I’ve been thinking of something to do for the celebration since being asked to join, and came up with the idea of streaming the 4.13 Fractals Dev Build. Might be neat to show off how the game works under the hood after 10 years of release while encouraging people to take part in the event, especially since most of the systems have been updated but not replaced since launch. I’ve got a script to spoof Steam into thinking I’m playing the game, so it shouldn’t detract from the player count goal. Probably the most “in-line” special I could come up with for my other content
. Thoughts? I was thinking of doing this stream before the start of the main festivities as some sort of marketing for the main event, so that I can join into other festivities of course!
That would be very cool. One thing i hate about streaming and miss about physical media is its absence of the absolutely bloated behind the scenes features we used to get.
Love seeing stuff like that, would definitely tune in
I love this idea!
As for the nice system I had saved for a possible build location, I lost it…I could swear I put out a BC…so open to suggestions and systems. Low storms and nice sentinels would be great.
I should be able to find some time this weekend. Let’s meet up and find a nice location?
As for building, I can help out with the use of Blender if needed/wanted. When you suggested the skydiving, I was right away thinking of that other idea you proposed a while ago, the pixel art Emily idea. Might work well together, if we can get the image to look good enough, or perhaps try our logo or something else instead? Either way, a skydive into a cool build or several, would be nice imo.
Anyone else got some time this weekend? The more the merrier…
That could be cool. Skydive into the logo or the Emily pic.
I will have some time Sunday. I will start scouting systems today. Maybe I can find something nice.
I found this Overgrown Moon. Light Showers. Sentinels require orthodoxy but are not provoked by your presence (just leave a gift at the altar and you will be fine) Rich flora and generous fauna.
It’s similar to the color of the forum and has nice trees
Nice views
and these
There is no water….
The system contains
Torrid moon with scrap also dissonant and one side is inside the nearby rings
Rotting planet with bones and vigilant stone
Unstable planet
Nuclear planet with bones and storm crystals
Dusty planet with bones
The system is VyKeen and has medium conflict.
The discord has given us their blessing on the skydiving venture. I guess we need to get started and work out the feasibility.
I will provide coords if everyone agrees on this locale.
Taking a break. My eyes can’t take any more…
Seems like a great system. A water world would be nice, but … ![]()
I can keep looking.
Diving through a tornado sounds like a fun time and very on brand for a sheral myst production. Lets go storm chasing or recreate the driving scene from twister, plop a cow in the back of the colossus
With both a paradise planet and a paradise moon, I claimed the system, named it (which can be changed later) so it is ours if we choose to use it.
I say yes
If this system is a winner, I will hand out the portal address to builders.
If this is not, then I will keep looking.
It seems @toddumptious should be able to easily fill out anniversary system with fun and games. Maybe we should build a big county fair type event.
People can skydive into @DevilinPixy ‘s rings and land on a target with either the Atlas or Emily on it. That could land them in the heart of the fairgrounds where they can then run around and waste their units trying to win cheap prizes. ![]()
Oh damn… One of those dunk tanks I’ve only ever seen in movies would be a fun possibility. Where you throw the ball and the carnival “fool” goes into the water tank.
A county fair would be a great idea. Skydive into the Fair and see how you fare!
Whoooo wants a Earthlike planet? ![]()
Sometimes the sky turns a bit pinkish
The water is very watery, too!
I saw no sentinels nor bad weather while I was there. Is that because of Creative mode? Do I need to check it again in Normal? I assumed it also exists in other modes. I have the portal address.
There is a variety of other planets, including a second paradise planet with a different color (I think it was yellow).
You need to carefully check descriptions in the discovery tab
In Normal mode, there are sentinels, but they just walk by and ignore me. When I mine in front of their noses, they turn red, then I make 5 steps to the side and they forget about it.
Yep. That looks like a stable planet. Nice find. What’s the rest of the system like?
- A pink green light-blue Earthlike paradise, fossils, ocean
- An orange+blue hot-storms paradise, fossils, ocean
- A rocky dry planet, cactus, activated weather, vile brood, salvage, waste,
- A barren dry planet, huge neon beetles, salvage, waste, weird animals
- A ringed dead world
- A bright red radioactive planet with some floating rocks, small radioactive anomaly, water
Ok now a few system facts. What is the conflict level? I see it is level 1. I have been searching for Tranquil, At Peace, Stable etc…that info is back one screen in the Discovery tab and on the Galactic Map
Edit: I messed up on that first system and ended up in one with medium conflict. Did I bump my controller? I could swear it said At Peace before I jumped.
The 2nd system is Peaceful
It would be nice if guests are not attacked every time they arrive and our county fair is not strafed every 30 minutes.
Do we want to spend the day visiting these systems for a first hand look?
And let’s give ourselves a deadline. Have a system chosen by next weekend? Choose one today?
The reason why I’m providing info so sluggishly, is, I’m lazy parked there only in Creative Mode, and certain info can be different in Normal Mode.
And in Normal mode, I’m parked at the portal on the planet where we wanted to do the Nomad race. (What became of that?)
I literally thought to myself, “Do they think I’m made out of copper?!
Charging portals to check the stats? In this economy?!”

If you want to pass me the portal code, I can run gather all the info. Then we will put the 3 systems to a vote
