Got it, we had a map and gps but could not figure out how to get it to work. I saw the m key after we had those so did not try "M" then. You need all 3 or just a map and one of the other's?

@phil bottle Why does the map not work? I saw a video that showed 1.19 now had a built in map by pressing M? Is this also only on that other map?

Let's go, I was fucking sick anyway....again....

So they made a game of Honey I Shrunk the Kids...

Not sure I can commit @GazzaGarratt I'm balls deep in more regulatory deadlines and travel.

Hey @Luseth I work in the energy sector here in the states. I'm currently in the cybersecurity compliance side of the business which leads me to be on many different types of project related to your profession. I manage a department to handle all the federal, state, and local laws and regulations that are applied to our company from a cyber perspective. Needless to say with all the shit happening around the world, I don't get much sleep. I'm at Con Edison, the utility in NYC founded by Thomas Edison and we have some crazy infrastructure solutions to some of the things you were talking about. We too are moving towards more electrification as our gas business (O&G in general) is being targeted by many different groups at the moment. We also run the largest steam generation and distribution system in the world which offers a pretty sweat alternative to heating and cooling from an HVAC perspective. We run 300psi mains (20.7 bar) to feed large buildings like World Trade, Empire State, large apartments etc. They can use the product as is for mechanical applications or run co-gen and mechanical applications. As in, run steam powered turbines to generate electricity for their buildings and potentially feed back into the grid in addition to heating and cooling. The steam is super purified and is actually regulated by our FDA. We are also currently the 2nd largest producer of solar in North America along with some wind, but are looking to offload those assets in favor of taking that 4B in sale money to invest in storage which really is the future. Grid level energy storage will be the lynchpin in any successful renewables scaling like wind, solar, tidal etc. These investments will allow us to manage the future output for electrification of homes, cars, mass transit (most already are) and more. We are pushing folks to go one of the many heat pump routes as they are the best suited for the job moving forward. As a manufacturing engineer and quality guy by trade please GO OUT TO THE FIELD before you finish your designs. Far too often in my previous life in manufacturing would designers develop some shit that can't be made in the physical universe we occupy. I can only imagine the stories @Diddumshas about shit that that was poorly designed!!! Anyway, welcome to the fold, many of us are happy to talk shop in addition to gaming. You've stumbled on a diverse set of folks here.

Yep.

thoughts @phil bottle?

so remember to upload every time if you are working on your main base!

I ended up dying there in a pile of my own vomit as you do. But alas, I was respawned in the middle of the woods in the upper east part of the map. 26k later, I've found the little camp the gents are at. My mild ocd kicked in when I noticed all the storage are basically dump boxes. So @RenFenggeand I start to figure out how to build more and fix it. She wonders off as she does and @crispymorgan and I were taking turns performing CPR on her until she had enough blood to not pass out. We both realized building is harder than it should/needs to be and we logged off for the night. Looks like next step is building a new base in the NW part of the map for activities. All I know is I watched a video where I could be a grower of the drugs and sell them to a drug vending machine. This is the kinda modded gameplay I can get behind. Vendors and a point. If the point was to survive I feel like I've accomplished that during my 26k walkabout. Job done, need something else to keep me interested. After all, this is really a pvp game.

In fact it was, had a nice 🥩.

Happy birthday @RenFenggeMUAH!

When are you guys usually logging on? I've been stuck in NMS as I forgot how much fun the base building is.

Yea I'm sure the PC is quicker for moving but I can't asked to start again. Saves are not cross play. I've gotten used to it again like left stick to run not right etc. For the most part, everyone is on PS so the chat is easier on everyone. But discord should solve that at some point hopefully.

Nice! I'm a launch player as well, got Platinum then left it alone for 3-4 years. It's been really fun playing again. Found an exotic bird already, got my free freighter, and now working on those new living ships. It's changed a lot since launch for sure. It's cross play so the version should not matter. We can add to you the PS chat, not sure if we are friends on there yet but I've added @GazzaGarratt to it so I'm assuming he can!

Since I've played like 20 mins with this, can you build? Or is constant wandering around trying to not die?

Played like 5 hours last night, the new outlaw update is pretty neat. I've stated fresh and the game sucked me right back in. Tons more to do and multiplayer was super fun, seamless and a pleasure. Played with an old friend and it was like we never left. Tons more to explore!

Yay, I've played like 20 mins of this and that's about it.

Thanks everyone!

The environments can like too cold, too hot, acidic etc. The animals leave you alone for the most part. So you can just chill and build. Some are aggressive though but that's depending on type of planet. Running out of O2 is always a problem!

I'm done with the whole "alpha" conversation too, that's just a term to shield devs when they take your money over promise and under deliver. How long as 7days or Star Citizen been in "alpha"? A decade each? I'm sorry but thats bullshit and it's no different than pushing a title to "release" when it's not done. It's simply a better PR strategy. As in, if Hello Games said it was "alpha" then it would be ok? They are doing the same thing, furthermore, they delivered more in 5 years than others have in 10. Let's not forget that Sony had a massive part in over selling this game at launch too. At the end of the day, continuing to bash a company when they made good on their promises and course corrected is kinda bullshit. People make mistakes, what matters is how you handle yourself after. That's much harder, so I could give a shit about terms that cover over studio's, they took ppls money and are dropping the project. That shows more about their character than anything. I don't expect everyone to play or even agree with me and that's ok. I still plan on enjoying all these games even if I can't stand the flying in SC it's still fun to play with others.
