Hmmmm…this update caused my main base planet to revert back to its original name…
and it says I now have superheated drizzle and aggressive sentinels…
UPDATE: sentinels are NOT, I repeat, NOT aggressive…
Oh and my old Exo is on fire.

YES! They fixed the blaze javelin thing!
Also, I’m really excited about all of the new Exocraft modifications.

They fixed the automated mining units and atmosphere harvesters?
IT’S HARVEST TIME!
My crafting project has required 90% of my time devoted to running from planet to planet trying to find a full hopper. That’s a big investment in time for a casual player. If this is fixed, then my 13 planet factory should be able to run normally.
This calls for some sort of harvest celebration!
I’m not sure I have enough quicksilver for both costumes and decorations. I might have to try to make some sort of home-made costume from a Solar Vine. I’m pretty sure Echinocactus would chafe.
See what happens to single-player’s minds when they spend too much time wandering around alone in the universe?
I haven’t even started rambling on about starships arriving on landing pads, the end of quantum leaps on teleporting, coordinate displays in starships, larger exocraft inventory, custom exocraft… It looks like most of my personal wish list was cleared in a single routine update.

I built up the number of my gas harvesters, so I could still get a decent return, even if less than half of them were working.
Now they’ve fixed them. What am I going to do with all this gas?
I think I’ll open a balloon shop.

Balloons would make a great addition to a harvest celebration.

Yes, they did have horns before, but the animals ignore it (just like in real life).

Well, that’s what I get for not trying all my buttons…but, then again, I am the person who never finished Myst End of Ages because it was the last Myst game and I couldn’t stand the thought. So I saved and quit while standing at the Keep for the last time. I took up the mantra, The ending has not yet been written in hopes that one day… (fingers crossed) and here I am 13 years later, and I jump into the Kickstarter for Myst and now I have End of Ages on my PC and today, yes it only took 13 years but today, I finally finished the game.
So yeah, I didn’t realize the Exo had a horn…did that make any sense…prolly not.

It was a good story, and I’m glad you finished Myst! There’s something satisfying about revisiting an old game you never finished

Warning: Just went to send my frigates on a mission and when I pulled up the available missions, my whole game froze.
EDIT Restart required. No damage taken.
Also, AMD now using about half the memory it was using before.
