Another Station Claimed, in Galaxy #59 - Ploehrliou

Another Station Claimed, in Galaxy #59 - Ploehrliou

Another new Galaxy for the Alliance. 059: Oh Grand Nog (Vortex 4204) is located in a Tier 3 Economy system, with five planets, not far from the 59- Ploehrliou Galaxy core. This is my twelfth station claimed, in twelve different galaxies!

Claiming the station dropped our total by 2,502 points, but added another galaxy. This algorithm makes no sense. Now it’s on to the 60s.

Do you have any recommendations for Home Air Conditioning repair services in the Chelmsford area?

The external AC for my townhouse decided it didn’t like the heat and humidity either, so it decided to stop working. Can you recommend someone to call to help me and your experience with them? Anyone I should avoid?

Thanks in advance!

I’m completely blocked trying to claim a second system

I’ve spent more time, by far, writing and submitting bug reports today, than it took to run one successful salvage mission (out of many attempts) on my PS5. It’s been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had in NMS, probably just below losing a 1,000+ hour save back around 2.0. I’m two 🤬 salvage contracts away from claiming a second (TGC) station, and I’ve been struggling for at least ten hours today.

I think I need to stop all salvage attempts until the next update drops. 🤬🤬🤬

5900+ hours of play, starting on Day One. Done for now. 😭

Four years of full-time life as Jenny

Today marks the fourth anniversary of me coming out completely, living as the incredible woman I was always meant to be. It hasn’t all been easy, but it has been wonderful. I 💜 the fact that I’m treated as the woman I am, wherever I go. I never expected that I would have brilliant 💜purple💜 hair with 💙cobalt blue💙 streaks, but that’s been me for almost two years now. I’m certainly memorable for that!

I’ve never been happier and more comfortable with myself. I never imagined that before my transition. Life continues to throw challenges my way, but my identity as Jenny, a joyful woman, makes it easier to face those obstacles.

I hope all of you find the answers, peace, and happiness I’ve found.

68, 4+ years in transition, rocking my Christmas ‘24 vagina!, living an amazing life as the incredible woman I was always meant to be!

Euphoria at the nail salon

I 💜 my nail technician. At today’s appointment, she asked if I wanted flowers on my nails. “Of course,” I replied, knowing her amazing artistry. This is the incredible result!

Dating and sex while older⁉️

I’m 68, my libido is in overdrive, and potential partners just can’t handle that I’m trans. Men lose interest when they learn I’m post-operative. Women don’t seem to be interested in sex. Yes, I’m much more than that, but it feels like my vagina is gathering dust.

I haven’t had a partner in forever. Dating sites seem like a complete waste of time and money. I know I’m unusual at my age, but there has to be someone out there…

Suggestions?

68, 4+ years in transition, rocking my ‘24 Christmas vagina (but not enough), living an amazing life as the incredible woman I was always meant to be! 🎉🎊🙋🏼‍♀️✨💜🔥

Swarm Expedition: What supplies has Polo asked you for?

On some of the missions, it asks us to bring something to Polo. Have you gotten any requests for something other than a base element? So far, I’ve supplied:

- Ammonia
- Dioxite
- Gold
- Paraffinium
- Phosphorus
- Pyrite
- Uranium

Since I carry stockpiles of these in my ship, the missions are trivial. What can you add to the list?

ETA the two I missed (so far)

1 Stellarator Doughnut x 2 Curious Deposits bases x 10 minutes = 🤯

= 675,000+ Runaway Mould. I almost filled my maxed out Exosuit‼️ it’s going to take me* foreve*r to refine this into 135k+ nanites. Given I currently have 225k nanites, this is overkill, and I still have 49 Stellarators in my inventory⁉️

My goals for the Swarm Expedition Extended Dance Mix -- what are yours?

Knowing that this Expedition was going to last for a while, I set some ambitious goals for myself:

  • Build a base in the starting system ✅
  • Build a Curious Deposit base for nanites ✅ (x2, 8.3k and 17.7k Mould, respectively)
  • Ditch original ship for an S Class ship ✅ (Starborn Runner, from a previous Expedition)
  • Unlock all interesting base parts ✅
  • Unlock all crafting recipes ✅
  • Create a giant farm base for crafting ✅
  • Buy an A Class (or better) Freighter ✅ (The Children of Time, A 18+11)
  • Acquire a fleet of Frigates ✅
  • Fly five or more Frigate missions at one time ✅
  • Level up one or more Frigates ✅
  • Acquire all possible Exosuit slots ✅
  • Recognize that all missions are going to systems with Merchant Guild Envoys ✅
  • Raise Merchant Guild status to Exalted, unlocking all Guild giveaways ✅
  • Acquire enough Salvaged Frigate Modules to unlock Matter Beam ✅
  • Craft twenty Fusion Ignitors ✅
  • Craft twenty Stasis Devices ✅
  • Craft one billion units ✅ (At one point, I had well over three billion units)
  • Refine 250,000 nanites ✅
  • Upgrade Direwasp MultiTool to S Class ✅
  • Collect cooking ingredients to make Anomalous Doughnuts for incredible fauna scan returns ✅
  • Find all fauna species on at least ten worlds, including worlds with ten or more species ✅
  • Acquire enough Salvaged Frigate Modules to unlock all the interesting Freighter base parts ✅
  • Acquire enough Salvaged Frigate Modules to unlock Freighter Hyperspace jumps to red, green, and blue systems. ✅
  • Acquire 10 Cargo Bulkheads to return to my main save ✅ (currently 32)
  • Acquire all 16 Portal Glyphs from the graves of Travelers on visited stations and grave bases ✅
  • Ditch the Starborn Runner for an S Class ship that can actually land where you want to land ✅
  • Acquire a Sage green Squid, Sagely Squidilicious, via r/NMSCoordinateExchange ✅ (Thanks to u/Zeniant for the name suggestion!)
  • Max out Sagely Squidilicious to S 105+60 ✅
  • Run 100+ Swarm Sage missions ✅ (currently 120)
  • Upgrade Sagely Squidilicious to at least 40k DPS on its InfraKnife, 1k Maneuverability (1,300+), and 1k Hyperdrive range (2,000+) ✅
  • Build out Direwasp MultiTool, only to realize that it will never match my Atlas Sceptre. 94+k Damage Potential and 3.2k Scanning Range is hard to beat ✅

Next up, I'm going to cook Stellarators to harvest huge quantities of Curious Mould. What else should I be doing? I'd chase the Polished Stone building parts, but they require access to Purple star systems, which we don't have in the Expedition.

What are your extended dance mix goals for the Swarm Expedition?

Tuxedo cat makes an appearance in Disclosure Day (no spoilers)

Ms. Pandora (top) and Mr. Houdini (bottom) wanted me to tell you that if you look very closely in the background of Emily Blunt’s character’s childhood bedroom, there’s a framed picture of a cute tuxedo cat! That’s a Close Encounter of the Best Kind! 😻🤍🖤🤍🖤

👍👍 on the movie, and not just for the tuxie!

Does anyone have examples of how to automate Extractors ➡️ Trains ➡️ Base storage?

I have some remote Extractors that collect resources, then stop until I go out to swap storage Containers. I’d like to automate this, so that trains bring home the collected resources. I’ve read this is possible, but I haven’t found any examples, especially when it comes to the sensors. I just have the base game. Can anyone provide examples or suggestions? Thanks! 🙏

Can you physically move the MAT?

I found the MAT on Desolo, wedged between two sections of wreckage. I tried to dig around it to get access, but there was a hollow beneath it, which it fell into. I’ve built some ramps down to it, but it’s still a challenge to get things into it. I can’t seem to grab it, even to lift it upright. Can you use a Packager to make it more accessible? Do I have to use the terrain-changing tool to nudge it upright? Suggestions?
