Ragnarok - Day 38

Well I have a couple of things to cover in today's post.  For starters I had my VIP guest!  It was day later than orig thought because RL happens :)  I'm now happy enough to say what it was.  I post the occasional screenshot in the Mazionite Discord - SelfPromo section and when I posted the pics of the scrollwork from the storage base I came home to find this:

For those that remember I had a tour from Mazion on my Center map base (I really need to name my bases lol).  It has been a little while since I got the above message as I was only just finishing the storage base and wanted to be sure I had enough good content before we did another tour.  Well as of 30 mins ago the tour has been completed.  He has gone straight onto streaming so I'm not 100% sure when it will be edited and released but I will link it from here once it is online!

I set him up with all sorts of gear and such and on teleporting between bases on the initial look around he was mounted and it destroyed him!  I had death helper installed and he got nothing.  It very much destroyed him!  The one thing I am super happy about is that I didn't say Facility soooo many times in this tour.  I don't think...  I've often thought of watching the first one again and getting a total count lol. It has to be quite a few.

I had a great time doing the recording.   Even when he isn't on cam or recording he still comes across as being a genuinely nice guy.  For anyone that is interested before we start recording there is a brief fly around.  Normally this is when he would be assessing if a base is good enough for doing a tour vid.  In this case it was to get an idea as to what part was going to be done first and if anything was going to be skipped.  There are a few area's we didn't bother with.  I had estimated 1 hour to get around but we managed it in about 40mins thankfully!  We have a bit of a chat about things as we do the initial run around and looked at some of the better bits I wanted to cover.  There was one drop out of discord while recording but other than that it went pretty well.  We cut between locations so viewers didn't get the load in lag.  He is in USA I'm in NZ so the lag is about as bad as it can get. This is the first singleplayer tour vid!  Possibly the first repeat vid on someone that isn't a pooper or patreon even.  

So last night I started on the process of re-creating a UFO build.  I'm only 4 hours into this build so its only got a rough shape about it.  I had to be up early for the tour or I would have gotten another couple of hours done.  Its not very high off the ground this time (I've wondered if I should have made it higher) but I've found a flaw that I can't fix.  It seems that the S+ torches don't save the colour on SP restarts :(  I reset the colour of 2 engines for the screencap so you can see what it should look like.
