Hello fellow Travelers!

I’ve just finished building a massive luxury casino and resort located right on a scenic plateau in the Eissentam Galaxy (Galactic Hub space). The planet has an amazing alien vibe with vibrant purple flora and golden skies.

The resort features three distinct floors tailored for every type of visitor:

1st Floor: The main casino floor for standard guests, featuring multiple gaming tables and a massive central crystalline centerpiece.

2nd Floor (VIP Lounge): An exclusive lounge area with personal Gek dealers/staff, large aquariums, and exotic glowing flora. It offers stunning panoramic views of the planetary rings through giant glass walls, especially at night!

3rd Floor: My private penthouse apartment equipped with a modern fireplace, luxury bed, and a cozy seating area perfect for relaxing after a long day.

The planet glyphs are included directly in the last screenshot. Feel free to stop by, roll some dice, grab a drink at the bar, and enjoy the view!

Location & Info:

Planet glyphs: Last picture

Galaxy: Eissentam

Region: Galactic Hub

Game Mode: Creative

Platform: PC

Planet Coordinates: -43.25 , +57.87

Base Name: Casino Interdimensional Glass Catedral

Looking forward to seeing some visitors. Let me know what you think!

Introducing Loper Labs

Loper Labs is a new HubCoin business operating under the umbrella of the GH Exobiology Corps.

Loper Labs serves as the successor to the Aviary by Corvus, a famous companion-engineering business which provided custom companions to many interlopers in the past. The Aviary closed down just about two years ago, on May 29, 2024.

It’s my hope that reopening a business in such a high-demand sector will spur some much-needed life back into our HubCoin economy. The economy took a huge hit in 2022 when Hello Games added difficulty settings to all non-Permadeath modes, significantly reducing the demand for most “manual labor” type of jobs (farming Silicate Powder, Ferrite Dust, etc etc) in a single update.

With fewer things to buy, fewer ways to earn HubCoin, and the closure of the Aviary removing likely the most in-demand service which still remained after 2022, people were less motivated to earn HubCoin unless they wanted some physical merch. This caused a knock-on effect where the more “specialty labor” type of jobs - such as custom Bytebeats artists, graphic design services, base design services, fan artists, or even the poetry shop which one interloper ran for a while - also gradually disappeared as their owners were less incentivized to earn. Economic activity crawled to a near-standstill, with HubCoin mostly being rewarded by the Galactic Hub directly.

This represents the first of two (maybe three) significant steps towards reversing that trend and reinvigorating the Hubspace economy… hopefully. If not, at least everyone still gets some cool pets!

(As a quick note, if you need to earn HubCoin, Achievements are the best place to start, followed by GHEC work / GHSL athlete career. You can also start your own business, ping me in #hubcoin for help with that! Competition is currently slim, so all sectors are wide open!)

Menu

Loper Labs offers:

• Custom Companions (5,000 HubCoin): Do you want a companion data engineered to your specifications? Loper Labs can create your dream (or nightmare) companion. With very few restrictions, we can combine and remove any parts, including combinations of parts which are impossible in the vanilla game. See our Terms & Disclaimers, especially the Variable Functionality section, before placing an order as some genera are not viable companions or may display certain issues. All custom companions will be tested before delivery. Please be aware that there is no specific timeline for orders. Except for a 150 HubCoin downpayment, all balance due will be collected upon delivery of your order. This is done specifically so customers are not waiting through any potential delays after already paying.
• X-Series (3,000 HubCoin): These species were rendered de-extinct using the methods of the Jurassic Hub Project. All species currently in this section were created by The Aviary. Loper Labs obtained the species after the Aviary's closure and modified the species for competitive Pokésean viability (SSS stats).
• LL-Series (2,500 HubCoin): These species are not obtainable through ordinary gameplay, such as species with impossible combinations of fauna parts, species with parts removed which could not ordinarily be removed, or impossibly large / impossibly small fauna species. All LL-Series stats are modified to SSS.
• GH-Series (750 HubCoin): These species are found naturally in Galactic Hub space, but are unavailable for console / non-modded players to adopt as companions. GH-Series stats are generally modified to SSS with the exception of natural double-S-single-A's which are left as-is.
• E-Series (500 HubCoin, New HubCoin User Discount Available): This series consists of retooled expedition companions. Despite their unique status, expedition companions are not guaranteed good stats - you must undergo a tedious re-rolling / reloading process until an egg with competitive Pokésean capability is hatched. Now, thanks to Loper Labs, all expedition companions can shine in their full potential. Our E-Series species are modified versions of expedition companions with triple-S stats.

Pokesean Legality

All creatures offered by Loper Labs are legal for competitive Pokesean purposes. All creatures are effectively cosmetic-only and could just as easily be matched in competitive play by anyone accessing a catalog of SSS creatures.

Custom Pokesean movesets are not offered by Loper Labs, nor are non-vanilla stats. These changes are possible only by data engineering already hatched creatures; Loper Labs only offers creature eggs. Eggs appear to be subject to certain checks for non-vanilla content when hatching, making them a safe method of distributing creatures for multiplayer events. For example, if an egg’s data is modified to contain an impossible (or even possible-but-non-default) move, it will revert to the default when that egg is actually hatched. Eggs with, for example, 9,999 Independence stat would also revert to the regular maximum of 100 when hatched.

Other Disclaimers

See the Terms & Disclaimers section of the Loper Labs wiki for important disclaimer information, including: Commercial Resale Policy, Non-Commercial Sharing Policy, Neutering / Anti-Reproductive Measures Policy, Variable Companion Functionality, Pokésean Disqualification Disclaimer, Hello Games Action Disclaimer, and Data Corruption Disclaimer. (The disclaimers are all less scary than they sound, but still important to read!)

First Sales Event

The first sales event will be taking place in the [HUB16-1F0] Hyperion system aboard the massive Aeon City Shuttle Corvette. It will be parked next to the Space Station and open for business before and after tomorrow’s Pokésean tournament!

Custom Companion Orders can be placed in the "Loper Labs: Companions for Sale" section of the GH Marketplace forum, accessible in our Discord.
