Decided to try something.

It worked. Now I wonder what I'll do with it...

The build zone doesn't reach the ground, but I tested many times and there's always something under me zoning in, so it should be safe. I hope.

I don't like interacting with quests in PTS, but I will definitely wander around and try and get a lay of the land (and potential ideas) without polluting my thought processes for the actual game....

Alright, doing the thing, fishing drunk for the challenge, doo dee doo....

"Fishing while intoxicated 1/3". Ok. Wait a minute...

... nice.

#Fallout4 memories of mods past...
when I made On Hollowed Ground it was full of gigantic chambers; how to manage the FPS hit from excessive polygons?
Embed occlusion in the walls and arrange them for zero free sightline further than the next chamber over.

Well, haven't I been scarce; work schedules, ugh.

But hey, fishin'....

Huh. Is this a new random encounter, a bug, or have I just been exceedingly unlucky for the last 4300 hours of gameplay?

edastro.com is just awesome.

So here's my entire "game life" travels in one map, with earthlike bodies and rare phenomena marked...

I like how it goes all ragged where I found that odd ring of white dwarves and neutron stars.

Don't let my lax posting make you think I've abandoned the game... far from it, I just find myself scraping the bottom of the time barrel.

With the carrier to manage now, first expedition plan is short and safe but should be fruitful.

Ok, maybe so.

Just toying with something, preparing for the new camp mechanisms.

Nice to know there are future plans... I see 6 unknown types of fishing bait. Yup, the common, improved, and superb baits are all sitting there making for a grand implication.

Since the M&M.... sorry, the Marshal Mallow hat is a required item for some event challenges, I put together a temporary new look for Dr. Strangegun here.

Smashing.

Found a bug, I think. Scorpius Dark HH-V, outside my carrier's parking orbit there's a "pane" of space that doesn't fit the rest.

Likely of no real significance... just interesting.

Got my 76 glowing fish, pretty much all done with fishing challenges, save for the axolotl list.

Might be worth continuing to fish, just for the loot from feeding bait to LeeAnn or whatever it's called. Dump 100+ and you can get some pretty hot stuff back in return; solar armor, etc.

(clearing up screenshots for the last week or so, been super busy)

4200 hours into the game, and I had never found this recipe before? Amazing. Unless it's new for the canning module...

#Fallout76
Finally... this one took *forever*.
That's all 3! Only thing left to do is get roughly 20 more glowing fish and all the (possible) fishing challenges are done.

Are the striped axolotl out yet? Total bomb on trip #1...

*really* have to do something about these carrier parking orbits, I have to burn a heatsink every time I want to launch my tanker...

WE BRAKE FOR SHRUBBERY sitrep:

Jumped to Sheron and did a little spending on Tritium in the systems around, not bad... 68% fueled now. Tweaked the support ships again, now I have a dedicated small explorer (Hauler) and a 224t cap "tanker" (Type 7) that can mine a little too.

Holy crap... it's done.

Welcome to my new fleet carrier:

Not much to say, gaming sessions have been every few days of late and the 'mission' is simply 'get over there', but I'm slowly crawling back to civilization. Saw my first asteroid base, colony ship, outposts, etc. associated with the new colonization mechanism. No large pads though.

Didn't realize it's been a week since I posted, a little overwhelmed with tasks at work and home, but...

...I'm back in the Norma Expanse. Been a while. And, will be a while; changing my route and deciding whether to stop off or just get back ASAP to nab a carrier.

I didn't get there first, but it's always neat to see oddities such as earthlike worlds orbiting neutron stars.
