We are doomed

Mine does this too. The combo of the noise of the coffee maker and the smell probably reinforces the routine.

That would fail Occam's Razor. Furthermore, the article talks about iron.

Cinnabar is actually super rare. I've spent half my life doing mineral exploration and have never seen it in the wild anywhere. I've only ever seen samples in the lab or in a museum.

This seems to be mostly a problem for publicly traded companies. There are exceptions. But if you look at airlines, the pattern is there.

They should be considered infrastructure. Infrastructure can pay a dividend to shareholders, but you shouldn't be able to speculate on shares.

I don't think so. At least not with the unique expedition reward eggs.

But, build a base on a planet with a cool companion. After the expedition ends, your base will still exist and you can teleport there.

Yes. It's about a year away

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is an interesting one. It is based off a Japanese novel (debatable whether it is one long novel or a series, but that is a digression) that is okay ish. But the show does a pretty decent job of it, and many actually consider the show to be the better form. It's pretty long, like 110 episodes (from memory, could be wrong) and occasionally it veers into petty politicking a little too much for my liking. But it's really interesting from a tactical point of view in a way that no other sci Fi has attempted. It's very fuedal naval empires in space. Master and Commander stuff.

Worth it. Give it a few episodes to let the show grow on you. The art style will throw you off initially, but after a little bit it seems normal.

We could stack export tariffs on there. Bureaucratically difficult since we currently don't really do export tariffs. But it would be an interesting political response.

Actual artporn. Also, loving the writeups

Canada wouldn't be allowed to vote, presuming elections still existed. It's just expansionism at the end of the Republic.

 

This might be considered an exploit or glitch. I'm not the one to discover it. Probably some of you know this already.

You can transfer ALL of your Expedition items to your main save.

Step one -- complete the Expedition. But don't accept the End Expedition dialog when it pops up (ESC on PC, O on PlayStation, etc. -- basically, dismiss the dialog without hitting "Accept").

(A) Go to the Expedition terminal and fill up all the inventory there with stuff you want to transfer back to your main save. DO NOT CLICK END EXPEDITION.

(B) Get into and out of your starship to create a save, then using the game menu choose "Return to Primary Save"

(C) In your main save, collect all the Expedition items from the Expedition terminal. Then click "Resume Expedition" from the Expedition terminal.

(D) Go to step (A) and repeat until everything is transferred.

This is great if you want to collect things like technology modules from destroying frigates/freighters or something in your expedition save (to send back to your main save) without having to deal with the faction hits. Or whatever else you wish to farm from an expedition.

One of my favourite authors wrote one of my favourite articles: "Am I a bad feminist?" By Margaret Atwood

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/am-i-a-bad-feminist/article37591823/ (view in incognito mode or similar to bypass paywall)

Quoting: "We are acceptable neither to Right nor to Left. In times of extremes, extremists win. Their ideology becomes a religion, anyone who doesn't puppet their views is seen as an apostate, a heretic or a traitor, and moderates in the middle are annihilated."

The topic of her essay is not relevant to this particular topic, but the quote resonates nevertheless.

I was trying to keep my comment short(ish), but you're not wrong. There are other complications :)

 
 

Haven't turned anything in a while. Chips!

 
 
 
 

Anyone got any personal anecdotes or experience with hiking destinations in southern Chile (lake district or Patagonia)? Planning to be there in April for a few weeks, so I'll miss the penguins. But the weather should be decent in the mountains. Thinking Torres del Paine due to being outside of peak season, but open to suggestions and anecdotes :)

 

I missed it the first time. Any recommendations for items to push through to the expedition from your main save?

 

Cull animals, kill predators, kill sentinels... any other ones that stack well? I sort of like collecting missions while on a station and then not doing them at all. Eventually I'll do a quicksilver mission in the Nexus and accidentally complete like two dozen missions at once...

 

Hi folks, just finished the "Adrift" Expedition 13 redux -- currently running until Dec 25th.

First thoughts:

(1) If you have some sellable scrap or something in your main save, push them into your expedition inventory and sell them at the first space station. This will help you get started. But, perhaps more importantly, you can buy a lot of https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Emergency_Signal_Scanner for about 1.4M each -- which are normally about time limited, so you can buy out the stock of ~14 at each space station and bring them back into your main save.

(2) Due to the nature of this particular expedition, bases don't show up on the map (although you can still fly to them). There are a lot of bases already built with names like "easy larval cores" or "robot horses" or similar. When you are looking at your task list, sometimes it is easiest to just go to the space station and then warp to someone's base.

(3) In particular, the one that says "climb to 1400u" -- just go to the Rendezvous planet for that phase of the expedition and land on a mountain. There are several near the rendezvous point that are sufficiently tall.

(4) For the one that says "salvage a starship" or similar -- probably the least resource intensive version is to find a base with a crashed sentinel ship.

(5) Nanites are in short supply, so it is unlikely you'll be able to have enough to import a multi-tool or ship unless you're cheesing things. Even to complete the mission to get 1200 nanites, I was doing things like processing slime in my personal refiner.

(6) The ghost frigate is awesome.

Reminder to claim your Starborn Phoenix (Gold version of Starborn Runner) at the quicksilver station either before/after your expedition.

 

Starborn Phoenix -- a gold version of Starborn Runner -- free to Steam users. (Probably works with Cross Save to get on other systems, but unsure.)
