Happy birthday dudes!

Mine also auto-downloaded the PTS. Looking at the discussion board, apparently it is "Public Test Server" where you can help test upcoming changes they're trying out before pushing to the live servers.

Picked up the base game, but won't be back to play until after December 9th.

Happy birthday!

I see it working like we used to do organized Minecraft survival events. I've always enjoyed that beginning period of a server when we're all working together to get started before we all eventually branch off to do our own things.

Happy birthday!

I have not used the pre-made streaming boxes before, but I have used Kodi with the various IPTV streaming add-ons on my own hardware. My problem is that eventually, they all get shut down by the various law enforcement agencies around the world. While its not illegal for you to own that box or to even view the streams... it is illegal (in most countries) for them to broadcast it and it is very easy to track down the source of a stream to take legal action against whoever is responsible for it. Of course, once they shut one down, two more pop up... but that just means you have to stay tuned into that community to learn where the best new content is coming from and keep your add-ons updated. If you have the time, patience, and you won't get an earful from the other people in your home for having to change constantly, that system can certainly save you a fair bit of coin from the cable company and the box office.

Looks quite impressive. I'm flying back home tomorrow, hope to get some hours in game this weekend.

Must be doing something right. Happy to be around for another trip around the sun.

As you can see, the forum upgrade has been completed. If you notice any issues, please let us know.

I think you get auto-enrolled in LifeAlert this year, lucky you!

We have not locked down that permission on the new server, so anyone should be able to upload. Let me know if you're unable to and we'll get that figured out.

All channels on the old TeamSpeak have been locked down and multiple hints at moving to the new address. We'll leave the old server up through the weekend to catch as many regular users as possible. If you have uploaded any files to the channels on the old server, be sure to grab them before next week if you don't want them to disappear.

Happy birthday!

PCU limit reached - can't build anymore

I took a lap through the valleys around the main base, but didn't spot the Miner. Did deliver a few loads of iron from the lake, though. Also added some oxygen and hydrogen storage tanks to the lake base. What else do we need to start getting into space?

Yea the blast door is nice, I didn't look into how the auto close stuff was being done, but that's pretty slick. Adder and I built a mini mining base over on the lake that I put a large landing pad on that may fit your surveyor. We could give the group chat a try, but if we talk about our shenanigans here, we may entice some new players to join us... Hint hint, noobs.

Server updated to 1.187.089.

Server has been updated to 1.187.087. Save appears to be fine. I'm good with whatever mods you guys want to throw on there.

Got it, makes sense. I was thinking about doing a Utility/Transport type ship with the same functional concept, so that works. My miner is pretty straight forward. Only thing to be careful about is keeping it upright. Only the large thrusters have enough push to keep it airborne. Its not really an efficient design, though. I have to grind through the top layers each pass, which is not ideal, especially if we're going to dig down to those 100m deep deposits. I was going to do a redesign to try and get it to work on two axis, but I saw you built your miner so I just used yours. After doing two passes with my vertical miner, I was able to drop in with your horizontal one straight to the ore and skip all the rock. Managed to get about 150k of nickel in one go, but still did get a bit of stone also... how do you discard the unwanted material from yours? My boot up sequence: Battery "recharge" off Reactors on Release connector Antenna on Ore detector on Once at the ore location: Fine tune position over the ore Align roll and pitch with the horizon guage Lock the gyroscope Ensure ejectors are on Turn on drills Continue to lower elevation until ore is reached Slowly raise back to the surface I did do some tidying up around the base. Renamed all the ship components to include which ship they are on so looking at the inventory and control panel is a bit easier to figure out what is what. Turned off all the ship antennas and ore detectors while docked to clean up the HUD. Turned off all ship reactors so they're not trying to power the base and also put all ship batteries on recharge for the same reason. Turned off the "use conveyors" option for all the ship reactors, otherwise they automatically pull uranium from the refinery when ore is dropped in.

Figured I'd start a thread since I probably won't see most of you until the weekend. What is the function of the new rover style vehicle? Very odd design, couldn't figure out what the intent was. Also with that vehicle, I wouldn't leave it docked to the connector on the rotor. Any time I'd return to the base after mining, that thing would be pretty violently shaking and there is a bit of damage to the wheel. P.S. - Anyone that plays SE that isn't already aware, I'm running a dedicated server. Search "LOSC Survival". You must be a member of the Sparta group on Steam to join the server.

Happy birthday dude!

Hey all. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on some upcoming changes happening here in the next week. We will be moving both our website hosting and TeamSpeak server to a single hosting provider. For the website and forums, this should be mostly seamless. For TeamSpeak, everyone will have to update their server bookmark once we go live. We don't have a hard set date of when we're making the transition, this is merely a courtesy warning that change is around the corner. When we get everything finalized, we'll make another announcement with all the pertinent details. If there are any questions or concerns, come have a chat with us in TeamSpeak.

To all of you with mini-Spartans terrorizing your households. I smoked some ribs for the father-in-law yesterday, I hope you're all having a good weekend.

Happy birthday!
