Anyone else feel a bit weird about Costigan announcing the Portland game? I mean, I don’t resent him pursuing his career, and I know he has a history with Portland, but he’s ostensibly our guy. Arlo went national, then EPL, and his career is awesome (thanks Seattle!); is Costigan our guy, or just working for us as a stepping stone? (I assume the latter.)

If my real-life finances were controlled like my resources in this game, I'd be in debt by my entire lifetime earnings. Refiners lose contents; the game crashes and you lose whatever you were working on; gas or mineral collectors take the carbon but don't extract anything. I've decided to start using the personal-refiner-in-the-Anomaly glitch. Why do all the bugs take from you, rather than larding you up with nanites and credits?

I spent an hour feeding my 300 Delicious Vegetable Stews into Cronus. Pretty good return in nanites, but SO INCREDIBLY TEDIOUS. I was 2/3 of the way done, and my game crashed, and that hour was gone. Repetitive stress eating my tendons. Screw this. I have a farm with 27 Curious Deposits for Runaway Mould--I can make tons of nanites with just twenty minutes of shooting the balls, and a lot of background refining mould into nanites.

In the last two days, I've had to redo everything that requires electricity or piping. All my biodomes stopped growing--I had to delete them, rebuild them and replant everything. All my hotspots stopped working. Either my save file got badly damaged, or something in a recent update broke everything. Anyone else having problems?

I spent a couple hours reloading to get the perfect freighter. I hadn’t emptied my old freighter’s inventory because I read you can transfer it via speaking to the new captain. Nope. The only option I get is to transfer from starship to freighter. So I lost a bunch of junk and a few things I really wanted. Oh well—this game is dreadful when it comes to losing stuff.

Apparently, everybody knows this but me: people are driving around stealing catalytic converters from under cars. Mine was taken from my 1st gen Prius at 8am. In front of my house. I was awake. Active neighborhood. Car's worth about as much as the repair. They jacked up the car and used a sawsall. Two minutes, max, $2k+ repair. I hear they target trucks especially because there's room underneath without jacking. First the Capitol (third world problem), and now this (first world problem). Anyway, it's better than armed robbery or home invasion.
