very cautious sneef ๐๐ฅฐ
through the vents, yeah. It takes a bit of getting used to, and even then, it can take a couple of attempts. Nice to have the quasar cannon as a backup, as you can just blast a vent with that in a pinch to take it out (or an eagle airstrike if I'm getting impatient).
That said, I find it mega difficult to throw my impact grenades in there lol.
The picture with your pup is especially sweet. Glad mum came back for the bebi.
And the Linux / Unix-specific ecosystem & technology arguments therein.
Many fixes do not reach the release notes. Have been working towards improving this situation and getting out more detailed changelogs.
oh look at that lil snoot ๐๐ฅฐ
I'm super basic. I find it hard to switch away from the sickle, the prospect of infinite ammo is very strong. I want to use other weapons, I hate the look of the sickle, but every time I try I get a little frustrated with managing ammo and my reloading habits in other games make the 'drop mag mechanic' particularly punishing. I feel like its exceptionally accurate with (kB+m) and despite the spin up mechanic, I can put down heavier bots with 2-3 controlled headshots. You can kind of semi auto fire it if you tap the mouse. Too versatile for me to swap out.
Love the grenade pistol secondary for clearing our fabricators and bug holes. Comes in handy for displacing scout striders in a pinch.
Quasar cannon is also way too versatile of a weapon for me to leave behind. A fast traveling, hard hitting long range projectile with a straight trajectory? No ammo management? Forget about it. I've been playing with MGs more for bug missions, mind you.
I use the light armour set that has a padded bonus because movement speed is addictive.
For 40 minute missions and blitz, I tend to go Eagle airstrike (objective or crowd control), Orbital railcannon (heavy enemies in an emergency), bubble shield (am basic, I told you), and support weapon.
For eradicate and defend high value whatever missions, I use the thick armour with the padded bonus (looks like a bulldozer from payday 2), mortar sentry, 380mm orbital barrage, eagle airstrike, maybe a support weapon.
There is a developer facing video on how to enable and enrich timeline events: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwBD0E4-EsI
Though I'm not sure yet in whether timeline events are automatically created from existing game aachievement scenarios etc.
Truly envious of your workshop capabilities!
Great stuff!
Excellent work! So this allows you to both top and bottom load the carriage?
Where did I say they were harvesting data?
Got back home, took my top off and was surprised to see this little guy clinging onto the back.
Took em out into the backyard and let them slowly crawl onto one of my plants. Not sure what kind of caterpillar this is but I think they were okay with their new spot.

Welcome to my shitty, dusty garage gym.
Practically all of my kit is from Mirafit and Fitness Superstore (UK). Primarily focused on weightlifting & bodybuilding.
Power rack:
Mirafit M100 Half Power Rack with Cable System.
It's served me well over the last three years but I'm honestly surprised it hasn't fallen apart. It's no longer up for sale through Mirafit or third party retailers, and I can see why. Mirafit use OEM designs and stick their name on it. If you see a half power rack like mine, maybe stay away from it:
The M100 half rack has a lower weight capacity (200KG) than the full M100 (250KG) due to its design. You'll observe a concerning sway with three or more plates a side. It has miraculously survived 180 KG back squats and rack pulls though it's definitely not something I could wholeheartedly endorse as a power rack alone. I went for a half rack at the time due to spatial constraints i.e. not having to delicately manoeuvrer a barbell in the confined garage space I have available.
It did come with some bells and whistles, notably the plate-loaded cable / pulley system (with a couple attachments) and incline bench. Power racks with integrated cable systems can be exceptionally versatile provided you have the gear to supplement them:
Made some minor alterations to the rack:
I've gotten a tremendous amount of utility of this package as a whole, though it's let down by the overall flimsiness of the rack. If anyone could recommend a newer, sturdier half rack + cable system, I'd love to hear about it. Mirafit's newer half-rack designs (or whichever OEM they use) are much better, but tend to lack the pulley system option.
Incline Bench:
Mirafit M150
Decent enough incline bench with a small footprint. Has a total weight total capacity of 260KG and is fairly affordable on its own. The design of this bench makes it somewhat unsuitable for barbell hip thrust from the side, as it has only three 'feet', but generally feels stable for most other exercises.
Barbell:
Mirafit M3 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (28mm diameter, fine knurl, sprung steel) Lovely bar, no complaints. Generally chalk up for deadlift but it's a pleasure to use either way.
Bodypower 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (30mm diameter, coarse knurl) Was a decent bar with a very coarse knurl. Would shred you up but it did its job. I've since handed this over to my cousin.
350KG in plates, bunch of quick release collars
Flooring: ARK Solid Black Rubber Mat CK (With Hidden Handles) X 4 (12mm thick) This was an afterthought and I deeply regret not having them to begin with. Please ensure you have appropriate flooring for your weights area.
Other stuff:
I feel like I'm mostly covered but have made some substitutions. I do more working sets of squat in lieu of a plate-loaded leg press and a few exercises to cover the lack of a hack squat machine, but I haven't been back to a commercial gym since.
I try that and still manage to fuck up ๐
