Expeditions are a main draw.

As an "open universe" game, it helps to set your own goals. Many people work to find the "perfect ship". Others try to max out their frigate and fleet.

I decided to build a farm and mining operation that generates everything needed for top-tier manufactured goods. 20 min of base-hopping and crafting now nets me roughly one billion. This is enough to let me not worry about funds for a while.

Another fun thing to do is wander about with a friend. My brother and I routinely do derelict missions for fun.

It just boils down to "find what you enjoy doing and do that."

This is still in my "Co-Op Games Bin" with the "Forbidden" series.

All I can here now is the song "Stress" by Jim's Big Ego.

I'm still hoping for combo planets.

Or just not tell us and surprise us in the middle of a MO.

Daaaaamn!

They look good, though.

I had a cat that, for 16 years, would unerringly launch herself onto my groin as I lay in bed. Swapping places with my partner did not help. Only her passing released me.

At the very least, they have technical specs for their resins.

I would look up Reynolds Advanced Materials (they make Smooth-On). They cater to prop makers.

I do resin casting as it pertains to dice. Sadly, I have not found any communities where I am not the only poster.

I know of some dicemaking discords, but you might need to poke your head into Reddit (blasphemy to some here) and find external links from one of their communities.

As to basic questions for small scale casting (even my big pours are under 100ml), I am happy to answer.

I've got stacking tubs (~4L and ~9L) with metal sheets on the bottom, as I have magnets in my bases.

You should be able to get adhesive sheets of magnetic material that your bases will stick on.
