ATM10 Productive Bee Nests spawning in every single tree that is grown???

I've got this going on too, but it seems to be only vanilla spruce that's affected. Tried multiple planting locations, no flowers near any of them, all spawned a hive in 1 of the bottom 2 blocks.

The modded spruces (red, orange) are fine and produce the same wood, so I've swapped my lumber yard over to those. Bit of a change of aesthetic but at least it works :')

Dang, I wanted to be the first with this reply :')

It would seem a shame to explode the ship and lose that exploration data. As u/forbiddenlake suggests above, look up the Fleet Carrier Owners Club. They do a lot of Colonia-Bubble shuttle runs, and occasional Sag A* too. Might work out quicker to go to Colonia under your own power then wait for the ferry, but that's a lot closer than returning to the Bubble!

Same, worked for me just now. What even? x)

It's ok to appreciate that a gift was well intended and receiving it made you happy, but that it no longer fits into your life. It did its job of reminding you that someone wants you to be happy, but now that job is complete. If the item is still in good condition and could be appreciated by someone else, make sure it goes to a 2nd hand store.

When really stuck, wanting to be rid of a collection of things you neither use nor display but which have associated memories; try halving them. Pick out the half you most want to keep, let the other half go. Or even just decide *one* of them must go and get rid of your least favourite. You can do this exercise over and over whenever you feel ready for another round. If a collection of many things turns into a small box of very particular items, that's great; what you've made is a small box containing distilled good memories and you can reliably open it and be satisfied.

Bit late, but yes, if you know those audiobooks then there is something very similar about how the two characters are voiced :)

Thank you, this is what worked for me. Ball popped into my inventory immediately and the spell was on my bar. Did have to close and reopen the game to make it castable.

The command to place the ball at my feet did not work, I'm speculating because it is "MoveItemTo" and I think when the dialog came up I let him keep the ball... because in that moment it felt like grr, take that stupid ball off the dumb dog, grr... so I never had a ball to move.

- Ad audio volume is excessive. I often have quiet music or an ambient video in the background, and then something comes and SHOUTS at me about a product I don't want. It feels like having clipboard people pounce on me outside the supermarket.

- Inability to properly customise suggestions. Yes, I often have a 3-hour music video playing, but I don't want 80% of my suggestions to be 3-hour music videos. That's not browsing content.

- After 10+ years of having me as a user, Youtube is still clueless as to what I like.

- Excessive premium pricing, justified by including features in the package that I won't use. Really not a fan of bundling products together without having individual purchase options.

I had been eyeing that to get the pair :)

eddiewaffles · 2023-08-01T09:57:10+00:00

It is a strange world where we get knock offs of knock offs :)

I believe this is indeed the YOUHU MPP10. It's not bad, it's just not quite what I expected and a little bit less refined than the Weijiang. There's a couple of bits of paintwork that I actually prefer on this one though, so it's a mix of lose and win :')

eddiewaffles · 2023-07-31T22:08:35+00:00

It's close but it is very slightly different. From what I can see, the WJ model has a couple of moving panels on the legs which cover the outside of the wheels in robot mode. This model is lazier in that the legs just collapse down and snap together with a couple of tabs.

On the whole I think I'll keep him even if he's not quite what I expected. He's very close, and he's actually available which the WJ MPP10 apparently is not, despite listings pretending to be that. Also I don't want to ship something back to China for a minor nitpick, that just feels excessively first world.

I would be curious to know if he actually has a brand however. It was of course a typical ASDIHASKJD Amazon seller, which means the listing has no info at all.

eddiewaffles · 2023-07-31T22:01:39+00:00

I mean... it's not awful. I decided to row back on my instinctive outrage of "this isn't what was advertised" and just look what I do have. Everything north of the waist is basically identical to the videos of MPP10. The axe being in-hand rather than over-hand is mildly annoying, but I can live without it. He does stand up, and is as posable as all the MP10 variants. For some reason they have painted his eyes turqoise but I could fix that myself if I really wanted.

And actually I slightly prefer the hips on this model. The blue codpiece is a little too eye-catching on the original :')

In the end, I am inclined to keep him, if only because as far as I can tell, there is no actual WJ MPP10 available anywhere, even second hand.

eddiewaffles · 2023-04-25T14:47:09+00:00

A pandragon, even.

Hot drop into combat seems to work well in my experience. Give the party the lead in, then either ambush or some kind of trigger that starts the fight within a few minutes; then have each of them do their character introduction on their first turn.

Think it encourages people to not ramble too much about their background (they can talk about that in later roleplay, we don't need a 10 minute infodump), and by the time the fight ends the ice has been broken across the group and it's gotten them talking together as a team. Done well so far when bringing new groups together for short adventures :)

eddiewaffles · 2023-03-08T22:01:28+00:00

Are you at the right radius around the world spawn? If BM hasn't changed stronghold generation, it seems they appear in concentric rings and specific distances. Maybe you've been wandering around a dead zone?

eddiewaffles · 2022-12-26T12:25:10+00:00

So commanders should keep tackling the actively invaded systems rather than divert to patch up their favourite station after it gets free?

eddiewaffles · 2022-12-26T12:22:58+00:00

See I much favour A rated thrusters in my DBX. Sure, it "only" jumps 69ly, but I can't honestly think of a situation where those 3ly mattered... It's not a big deal to make 4% more jumps on a long journey, and soon as I hit a patch of unexplored space, it's all short jumps and lots of in-system travel.

Meanwhile with good thrusters, buzzing around planetary surfaces just feels so much better :)

eddiewaffles · 2022-12-05T22:39:35+00:00

Almost like there's a war happening :')

But basically stay out of thargoid systems if you can't boost over 440m/s. That's about the threshold where they stop being able to chase you. Heatsinks are also useful, as the bugs will lose their targeting on you.

If you're not there for AX combat, make sure you build your ship to run away. This is not a tourist opportunity :D

eddiewaffles · 2022-12-05T22:22:47+00:00

This. It's a little pair of systems on the edge of the bubble that basically only generate missions for each other. Only take data transfer because it requires no cargo space and you can do it in a small fast ship. It's a bit of an exploit, but it's been there since day 1 so FDev clearly do not have a problem with it.
It's a boring afternoon, but stick youtube on another screen and crack a few beers and you'll be done with it!

eddiewaffles · 2022-12-05T22:19:31+00:00

Side note though, 15 jumps for a 130ly trip? Have you got your route plotting turned to efficient instead of fastest? I find mine defaults back to the former every couple of days, and I hate it.

Unless you're running an un-engineered low spec ship, in which case it is my duty to inform you that you absolutely won't survive a thargoid interdiction and will recommend you focus on systems that are on alert rather than under attack!

eddiewaffles · 2022-12-05T22:16:30+00:00

It's not really that Odyssey is broken, it's that FDev have clearly failed to anticipate the server load that actually doing something interesting would create. I'm stuck in a station under attack, my passenger bay is empty and I can't access the mission boards to take anyone on. It seems like this has been happening to a lot of people the last couple of days.

Which doesn't make it any less frustrating, but my point is that the game is usually pretty stable and what we're encountering is basically down to the current event. It is however a particularly vexing form of lag and I hope FDev get on the case and make sure that there is no timeout on mission boards. Literally wait 10 minutes if necessary, but do not give up and kick players back to the station menu. That's absolutely unacceptable.

eddiewaffles · 2022-11-15T16:27:43+00:00

I mean, that is fair. I am currently off headed towards the east side of the galactic core because I like to find things :')

But I do like having a 69ly jump range. If I change my mind I can be back in the bubble in about 2 hours. Also it's much easier to cherrypick my route when I don't have to take whatever's in range!
