Tested something... so much potential!
All we need are carpeted half floors, and some interior half width wall pieces (interior meaning both sides can take wallpaper). Oh, and some way to wallpaper the underside of a floor. Also can't find a sink that isn't a resource (no shelter use).

So... after years of being a dry well, I've finally come up with an idea for a mod that's fleshing out nicely, storywise.

Let's see how far this goes.

Right now I'm just rolling the plot around and making notes every time something comes to mind. I'm at the introduction/intake steps.

by the time I actually get back to this game I'm going to have to print out my keymaps and relearn how to control it...

When Atlas/3I passes Earth at it's closest point, scientists may pick up faint radio signals as it zooms back into the cosmos.

Over months of effort, those radio signals are finally made sense of. What wonders do they hold?

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.

*sigh*
New scheduling for me means I've lost just enough of my spare time that I've not played Elite in a while... just as I was ramping up for real carrier-based exploration, with the need to maintain the carrier.

Gotta pull an hour or two from somewhere...

Bethesda, if you're listening... the "in a conversation, thwack, room goes dark" trope is something I absolutely *despise*. As a forwarding device it's lazy and insulting to players that eliminate risks as a habit.

I wouldn't stand with my back to a door, talking to a stranger...

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.

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

Seems the Striped Axolotl isn't out until the tuesday reset... and in morning light, that makes sense. Bethesda hadn't said where they would be, so I had looked it up online.

Bethesda hasn't said where they'll be because they aren't there yet. *Smacks forehead*. Got ahead of myself.

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...
