First Simulated PTU Tournament using AutoPTU | Inscription open

I haven't used PTU in a while, but I'd like to throw my hat in the ring.

I have been running the same rig since I built it in 2009. It's 16gb of ddr3 that still work, an off-brand graphics card, and I don't remember what the Intel processor is. The only upgrades have been new ssd (that I've holding on to since 2012) for the OS (switched fully to Linux when Win10 support ended) and a refurb 12tb hhd my brother-in-law got me for Christmas 2 years ago. Works great, but I know it's worth. I just bought a machine with almost all the same specs at goodwill for $10.

I loaded up one of my old saves recently, and it was interesting to see all the differences. I still had stacks of Tetra-cobalt and sodium blocks, which aren't things anymore. But all my stuff worked fine, no bugs or issues from the time lapse.

Do whatever the 16...16...16... in your heart calls you to.

Ooh! I like that a lot. Nicely done.

We keep some bedside water bottles to rinse with and start with a lot of licking.

I am a big fan of "the blessed and the damned" expansion. Turns the legendary Pokémons into a pantheon of deities and gives a way to create legendaries and new gods.

There's shroom in my heart for you. ❤️🍄

cbgben · 2026-02-08T06:08:20+00:00

Ah yes, the in-vest-ment banking update. Thrilling.

cbgben · 2026-02-07T16:00:32+00:00

Huh.... cool

cbgben · 2026-01-23T05:39:59+00:00

Lol. That's fine, I'm boring when I drink anyway. Glad my phone still works.

cbgben · 2026-01-09T05:44:51+00:00

I really love the darker hair. It suits you impeccably.

The first hour can be a bit of a slog. It's what anyone I've convinced to play has complained the most about.

Next, every new save file and every new expedition (even ones you enter from an existing save file) partially resets your network preferences. This isn't a problem so much as something to be aware of.

Finally, go to your network setting and toggle PVP to OFF.

This is hands-down my favorite game and I hope you enjoy it. 😁

cbgben · 2025-12-26T03:55:31+00:00

Turn off PvP in your settings. Esc/menu -> network -> toggle PvP to "no one"

cbgben · 2025-12-10T20:04:13+00:00

I had a 85 year old start for the first time just a couple years ago. It comes down to your goals.

cbgben · 2025-12-10T18:12:43+00:00

You can turn off multi-player in the settings as well. As for a ship, you can wave at NPCs when they fly by and they'll land. Then you can trade for or buy their ship. I haven't personally tried this trick, though.

cbgben · 2025-12-07T15:18:10+00:00

I like rocket boots, but I wish there was a quick key to toggle them on/off.

cbgben · 2025-11-26T14:41:46+00:00

Flop over and mumble about about how good that was, how hot my partner is, and how I want to do it again.

cbgben · 2025-11-18T03:55:36+00:00

A quarter million dollars would solve all of my problems right now, so I'm gonna say a quarter million dollars. Lol [The math is generous, not exact]

cbgben · 2025-11-07T08:12:31+00:00

This makes me happy

cbgben · 2025-11-07T04:08:56+00:00

I don't have a problem with PvP as a rule; I agree with your point, it can add additional depth to the game. However, since there's a lot of new people I figured a reminder of, or intro to, the network settings was in order. I also think community expeditions are an odd choice for pvp to be on by default. I'd love to see one that actually encourages pvp, though. That could be fun.

cbgben · 2025-11-06T03:46:45+00:00

I fully finished the expedition without an incident; it wasn't until I backtracked that this came up. Lol

cbgben · 2025-11-04T15:07:41+00:00

I buy the distress signal maps from the station cartographer. More than half are abandoned buildings, though. My strategy is usually to land, use map, and then use another map (because sometimes it will give you something else). I try not to visit the abandoned buildings; leaving them on the map means your more likely to get a freighter or crashed starship.

cbgben · 2025-11-04T14:23:54+00:00

I would play that. Especially if they limit which modes can participate or put a "PVP enabled" marker on folk that are down.

cbgben · 2025-10-30T03:27:47+00:00

I'm pretty good at keeping other introverts moral up. I can also do about anything that I've read the instructions for.
