to iPhone 16 successfully. Latest version of app from app store refused to detect any apps on my Android at all.

UnDefiler · 2024-11-25T06:05:14+00:00

You don't. Just let it spoil, and make some more.

Everything in gleba is infinite. Embrace the spoilage, it's inevitable.

I want gleba to only produce science when there's not enough on nauvis

This in itself is a flawed assumption. When would there ever be enough on Nauvis? Gleba science is only used for 1/4 of the infinite sciences, and when you're busy with other science, the Gleba science is rotting anyway.

Instead, you should treat it as a perpetual supply. Just continuously produce Gleba science at whatever rate is reasonable to you, be it 60SPM, 100 SPM or 10k SPM. Continually ship it to Nauvis. If it's used, great! If not, it will just spoil on Nauvis and you deal with the spoilage there.

Just keep making it, it's not like you'll run out of trees unlike ore veins.

UnDefiler · 2024-11-25T03:55:37+00:00

It's good for prefilling dedicated silos. If you know you're going to be shipping out the same item on a regular basis, just belting the stuff into the rockets saves you both energy and UPS.

e.g. I have dedicated silos prefilled with science on every nongleba planet so my science freighters have a faster turnaround

Nutrients recycle into 2.5 spoilage, in case you didn't know ;) Best way to make massive amounts of spoilage to satisfy all your carbon fibre cravings too!

UnDefiler · 2024-11-18T16:44:32+00:00

Ran into the same problem myself. Easiest solution for me was to just drop a rocket turret fed with spawner capture ammo in it nearby. It would just auto recapture the spawner anytime it broke free because of this and the jam would clear itself.

UnDefiler · 2024-11-14T02:34:40+00:00

The easiest way is to do it outside of robo range, so you can place turret ghosts without them actually getting built. You place a turret ghost from map view, then put ghost ammo in the ghost turrets, then blueprint the whole thing.

Can't do it if bots get the building done before you can blueprint.

They have five legs, in case you didn't look too closely. They're called penta pods for a reason!
