I’ve been role-playing as, basically what we are, a cartographer/curator but I’ve begun using my extreme rudimentary design and build skills to create little “temples” on certain planets.

As a cartographer of sorts I’ve also been renaming planets and systems to reflect their qualities but have been using Google Translate to name then in Greek, Latin, German, or Esparanto.

My settlement is a small group of believers/worshippers that sprung up around one of these temples which helps keep me motivated to stay involved in its operation.

Im what ways do you like to keep this game fresh?

So while basebuilding inside my frieghter, I removed a door while being a bit too close to it. This led me to being stuck in the walls of the frieghter. I tried to jetpack back in through where the ship is enters but I was still stuck ‘outside of the map’ so to speak.

I tried reloading a save but the autosave had made one post bug.

All out of options, I decided to make a leap of faith down to my planet. Luckily I had summoned the frieghter while on it, so it was as close as could be.

Burned through close to 2000 sodium, 450 sodium nitrate and 10 life support packs. By the time I landed on the ground I was completely out of resources and was moments away from death.

I had never been so happy to see one of those bastard venus-man trap plants that can miraculously harm you from a meter away. Zapped it up and recharged.

One of the best moments in my gaming life, despite the bug.
