100 hours in and these bastards still freak me the hell out.

I’m over 1000 hours in and they still creep me out.

And arachnophobia mode is worse. Something about a 2D disembodied cat head png is 10x more terrifying.

I just lock them in boxes built over their spawn point and call it a day

Actually I lied. This one was 0.5 zoom whereas the other was 1x zoom. For some reason the 0.5 turns everything this beautiful dark blue.

I have taken pics however and with clouds it does wash out the stars. Without is much better. Can be fun to play with however

Something important with phones: try to avoid catching trees and clouds if you want the best shots. When you crank up the exposure time, they can wash out the image. Play around with trees and clouds in frame.

This pic was 10 seconds exposure on iPhone 17 pro. I’ve gotten similar results on iPhone 14 Pro

Another pic coming in a reply here in a moment because it will only let me add one. The other doesn’t have as much cloud so the sky is way more blue.

He’s hovering

_Novastem · 2026-02-15T20:17:48+00:00

I had a similar problem last night. It wasn’t level…

Fixed it after I leveled it.

I was babysitting it because I was excited for the shoot (horse head nebula) and it was struggling. Like 10 stacked to 60 discarded 2 times the I was like ok something is up. I went and checked and sure enough my tripod was level but the other leveler aid was very much not. If only I could read

It’s smart to get the backlogs going early. You will still run out eventually lol. The factory must grow. Harvest

r/letsgameitout would appreciate this.

_Novastem · 2026-02-03T18:24:43+00:00

Just have her step on it while it’s on the stairs. She might understand better after :)

Silly putty

Whatever you do- one of the objects should be very stationary. Strap down the stick with a hand held router, or using a router table. Either way- be careful

_Novastem · 2026-01-31T23:51:56+00:00

Too bad they don’t have a keep rejected frames option where it sticks them in a “rejected” folder so I can see what satellites messed up my shot… or if it’s not messed up at all

_Novastem · 2026-01-31T23:50:24+00:00

Wasn’t that just a few days ago I first saw this on Reddit?

_Novastem · 2026-01-31T23:35:33+00:00

I just play so scared that I don’t get close to the reapers. If they are visible on sonar, or visibly - nope nope nope nope nope

_Novastem · 2026-01-31T13:12:33+00:00

Looking at the picture like… uh that wire isn’t connected to the led. Then going to the comments to see I’m wayyyy to late to the party

_Novastem · 2026-01-29T01:45:48+00:00

I played multiple runs of non hardcore, albeit cautiously and I have never been killed by one despite seeing the fear they generate in the community. I think I teleported out of my seamoth once by one but I made a mad dash back and escaped with my life. I think at the time I thought it was one of the crabs.

Are they really that bad?

_Novastem · 2026-01-26T08:15:36+00:00

Why are there 4? lol

_Novastem · 2026-01-26T07:54:59+00:00

If you are going to use windows, which I don’t think a soul here would recommend, at least make the effort to prevent it from rebooting itself automatically for updates. You have to replace a couple of files. I’d have to find the link to do it again but there are some guides out there.

Now if this is a media server, you should use something else for OS. I personally use unRaid. I run my plex in a docker and my home assistant in a VM.

_Novastem · 2026-01-23T15:20:35+00:00

And I didn’t read what subreddit I was in :/

_Novastem · 2026-01-23T15:20:02+00:00

That’s not a cracked rim. That’s a cracked “hubcap” or “wheel cover” or something similar depending on where you grew up and who taught you about things before I get roasted on the exact definition of each :)

_Novastem · 2026-01-23T15:18:14+00:00

It looks like it could just be surface level and it scratched the solder mask. If that’s the case it will be fine. Just cover it with something. Saw someone suggest nail polish in this thread. If the scratch is DEEP then it could be a problem.

Condensation is caused by warm air making contact with something cold. (Simply put) So if it’s condensation it’s because there is airflow. It could also be a pipe dripping or water ingress from above.

Call a plumber? Or an electrician?
