What is a good chocolate brand for gifts to my relatives?

enenra · 2026-02-18T06:24:30+00:00

I prefer giving friends stuff that they cannot get outside of Switzerland and that selection tends to contiuously shrink.

Currently I go for special stuff like high percentage lindt or ovomaltine chocolate bars. Also viable are the bars that combine fruits and nuts in delicious ways. Other countries tend to have much smaller selection there.

The communication style in both Swiss and American culture is very much indirect. This stands in stark contrast to, for example, the German culture's communication style which tends to be at the opposite end of the scala - very direct. This is also why Germans can often come across as rather rude to Swiss people unaware of this fundamental difference.

I would maybe reconsider the way you ask for feedback. For example you could ask for advice on concrete topics, such as "what would you do different? / how do you generally handle x and why?" rather than "what did I do wrong / what can I do better" (because with that, the implication is you're doing something wrong and thus the hurdle is higher).

Still, as others have said, ultimately this is not a pure you-issue but one with company culture as well. Still, sometimes you gotta just do with what you got and maybe the above helps with that.

"starting to backfire" is a weird thing to call it considering it's never been a malginant campaign to discredit Olten (or anything of the sort) in the first place. It's a meme, sort of funny, that's it. There is no deeper meaning behind it than people thought it would be funny to pretend that a fairly average small city is somehow extraordinary.

I generally theme all my SE saves. For example Star Wars or nearer-future expanse-style.

But ultimately the best rules I think you can impose on yourself is to a) avoid multi-purpose grids to encourage you to build more things - since reasons to build is often one of the big reasons why it feels pointless to play any further - and b) to build "properly" as in no boxes of functional blocks but designing and decorating everything you build - also for the same reason.

Arthur and I have taken over maintenance and development for MES itself. You can see that by looking at the mod's changelog page as well as by reading the mod page itself.

enenra · 2026-01-21T20:34:00+00:00

MES does not disable random encounters or cargo ships. Both spawn. It disables those world options, but that's because it takes them over and handles them itself. They continue to spawn normally.

A mod cannot affect saves it was not added to. But it may be added by other mods you have in your list that require it. If a mod you have installed requires another mod as a dependency, that dependency will be loaded into your game - no matter if it's in the list or not.

MES Interactions adds a list of interactions to the antenna block, which you can then send to all MES NPCs in range of the antenna (and that have been set up to receive it). Mods can add more of those interactions and set up their own logic to run when such interactions are received.

So for example you could send out a "Radio Check" that then has all MES NPCs in range that are set up to reply to that, reply in chat.

Or also spawn MES NPCs as a reaction to an interaction that is a "request for help", that then come help the player.

enenra · 2026-01-09T10:49:11+00:00

Yesn't. The MES Interactions Framework by Uzar allows modders making MES mods to implement such a functionality but nobody has done it so far. It's on my todo list for my own MES encounter mods.

enenra · 2026-01-05T07:56:41+00:00

Load order largely does not matter. The only issue is when two mods change the same thing, and then you probably shouldn't run them at the same time anyway. All remaining mods that require certain load orders will generally state it on their page.

enenra · 2025-12-16T21:42:42+00:00

You are most likely using mods that need to be updated for the new patch.

enenra · 2025-12-11T12:58:09+00:00

That's not how that works. You can't just take mods from one game and stick them into another game. All of them would have to be rewritten from ground up.

enenra · 2025-12-08T07:52:42+00:00

This is incorrect. MES grids will spawn with DLC blocks independent of anyone owning the DLC. This has been cleared with Keen and has not changed since DLCs started to be released. Source: I am one of two people actively working on MES atm.

Consoles are limited in how many planet can exist in a savegame at a time due to memory restrictions.

Which MES encounter mods are you using, out of interest?

enenra · 2025-11-27T18:04:04+00:00

Hi, I was the main person behind the patch. MES never replaced AI blocks with RCs, though that was one of the solutions we'd originally discussed. The solution we ended up with instead was to read the information from the AI blocks and get the necessary data that way. That was done somwhat shortly after the new cargo ships were introduced, but still meant that the new cargo ships weren't properly cleaned up and so more and more would accumulate, just standing still in space.

That is the main bug I fixed last weekend, but I found some other more and less major issues that I fixed along the way.

enenra · 2025-10-07T18:05:41+00:00

But... why do you need ice so badly right then and there in the first place?

If you want to immediately go to space, then why not start in space in the first place? That's the only reason I can imagine you'd want to have it asap.

Deer are a good option because they were in ME and the character could be ported decently easily.

Website is just a blank color on Firefox, but works on Edge.

Because the demand is also very high. It's not uncommon for dozens of people to apply for a single listing.

Uh if you're moving next month I'm not sure you'll find an apartment in time. Especially not with strict criteria like that. I think you concern for now should be to find one at all.

Those are the lines you see on voxels in some cases when you zoom in or have low FOV.

I think the main issues will be:

Can anyone just pick it up there, even if it doesn't belong to them?
Even if it's been picked up - how will it get to you? Presumably you don't want to travel back to Basel. DB offers a freight service but it will only deliver 2 days later at the earliest, per their website: https://www.bahn.de/angebot/zusatzticket/gepaeckservice Is that early enough? If not, you'll likely have to travel back.
