(steam page of No Man’s Sky)

some of the refinery recipes in NMS are so weird

oxygen -> carbon (inefficient burn)
// kind of makes sense, but what's it burning?

oxygen + ferrite -> rusted ferrite (oxidize metal) rusted ferrite -> 2 ferrite (recycle waste materials)
// both make sense on their own, but together the oxygen is just... getting turned into ferrite?
// don't question it, free ferrite

oxygen + dihydrogen -> salt (rapid combustion and evaporation)
// why does the water magically become salty

pugneum + cave marrow (plant) -> ionized cobalt (pugneum washing)
// HUH???
// I can't see how this makes sense, but pugneum *is* freaky sentinel drone goop so uhh
// if you say so ATLAS

gold -> pyrite (_forgot_what_this_is_called_) pyrite -> ferrite (ferrite extraction)
// I mean I guess??
// real life pyrite *is* FeSO4
// and gold and pyrite look similar (pyrite is often called "fools gold")
// odd refiner logic strikes again

I just wanted to say something about this, not bashing the game for it, I just find it funny

I can’t upload videos on here so I have to do it on the other website

very funny

I need to refactor like half of my code but that’s gonna suuuuuuuuuck

ok so I figured out how to put it on my website

https://7vector.neocities.org/starmap

this is the absolute latest version and may have some bugs or unfinished features (the refinery module does nothing currently)

(PC only btw, no mobile support)

CHANGES
- uhhh I forget what's new from the main branch but its probably a lot
- added ship modules, they do a variety of things and can be accessed from the ship menu [C]
- more modules will be added in the future
- miscellaneous visual changes, station menus look a little better
- I think having the big star in the background is new

EDIT:
- just fixed a critical bug that made the algae grower work absurdly fast, whoops!
- prices actually display properly now, how did I not notice that, no wonder they always seemed like a vague suggestion lol

I’m getting closer to releasing the next update for Star Map, I just need to finish making the refinery and I should be all set to release it

that being said, that might take a while because the refinery needs a lot of buttons

I also realize I need to figure out how to host it so that you all can actually play it, I’ll probably use my neocities site

I played 15 hours in the first two days after I got it

for context: I got bored and thought about making a laser, so I looked into how powerful you can legally make one where I live, and it's less than a watt ):

VAHT DO YOU MEAN IM NOT ALLOWED TO BUILD A GIANT LASER

L bozo ngl, he had it coming

bites you bites you bites you you bleed out and die hehehehehehe

oh no wait no

no

It’s not over

No matter what, we cannot stop fighting for humanity and our planet

Do not give up, stay strong everyone o7
