I haven't played in a while, but SE always felt like more of a physics sandbox than an actual game. 'Minecraft in Space' is a far comparison. But it's shalow in that there isn't much, if any story, campaign, or real progression to it. It's fun to build in, and has a continued multiplayer fanbase. Worth wishlisting and getting on sale if you like building in Empyrion.

Thank you! I recently saw a thumbnail of this in a Feral Historian video and I was hoping to find a copy.

Seconding this advice. Install ProtonUp-Qt, run it and add the latest Proton-GE version. Restart Steam and change game compatibilty settings to use use Proton-GE.

My curiosity got the best of me, here's the link to Wright: https://www.wrightmfg.com/products/mowers/commercial/stand-on/robotic-zk/

The Mower

  • 40HP Vanguard Engine
  • Hydro-Gear Smartec Drive-By-Wire 12cc
  • 15.5 Gallon Fuel Capacity
  • Centimeter-level accurate RTK GPS
  • Commercial-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
  • Depth-sensing object detection cameras
  • Rock-solid wireless emergency stop
  • Remote control mode
  • Live Greenzie support: Call for support while in the field for real-time fixes.

The Software

  • Mow the boundary once, and the mower fills in the rest
  • Remembers maps and can repeat them when you come back. Just place it in the previous boundary.
  • Create no-go zones that will be saved with your map to avoid hitting hard-to-see obstacles like drain covers or small pipes sticking out of the ground.
  • Record and repeat: Record yourself mowing the entire property, and the mower will replicate your movement.
  • Manage the mower with the controller or a smart device in real-time.
  • Advanced fleet support: See how your fleet is performing. Replay entire jobs, not just a dot on the map.
  • Run multiple units at once.
  • Set the stripe angle (for those stunning cross-hatch patterns)
  • Seamless automatic updates

Don't get me wrong, I still feel dirty for defending the US patent system. lol

'Personal use' covers propagation and breeding by an individual, for non-commercial purposes. Nobody's saying -you- can't try to propigate or breed them, but you could be libel if you try to make money off the endeavor.

In this case I would say the patent system is working as intended, in that it gives some protection to LightBio's investment into creating the firefly. While I would LOVE to see an expanded variety available from other -commercial- growers (with MUCH larger operations and funding), I don't want it to be at the expense of LightBio's effort, or the commercial success they've earned for creating it in the first place.

Nice! Mine should be arriving soon and I can't wait! Does Light Bio send out shipping notices, or did you all just have it arrive as a nice surprise?

I don't know of a gamified version (but would love to see one), but for help identifying, validating, and tracking sightings you may find the Merlin app from TheCornellLab useful.

Take a look at the thermometer/hydrometer from SwitchBot (also available on Amazon). $14 each, but available in packs of 2/4 at a discount.

Nearly all SB products seem to have data export from the app. I have three temp sensors (inside/outside/garage), and also use the smart plug mini to monitor and store power consumption data for devices.

While not a flight sim I'll give a recommendation for Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Spend some time salvaging old spaceships in zero-g.
