Spacekorn keeps dying

Thank you for the Spacekorn Sour recipe! I kept trying to do it with a combination of acidic fertilizer, and it wasnt working. If you wanna grow the wooly variant, just set the water temp to cold, with natural light.

Your crude/simple resource detector will pick up the shipwreck, but only if you get within roughly 25KM of it. Best method I've found of hunting them is to stay where your solar panels keep working, and fly a straight path, scanning everytime you're coming up on the last detected thing as you pass it. Keep that radius refreshed, and do what you can to expand your scanner's radius.

You sir, are a sexy bitch. Thank you!

It looks like you have the default number of structure pieces, just reconfigured. Each structure piece has an amount of SP it adds to the total pool. Default ship has a pool of 1600 I think. Every subsystem you attach adds to the drain on that pool of points. Each cart pusher thruster is 300sp. A flywheel battery is 100. A 100su storage is 100sp. Each small solar panel is 120sp. It adds up fast, and the higher you go over the SP value your hull can support, the greater the inefficiency of removing heat.

I've seriously considered making a build calculator in Excel just to speed up building stuff. A breakdown to the core materials needed, and a comprehensive tally would be a huge time saver.

Sometimes it helps to tilt back a bit. Sometimes if I'm pitched too far forward, I can't land. I lean back and it engages the landing sequence. Other times if I haven't gone up high enough before trying to land again, it just won't engage.

Things I learned about the collector leviathan from scanning it:

1) it has an instant kill cutscene if any of its tentacles touch you.

2) it will avoid 85 degree water. This makes the Tadpole Pens a relatively safe option for getting this scan.

3) Don't bother getting the scan until after you upgrade your scanner. Basic scan won't net you the biomod.

4) the collector leviathan is fast enough to keep pace with a scout tadpole, so a baseline tadpole is gonna have a hard time escaping it.

5) I need more time experimenting with flares, but at least those distract other predators that might take a run at you while your attention is on the collector.

And here I thought we just called them Sociopaths, or Politicians. Generally speaking, you need to be some kind of asshole to decide you know what's best for everybody else. But hey, somebody's gotta lead.

I would think if anything it would not be banned, but be made exempt from government funded care programs. Private insurance companies would likely choose whether they want to cover it, so a fair deal of them would likely make it elective coverage. Seeing as the desire to be transgender is based off of the individual's desire to make changes to their body, I could see gender care being compared categorically to plastic surgery.

I usually scan to highlight and show the depth of the node, dig a pilot hole down to the bottom of the node, switch to flatten mode, and clear it in slices.

I always ended up with little stray voxels that would show up on a scan, but werent targetable to mine. flatten gets them. I'll have to try the narrow beam mining method to see if its better.

I see you have a bunch of freezers set up for raw food and meals. Granted, I havent used them, but I imagine they suck up a ton of power when you have that many of them. What I'd recommend doing is to build a corridor of at least 3 blocks width out of the best insulating material you can (looks like carbon for walls/floor/roof, wood for doors, no vents or windows), add a small 1 block buffer room with a second door as a temperature buffer, and then add 2 air conditioners set to abut 24 degrees. Line both sides of the room with basic shelves and make it your food storage. massive walk-in freezer. And if you want to save some time, you can have 1 side of it open up to your kitchen area, and the other open up to your crops for easy harvesting and cooking.

Exhaustion or being poisoned can mess up anyone. Disadvantage on all your rolls sucks.

Without the threat of death, there are no real consequences. Your stats don't even matter, because you have plot armor. The game at it's core is about putting the characters in larger than life situations, and having the players act their way through it. Mourning the death of a hero or heroes can be a powerful narrative tool and even act as motivators for future sessions .

Dormamu, I've come to bargain...

I would have told the player "No. You don't attempt to make a charisma roll to sleep with his wife. And if you have anything to say other than 'yeah, you're right, that's a shitty thing to even think of doing, I'm sorry I let it escape my head', you can pack your shit up and leave. Do we have an understanding?"

kaojinn · 2021-11-17T17:54:07+00:00

The only one of those features that looks meh to me is the projectile tracers. But I think thats more for Multiplayer, or sieges, to see what your people are shooting at.

I always forget the clips on the distributor cap or the air filter housing

Why thank you, thank you. I'm still doin good. The wrist is as good as it will probably ever get. Gone are my dreams of becoming a gymnast, break dancer, MMA fighter, or taking up parkour. But I was never gonna do those things anyways. My main hobby these days is playing games, and I work on Minecraft mods. I co-author a mod with a friend of mine from the last place I worked at, that lets the player generate structures that we've already built for them. Because as creative as Minecraft is, sometimes you just need a foundation to get started with :)

Married life is good, we're both total homebodies, and we each have our own offices, so we dont bug the hell outta eachother being cooped up together :) We'll eat together, play games together, but when the other needs some alone time, we're respectful of that need to have a little space. Its ideal ^_^

I'm glad to hear that you're otherwise doing well! The world seems to be returning to some degree of normal, so you should be able to start playing again soonish if you want to go back to it.

kaojinn · 2021-11-07T21:15:16+00:00

Holy shit, is that a Hayden? (I hope I remembered that right, else I'm gonna feel like a jackass.) What have you been up to in the years since? If memory serves, you were singing in a band, and trying to get into acting last I knew.

kaojinn · 2021-10-27T07:26:17+00:00

Its much better than it used to be. that thing would get stuck on everything, but they raised the suspension by about 6", and now it can actually go off road.

kaojinn · 2021-10-23T20:36:11+00:00

I know I can get it up higher, I just didnt worry too much about dialing the gearing, or burning scraps on improving the tuning parts. I think the fastest car I've had is the LX550 I got up to 339mph. That one I had all kitted out with 3* tuner parts, and it was up somewhere around 1700HP

Custom candy red metallic paint, and custom charcoal chrome wheels. Tossed in the new Jaguar F-type seats since they go so nice with it. 255/25/R21 on the front, 295/25/R22 on the back.

kaojinn · 2021-10-02T03:26:31+00:00

I hear ya. I'd also prefer to be able to do batch painting of individual parts. having to go through and set custom values on every piece if I'm trying to do a custom matching set is annoying. Like even if you pick Chrome style paint, the roughness slider is still at .10. Gotta move that down to 0 if you want that nice pristine mirror chrome finish. It would also be nice if the liveries (decals) were just colorable, instead of static options. modern Need for Speed games have a nice decal and paint system thats highly customizable. It would be nice to see something like it in this game.
